The customized solutions we offer to our clients are built on our extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of best practices to help investors meet their investment objectives.

At Cambridge Associates, we serve a diverse group of clients including foundations and endowments, private clients, and corporate and government entities. Our original client base of 12 colleges and universities still work with us, and we pride ourselves on maintaining long-standing consulting relationships with our clients. We have enjoyed a 95% average client retention rate over ten years, and we are proud that over 90% of our most engaged clients are willing to recommend our firm, according to our most recent client survey. In fact, nearly all of our new clients come to us from the referrals of our existing client base.
 

Our partnership with some of the most sophisticated institutional investors has helped us to identify firsthand the best practices for successful investment program development and implementation. These time-tested best practices are now the foundation of our investment consulting philosophy, which underpins our consulting approach for our entire client base. Our extensive client base also enables us to provide one of the most comprehensive nonprofit comparative peer data universes in the consulting industry.
 

With more than 800 clients with assets ranging from $50 million to tens of billions of dollars, we have studied virtually every topic impacting investment success and have an encyclopedic knowledge of best practices.
