FAIRFIELD, IA and CHICAGO, IL – February 22, 2022 – Cambridge, a leading provider of financial solutions to independent financial professionals, and Retirement Plan Advisors (RPA), a leading consultant and investment adviser to public sector retirement plans, announced a partnership to bring comprehensive plan and participant advisory and fiduciary services to communities nationwide. This new offering, called Cambridge Retirement Plan Advisors, will help guide Cambridge financial professionals in the process of identifying, winning, and servicing public sector retirement plans.
“For many of our financial professionals, public sector retirement plans represent an untapped lead generation opportunity and long-term client relationships,” said Cambridge Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer Jeff Vivacqua. “We’re excited to partner with RPA to provide this new opportunity for growth to the more than 3,700 financial professionals who call Cambridge home.”
This partnership allows Cambridge financial professionals to bring RPA’s public sector retirement expertise to smaller municipalities – cities, counties, villages, townships, fire districts, park districts – that may not receive the attention and fiduciary support available to private sector employers.
“As more employers recognize the importance of incorporating financial wellness and investment advice in their core benefits, we’re honored to partner with Cambridge and independent financial professionals to bring these services to public sector employers and their employees, regardless of location,” said RPA President Josh Schwartz.
