The Circle of Excellence recognizes advisors who meet or exceed Cambridge's annual production benchmarks while exemplifying the firm's core values, including integrity, commitment, flexibility, and kindness. Qualification is benchmark-based rather than quota-based, and the number of honorees may vary each year. The award is not based on investment performance.
Established in 2023, the Circle of Excellence honors financial professionals who demonstrate strong leadership, a service-driven mindset, and a commitment to continuous growth. Honorees are selected for their professionalism, dedication to clients, and positive impact within the financial services community.
As part of this recognition, Circle of Excellence qualifiers are invited to attend the 2026 Circle of Excellence Conference in Nassau, Bahamas. The multi-day event brings together honorees and Cambridge senior leadership for education, collaboration, and networking, featuring thought-provoking speakers and sessions designed to inspire innovation and leadership.
"David Burch has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving his clients and continually growing as a leader in our profession," said Jeff Vivacqua, President of Growth and Development at Cambridge. "We are proud to recognize David as part of our Circle of Excellence community—leaders who reflect the very best of Cambridge's culture by leading with purpose, serving with care, and striving to make a positive impact."
The 2026 Cambridge Circle of Excellence award is based on personal and/or office production benchmarks established by Cambridge. This award is not based on investment performance and is not indicative of client experience.
