Dunham won the Marketing Innovation award in the Institutional Boutique Firm category at the 2026 Asset Management STAR Awards North America.
Jeffrey Dunham, Chairman and Founder; Ryan Dykmans, CFA, President and Chief Investment Officer; and Salvatore M. Capizzi, CEPA, CBDA, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, were in Boston to accept the award on behalf of the firm.
And honestly, we’re proud of the recognition.
If you’ve opened the Morning Pour, read our Tuesday Blog, or downloaded an advisor guide - you’ve seen the work behind it. We put a great deal of effort into making complex topics clear and creating resources that help financial advisors serve their clients and grow their practices.
Here’s a closer look at that work.
In its coverage of the awards, Ignites - a Financial Times (FT) publication - highlighted Dunham’s investment in a content team that helped turn a reliance on outbound sales into an engine of inbound inquiries.
In fact. one judge cited the “energetic and free-thinking” effort that shows “strategy and direction” at Dunham.
That description means a lot to us.
Because we publish content independent financial advisors can actually use.
That means explaining what’s happening in markets and the global economy while tackling the decisions that come with running a practice - from finding new clients to figuring out who will serve them when you retire.
We put our effort into making those topics clear, practical, and worth your time.
Our publications approach that job from a few different angles.
These are different formats but share the same purpose – which is to give you something worth your time, whether that’s an idea to explore, a chart that helps explain a trend, or a resource that helps you think through a business decision.
Of course, an article only helps if someone finds it. With so much information competing for attention online, even the best ideas and resources can get lost.
That’s why we’ve also worked to make these resources easier to discover through search and AI-powered answers.
If you’ve searched for financial advisor book lists, marketing strategies, or an explanation of a market development and landed on a Dunham article, that’s part of the marketing effort too.
We want advisors to find our work when they’re looking for answers - and have a reason to come back.
We also share these strategies with our advisors so they can make their own content easier to find and reach more of the people they want to serve.
The award is a welcome recognition of that effort. But the reason to keep doing it comes from the people on the other side of the screen.
The advisors who read. The ones who share an article with a colleague. The readers who reply with a question or a different perspective.
You help make this work better.
So, to everyone who keeps reading, sharing, and working with us - thank you.
More to come from Dunham.
