Dunham & Associates reviews

Products and Services are below average. High employee turnover despite what management says Products are sold based on a gimic (performance based fees) rather then a benefit to the end client. Sales leadership is more like the manager of a used car lot. Fees on the funds are extremely high (just look on Morningstar) even when the fulcrum fee (performance fee structure) is at the lowest level meaning the fund has underperformed. Marketing material is dated in both looks and content. Sales leadership refuses to show relative performance (fund performance vs, a benchmark) because the performance is less than stellar, Showing relative performance is an industry standard. Dunham would rather hide their poor performance. Firm is talking up a new technology platform which is not unique and is actually used by one of its main competitors. So instead of putting Dunham ahead of the game they are only putting the firm on par with competitors who have had the technology for years. CEO wears horrible suits. Sales leadership constantly uses misleading statements when describing Dunham and their products. Probably because of the poor performance and their effort to hide this. Dunham is constantly out-classed by its competitors in both performance, marketing, and relationships with broker/dealers.

MISOGYNISTIC and HOMOPHOBIC. After letting HR know about numerous instances of very disgusting conversations of rape and other homophobic comments little was done. As soon as I left the company the person who said these horrible things and was supposedly on "high alert" for saying these things got a promotion. The founder is anti remote work yet he travels the world while working remotely :( Very old people work here and it is not a good place for young folks. The office is very old and everything is out dated. Also the pay is horrible, you can find a lot of other great opportunities.
