Cambridge Associates has lost senior employee Kevin Stephenson and his team of roughly a dozen investment professionals, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Another organization lifted out the 14-person team. The team had operated as a self-contained group, which will limit their departure’s collateral damage to the consulting and investment firm, a source confirmed Thursday.

Stephenson was a senior and longtime member of staff. He was a managing director based out of the firm’s Arlington, Virginia office as of 2017, according to a Council of Foundations document. He spent more than a decade at Cambridge Associates, press releases show.
