Founded in 2008, Hightower is a wealth management practice that provides investment, financial and retirement planning services to individuals, foundations and family offices, as well as 401(k) consulting and cash management services to corporations. Hightower’s capital solutions, operational support services, size and scale empower its vibrant community of independent‑minded wealth advisors to grow their businesses and help their clients achieve their financial vision.
