About

Hightower provides investment advisory and planning services to a broad mix of individual and institutional clients, including pension and profit-sharing plans, charitable organizations, corporations, trusts, registered and private pooled investment vehicles, insurance companies and other financial institutions. These services are delivered through its network of Advisor Practices and include discretionary and non-discretionary portfolio management, financial planning, retirement plan consulting and access to pooled vehicles and private funds as described in the Form ADV.

The firm’s advisory model emphasizes manager selection and multi-manager solutions: Advisors may use Affiliated Managers (including Hightower’s Investment Solutions and the Hightower One program) and Third Party Managers, and Hightower discloses the use of proprietary research (including NEPC) and portfolio construction that can include mutual funds, ETFs, alternative investments and custom/direct indexing. The ADV also details operational features of the programs (monitoring, rebalancing and home-office trading for Hightower One) and discusses investment considerations for international and non‑U.S. exposure, tax-managed strategies and use of margin when appropriate.

Compared with many peers, the brochure highlights several less-common attributes: Hightower’s affiliated broker‑dealer, Hightower Securities, receives placement, distribution and other transaction-related compensation for certain products (including alternative investments and insurance), and the firm discloses commission-related activities and revenue-sharing arrangements. The ADV further shows experience with large pooled and institutional mandates (including sub-advisory and co-advisory roles for private funds) and describes managing cross-border exposures and related country/currency risks, which aligns with the firm’s disclosure of a notable non‑U.S. client presence and relationships with large institutional investors.

Not sure where to start?

We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.

Find your advisor

For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.

Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.

By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
