Hightower Elevates Its Family Office Offering for UHNW Clients

Hightower Advisors is expanding its Hightower Family Office platform, broadening the suite of services available to advisors serving ultra-high-net-worth clients as demand for more integrated wealth solutions continues to grow.

The enhanced platform brings together institutional investment consulting, advanced financial planning, family governance, tax and estate strategy, and business advisory services into a unified framework. The move is designed to help advisors address the increasingly complex needs of wealthy individuals and multi-generational families while maintaining a centralized client relationship.

The expansion builds on Hightower’s strategic partnership with institutional consulting firm NEPC, following its 2024 investment in the firm. NEPC advises on more than $1.5 trillion in assets across a range of institutional clients, including endowments, foundations, pensions and family offices.

Hightower is also extending its capabilities through a relationship with GTBA, a Los Angeles-based business management and family office firm that serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals, executives and entrepreneurs, including clients in the entertainment sector.

Through the platform, advisors gain access to institutional-style investment oversight alongside specialized planning and advisory resources, enabling a more comprehensive approach to wealth management.

“The expansion of the Hightower Family Office reflects our commitment to helping advisors serve clients across the full wealth spectrum while remaining at the center of the relationship,” said Larry Restieri, CEO of Hightower.
