Hightower Advisors announced it has expanded its Hightower Signature Wealth (HTSW) brand by adding five advisory practices: Fairport Wealth, Hightower Wealth Advisors | St. Louis, HT|TC Wealth Partners, RDM Financial Group, and The Rikoon Group. The firm said the move is intended to broaden clients’ planning and investment capabilities while providing a more unified operating model for participating advisory teams.
With the additions, HTSW now represents more than $20.8 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025, according to the company. Hightower said the Signature Wealth brand now spans 19 locations nationwide and includes more than 100 advisors.
Hightower launched Signature Wealth in October as a brand designed to give growth-oriented RIAs access to a large-scale, nationally recognized platform while maintaining a personalized advisory experience. The firm said the model complements its broader advisor community by streamlining operations and leveraging centralized services and resources.
Matthias Kuhlmey, Hightower’s chief development officer, will lead continued expansion and integration of the HTSW platform. Hightower said it expects additional practices from within its network and external acquisitions to join in the coming months.
Across the broader firm, Hightower said its nationwide community includes 663 advisors in 33 states and the District of Columbia, and that Hightower and its affiliates managed approximately $350.3 billion in assets as of September 30, 2025.
