Hightower Advisors announced the expansion of the Hightower Family Office, broadening the range of services available to ultra-high-net-worth individuals and families through Hightower advisors.
The enhanced offering combines institutional investment consulting, advanced planning, family governance, tax and estate strategy, and business advisory services to help advisors address the increasingly complex needs of affluent clients. The platform is designed to support entrepreneurs, executives, business owners, and multi-generational families whose financial requirements extend beyond traditional wealth management.
The expansion builds on Hightower’s strategic relationship with institutional investment consulting firm NEPC, following Hightower’s investment in the company in 2024. NEPC advises on more than $1.5 trillion in client assets across a broad range of institutional investors, including endowments, foundations, pensions, healthcare systems, and family offices.
Hightower is also broadening access to specialized planning and advisory services through its strategic relationship with GTBA, a Los Angeles-based business management and family office firm that serves ultra-high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs, executives, and clients in the entertainment industry.
Through the Hightower Family Office, advisors can access institutional-style investment oversight, advanced planning capabilities, family governance support, tax and estate coordination, and business advisory services within a unified framework. The company said the initiative is intended to help advisors deliver more comprehensive and coordinated solutions while maintaining their central role in client relationships.
