Our Leaders Are Also Owners

Aligning the business interests of all parties extends to HighTower’s executives, advisors and board of directors. All are equity owners in the business, along with our financial advisors. Ownership by advisors, managers and board members is an important part of what makes HighTower different from today's Wall Street firms. Together, the people who operate HighTower and the advisors who work with clients own the majority stake of the company.
