Hightower Expands the Hightower Family Office for Ultra-High-Net-Worth Families

CHICAGO — June 9, 2026 — Hightower Advisors today announced the expansion of the Hightower Family Office, broadening the capabilities and support available to ultra-high-net-worth clients through Hightower advisors.

The expanded offering brings together institutional investment consulting, advanced planning, family governance, tax and estate strategy, and business advisory services to help advisors address the increasingly sophisticated needs of wealthy individuals and families.

The expansion builds on Hightower’s strategic relationship with NEPC following Hightower’s 2024 investment in the institutional investment consulting firm. NEPC advises on more than $1.5 trillion in client assets across endowments, foundations, pensions, healthcare systems, family offices, and other institutional investors.

Hightower is also expanding access to specialized planning and advisory services through its strategic relationship with GTBA, a Los Angeles-based business management and family office firm serving ultra-high-net-worth individuals, executives, entrepreneurs, and entertainment industry clients.

Together, these relationships strengthen Hightower’s ability to support advisors serving clients with increasingly complex financial lives. Through the Hightower Family Office, advisors can access institutional investment consulting, advanced planning, family governance support, tax and estate coordination, business advisory services, and institutional-style investment oversight within a unified framework.

“As client needs continue to evolve, advisors increasingly need access to deeper insights and broader resources,” said Larry Restieri, Chief Executive Officer of Hightower. “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. By bringing together institutional investment consulting, advanced planning, and family office support, we are enabling advisors to deliver a more seamless experience for clients navigating increasingly complex financial, business, and legacy planning decisions.”

The Hightower Family Office supports advisors serving entrepreneurs, executives, business owners, and multi-generational families with needs that extend beyond traditional wealth management.

“As families become more complex, they increasingly expect their advisors to help coordinate across investments, estate planning, tax strategy, philanthropy, and family dynamics,” said Richard Saperstein, Managing Director of Treasury Partners and an early adopter of the Hightower Family Office services. “The Hightower Family Office helps bring those capabilities together in a more coordinated way, allowing advisors to deliver a more comprehensive experience for clients and their families.”

“Many advisors serve clients whose needs extend far beyond traditional wealth management,” said Cy Cattan, President of Presidio Wealth Partners. “The Hightower Family Office gives us access to specialized knowledge and institutional-level resources that can be brought in when needed, helping us stay focused on the client relationship while delivering solutions to increasingly complex challenges.”
