HighTower Advisors Portfolio holdings
Hightower Advisors is a wealth management firm that serves clients through a network of advisor practices, each with its own focus and strategy. It was co-founded by Elliot Weissbluth, a former president of U.S. Fiduciary Services, and three partners, for brokerage advisors who wanted to go independent while keeping the support of a big firm. By 2013 it had moved away from its original partnership model toward an outsourced platform for advisors and had begun buying advisory firms outright. Funds run by Thomas H. Lee Partners hold a controlling stake in Hightower, which serves individuals and institutions, including pension plans.
