Hightower has unveiled Hightower Signature Wealth, a new national direct-to-consumer advisory practice marking the firm's next phase of strategic growth under CEO Larry Restieri.

As reported by InvestmentNews, the first firm to operate under the Signature Wealth umbrella is Frontier Investment Management, a Dallas-based RIA managing $3.3 billion, which Hightower acquired in 2020. Frontier has rebranded as Hightower Signature Wealth, consolidating marketing, operations, technology, and investment management functions.

According to InvestmentNews, industry observers see Hightower's move as part of a broader private-equity-driven trend toward brand consolidation and operational integration. Several additional firms are expected to join Hightower Signature Wealth by early 2026, signaling that the firm's growth strategy now combines scale with strategic unification.
