Hightower Wealth Advisors | St. Louis (HTSTL) is a high-net-worth wealth planning firm, with assets under management of approximately $1.2 billion. Our roots trace back to two trailblazing women who founded and led planning firms, roughly 30 and 40 years ago.
We are an established and successful financial advisory firm which is part of the larger Hightower network. Our firm is an ensemble, where team members collaborate as one on behalf of our clients. We truly believe our collaborative relationships and approach creates an outstanding result for every client we serve.

Make a plan. Make an investment. Make a difference.
