CHICAGO, March 14, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The Otto Group, based in Sarasota, Fla., has joined HighTower from SunTrust. Under the leadership of Managing Director Matt Otto, the team manages $320 million in assets.
"After a year of remarkable HighTower growth in 2015, we continue to attract top-performing teams to our community," said Michael Parker, Chief Development Officer at HighTower. "Whether they come from wirehouse firms, regional firms or already-independent firms, HighTower offers elite advisor teams the flexibility to leverage our platform, brand, and culture in the way that best satisfies their clients' needs and supports their growth."
Mr. Otto has more than 20 years of experience as a financial advisor. The team focuses on comprehensive asset management as well as estate strategies for high-net-worth accredited investors.
