CHICAGO, Sept. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Barron's has ranked Hightower #2 on its 2021 list of the top 100 RIA firms in the United States, up from #3 in 2020.

Hightower recently announced that it has surpassed $100 billion in AUM, following strong organic and inorganic growth, and has 117 advisory businesses in 34 states and the District of Columbia. This year the company has announced six acquisitions while continuing to invest in operational, business development and value-added services, including the Investment Solutions Group and the nationally chartered Hightower Trust Company, set to launch in the coming months.

"A #2 ranking on the Barron's Top RIAs list is a testament to the hard work, dedication and entrepreneurial spirit of everyone at Hightower. From our advisors and client support teams to our corporate staff, the firm's laser focus on serving clients and accelerating growth is reflected in this honor," said Hightower Chairman and CEO Bob Oros. "I could not be prouder of my colleagues in the Hightower community for all you have accomplished. Congratulations on this well-deserved accolade."
