"We are delighted to welcome Pamela and Dennis to HighTower," said Elliot S. Weissbluth, HighTower's CEO. "Their extensive backgrounds and sterling reputations represent the highest level of professionalism and care in our industry."

HighTower also announced the expansion of its capital markets, prime brokerage execution and research services to better support advisors acting as portfolio managers and traditional wealth managers.

"HighTower is committed to delivering the breadth of capabilities that advisors at major wirehouse firms are accustomed to, but in an Open Source model that provides greater autonomy and better serves end-client investors," said Michael LaMena, Chief Operations Officer of HighTower. Prior to joining HighTower, Mr. LaMena was the Executive Director of Private Wealth Management Operations at Morgan Stanley.

"It's a better solution for clients," Mr. Weissbluth said. "Investors benefit when firms compete for their business. It's an advantage of our Open Source model."

HighTower has deepened its capabilities through new strategic relationships with several industry-leading research providers. By providing expanded prime brokerage and middle-market capabilities, HighTower is reinforcing its commitment to supporting advisors who manage custom client portfolios.

"Our latest expansion of HOST, HighTower's multi-clearing and multi-custodial platform, delivers additional tools and resources needed for serving investors with highly personalized portfolio management based on their unique goals and needs," said Steve Billimack, Director of Research at HighTower. "Prime brokerage and middle market capabilities aren't available through standard RIA platforms, even those with open architecture. HighTower's HOST platform makes this possible."
