The very definition of the word frontier is the extreme limit of understanding or achievement in a particular area. As such, our mission at Frontier Investment Management has always been to empower clients with trusted advice, thoughtful solutions, and a deeply personal approach to wealth management. Today, we’re excited to announce our next chapter: Frontier is rebranding as Hightower Signature Wealth (HTSW)—joining Hightower’s first national direct-to-consumer advisory practice.
Why This Change Matters
When we joined Hightower in September of 2020, we sought a partner who could fuel our growth while honoring our identity. Hightower delivered—providing scale, collaboration, and unconflicted access to solutions that help us serve you better. Now, as the first practice to join the Signature Wealth brand, we’re amplifying our reach and delivering a more integrated client experience.
What Stays the Same
- Your Team: The advisors you know and trust remain dedicated to your financial well-being.
- Your Experience: Our approach to service, reporting, and fees is unchanged.
- Your Access: Our office locations and phone numbers stay the same. Email addresses will update to @htsw.com, but our Frontier emails will continue to work for the next year.
What’s New
HTSW unites practices under the Hightower brand, offering enhanced support in operations, marketing, technology, and investment management. This structure frees us to deepen our relationship with clients and their families, while benefiting from consistent standards, scalable infrastructure, and succession-ready career paths for the next generation.
Powered by Institutional Strength
The Signature Wealth investment platform is anchored by Stephanie Link, Hightower’s Chief Investment Strategist and CNBC contributor, and supported by an institutional-grade team led by Randy Bullard, Hightower’s Head of Investment Management, in partnership with NEPC. Following Hightower’s majority investment in NEPC, the platform now brings proprietary research, private markets access, and institutional-quality thought leadership to clients through an advisor-led experience.
Looking Ahead
We’re proud to be part of a nationwide Hightower advisor community, now spanning 34 states and the District of Columbia, with assets under management of approximately $324.3 billion as of June 30, 2025. We look forward to the expansion of the Signature Wealth footprint in the coming months with additional advisors joining the brand early in the new year.
Thank you for being part of our journey. If you have any questions about this transition, please reach out to your Frontier—now HTSW—advisor.
