CAIA®
Wealth Advisor, Managing Director
Steven Billimack is a Managing Director at Hightower Signature Wealth (formally Hightower Greatlakes). With more than 30 years of financial services experience, Steve specializes in guiding clients to help them achieve their long-term financial goals.
Prior to joining Hightower Signature Wealth as the very first advisor partner in 2008, Steve managed a fee-based investment advisory practice as a Senior Managing Director with U.S. Fiduciary (USF). He also served as the President of West Hills Asset Management, directing both the asset management practice and the institutional research practice supporting outside CPAs, banks and brokerage firms. Steve’s passion for independent research has enabled him to hold additional positions in the past, such as Director of Research and Chairman of the Investment Committee, at both USF and Hightower.
Steve earned his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance from Loyola University of Chicago and Master of Business Administration degree in Finance from DePaul University. He also holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst® (CAIA®) designation, which focuses on non-traditional investment offerings.
Steve, his wife, Vicki, and their two adult children support several charities ranging from religious to healthcare, as well as education and the arts. When not avidly following his children’s and grandchildren’s pursuits, Steve competes with his German Shepherds in IGP focused on tracking, obedience and protection, training his pointing dogs for annual trips to Kansas, and, his more recent pursuit, training their draft horses to ride and drive.
