Who We Are

Founded by Matt Otto, CFP, AIF, over 25 years ago, The Otto Group joined Hightower Advisors in 2016. The partnership enabled our firm to provide a broad range of investment and wealth management services to our select group of clients, while acting as a true fiduciary. We believe that operating within a model focused on service rather than sales results in a boutique, personalized wealth management approach, while providing sophisticated investment products and solutions. Strategically positioned, Hightower Advisors has access to institutional-grade investment solutions and resources, thus are less restricted than most advisors and large brokerage firms. Our licensed professionals customize investment and planning solutions as they guide clients on their roadmap to financial wellness.
