FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What services does Hightower Signature Wealth offer?

Hightower Signature Wealth offers a broad range of wealth management services, including investment management, financial planning, insurance and risk management, banking solutions, retirement planning, estate planning, and charitable giving strategies. Our integrated approach helps ensure that every aspect of your financial life works together to support your goals.

Why do I need a financial advisor?

As life becomes more complex, so do the financial decisions that come with it. A financial advisor can help you navigate major life events, answer important questions, and bring clarity to your financial picture. Through ongoing planning and regular portfolio reviews, an advisor can help you stay aligned with your goals and prepare for the future you envision for your family.

What should I bring to my first meeting?

Your first meeting is an opportunity for us to learn about your goals, priorities, and financial concerns you may have. To help us gain a clear understanding of your financial picture, we may ask you to bring documents related to your assets and investments, employee benefits, tax returns, liabilities, insurance policies, and estate planning documents. The more information you can share, the better we can tailor our guidance to your distinct needs and objectives.

What qualifications and credentials do financial advisors have?

Financial advisors may hold a variety of professional designations, including CFP®, CFA®, CPA, JD, CDFA®, CEPA®, AEP®, and EA credentials. These designations often require extensive education, industry experience, and ongoing continuing education to maintain.

While credentials are important, not all financial advisors are held to the same standard. Every advisor at Hightower Signature Wealth is a fiduciary, meaning we are legally obligated to act in our clients' interests and put their needs first.

How can Hightower Signature Wealth help me with tax planning?

We incorporate tax considerations into your broader financial plan and work alongside your tax professionals to identify planning opportunities. This may include Roth conversions, capital gains planning, tax-loss harvesting, retirement distribution strategies, stock option planning, charitable giving, and other approaches designed to improve tax efficiency and support your long-term goals.

How can Hightower Signature Wealth help with retirement planning?

Whether retirement is years away or just around the corner, we help you make informed decisions that align with your retirement goals. Our retirement planning process includes pre-retirement planning, retirement accumulation strategies, and retirement withdrawal planning, all designed to support the lifestyle you envision for yourself and your family. By creating a personalized plan and adjusting it as your needs evolve, we help you prepare for retirement with greater clarity and confidence.

Why do I choose Hightower Signature Wealth over other financial advisors?

We see wealth management as more than managing investments. By understanding what matters most to you, we help align your financial decisions with your goals, values, and aspirations for future generations.
