Hightower Advisors Selects Dispatch to Power Hightower Signature Wealth

Data orchestration platform to manage the client lifecycle as Hightower unifies advisory practices under a single national brand

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dispatch, the data infrastructure platform that enables the wealth industry to run revenue-critical workflows, today announced that Hightower Advisors (“Hightower”), has selected Dispatch to provide client data infrastructure for Hightower Signature Wealth. Dispatch will orchestrate the movement, validation, and synchronization of client data across custodians and advisory systems as Hightower brings advisors into its national Hightower Signature Wealth practice and manages client relationships on an ongoing basis.

Hightower Signature Wealth is Hightower’s national advisory practice, launched in late 2025 as part of a broader industry trend in which leading registered investment advisor (“RIA”) firms are unifying independent practices under a single brand to deliver a more consistent client experience, expand centralized capabilities, and position for long-term growth. Since launch, more than 100 advisors have joined the platform, which now represents more than $35 billion in assets under management across more than 30 locations. Hightower expects more to join in the second half of 2026.

“Ultimately, this is about making it easier for our advisors to deliver a great experience to their clients,” said Larry Restieri, chief executive officer of Hightower. “Dispatch provides the data infrastructure that keeps client information accurate and synchronized across the systems that support the relationship, reducing operational friction for advisors and creating a more seamless experience for clients over time.”

As consolidation continues across wealth management, large RIAs are inheriting increasingly complex combinations of custodians, tech stacks and operating processes. Shifting these businesses into unified practices requires infrastructure that can standardize data and orchestrate workflows across systems without requiring every practice to operate on an identical technology stack.

“The first phase of RIA aggregation was about bringing firms together. The next is about actually unifying them,” said Rob Nance, co-founder and chief executive officer of Dispatch. “As aggregators move from collections of independent practices to integrated national practices, they need infrastructure that can standardize client data and workflows across custodians, CRMs, and the rest of the tech stack. That is the layer Dispatch provides.”

Hightower Signature Wealth is already using Dispatch to manage client data workflows across its Fidelity and Schwab custodial relationships. Dispatch ingests client data, validates it against custodial and compliance requirements, and keeps it synchronized across Hightower's technology stack. Human-in-the-loop controls ensure nothing goes out without approval.

Hightower advisors and their clients benefit from more accurate client records, fewer form rejections and quicker account funding timelines. No separate logins or portals are required, as Dispatch connects directly to Hightower's existing custodial relationships and operations infrastructure.
