Most often reported for investment advisory and management
Form 5500 information is as filed by the plan administrator with the Department of Labor and may be amended. Figures reflect the plan year shown, not current balances. Schedule C lists only providers a plan paid $5,000 or more, and is filed only by plans with 100 or more participants.
Hightower Advisors LLC is named as a service provider on the Schedule C of 71 retirement plans with 100 or more participants for plan year 2024, covering 132,916 participant records. Most often it is reported for investment advisory and management.
Reported compensation from those plans, direct and indirect, totalled $3.1M. Per plan, the median was $71.32 per participant, with the middle half of plans between $28.95 and $134. These are amounts plans reported paying this organisation, not a price list: they depend on which services each plan buys and on how much is paid through fund expenses instead.
Its client plans are most numerous in New York (13), California (13) and Texas (7).
In 2013 it appeared on 5 such filings; in 2024, 77. Yearly counts include every filing that names it, so they can run slightly above the number of plans with pages here, and name or EIN changes after mergers can break the series.
