RIA Hightower says it has taken a “significant” equity stake in Hart Financial Group, an $800 million financial advisory firm in Austin, Texas, that has five advisors.
Hightower, which declined to state how much it paid or exactly what percentage of Hart it now owns as part of the transaction, said the deal closed Friday.
This deal is Hightower’s eighth transaction so far this year, following the stake it took in Argent Wealth Management in August. Including Hart, Hightower now has 113 advisory businesses in 33 states, it says.
