Hightower Advisors today announced that Clarity Point Financial Partners (“Clarity Point”), an established Hightower practice based in Marlton, New Jersey, will join Hightower Signature Wealth (“HTSW”). The addition will bring approximately $380M* to HTSW and deepen its presence in Southern New Jersey.
Led by Managing Directors and Partners Jim Ewing and Michael Cona, Clarity Point provides financial planning and investment management to professionals, multigenerational families, executives and business owners. The team, which first joined Hightower in 2017, also advises employers and their participants on their retirement plans.
“Jim, Mike and their team have built lasting relationships by helping families and business owners navigate important financial decisions,” said Jennifer Frazier, President of Hightower Signature Wealth. “We look forward to building on that work by giving their advisors access to specialists and investment resources from across HTSW.”
HTSW pairs advice from local teams with centralized investment, operations, technology, compliance, marketing and client service resources. Clarity Point’s advisors will continue to serve their clients and will have access to a broader range of investment capabilities and support for the day-to-day work of running the practice.
“We joined Hightower nearly ten years ago, drawn to the power of the partnership and the client-first philosophy of a firm built on the fiduciary standard of care,” said Jim Ewing, Managing Director and Partner of Clarity Point Financial Partners. “Joining HTSW continues our evolution by giving us even more resources to help serve our clients each day.”
“Our planning process brings together a client’s investments, retirement goals and decisions they’re making with their tax and legal advisors,” said Michael Cona, Managing Director and Partner of Clarity Point Financial Partners. “Having more investment and operational support will help us to more proactively advise and implement recommendations as clients’ lives evolve over time.”
The transition is expected to take effect today. Following the addition, HTSW will have approximately $50B* in AUM, 170+ advisors and 47 locations nationwide.
*AUM as of September 30, 2026.
