HighTower announces that Acacia Wealth Advisors, a boutique multi-family office in Los Angeles overseeing more than $500 million in assets, has joined the firm. Acacia co-founders Meloni Hallock and Alev Lewis will continue to lead the team as Managing Directors and Partners of Acacia Wealth Advisors at HighTower.

“Meloni and Alev bring to HighTower a distinguished RIA business with a long tradition of excellence,” said Elliot Weissbluth, Chief Executive Officer, HighTower. “Acacia Wealth Advisors exemplifies the caliber of business that we are thrilled to welcome to our community.”

Acacia Wealth Advisors marks HighTower’s 8th transition in 2016, a record-high number for the first half of any year in the firm’s history, and the 4th RIA acquisition since the firm launched that line of business last year.
