Matthew J. Dillig, as Chief Investment Officer of his team at Hightower Advisors, directs the investment strategy for their ~40 clients. His focus is to help craft an appropriate investment policy, a long-term strategic asset allocation plan, whilst considering shorter-term tactical opportunities and risks. He also spends a good deal of time on security selection and valuation. All of this is done within the context of a client’s personal financial goals, tax and estate plan and philosophical views on investing and social impact.
Matt spent the first ten years of his career working in the Private Banking and Investment Group at Merrill Lynch. In 2008, Matt and his team joined Credit Suisse where they spent over four years before departing in 2012 to help start the Chicago-based independent firm, Hightower Advisors. Matt and his team have been ranked as one of the top financial advisory groups in the country by both Barron’s and Forbes since 2017.
Matt grew up in a family of seven children in the Milwaukee area. He attended Marquette University High School, followed by the University of Wisconsin, where he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Consumer Finance.
When not working, Matt loves to ski, plays sports, exercise and coach.
He and his wife, Dr. Gina Dillig, have five children and reside in Winnetka, IL.
