2024 Forbes Best-In-State Next-Gen Wealth Advisors – Zach Ungerott
By Darrell Grant on August 13, 2025
Please join us in congratulating Zach Ungerott, who keeps advancing on the Forbes Advisor Top Next-Gen Wealth Advisors Best-in-State list. This fourth year of recognition sees Zach in the Missouri #11 spot, an advance of three places on last year’s list!
Additionally, Zach was promoted to Partner this year!
Zach’s journey—from his hire in 2017 to a trusted advisor helping to oversee more than half a billion dollars in client assets—has been nothing short of extraordinary. He’s helped lead our clients through market uncertainty and embraced the service-driven legacy modeled by our recently retired co-founder, Barbara Archer. His promotion is both a personal milestone and a testament to the strength and depth of our bench.
Beyond his professional commitments, Zach serves on the Planned Giving Committee of the Saint Louis Zoo. He and his family are long-time supporters of Connor’s Cause and active in their local parish. These extracurricular activities are considered by Forbes in the ranking process.
“This recognition is a testament to the talent, dedication, and forward-thinking spirit that define Hightower,” said Larry Restieri, Hightower CEO, of Hightower Advisors recognized this year. “As Hightower continues to grow and evolve, it’s leaders like them who are shaping the future of our firm and exemplifying the culture of excellence that drives us forward.”
Advisors included on this list were vetted by both Forbes and SHOOK Research. SHOOK considered advisors born in 1986 or later with a minimum of four years as an advisor. Advisors have built their own practices and lead their teams; joined teams and are viewed as future leadership; or a combination of both. Investment performance is not a criterion because client objectives and risk tolerances vary, and advisors rarely have audited performance reports. SHOOK’s research and rankings provide opinions intended to help investors choose the right financial advisor and are not indicative of future performance or representative of any one client’s experience. Past performance is not an indication of future results. Neither Forbes nor SHOOK Research receive compensation in exchange for placement on the ranking.
