About LGT Group
Private banking and asset management group owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, with CHF 300+ billion under management and a focus on sustainable and impact investing.
Known For
- Wholly owned by the Princely House of Liechtenstein through the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation, with a single family as shareholder
- Private banking booked in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, the United Kingdom, Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and the Middle East
- Investment offer built around the Princely Portfolio, an endowment-style strategy that clients can co-invest in alongside the family
- Lightstone and LGT Venture Philanthropy give it a longer record in impact investing than most peers
Typical Mandate
Families and entrepreneurs, frequently from German-speaking Europe, the UK and Asia, seeking discretionary and advisory portfolio management, lending and multi-generational structuring from a bank not exposed to public shareholder pressure. Relationships tend to begin in the low millions of Swiss francs and extend to family-office scale. Foundations and philanthropic vehicles are a particular strength, as is co-investment with the owning family in private markets and hedge fund programmes.
How to Engage
LGT is approached either through a referral from a lawyer, trustee or existing client, or by direct contact with the booking centre relevant to the client's residence, listed on the group's website. A relationship manager will ask about the family's structure, asset base and objectives, and onboarding requires identification and source-of-wealth evidence. Clients in Liechtenstein benefit from EEA passporting and Swiss-style banking secrecy within current exchange-of-information rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who owns LGT?
LGT is owned entirely by the Princely House of Liechtenstein via the Prince of Liechtenstein Foundation. Prince Max von und zu Liechtenstein serves as chairman, and the family invests its own assets alongside client money, which is the basis of the group's co-investment message.
Is LGT a Swiss or a Liechtenstein bank?
LGT is headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, and is licensed there, but it also operates fully licensed banks in Switzerland and Austria and regulated entities in the UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and elsewhere. Clients can choose the booking jurisdiction that suits them.
Does LGT offer impact or sustainable investing?
Yes. LGT has run impact strategies since the late 2000s through LGT Venture Philanthropy and Lightstone, and offers sustainability-screened discretionary mandates. It is one of the few large private banks where impact investing has been a long-standing part of the core proposition rather than a recent addition.
