Company Profile

LGT Wealth Management is a UK-based firm founded in 2008 to provide an exceptional and transparent service to private clients, companies, charities, trusts and financial intermediaries.

Being part of LGT Group, the global private banking and asset manager owned by the Princely House of Liechtenstein, affords them the flexibility of a long-term outlook whilst staying true to their entrepreneurial approach. The partnership ethos of the business has allowed LGT to attract some of the best talent in the industry and draw together in-depth experience from multiple disciplines. A rigorous investment process means that LGT does not invest in anything that it does not believe in.

The firm operates a complete whole-of-market service with no product sales targets, meaning that it is able to make unbiased decisions, with advice aligned solely to the interests of its clients. LGT focuses on long-term thinking and places emphasis on understanding its clients and their investment requirements to build a bespoke portfolio for each individual. LGT provides a comprehensive range of investment management and wealth planning services to HNW individuals and corporates, family governance and succession services to entrepreneurial families, while their Private Office offers an outsourced private investment service to UHNW clients.
