Why it is here
Euromoney’s 2023 Europe FO services write-up framed LGT as needing a family office to know what a family office needs. Euromoney Private Banking Awards 2025 and 2026 both name LGT world’s best pure-play/boutique private bank. PWM/The Banker GPBA 2025 awarded Best for Impact & Sustainable Investing and Best for Next Generation. Ownership by the Princely House of Liechtenstein is the clearest FO-DNA signalling in the Europe shortlist.
Who it is for
UHNW families who want boutique Swiss/Liechtenstein discretion with genuine family-office ownership alignment and impact/next-gen depth.
