LGT Wealth Management

What LGT Wealth Management does

LGT Wealth Management is a UK-based wealth management firm serving high-net-worth individuals, families, charities, financial advisers, and institutional clients. Established as a standalone entity in 2013 with Ben Snee as founding CEO (succeeded by Heinrich Henckel in January 2026), the firm operates as a subsidiary of LGT Group (Lichtensteinische Landesbank), which is owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. The firm employs 251–500 people across offices in London (headquarters), Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, and Jersey, and expanded materially in 2023 through the acquisition of abrdn Capital's discretionary investment management business, which added offices and investment professionals in Birmingham, Bristol and beyond.

The firm's core product offering spans bespoke portfolio management, sustainable/ESG investing, alternative investments, wealth planning, family governance, philanthropy advisory, private office services for UHNW families, and dedicated international services for US-connected clients. Investment infrastructure is built on Bloomberg's integrated buy-side solutions (AIM for order and investment management, PORT Enterprise for performance attribution and risk analysis, BTCA for transaction cost analysis, RHUB for MiFID II reporting) and Addepar's data and AI platform, deployed UK-wide from 25 March 2026 to support multi-currency portfolio management, cross-border investments, and consolidated client reporting. Specialist capabilities include a Charities Team managing approximately GBP 1.5bn, an Institutional team managing just under GBP 1bn across roughly 60 relationships, and an exclusive IFSL CAF ESG Fund Range co-managed with the Charities Aid Foundation.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring management and advisory fees on assets under management across discretionary and advisory mandates for private clients, charities, IFAs, institutional clients, and US-connected clients. Distribution is delivered through a field-based enterprise sales model: dedicated relationship managers, investment managers, and wealth planners develop long-term direct advisory relationships across the firm's UK offices, supplemented by an intermediary investment service for financial advisers and specialist US cross-border coverage via a US subsidiary.
