Founded in 1920, the group operates more than 40 locations across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific, offering wealth management, portfolio management, sustainable investment, and family wealth planning services to high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. Core product offerings include the LGT Private Banking service suite, the proprietary LGT SmartBanking and SmartBanking Pro digital platforms for clients and financial intermediaries, two licensed fund vehicles (LGT Fund Management Company and LGT PB Fund Solutions managing UCITS and alternative investment funds), and a research/content franchise built around LGT Navigator, LGT House View, Insights, and AI-assisted Market View articles.

The group serves HNWI, UHNWI, entrepreneurs, family offices, and next-generation wealth clients, with a strong sustainability/ESG orientation anchored by an in-house LGT Sustainability Rating. Ownership remains entirely private and concentrated within the royal family structure; there is no public listing, external institutional shareholders, or funding rounds, and revenue/AUM figures are not publicly disclosed beyond qualitative statements of profit growth in 2026.
