Additionally, it received a "Highly Commended" nod in the "Best Private Bank for Alternatives" category.

Acknowledging Next Generation Wealth Transfer

LGT's selection as the best private bank for the next generation highlights its dedication to addressing the impending transfer of wealth that is expected to unfold on an unprecedented scale over the next decade.

He emphasized LGT's commitment to supporting next-generation clients with tailored solutions and deep expertise.

The selection panel, composed of over 20 industry experts from Europe, Asia, and North America, commended LGT’s specialized knowledge and clear commitment to this critical theme of wealth transfer. Yuri Bender, the editor of PWM and a judge, noted that LGT demonstrates a strong understanding of the challenges and opportunities arising from asset transfer and focuses on developing services tailored for the next generation.

Leading in Sustainable Investing

In a climate-conscious world, LGT's recognition as the "Best Private Bank for Impact and Sustainable Investing" signifies its robust approach to decarbonizing portfolios. Bender highlighted this commitment, applauding LGT for connecting clients with thought leaders in climate change to facilitate direct exchanges of insights and trends.

Patrick Huber, responsible for Business Development & Transformation Investment Solutions at LGT, reinforced that the firm views sustainable investing not just as a fleeting trend but as a strategic pillar vital for long-term business development. He added that a significant number of clients, particularly younger generations, seek to understand the impact of their investments on urgent issues like climate change and aspire to contribute positively toward meaningful solutions.
