About LGT Wealth Management

 At LGT, we believe we have an obligation to make our own contribution toward a society worth living in. Our aim has always been to challenge convention where we believe it is the right thing to do and we are not afraid to make decisions that positively set us apart from the crowd. 

 Entrepreneurial  

When our business was founded in 2008, in the midst of the global financial crisis, many financial institutions had become increasingly disconnected from their clients. Our aim was to offer a fresh approach to wealth management. The plan was simple: place our clients at the heart of our business, providing them with a service designed around what is right for each of them.   

 Being family-owned, by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, means that we are one of the few global wealth management firms in private ownership. This enables us to build lasting relationships with our clients, making decisions for the long term.  

 We now have over 400 people working across our London, Edinburgh, Bristol and Jersey offices, with the majority working from our central London office.  

 Belonging 

Our culture is what sets us apart: we are a people business with a focus on ensuring our staff feel a genuine sense of belonging. There is more to the firm than financial success alone and we are passionate about making our people feel they are part of a family. Wealth management is about building lasting relationships and this starts internally. Our flat management structure and open-door policy, combined with a collaborative and inclusive approach, facilitates a community whereby innovation is encouraged and diversity is celebrated. 

 It is essential our people feel part of the team in whatever role they hold and a sense of belonging to the firm itself. Our staff wellbeing and diversity committees, Enrich and #included, strive to enhance this inclusive culture, looking at how we can enhance employees' professional and personal lives. Our culture of belonging reassures our clients that they are in safe hands, with a business that cares about them, and where all our staff are treated with respect, integrity and personal accountability.  

Diversity and Inclusion 

Our employee-led initiative, #included, is central to our mission to give all our people equal opportunities (and outcomes), to succeed both personally and professionally, and foster a culture where individuals are treated with respect and feel included. Through our initiatives, we aim to encourage diversity, maintain wellbeing, challenge perceptions and promote development.
