LGT received multiple awards at the Euromoney Global Private Banking Awards 2025. The accolades include Best Pure Play/Boutique Private Bank worldwide and Best for Sustainability worldwide. At the regional and national level, LGT impressed the judges with its alternative investment and philanthropic advisory offerings.
Euromoney's Global Private Banking Awards 2025 were held yesterday in London. For over 20 years, the leading business and finance magazine has reviewed and ranked the world's top private banking and wealth management firms based on their client service, product development and innovation. This year, LGT enjoyed another outstanding performance, taking home a total of 12 awards.
In the Best Pure Play/Boutique Private Bank category, LGT secured first place globally, as well as for Western Europe, Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Austria. "LGT Private Banking's offering is characterised by two constants: excellent advice and excellent services", the judges stated in their report. "Our clients are extremely well informed, experienced and successful, which makes it even more important to listen carefully, understand their goals and develop tailored, compelling solutions. It can be demanding to consistently deliver this on a daily basis – but in my view, it's essential if we want to maintain our status as an outstanding private bank over the long term", says Olivier de Perregaux, CEO LGT Private Banking.
LGT also earned the title of Best for Sustainability globally, as well as for Liechtenstein and Western Europe. The Euromoney judges were impressed by LGT's holistic commitment and comprehensive sustainability offering. "At a time when many financial institutions are adding sustainable solutions to their product range, LGT distinguishes itself by fully integrating sustainability into its core offering – not just treating it as an optional extra", the judges commented. "Our owner, the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, has long been committed to sustainable thinking and actions. LGT stays true to that commitment out of conviction – because it is a core part of our long-term approach, not because it’s the latest trend", says Christopher Greenwald, Head Sustainable Investing Europe at LGT. Ursula Finsterwald, Head Group Sustainability Management adds: "It is very important to us to continue expanding our range of innovative sustainable solutions for our clients. Naturally, we also want to make a positive contribution to society and the environment as a company, and are therefore pursuing an ambitious sustainability strategy. We are delighted that the judges have recognised our efforts."
LGT's expertise in alternative investments was also acknowledged, with the company receiving the Best for Alternative Investments award for both Western Europe and Liechtenstein. Reto Stohler, Head Portfolio Advisory Europe, says: "LGT has decades of experience in alternative investments. A key reason for this is that our owner family began investing its own assets in alternative investments such as private equity and private debt early on. Our success is testament to this long-standing expertise and the strong relationships we have built with our clients in this dynamic investment segment."
LGT also received awards for its philanthropy advisory services in Switzerland and India. The Princely Family of Liechtenstein has been committed to philanthropy for generations, and is passionate about sharing this expertise with the bank's clients. LGT's global Philanthropy Advisory Team offers targeted support in this area. It helps clients navigate the complex landscape of strategic and impact-focused philanthropy, and develop their own philanthropic journey through expert advice and optimised implementation.
