LGT, the international Private Banking and Asset Management group owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, in 2024 once again received several awards from the business and finance magazine Euromoney. At the global level, it was designated “World's Best for Family Office Services”. In addition, LGT scored top marks for its sustainability offering in Liechtenstein and India.
For two decades now, the highly regarded business and financial magazine Euromoney has been recognising the achievements of the world’s best private banking and wealth management institutions at its Global Private Banking Awards. The award winners are selected by independent judges, who assess the performance and achievements of the participating companies as they relate to customer service, product development and innovation. This year’s awards ceremony was held yesterday in London. LGT was the recipient of seven awards.
Bespoke solutions for family offices
The judges were very impressed by LGT’s tailored and comprehensive offering for family offices, designating it best private bank globally and in Western Europe in the family office services category. “LGT places a strong emphasis on governance and connecting representatives of Family Offices. It has a unique selling proposition, coupled with a personalised, human-centred and long-term approach,” stated the judges.

In India, where it has been present since 2022, LGT received the award for best private bank for sustainability. In its report, the jury wrote: “Alongside its own efforts to ensure its business and operations are sustainable, the firm offers clients an extensive range of sustainable investment funds, sustainability ratings and more specialist investment opportunities such as impact investing in India.” Atul Singh, CEO LGT Wealth India, says: “This prestigious award is acknowledgement of our unwavering commitment to excellence and sustainability.
