Core competence: manager selection

324_ManagerSelection_de

Your access to outstanding investment experts worldwide

We concentrate our resources strategically on the core areas in which we are successful. Given our specialisation in a few asset classes, a large part of the investment universe is delegated to external managers. Their modules are used in the Princely Portfolio and the portfolios of our clients.

The selection of various different managers ultimately amounts to a diversification across several investment styles. Our processes enable us to select excellent external specialists worldwide and to continually monitor them. We can thus offer you as our client access to high-quality investment expertise. In addition to this, we also deliberately create a competitive situation for our own portfolio management.

The key elements of our manager selection process are:

  • Specialisation: nobody can be a specialist in all markets; increasingly more complex and dynamic markets call for specific expertise
  • Best in class: the greatest possible flexibility and access to promising asset managers worldwide
  • Expertise: partnership-based exchanges with the external investment experts
  • Competition: independence in the awarding of mandates creates healthy competition between the LGT internal and external managers
  • Cost-efficiency: our multi-manager products do not hold any funds, and instead hold segregated mandates on the basis of asset management agreements. This enables us to negotiate fees on an individual and cost-effective basis

Thanks to our network and our expertise, we also have access to certain high-quality specialists, to whom you would often be unable to get direct access.
