Overview of companies with advantages and deployment options

LGT's fiduciary experts primarily employ companies and other legal entities as a means of ensuring succession planning and asset protection. Transferring part of your wealth to an independent company or other legal entity not only limits risk, it also offers an opportunity to ensure that suitable succession and asset protection arrangements are in place.
