At the WealthBriefing Wealth for Good Awards 2026, held yesterday in London, LGT took first place in two categories: NextGen Support and Philanthropy Service Offering.
Now in their fifth year, the Wealth for Good Awards are hosted by WealthBriefing, a leading financial publication, and recognise excellence and innovation in the global wealth management industry. LGT impressed the jury once again this year with its holistic offering and proven expertise, and was recognised as the world’s leading provider in the NextGen Support and Philanthropy Service Offering categories.
The jury praised LGT’s commitment to the next generation of clients. "Thanks to LGT’s expertise and holistic support, the children of clients from more than 25 countries are learning to manage their wealth responsibly", it stated. The jury described this forward-looking strategy, which empowers young people and prepares them for their role as future wealth holders through innovative, global programmes, as "visionary".
Olivier de Perregaux, CEO LGT Private Banking, says: "Preserving wealth across generations and transferring it in a targeted way are among the most challenging and personal responsibilities facing families today. The fact that we have once again been recognised for excellence in this delicate area confirms our commitment to supporting our clients with foresight, discretion and a deep understanding of their individual needs."
LGT was also named the best private bank in the Philanthropy Service Offering category. "LGT is a pioneer in strategic philan-thropy and has established itself globally as a highly trusted partner to high-net-worth philanthropists", the WealthBriefing jury wrote in its report.
Silvia Bastante, Head of LGT Philanthropy Advisory, is delighted by the recognition: "An increasing number of families view the stewardship of their wealth as an expression of their values and sense of responsibility. We work closely with our clients to turn their philanthropic ambitions into long-term, impact-driven strategies - from clarifying their objectives and engaging the family to implementing and continuously evolving their commitment. The jury’s recognition of this approach confirms our ambition to be a holistic, long-term partner on this journey."
