LGT once again delivered an outstanding result in this year’s quality assessment conducted by the respected independent assessment body FUCHS | RICHTER. Both LGT Bank Liechtenstein and LGT’s subsidiary in Germany secured a top-ten position among the 70 banks and wealth managers evaluated.
Wealth management is a highly specialised field that requires long-standing expertise and in-depth knowledge, as well as a thorough understanding of investors’ needs, risk appetite and objectives. How consistently do banks deliver on the promises they make? Which providers follow a truly systematic approach? And how clearly, plausibly and transparently do they present their investment proposals? These were some of the key questions explored in this year’s "TOPS 2026" quality assessment conducted by the respected independent assessment body FUCHS | RICHTER. For its rankings, FUCHS | RICHTER evaluated seventy providers from Germany, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, Luxembourg and the Netherlands using clearly defined criteria.
This year marks the first time that LGT’s subsidiary in Germany and LGT Bank Liechtenstein were evaluated separately – and both achieved outstanding results. LGT’s German subsidiary received a "Gold" distinction. With 84.3 out of 100 points, it ranked first among all providers in Germany and third among all institutions assessed. In their report, the evaluators wrote: "The bank is a benchmark in investment expertise. Overall, it stands out for its analytical depth and consistent execution, which is ideal for investors who expect robust strategies underpinned by strong research."
LGT Bank Liechtenstein also ranked among the top ten and was awarded a "Silver" distinction. The client advisory discussion was identified as one of its key strengths. LGT Bank Liechtenstein also achieved a strong result in the "perpetual best list", which tracks the long-term performance of wealth managers, securing sixth place and establishing itself as the number one institution in Liechtenstein. The evaluators concluded: "The private bank’s performance has been stable over the entire period. Its combination of international expertise and family ownership is a model that evidently delivers over the long term."
Roland Matt, CEO LGT Private Banking Europe, says: "We are delighted to have once again received such a positive assessment from independent experts. It reinforces our commitment to being a reliable and competent partner for our clients. This recognition reflects the high quality of our advisory services and offering, and motivates our team to continue meeting even the most exacting demands in the future."
