Investment advisory Individual advice for high-net-worth clients

Our investment advisory service is the ideal choice for investors who prefer to make their own decisions. We give you access to the wide-ranging experience and the expertise of our investment specialists and advisors, which you can use as a basis for your investment decisions.

How we identify investment opportunities for your portfolio

Want to make quick, well-informed investment decisions? Our investment advisory services enable you to do precisely that with the support of experienced relationship managers and investment specialists. We provide you with proactive investment ideas and proposals to help you make your decisions quickly and efficiently. We also offer you regular and transparent updates on all portfolio, performance and sustainability aspects of your investments.

We focus on you Making informed investment decisions

Our investment advisory service gives you three different advisory models to choose from. This allows you to decide just how active you want to be in managing your portfolio and whether you would like to consult an investment expert.

We tailor our advice to your desires, target our recommendations based on your investment strategy and inform you when we find investment opportunities that are suitable for you. We review your portfolio regularly in connection with the investment risks taken and for compliance with your investor profile.

We chose wisely The basis for successful investment advice

Our investment experts identify the most attractive investment opportunities for you, making sure they align with your goals, your values and your risk tolerance. This puts our full range of portfolio advisory services at your fingertips.

The investment opportunities that are open to you span a wide range of asset classes and regions. You also have access to a comprehensive range of investment instruments - in both traditional and private markets.

We think ahead Investment decisions that factor in the future

In addition to traditional financial aspects, we also incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects into our investment decisions. We do this out of conviction - because we believe that factoring sustainability criteria into our process for selecting and managing investments has a positive impact not only on people and the environment, but also on returns.

We take your sustainability preferences into account when we customize your investment universe, for example, by avoiding investments with a significantly negative impact, integrating sustainability criteria or focusing on specific sustainability topics such as water or the circular economy.

Three advisory models The right investment advice for your needs

We tailor our investment advice to you and your needs. You have three different models to choose from, depending on how active you want to be in managing your assets and what kind of advice you are looking for. As your sparring partner, we provide you with personalized advice, develop your investment strategy with you, monitor your portfolio and recommend the most promising investments.

Investment advisory with relationship managers

This model is a good choice if you want to construct your portfolio around funds rather than individual securities and therefore tend to do fewer transactions. Your personal relationship manager will guide you through the process, keeping a close eye on your portfolio, drawing on the research of our investment experts and making suitable buy or sell recommendations.

Investment advisory with investment experts

This is the right model for you if you actively manage your assets with an individual structure and with individual securities, and would like to discuss your investment decisions with one of our investment experts. This includes ESG advice, forex strategies, structured products and private equity investments.

This model is designed for clients who prefer to make their own investment decisions, have portfolios with complex structures requiring active management and want to take advantage of short-term investment opportunities across the entire investment spectrum by engaging in regular trading. You can enlist the expertise of our research specialists and discuss your personal trading ideas with us.

Advisory solutions for sustainability preferences

Investors have different sustainability preferences, which is why LGT has developed four sustainability profiles. Each adheres to a selection of ESG criteria that take these varying sustainability requirements into account:

Traditional: Sustainability has a subordinate role for you. Your investment decisions are mainly driven by financial criteria.
Basic: In addition to financial criteria, you also include sustainability criteria in your investment decisions. Investments with a low sustainability quality are excluded from your portfolio.
Enhanced: You consider high sustainability criteria when selecting instruments. Your portfolio investments support sustainable development.
Enhanced Plus: Your sustainability criteria for your investments are very high. Your portfolio has a strong bias towards investments that make a positive contribution to society and the environment.

Our experts use the following instruments to make your assets more sustainable:

Exclusions: We completely avoid investing in companies with activities relating to thermal coal or controversial weapon, due to their incompatibility with our own sustainability goals. We apply additional product- and conduct-based exclusion for companies and exclude certain countries, as defined by your sustainability profile.
ESG integration: Our portfolio advisory solutions avoid one-star instruments, primarily favoring two-star and above rated assets. Enhanced and Enhanced Plus profiles prioritize investments based on sustainable business operations and sustainable products and services, consisting mainly of four- and five-star rated instruments.
Thematic Focus: We have a selection of thematic investments that capture global developments and megatrends. With thematic investments, clients can seize opportunities arising from societal challenges and integrate their personal sustainability conviction into their portfolio.

Portfolio management or investment advisory?

How much time are you willing or able to spend on your portfolio? How hands-on do you want to be with your assets? How you answer these questions will determine whether our portfolio management or investment advisory services could be the right choice for you. While these two approaches have certain aspects in common, they also have some important differences:

Portfolio management

You can define your investment strategy with your relationship manager
We invest your assets based on the agreed investment strategy
We monitor your portfolio on an ongoing basis and keep you up to date on developments
Your involvement with your portfolio and investments is minimal

Portfolio management

Investment advisory

You can define your investment strategy with your relationship manager
We make investment proposals that match your strategy – you decide which ones are implemented
We monitor your portfolio regularly and keep you up to date on developments
You take an active interest in your portfolio and investments

Capital expenditure (CapEx) on long‑term assets like buildings, machinery, vehicles, and technology has been strong for AI-linked investments. But are there CapEx opportunities beyond AI?

When new technologies emerge, euphoria and disappointment are never far behind. The success of an innovative technology is rarely predictable. What can investors do to manage risk while still participating in the success of genuine innovation?

Rapid adoption of new technologies sees China economically leapfrogging its competitors worldwide, while US tariffs have created headwinds for its much-lauded integrated supply chain.

Trade friction and an extended government shutdown have skewed recent economic data. But next year, as tariff turbulence subsides, investment broadens and monetary policy eases, real GDP growth could accelerate, signalling the start of a new business cycle.

After several years battling headwinds in the form of low growth and inflation, amplified this year by US trade tariffs and a strengthening euro, the Eurozone enters 2026 with more stable economic prospects, thanks to a resilient labour market, lower interest rates and increased fiscal spending.

Safeguarding water resources is essential not only for life, but for economic security, societal well-being, and ecological stability. Industry and governments are responding to growing water insecurity with innovative solutions.

With data centres popping up everywhere and AI evolving rapidly, the future looks bright for both those companies enabling AI today and those integrating the technology in the future.

Once laughed at, cryptocurrencies have now become part of the investment toolkit. Is this the moment for even the most sceptical investor to take a new look at digital assets?
