100 Years LGT
Glimpses into the Princely Collections
For more than four hundred years, the Princes of Liechtenstein have been passionate art collectors. The Princely Collections include key works of European art stretching over five centuries and are now among the world's major private art collections. At LGT, we make deliberate use of the works of art in the Princely Collections as imagery to accompany what we do. For us, they embody those values that form the basis for a successful partnership with our clients: a long-term focus, skill and individuality.
On 27 July 1700, Prince Johann Adam Andreas I purchased two paintings by Peter Paul Rubens from the jeweler and art dealer Marcus Forchondt. The photo is a detail from the contract of sale.

From a local bank to a global institution
It all started in 1921 with the founding of Bank in Liechtenstein, which had ten employees at the time. Today, the company, now LGT, operates internationally, has over 3700 staff, and is the world's largest private banking and asset management group, wholly owned and managed by a family of entrepreneurs. These are just a few of the most important milestones that LGT has reached in its first 100 years.

The early years of Bank in Liechtenstein shaped its current identity and laid the foundations for its future growth.
A glimpse into the past
BiL opened branches in central Europe, and soon also in the British Isles and the Far East. It was during this time that it developed into a commercial bank with an increasingly international focus – and received its current name.
Expansion out of Liechtenstein
Taking responsibility and committing to fellow human beings and the environment – LGT is convinced that everyone can make a contribution to a better future.
Working towards a sustainable future
"LGT is very well capitalized, internationally positioned and has a clear, long-term strategy. Thanks to the alignment of interests between the owner, clients and employees, we are able to work more sustainably than many of our competitors. Our values are enduring – this makes us unique in today's world."
H.S.H. Prinz Philipp von und zu Liechtenstein, Honorary Chairman LGT
