As announced on 28th February 2023, and subject to regulatory approval, LGT, the international private banking and asset management group owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, will acquire the bespoke (core) business of abrdn Capital Limited, its Discretionary fund management business, later in the year.

We will become part of the UK business – LGT Wealth Management, who already employ 475 people and successfully manage circa £22bn for private clients, companies, charities and trusts.
