Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at LGT Capital Partners?
CEO Roberto Paganoni oversees firmwide management, while dedicated investment committees and sector heads execute within private equity, credit, infrastructure, secondaries, and hedge fund strategies. The firm's chairman, Prince Maximilian of Liechtenstein, provides strategic oversight but does not manage day-to-day investment decisions.
Is LGT Capital Partners a single family office?
No. It is a regulated alternative-asset manager that invests capital for the Princely House of Liechtenstein alongside third-party institutional clients, including pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurers. The family's private wealth is also managed separately through LGT Bank.
How does LGT Capital Partners source deal flow?
Sourcing relies on long-standing GP relationships from two decades of primary fund commitments, a proprietary secondaries pipeline through the Crown Secondaries platform, and a dedicated co-investment network. European and North American teams maintain direct contact with sponsors, while Asian offices focus on regional fund commitments and co-investments.
Does LGT Capital Partners participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
The firm does both. The majority of deployment historically flows into primary private equity fund commitments, complemented by direct co-investments, secondaries, and hedge fund allocations. Private credit and infrastructure strategies also include direct and fund-level exposure.
Where does the underlying wealth come from?
The capital originates from the Princely House of Liechtenstein, one of Europe's oldest reigning dynasties, whose wealth was built over centuries through landholdings, banking, and investments. The family's LGT Group includes both the private bank and the asset-management firm.
What is the Crown Secondaries platform?
Crown Secondaries is LGT Capital Partners' dedicated secondaries strategy, executing LP-led portfolio acquisitions and GP-led continuation fund transactions globally. It is one of the largest secondaries programs led from Europe, targeting buyout, venture, and credit portfolios.
Is LGT Capital Partners related to LGT Bank?
Yes. LGT Capital Partners was spun out of LGT Bank in 1998 to manage alternative investments separately. Both entities remain part of the broader LGT Group, which is ultimately controlled by the Princely House of Liechtenstein through family holding structures.
