Prince Philipp discusses LGT?s Asian expansion

A: I come out at least twice a year, but this time I am here to oversee our new expansion plans. We have a very strong and profitable business in Asia and we believe that it's now time to expand our business in the region. The first step in this process has been to hire some more staff for our offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo. The next step is to increase our client base and to offer more services. Apart from pure private banking services, we want to offer portfolio management, accountancy services, trust and legal services and family office type services. We want to have a broader base.
