Today, the firm invests across private markets, multi-alternatives and diversifying strategies, complemented by sustainable and impact strategies.

H.S.H. Prince Max von und zu Liechtenstein, Chairman of LGT Capital Partners, said: “The Princely Family’s long-term ownership of the firm allows us to take a far-sighted approach to its direction and leadership. For almost 30 years, Roberto has shaped the firm’s development, building it into a resilient global investment manager with a clear strategy and strong culture. We are deeply grateful for his exceptional leadership and commitment. Sascha shares the principles that have guided the firm from the beginning, and I am convinced that he will successfully lead LGT Capital Partners while bringing his own perspective to shape its future direction.”

Roberto Paganoni said: “It has been a privilege to lead LGT Capital Partners and to drive its development together with many talented colleagues, loyal clients and trusted partners. Sascha has contributed substantially to the firm’s growth over more than two decades and understands our business and culture exceptionally well. I have every confidence in him and the broader management team and I look forward to supporting the firm in my future role.”

Sascha Gruber said: “I am honored to have been appointed as Chief Executive Officer and I would like to thank the Princely Family, our Chairman and Roberto for the trust they have placed in me. LGT Capital Partners is very well positioned and has a clear vision for the future. I look forward to working with colleagues across the firm to further develop our investment platform and continue serving our clients and partners globally.”

LGT Capital Partners will remain focused on pursuing its existing strategy and investment activities under the long-term ownership of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein. As a principal investor, the firm will also continue to invest its own capital alongside that of its clients, supporting a close alignment of interests.
