Item 4: Advisory Business
LGT Wealth Management US Limited (“We”, “Us”, “LGT US” or the “Firm”) is a United Kingdom
(“UK”) based wealth management company which is a wholly owned subsidiary of LGT UK
Holdings Limited (“LGT UK Holdings”) and is an affiliated entity of LGT Wealth Management UK
LLP (“LGT UK”). LGT UK and LGT US are under the common ownership via LGT UK Holdings.
LGT US was formed in 2012 to provide discretionary and advisory investment management
services to a broad spectrum of clients who have a connection to the United States of America
(“US”) and the UK.
LGT US is a private limited company incorporated in England & Wales (Company No. 06455240)
and is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) (Firm
Reference Number 585547). LGT US is also a registered investment adviser with the US
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under reference 801-77580.
LGT UK (which was previously the sole shareholder of LGT US) was set up in 2008 to provide
wealth management services to private clients, companies, trusts, charities and financial
intermediaries based predominately in the UK and the European Economic Area (“EEA”). LGT
UK is a limited liability partnership (LLP) incorporated in England & Wales (Company No.
OC329392), is authorised and regulated by the FCA (Firm Reference Number 471048) and is a
Member of the London Stock Exchange (“LSE”).
In June 2016, LGT owned by the Princely Family of Liechtenstein took a majority stake in LGT
UK (previously Vestra Wealth LLP), primarily from external investors in the firm. In October 2020,
LGT completed the acquisition by buying the remaining equity previously held by the executive
partners of LGT UK. The final action in the acquisition process saw the UK and US entities
(formerly LGT Vestra Wealth LLP and LGT Vestra US Wealth Management Limited respectively)
to be renamed LGT UK and LGT US. The Firm’s affiliate, LGT Vestra (Jersey) Limited, was also
renamed LGT Wealth Jersey Limited (“LGT Jersey”).
LGT Group is the largest private banking and asset management group in the world that is wholly
owned by a single family. As at 31 December 2024, LGT managed CHF 367.5bn in assets and
the group benefits from a well-diversified revenue base and economies of scale.
LGT US provides discretionary and advisory investment management services across a broad
range of client portfolio/account types, including (where eligible) individual savings accounts and
investment portfolios, individual retirement accounts, personal pensions, trust and charity
accounts.
Subject to your criteria and/or your particular requirements, we may be able to offer you a:
− Strategic Portfolio Service;
− Discretionary Account Service; or an
− Advisory Account Service.

It is important to note that LGT US does not undertake to provide direct custody and execution
services. For each type of service, you are required to enter into a separate agreement appointing
LGT UK, LGT Jersey or RBC Advisor Services ("RBC") (each a “Custodian” together the
“Custodians”) as your custodian. The Custodians undertake to provide you with (amongst other
things) custody, execution, reporting and trade settlement services. Further information about
Custody practices are covered in more detail in Item 15 (Custody) of this Brochure.
Strategic Portfolio Service
LGT US’s Strategic Portfolio Service enables you to invest into a risk rated model portfolio,
ranging from low risk to very high risk. All of LGT US’s models are managed on an entirely
discretionary basis and the Firm carefully selects suitable assets relevant to each models’
investment and risk strategy. Owing to the nature of the Strategic Portfolio Service, it is not
possible for you to impose any security and/or sector restrictions or to instruct the sale/purchase
of any security or securities. The minimum investable amount for this service is typically £500,000
or currency equivalent.
Discretionary Account Service
LGT US also offers a Discretionary Account Service whereby your account is managed by us on
a discretionary basis and in accordance with your agreed investment and risk parameters. The
Discretionary Account Service allows for the purchase and sale of specific securities and can, in
some circumstances, allow for you to impose certain restrictions; meaning we will not purchase
any securities which, for any reason, you may not be comfortable holding. The minimum
investable amount for this service is typically £1m or currency equivalent.
Advisory Account Service
LGT US’s Advisory Account Service enables you to receive tailored advice from us which is
specific to your needs. We undertake to make recommendations and provide advice to you in
accordance with your agreed investment and risk parameters. We will not instruct any
transactions without your express consent.
US domestic account services
We are also able to offer discretionary investment management services if you hold a US
domestic account where the assets within that account must be maintained locally in the US. LGT
US works with RBC who are able to provide custody, execution and certain other ancillary account
services to you. RBC is a division of RBC Capital Markets LLC. This does require that you
establish a separate contractual relationship with RBC and agree to the terms governing the
services that they provide to you.
Wealth Planning services
We are able to offer a comprehensive financial planning service which helps ensure your
ambitions remain on track. We work with you to create a bespoke financial plan designed around
your individual needs, offering long-term guidance. Typically, clients benefit from Wealth Planning
advice in relation to pension aggregation, inheritance tax planning, retirement planning and cash
flow analysis.

General
Further information about Brokerage practices are covered in more detail in Item 12 (Brokerage
Practices) of this Brochure.
In all instances, we require you to complete our Investment and Risk Profile Questionnaire, which
enables us to establish an investment strategy that considers your investment objectives, attitude
to risk, investment experience and financial circumstances. Once the Investment and Risk Profile
Questionnaire has been completed, an Investment Manager will identify and discuss with you any
of your responses that may appear to be inconsistent and propose an Investment Policy
Statement which will act as a mutual agreement between you and us regarding the
circumstances, objectives and constraints that govern the way we will manage your portfolio.
As at December 31, 2024, the Firm has US $1.4 billion of assets under management, all of which
are managed on a discretionary or advisory basis.

Item 5: Fees and Compensation
Our charges are levied based on the value of the assets that you entrust us to manage. We will
charge you on a tiered basis which means that our percentage investment management fee will
decrease as your assets grow, as illustrated below:
Investment Management fee for LGT US accounts
Annual Management Fee (Charged by LGT US)
0.90%
0.75%
Tier
On the first £1m (or currency
equivalent)
On the next £4m (or currency
equivalent)
Above £5m (or currency equivalent)
0.50%
In certain circumstances we may, at our discretion, negotiate our fee tiers and charges with you.
This will be agreed in writing with you.
Our investment management fees are paid to us directly by the custodians and on a quarterly
basis in arrears. We do not have any authority to deduct investment management fees directly
from your account.
Investment Management fee calculation
To calculate our annual charge, the below formula is used:
x
=
Account value as at the
last day of the quarter
LGT US annual rate per tiered
structure (%)
Annual management

To calculate LGT US’s quarterly charge, the following formula is used:
Annual management
charge
x Number of days in the quarter
=
Quarter fee*
365 (number of days in
the year)
* Plus VAT if applicable
Custodian fee
Separate to our Investment Management fee, you will also be required to pay certain
custody/administrative fees to the Custodian for the services which they provide to you. All
relevant fees/charges will be clearly set out in any fee agreement between you and the Custodian,
but we set out below salient fees and charges for illustrative purposes. LGT US cannot negotiate
nor has any control over the fees that you pay to the Custodians.
LGT UK/LGT Jersey Custody fees
All clients pay a custody and execution fee of 0.25% to LGT UK or LGT Jersey as appropriate.
There may also be other ancillary account charges levied by LGT UK and LGT Jersey (such as

money transfer and foreign exchange fees) for the operation of your account and these will be
agreed with you in advance. In certain circumstances, LGT UK and LGT Jersey may, at their
discretion, negotiate their fees and charges with you.
RBC fees
For accounts custodied with RBC, LGT US undertakes to charge a fixed investment management
fee 0.95% per annum based on the value of the assets under management. In addition, RBC will
charge a fixed custody fee of 0.05%. There may also be other ancillary account charges levied
by RBC for the operation of your account and these will be agreed with you in advance.
Wealth Planning fees
Fees for bespoke Wealth Planning services are agreed on a case-by-case basis and are payable
separately from our investment management fees. You will be advised of the fees before any
Wealth Planning service is provided. The Wealth Planning fee covers associated research and
analysis of your situation. It is important to note that such fee would be payable regardless of
whether our advice is to implement a change to your financial set-up or not. For example, if after
reviewing your circumstances we decide that it is prudent to remain in an existing pension scheme
and to not move into a new scheme, the payment would remain payable regardless. In certain
circumstances we may, at our discretion, negotiate our fee with you which will be agreed in writing.

Item 8: Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss
LGT US has its own investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) which is responsible
for formulating the Firms overall investment policy. The overall objective of the Investment
Committee is to research and communicate, on a consistent and timely basis, global investment
themes and market views. These are then blended to create an investment menu of approved or
preferred investment solutions that support the portfolio construction process and investment
demands of our clients.
The Investment Committee sits at the heart of LGT US’s investment process and serves to
consider and, where suitable, implement the investment strategy and disseminate its views and
the investment recommendations. Whilst the Investment Committee is independent of LGT UK,
it utilises the output from certain of LGT UK’s committees, including the UK Investment
Committee, UK Equity Committee, International Equity Committee, Bond Committee and
Authorised Collectives Committee.
LGT UK’s Equity Committee and International Equity Committee (together the “Equity
Committees”) are responsible for maintaining and monitoring a preferred list of UK and
international equities. The Equity Committees undertake both fundamental and technical research
to identify potential investment opportunities and undertake periodic reviews of equities currently
on the recommended list. Fundamental methods are used to assess the fair value of a prospective
equity holding while technical analysis is used to analyse historic price movements. The Equity
Committees utilise several sources of information for investment research, including market data,
independent research analytics and research provided by third parties and global investment
banks.
LGT UK's Fixed Income Committee (the "Fixed Income Committee") undertakes both
fundamental and technical research to identify prevalent and potential investment opportunities
within the global fixed income universe. The Fixed Income Committee will analyse yields, interest
rates, credit spreads, downgrades/upgrades, new issues and liquidity conditions.
LGT UK's Authorised Collectives Committee (the "Authorised Collectives Committee") is
responsible for researching, monitoring and maintaining a list of preferred regulated funds. The
Authorised Collectives Committee undertakes both quantitative and qualitative analysis of third-
party funds and ETFs. The objective of the committee is to select the best of breed funds for
each asset class and to formulate a list of approved funds which would be suitable for both LGT
US and LGT UK clients.
A key objective of the LGT US Investment Committee is to analyse the output from the various
abovementioned committees and, where applicable, incorporate its own views, taking into
account any multi-jurisdictional considerations. This allows LGT US to construct portfolios which
take into account our clients’ specific investment needs.
Investment Strategies
As outlined in Item 4, the investment strategies run by LGT US will ultimately be determined by
the service and the investment mandate agreed upon with you. Our investment approach is to
seek to provide a moderate rate of return above inflation through the economic cycle.

Risk of Loss Factors
It is important that clients understand the risks involved in investing in various instruments. All
investments involve a degree of risk to a client’s capital and/or income, but the level of risk can
vary significantly. Clients should be aware that even when an investment (for example) is labelled
as low risk, it does not mean that the return of your initial investment is guaranteed. There are
few investment products which provide total capital protection.
Investors should be aware that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future
performance and that the value of any investments, as well as any income derived from those
investments can go down as well as up, and investors may get back less than the original
amount invested.
There are many risk factors which can impact on a client’s investment portfolio and below is an
outline of some of the major risks which are inherent in investing into different asset class
securities. This section cannot cover all risks but is meant to act as a general guide to the most
significant aspects of the risk associated with any products and services the Firm may offer its
clients.

Item 11: Code of Ethics, Participation or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal
Trading
The Code of Ethics
The following is a summary of LGT US’s Code of Ethics and Personal Securities Transactions
Policy (the “Code” or “Code of Ethics”) which has been adopted in accordance with Section
204A-1 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
A full copy of the Code is available to any client or prospective client upon request and without
charge.
LGT US has adopted a Code of Ethics that applies to employees of the Firm and to any other
person the Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) deems appropriate.
The foundation of the Code of Ethics is based on the underlying principles that:
• Employees must at all times place the interests of the Firm’s clients first;
• Employees must make sure that all personal securities transactions are conducted
consistent with the Code and Personal Account Dealing Policy; and
• Employees should not take inappropriate advantage of their position at LGT US.
All of LGT US’s employees are required to adhere to the Code of Ethics and certify their
adherence to the Code upon commencing their employment and on a quarterly basis thereafter.
Holdings and Transactions Reporting
Certain of LGT US’s employees (Access Persons, as defined in the Code of Ethics) are obligated
to deliver certain periodic reports to the Firms CCO.
All Access Persons must initially, and at least annually, deliver a Holdings Report to the CCO.
Any new employee to LGT US deemed to be an Access Person must provide an Initial Holdings
Report to the CCO within 10 days of commencing employment.
Holdings information must be current and of a date no older than 45 days prior to submission and
must also contain details of any brokerage accounts that the Access Person has which are
capable of holding certain reportable securities.
Furthermore, all Access Persons are required to deliver to the CCO a detailed report of personal
transactions (covering substantially all securities other than exempted securities) undertaken
during each calendar quarter. Information in respect of any new brokerage accounts opened
during the relevant period is also required to be disclosed.
Personal Trading
From time to time, employees (and certain related persons) may have an interest in securities
which are owned by or recommended to clients of LGT US. In such circumstances, the Firm has
Policies in place to ensure that the interests of the Firms employees do not conflict with the
obligations the Firm owes to its clients. All employees are encouraged to discuss any concerns
or potential conflicts of interest with the Firms CCO.

All Access Persons must obtain pre-clearance from the CCO (or his designee) for all personal
trades and also obtain pre-approval from the CCO (or his designee) before engaging in any
outside business activities or applying for an allocation of an Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) or
private placement.
Conflicts of interest
It is the Policy of the Firm that all employees and others working on its behalf act in good faith
and in the best interests of the Firm and its clients. The Firm has Policies and Procedures in
place to identify and manage conflicts of interest.
Code Violations
The Firm takes any violation of the Code seriously and will take relevant action where necessary.
Extension of the Code
The Firm recognises that, in light of affiliated entities providing custodial and execution services
to its clients, the Code should reach beyond individuals employed by LGT US. To this end, any
individual not directly employed by LGT US but who provides ancillary services to the Firm is
identified as an 'Access Person' and is duly required to comply with the Code and the principles
therein. All individuals identified by the CCO as Access Persons are identified within the Code
itself.

Item 12: Brokerage Practices
General arrangements
As described in Item 4, clients are required to separately appoint a Custodian to undertake
(amongst other things) custody and execution. The Custodian will charge you certain fees for the
services they provide which will be agreed with you at the outset of the relationship, and prior to
the provision of any service.
LGT US does not receive research or other products/services (“soft dollar benefits”) from any
third party as payment for services undertaken by the Firm. Any investment research received is
paid for by the Firm.
Directed Brokerage
For its primary investment management business, you are required to enter into (where
appropriate) a separate legal agreement with LGT UK, LGT Jersey or RBC.
You will need to open a custody account and enter into a separate agreement with the Custodian.
If you open a custody account with LGT UK or LGT Jersey, you will direct LGT US to transmit all
transactions to LGT UK or LGT Jersey as appropriate. It is possible that LGT US may not be able
to achieve the most favourable execution terms of transactions undertaken through LGT UK or
LGT Jersey. If so, this may cost you more money. Not all advisers require their clients to direct
brokerage to another organisation.
If you have a US domestic account(s) where the assets in the account(s) must maintained in the
US, LGT US has entered into an agreement with RBC. Under this agreement, RBC will be able
to provide to you custody of your assets, execution and other ancillary account services where
you appoint LGT US as their investment manager.
You would be required to open a custody account and enter into a separate agreement with RBC.
If you open a custody account with RBC, you will direct LGT US to execute all transactions through
RBC. It is possible that LGT US will not be able to achieve the most favourable execution terms
of transactions undertaken through RBC. If so, this may cost you more money. Not all advisers
require their clients to direct brokerage to another organisation.

Item 13: Review of Accounts
Each portfolio that LGT US manages is subject to a review. These reviews are designed to
ensure that all accounts remain within the investment guidelines agreed with each client. LGT
US’s Investment Committee and the Firm’s portfolio risk and compliance team also undertakes
additional ad-hoc reviews.
In addition to the portfolio reviews, further reviews may also be triggered by any material changes
such as a notification of a change in a client’s circumstances, an injection or redemption of capital
in the client portfolio managed or changes in the prevailing market, political or economic
environment.
Client reporting is provided by the Custodians in accordance with the underlying account
agreement and prevailing regulatory rules and regulations. Each of LGT UK and LGT Jersey
undertakes to send quarterly account information directly to you.
We would urge you to ensure that you carefully check these statements and compare any
statements received from us against statements received from LGT UK and LGT Jersey.

Item 15: Custody
LGT US does not undertake to provide direct custody and execution services and does therefore
not consider itself to have direct Custody of its client's assets. Depending on the type of services
you need, you would be required to enter into a separate agreement appointing LGT UK, LGT
Jersey or RBC as your custodian. The agreements with the Custodians permit LGT US to
facilitate the passing of orders for execution by the Custodians.
LGT US does not have custody of cash, bank accounts or securities, as these services and the
administration of them are provided exclusively by the Custodians. We do however recognise
that both LGT UK and LGT Jersey are affiliated entities (commonly known as related persons) of
LGT US and the view that this relationship may present a conflict of interest. To this end, and as
required by regulation, we have certain controls in place overcome any presumption that we are
not operationally independent of those entities.
Each of LGT UK and LGT Jersey undertakes to send quarterly account information directly to
you. As mentioned in section 13, we would urge you to ensure that you carefully check these
statements and compare any statements received from us against statements received from LGT

Item 16: Investment Discretion
LGT US provides investment management services on either a discretionary or advisory basis.
Each of the models offered via the Strategic Portfolio Service are managed by LGT US on an
entirely discretionary management basis. This means that the Firm will not contact you prior to
executing transactions, and we retain full discretion to buy and sell securities suited to the risk
strategy of the relevant model.
For Discretionary Account Services, we will manage your account, at our discretion, in
accordance with an agreed strategy between you and us. We will not contact you prior to
executing transactions and retain discretion to buy and sell securities suited to the risk strategy
desired by you.
For Advisory Account Services, we will contact you when we establish a suitable opportunity
which we firmly believe will maximise the potential value of your portfolio. We refrain from taking
any action until you have confirmed that you are agreeable to the proposed action.
Prior to managing your assets, we conduct a full “Know Your Customer” (“KYC”) assessment
which includes you completing an Investment and Risk Profile Questionnaire (“IRPQ”). The IRPQ
provides us with relevant information about you, your personal circumstances, your investment
experience and your attitude to risk.
Once you have completed the IRPQ, one of our investment managers will identify and discuss
with you any responses that appear to be inconsistent. Following this discussion, we would
propose an Investment Policy Statement (“IPS”). The IPS acts as a mutual agreement between
you and us regarding the circumstances, objectives and constraints that govern the way we will
manage a client's portfolio.
LGT US will not assume any investment management responsibility until all portfolio opening
paperwork and Anti-Money Laundering (“AML”) checks have been satisfactorily undertaken and
completed. Furthermore, no trading activity will be undertaken until we have received a
completed IRPQ which outlines your investment objectives, attitude to risk, investment
experience and financial circumstances.
We want to ensure that we manage your money in the way you feel most comfortable, so
ensuring that we have as much relevant information as possible is key to ensuring this, and your
trust in us.

Item 17: Voting Client Securities
The type of securities LGT US invests in for its clients are primarily equities and other equity
related securities. We will exercise any vote in respect of shares in equities on your behalf where
appropriate, and where we have the discretionary authority to do so.
As investment manager, LGT US will be notified of any action (which requires voting by the
security holder) by the relevant Custodian.
Where we have your discretionary authority, we would not consult with you before exercising any
vote but will always seek to vote in a manner that we determine as in your best interests. LGT
US maintains written records of the proxy vote on each occasion a proxy is voted.
Information on how the Firm has voted a particular client proxy is available to that client upon
request.
Where any material conflict is identified, no action will be taken without referral to the Firm’s CCO
and CEO. The CCO and CEO will consider all aspects of the material conflict and will advise the
investment manager and/or other personnel accordingly.
