Head of Investment Solutions

LGT Wealth Management was formed around a clear and uncompromising vision – to bring global best practice in building institutional quality investment portfolios to Australian clients.

With a shared passion for building an uncompromised business – we created something new from the ground up. A chance to leave behind the things that weren't working, while enhancing the things that were. Our authentic and personalised client-first commitment. Our entrepreneurial spirit. Our focus in best-in-class advice. And our intimate understanding of the Australian private wealth landscape.

In 2022 we became a part of the LGT Group, who shared our entrepreneurial spirit, long-term approach and private-ownership model. Today, with the global expertise, stability, and capability of LGT behind us, we can work without being reliant on markets or margins, with a singular focus on giving our clients the advice and deep expertise they need for generations to come.

This is a highly visible position within the organisation, and the Head of Investment Solutions (IS) must be an organisational leader, one who will challenge others thinking and bring idea generation and innovation to further LGT Wealth Management's strategic goals.  To adapt to the LGT Wealth Management's culture, the Head of IS, in addition to being strategic, must also be tactical, willing to get involved to get the job done.
