LGT Vestra Get Into Gear For ‘Prince to Prince’ Bike Ride

The recently enlarged UK wealth manager is raising money for The Prince’s Trust.

Eight cyclists from LGT Vestra have embarked on a 6-day, 725-mile bike ride from Buckingham Palace in London to the Vaduz Castle in Liechtenstein to fundraise for charity The Prince’s Trust.

A team from LGT, the Liechtenstein-based private banking group, will join the cyclists for the last leg in their home country, taking them to Vaduz Castle, home of the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, which owns LGT. As at 30 June 2016, the group managed assets of SFr 143.4 billion ($147.2 billion) for wealthy private individuals and institutional clients.

Earlier this year, UK-based Vestra Wealth rebranded to LGT Vestra after LGT agreed to acquire a majority stake in the wealth manager. 

The cycling challenge, which began on Sunday 18th September, will help to raise funds for LGT Vestra’s new charity partner, The Prince’s Trust. Last year, The Prince’s Trust helped 56,000 young people from disadvantaged backgrounds turn their lives around.
