Competence centres

The LLB Group is distinguished by its specialised competence centres, which provide comprehensive services and profound professional knowledge. The purpose of these specialist departments is to competently fulfil the requirements and wishes of our many different client groups.

Fund services

With four investment fund companies in three markets, we are among the most versatile fund vendors in Europe. A total of 715 managed funds having a fund volume totalling CHF 43.4 billion (31.12.2023: CHF 38.7 billion) testifies to our powerful position as a fund service provider for professional clients and wealthy private clients. Thanks to the unrestricted access to both the EU and Switzerland, Liechtenstein provides ideal conditions for cross-border fund distribution.

We plan and set up tailor-made funds, we structure and manage these vehicles and ensure modern risk management. In line with our “one-stop shop” concept, we offer a full range of products and services, providing us with maximum flexibility to fulfil client wishes.

Fund Powerhouse

As a fund powerhouse, the LLB Group has also made a name for itself in the entire German-speaking region. Our fund expertise is based in these centres: the Fund Services competence centre in Vaduz, the fund service provider LLB Swiss Investment in Zurich and the fund subsidiaries LLB Invest and LLB Immo in Vienna.

At the business centres in Vaduz and Zurich, we supplement our services by acting as a representative for foreign funds. In Liechtenstein and Austria, we also take over the function of custodian bank / depositary.

Private label funds

The LLB Group’s fund management companies attach great importance to private label fund solutions (known in Austria as “Special funds”). External asset managers and institutional investors frequently employ private label funds tailored to suit their individual requirements which, depending on their structure, can be distributed throughout the EU. Family offices and wealthy private clients can also utilise our tailor-made solutions. These are structured according to Liechtenstein, Swiss or EU law and enjoy the same investor protection as funds licensed for public distribution. They therefore enable large volumes of assets to be efficiently managed and individually structured.

Common fund platform

The foundation of our fund business growth is provided by a uniform, modern fund platform, which standardises, digitalises and automates our entire investment fund business. This enables us to offer our clients a high quality IT application with a broad range of functions and various reporting options. We manage funds using standardised processes, uniform data and price quotes, as well as a centralised IT operation, enabling us to implement individual solutions without any loss of flexibility. As a result, our strategic objectives of growth and efficiency are coupled with each other while costs and complexity are reduced.

EAM Powerhouse

Since 2024, our professional clients and external asset managers have benefitted from our new EAM powerhouse.

We have intensified the collaboration in our institutional business in the markets of Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria and Germany. As a result, our clients now have smooth access to all our booking centres, providing them with individual care and high quality business processing. In addition, we have introduced new digital onboarding for end clients.All these services offer external asset managers an ideal, complete package to enable them to enhance efficiency and quality for their own clients.

The interfaces integrated in our EAM powerhouse make a major contribution to this process. They facilitate the smooth transmission of data and orders, as well as stock market transactions thereby reducing the number of work steps and optimising processes (see chapter Digitalisation).

The interaction between the EAM powerhouse and the fund powerhouse is being continually intensified and expanded throughout the Group. As a result, both our clients and our client advisers at our various business locations benefit from the many synergies (see the online special LLB in flux).

Asset management

The investment expertise of our LLB Asset Management AG is one of our great strengths. They are the largest asset managers in Liechtenstein. For over twenty years they have been developing investment strategies for private and institutional clients. With more than fifty employees, our Asset Management offers a whole spectrum of investment solutions that are structured to exploit long-term return opportunities. Their range of activities includes asset allocation, investment fund and portfolio management, as well as securities recommendations for various groups of investors. A structured, multi-factor investment concept and our own specially developed software solutions support the precise implementation of the selected strategies. LLB Asset Management manages over fifty investment funds and collaborates with external specialists to provide or clients with access to specific market niches.

Outstanding investment expertise

For many years, our investment products have regularly received the highest awards at industry award ceremonies. In 2024, the LLB Group was selected as the best overall manager in the category “Small Asset Managers in Germany”. This award recognised the outstanding performance of our equity, bond and strategy funds over the last three years (see chapter Letter to shareholders).
