Spear’s Review

William Townrow, a partner at LGT Wealth Management, is proud of his team’s AuM growth in recent years, which he says is driven by a high number of referrals from existing clients. ‘Business has grown despite the most challenging of times,’ he tells Spear’s.

Townrow heads up the firm’s wealth management arm, which he says offers clients a ‘more bespoke and boutique offering, where their personal needs are understood and addressed’. His client base is largely made up of entrepreneurial UK resident and domiciled HNWs.

Townrow has been at LGT since 2009. Prior to that he was First Vice President of investment at Merrill Lynch and a senior adviser at Barclays Wealth for almost a decade.

Adviser Profile

William Townrow is a Partner at LGT Wealth Management, having been with the firm since 2009, where he heads up the Wealth Management team, focusing on UK resident and UK domiciled entrepreneurs. Will has successfully worked with such clients throughout their wealth journey, from creation through to business exit and beyond.

His considerable experience within the sector allows him to provide a high-quality, bespoke and personalised level of service to his clients. Providing a combination of independent wealth planning and investment management allows him to address all the financial needs of his clients through one trusted relationship.

Will is supported by a team of exceptional colleagues at LGT, both in terms of their investment management returns, but crucially though exceptional client service. He believes that wealth management is not only led by investment performance, but also through first-class client service, where trust is at the heart of any valuable long-term relationship. Never has this been more important than over the last two years given the challenges clients have inevitably faced.

This trust and transparency have been at heart of LGT’s culture and values since its inception, and remain a key driver in all that it does. Combining all of these elements has allowed Will to continue to grow his business through even the most challenging of times. 

Being a Partner at one of the industry’s fastest-growing firms, that is recognised for both its first-class investment performance as well as its exceptional client service, is a huge source of pride for him. He feels that it is also important to be surrounded by colleagues who enjoy working for LGT, and clients that value and enjoy being clients of the firm. Will says these values, ‘make LGT a very special place to both work and be a client of’.
