Atul Singh, who helped launch the India operations last year in collaboration with the Liechtenstein royal family backed LGT, hopes to have $3bn in assets under management by the end of next year, according to Bloomberg.
Recent legal reforms that now allow wealthy people to invest abroad through limited liability partnerships enable LGT to provide more options to customers.
As India’s wealth growth creates a more competitive environment, LGT is one of a number of businesses vying for market share, including Barclays, Julius Baer Group, and HSBC Holdings.
India’s wealth industry is estimated to be worth $600bn with a 12% annual growth rate.
Many wealthy families invest the majority of their money in domestic assets, but LGT Wealth India is attempting to change this by assisting them with risk management.
Currently, the company looks after the assets of roughly 1,200 Indian families.
