LGT Appoints Ex-Stanchart Thailand CEO to Expand Wealth Management for Thai Families

LGT has appointed Anchalee Bunsongsikul as chief executive officer of LGT Securities (Thailand) Ltd, effective May 15, as the Liechtenstein-based private bank deepens its LGT Thailand wealth management presence in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing affluent markets.

Bunsongsikul brings more than three decades of experience in international banking and was most recently president and chief executive officer for Thailand and representative offices at Standard Chartered Bank. She will also join the Executive Board Asia Pacific of LGT Private Banking.

LGT said Thailand remains an important market for serving wealthy Thai families, entrepreneurs and business owners as demand rises for cross-border wealth planning, succession advisory and international investment diversification.

The bank launched its Thailand wealth management business in 2019 and has steadily expanded its regional footprint across Asia-Pacific.

The group now operates across Hong Kong, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Australia, India and the Middle East, employing around 1,800 people in Asia-Pacific.

The appointment reflects intensifying competition among international private banks seeking to capture rising wealth creation and family office demand across Southeast Asia, particularly among first-generation entrepreneurial families looking for global asset allocation and succession solutions.
