<strong>Annual</strong> report<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> report<br />

In <strong>2010</strong>, the f<strong>in</strong>ancial markets were significantly affected<br />

by the consequences of the f<strong>in</strong>ancial and economic<br />

crisis. Although the economy has recovered more or<br />

less across the globe, the economic challenges faced<br />

by <strong>in</strong>dividual countries and regions still vary widely.<br />

In this challeng<strong>in</strong>g environment, <strong>LGT</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>in</strong> Liechtenste<strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>Ltd</strong>. achieved a good bus<strong>in</strong>ess result.<br />

In the <strong>2010</strong> bus<strong>in</strong>ess year, gross operat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>come<br />

decreased slightly by CHF 13.9 million, or 3 percent,<br />

to CHF 495.6 million. Earn<strong>in</strong>gs were held back by<br />

low <strong>in</strong>terest rates and the strength of the Swiss Franc<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st the Euro and US Dollar. Offsett<strong>in</strong>g these developments<br />

was a general pick-up <strong>in</strong> client stock market<br />

activity over the course of the second six months.<br />

Income from commission bus<strong>in</strong>ess and services fell by<br />

CHF 10.9 million (6 percent) to CHF 162.1 million,<br />

while net <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong>come decl<strong>in</strong>ed by 38 percent to<br />

CHF 128.1 million. In the previous year, <strong>in</strong>come from<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial transactions had <strong>in</strong>creased sharply thanks to<br />

profits realized on own securities. In the year under<br />

report, the bank was no longer able to benefit from<br />

this special effect. Consequently – and <strong>in</strong> spite of significantly<br />

higher earn<strong>in</strong>gs from trad<strong>in</strong>g activities – <strong>in</strong>come<br />

from f<strong>in</strong>ancial transactions was down by CHF 34.6 million,<br />

or 33 percent. In <strong>2010</strong>, operat<strong>in</strong>g expenses decreased<br />

by CHF 17.3 million, or 7 percent. The decrease<br />

encompassed a parallel fall <strong>in</strong> personnel expenses and<br />

bus<strong>in</strong>ess expenses. The cost / <strong>in</strong>come ratio improved<br />

marg<strong>in</strong>ally from 47 to 45 percent.<br />

Profit for the year was <strong>in</strong>creased substantially by CHF<br />

71.3 million, or 38 percent, to CHF 257.3 million. This<br />

improved result was attributable, among other factors,<br />

to various special effects. On the one hand, <strong>in</strong> <strong>2010</strong><br />

the bank was able to release tax provisions that had<br />

been allocated <strong>in</strong> 2009 <strong>in</strong> connection with tax changes<br />

<strong>in</strong> Liechtenste<strong>in</strong>. On the other, the bank booked extraord<strong>in</strong>ary<br />

revenues <strong>in</strong> <strong>2010</strong> of CHF 98.7 million from its<br />

shares <strong>in</strong> affiliated companies. Moreover, it also released<br />

provisions of CHF 30 million for general bank<strong>in</strong>g risks.<br />

The capital resources of <strong>LGT</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>in</strong> Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>.<br />

rema<strong>in</strong>ed at a very sound level. At 21.0 percent at the<br />

end of <strong>2010</strong>, the bank’s equity capital exceeded the<br />

statutory requirement of 8 percent of risk-weighted<br />

exposure by 163 percent.<br />

On account of currency <strong>in</strong>fluences, client assets under<br />

adm<strong>in</strong>istration decl<strong>in</strong>ed by CHF 2.2 billion, or 5 percent,<br />

to CHF 45.4 billion. Asset outflows were further reduced<br />

while new money <strong>in</strong>flows rose, result<strong>in</strong>g on the whole<br />

<strong>in</strong> a sharply improved net new money balance.<br />

The shares of <strong>LGT</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>in</strong> Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>. are wholly<br />

owned by <strong>LGT</strong> Group Foundation. No own shares<br />

were acquired or taken as a pledge, either directly or<br />

<strong>in</strong>directly. <strong>LGT</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>in</strong> Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>. is a part of<br />

<strong>LGT</strong> Group, a globally active wealth and asset management<br />

group, which takes an <strong>in</strong>tegrated approach to<br />

the management and development of the <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />

Group companies. <strong>LGT</strong> Group's annual report provides<br />

<strong>in</strong>formation about the f<strong>in</strong>ancial capacity, expertise and<br />

development of <strong>LGT</strong> Group.<br />

Thanks to the cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g economic recovery <strong>in</strong> many<br />

areas, the operat<strong>in</strong>g conditions for bank<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess<br />

have gradually improved. Liechtenste<strong>in</strong>’s economic<br />

and political stability, its strong currency and the expertise<br />

built up over many years <strong>in</strong> private bank<strong>in</strong>g all<br />

strengthen the attractiveness of its f<strong>in</strong>ancial center –<br />

especially <strong>in</strong> view of the weakness of the Euro and<br />

the US Dollar. As a family company with a long-term<br />

perspective and a strong capital base, <strong>LGT</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> <strong>in</strong><br />

Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> <strong>Ltd</strong>. is well positioned to meet and<br />

master future challenges <strong>in</strong> this environment. The<br />

<strong>in</strong>ternational structure of the company, its consistent,<br />

long-term strategy and its dedicated employees form<br />

key components of its success by guarantee<strong>in</strong>g safety,<br />

performance and quality.<br />

Cash and cash equivalents, debt <strong>in</strong>struments of<br />

public authorities and bills which are eligible for<br />

ref<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g at central banks, and claims on banks<br />

Cash and cash equivalents and claims on banks are<br />

reported <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet at par value. Registered<br />

money market claims, rescriptions and treasury certificates<br />

are reported <strong>in</strong>clusive of amortized discounts.<br />

Due from clients<br />

Non-impaired claims aga<strong>in</strong>st clients are reported <strong>in</strong> the<br />

balance sheet at nom<strong>in</strong>al value. Impaired claims, i.e.<br />

claims where it appears unlikely that the debtor will be<br />

able to meet his future obligations, are valued on an<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividual basis and the decrease <strong>in</strong> value is covered by<br />

specific value adjustments. Loans are rated as impaired<br />

at the latest if the contractual payments for capital<br />

and/or <strong>in</strong>terest have been outstand<strong>in</strong>g for more than<br />

90 days. Interest which has been outstan d<strong>in</strong>g for more<br />

than 90 days is regarded as overdue. Overdue <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

and <strong>in</strong>terest which is <strong>in</strong> danger of not be<strong>in</strong>g received,<br />

is no longer recovered but is <strong>in</strong>stead allocated to value<br />

adjustments.<br />

The decrease <strong>in</strong> value is measured accord<strong>in</strong>g to the difference<br />

between the book value of the claim and the<br />

probable recoverable amount, tak<strong>in</strong>g account of the<br />

estimated net present value on the balance sheet date.<br />

The net present value calculation is based on the current<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest rate of the claim and the expected dates of the<br />

future <strong>in</strong>com<strong>in</strong>g payments. Specific value adjustments<br />

are deducted directly from the correspond<strong>in</strong>g claims.<br />

Appendix to the f<strong>in</strong>ancial statement<br />

In addition to the specific value adjustments, the bank<br />

makes portfolio value adjustments to cover any latent<br />

default risks present on the balance sheet date. In this<br />

connection, equivalent claims not entitled to specific<br />

value adjustments are grouped together (portfolios).<br />

A calculation model is then applied to each portfolio to<br />

determ<strong>in</strong>e the necessary portfolio value adjustments as<br />

soon as a latent credit risk is signalled by predeterm<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

<strong>in</strong>dicators. Portfolio value adjustments are offset aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />

the correspond<strong>in</strong>g claims. Changes to the portfolio value<br />

adjustments are entered <strong>in</strong> the profit and loss account.<br />

Impaired claims are reclassified as perform<strong>in</strong>g if the<br />

outstand<strong>in</strong>g capital amounts and <strong>in</strong>terest are aga<strong>in</strong><br />

paid with<strong>in</strong> the specified period under contractual<br />

agreements.<br />

Trad<strong>in</strong>g positions compris<strong>in</strong>g securities and<br />

precious metals<br />

Trad<strong>in</strong>g positions are valued at the market value on the<br />

balance sheet date. For positions which are not traded<br />

representative market, valuation is carried out at the<br />

lower of cost or market.


Securities and precious metals held as current<br />

and non-current assets<br />

Current assets are valued at the lower of cost or market.<br />

Money market papers are measured at amortized cost.<br />

Fixed-<strong>in</strong>terest bear<strong>in</strong>g securities assigned to non-current<br />

assets are reported <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet at the repayment<br />

amount. Premiums and discounts which have not<br />

yet been amortized are reported as accrued items. Only<br />

those debt <strong>in</strong>struments which are kept until maturity<br />

are recorded as non-current assets.<br />

Precious metals held as current assets are valued at<br />

the market value on the balance sheet date. Precious<br />

metals held as non-current assets are reported at cost<br />

m<strong>in</strong>us necessary value adjustments.<br />

Shares <strong>in</strong> affiliated companies and participations<br />

Shares <strong>in</strong> affiliated companies and participations are<br />

valued at cost, tak<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to account necessary value<br />

adjustments.<br />

Shares <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>frastructure companies are also reported <strong>in</strong><br />

the balance sheet under participations. These items are<br />

<strong>in</strong>significant <strong>in</strong> capital and vot<strong>in</strong>g shares.<br />

Subord<strong>in</strong>ated loans to affiliated companies are reported<br />

at the nom<strong>in</strong>al value.<br />

Tangible assets<br />

Properties for the bank’s own use are valued at cost,<br />

<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g any appreciat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>vestments, less depreciation<br />

over a fixed useful life (generally 50 years).<br />

Any build<strong>in</strong>g work carried out <strong>in</strong> rented properties is<br />

depreciated over the term of the rental agreement.<br />

Other tangible assets such as mach<strong>in</strong>ery, furniture<br />

and vehicles are depreciated over their useful life<br />

(normally 3 – 5 years).<br />

Derivatives<br />

derivative f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments are reported under the<br />

positions other assets or other liabilities. The positive<br />

and negative replacement values are reported <strong>in</strong> the<br />

balance sheet as gross figures and valued at fair value.<br />

If <strong>in</strong>terest rate bus<strong>in</strong>ess positions are hedged with<br />

derivatives, the difference between the fair value<br />

valuation and the accrual method is reported <strong>in</strong> the<br />

compensation account.<br />

Repurchase and reverse repurchase transactions<br />

(Repo transactions)<br />

Repo transactions are used to ref<strong>in</strong>ance and fund money<br />

market transactions. They are entered <strong>in</strong> the balance<br />

sheet as advances aga<strong>in</strong>st collateral and cash contributions<br />

Securities which have been borrowed or accepted as<br />

collateral are only recorded <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet if the<br />

bank ga<strong>in</strong>s control of the contractual rights conta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong><br />

these securities. Securities lent or provided as collateral<br />

are only taken off the balance sheet if the bank loses<br />

the contractual rights associated with these securities.<br />

The market values of the securities which have been<br />

either borrowed or lent are monitored daily so that<br />

additional collateral can be provided or requested<br />

where necessary.<br />

sheet at the value of the repayment amount. Non-securitized<br />

subord<strong>in</strong>ated debt is reported at the nom<strong>in</strong>al<br />

value.<br />

Value adjustments and provisions<br />

In accordance with prudent account<strong>in</strong>g practice, specific<br />

value adjustments and provisions are made for all<br />

identifiable risks. To cover latent default risks, which,<br />

as experience has shown, exist <strong>in</strong> a loan portfolio, portfolio<br />

value provisions are also made based on a systematic<br />

approach. Value adjustments are offset directly<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st the correspond<strong>in</strong>g asset position. Provisions<br />

are formed for uncerta<strong>in</strong> liabilities and for threatened<br />

losses which are likely or certa<strong>in</strong> on the balance sheet<br />

report<strong>in</strong>g date, but whose level or date of occurrence<br />

is uncerta<strong>in</strong>. Provisions are reported under the same<br />

name <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet.<br />

Taxes<br />

Taxes accru<strong>in</strong>g to the result for the period under review<br />

are recorded as expenses <strong>in</strong> the account<strong>in</strong>g period <strong>in</strong><br />

which the correspond<strong>in</strong>g profit has occurred. For value<br />

adjustments and provisions recognized and entered<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st tax only, a provision for deferred taxes is made<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st the profit and loss account. Taxes are calculated<br />

on the basis of the estimated rates for actual taxation.<br />

Provisions for general bank<strong>in</strong>g risks<br />

Provisions for general bank<strong>in</strong>g risks are formed to hedge<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st latent risks <strong>in</strong> the bank’s operat<strong>in</strong>g activities.


Risk management<br />

The risk policy complies with <strong>in</strong>ternal requirements and<br />

guidel<strong>in</strong>es, Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> <strong>Bank</strong><strong>in</strong>g Law, FMA communiqué<br />

no. 10/2009 “Risk-compatible capital adequacy<br />

requirements, risk management and control”, the risk<br />

management guidel<strong>in</strong>es of the Swiss <strong>Bank</strong>ers Association<br />

and the pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of the Basel Committee on<br />

<strong>Bank</strong><strong>in</strong>g Supervision.<br />

The Board of Directors has overall responsibility for<br />

implement<strong>in</strong>g risk policy. Whereas the functions of risk<br />

management are allocated to operational units, the<br />

Executive Board is responsible for overall risk control.<br />

The <strong>in</strong>dependent Risk Controll<strong>in</strong>g Department monitors<br />

compliance with the issued provisions.<br />

Market risks<br />

The bank’s bus<strong>in</strong>ess activities mean that it is ma<strong>in</strong>ly<br />

exposed to risks associated with <strong>in</strong>terest rate changes<br />

and share price and foreign currency fluctuations.<br />

Whereas the Trad<strong>in</strong>g Committee is responsible for controll<strong>in</strong>g<br />

risks result<strong>in</strong>g from trad<strong>in</strong>g activities, the Asset<br />

and Liability Committee is responsible for controll<strong>in</strong>g<br />

the risks associated with changes <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest rates.<br />

These bodies restrict the risk positions by means of<br />

volume and sensitivity guidel<strong>in</strong>e limits. An analysis of<br />

the aggregate risks and the simulation of worst-case<br />

scenarios are carried out on a regular basis.<br />

Credit risks<br />

Lend<strong>in</strong>g activities are primarily carried out <strong>in</strong> the <strong>in</strong>terbank<br />

market or <strong>in</strong> secured form <strong>in</strong> private client bus<strong>in</strong>ess.<br />

The bank pursues a conservative lend<strong>in</strong>g policy<br />

where the same guidel<strong>in</strong>es are applied for both monetary<br />

loans and guarantee credits. By strict limitation of<br />

the default risks, the formation of cluster and country<br />

risks is also countered. An <strong>in</strong>ternal rat<strong>in</strong>g procedure is<br />

applied as an <strong>in</strong>strument for efficient risk management<br />

and risk-adjusted calculation of conditions. Detailed<br />

report<strong>in</strong>g ensures that the Executive Board is constantly<br />

<strong>in</strong>formed about develop<strong>in</strong>g risks.<br />

Operational risks<br />

The operational risk is def<strong>in</strong>ed as the risk of loss result<strong>in</strong>g<br />

from <strong>in</strong>adequate or failed <strong>in</strong>ternal processes, people<br />

and systems or from external events. <strong>LGT</strong> Group has<br />

established a Group-wide “Operational Risk Committee“<br />

which provides the Executive Board with support <strong>in</strong> the<br />

early identification of these risks and <strong>in</strong> implement<strong>in</strong>g<br />

appropriate measures. These tasks are based on the<br />

pr<strong>in</strong>ciples stipulated <strong>in</strong> the “Sound Practices for the<br />

Management and Supervision of Operational Risk”<br />

issued by the Basel Committee on <strong>Bank</strong><strong>in</strong>g Supervision.<br />

The set guidel<strong>in</strong>es ensure that risk management takes<br />

suitable care of all risk categories.<br />

Derivative f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments<br />

Interest rate and currency swaps, forward rate agreements,<br />

futures and share options are regularly used to<br />

manage the bank’s own risk positions. With<strong>in</strong> the framework<br />

of client bus<strong>in</strong>ess, foreign currency and precious<br />

metals options are used <strong>in</strong> addition to the aforesaid<br />

<strong>in</strong>struments.<br />

The illustrations <strong>in</strong> this report are details from<br />

Jakob Walter, “Plate XII, title page of volume 12<br />

of the Codex Liechtenste<strong>in</strong>”, 1798<br />

Plate XII, title page of volume 12 of the Codex Liechtenste<strong>in</strong><br />

The fourteen-volume “Hortus Botanicus” is considered to be one of<br />

the most important historical plant catalogs. Botanists spent almost<br />

three decades collect<strong>in</strong>g the plants of Lower Austria and Moravia, the<br />

cultivated agricultural and ornamental plants, as well as greenhouse<br />

flowers, and record<strong>in</strong>g them <strong>in</strong> 2748 lifelike illustrations. Norbert<br />

Boccius (1729–1806), a surgeon <strong>in</strong> Feldsberg, commenced the Codex<br />

Liechtenste<strong>in</strong> (also known as the Hortus Botanicus) together with<br />

other plant artists. Over half of the watercolors were pa<strong>in</strong>ted by the<br />

brothers Joseph (1756–1831), Franz (1758–1840) and Ferd<strong>in</strong>and Bauer<br />

(1760–1826), who were among the most important natural history<br />
