As the CEO, Michael Chisholm is responsible for leading all aspects of our business. Since he joined the finance industry in 1992, Michael’s career has taken him from Sydney to London to New York in a succession of pivotal management roles. Now back in Australia, he provides leadership and support to a team of 300 at LGT Wealth Management.
In his 19 years with UBS, Michael held a series of key positions in London, Sydney, Stamford and New York-encompassing finance, chief risk officer, chief operating officer, and most recently, Managing Director and Head of UBS Wealth Management.
In 2015, Michael joined forces with fellow UBS peers to establish LGT Wealth Management, an owner-operated wealth management firm. Combining global research, cutting-edge technology, and best-in-class strategic partners, products and services, LGT Wealth Management delivers a wealth management experience unlike anything Australia has seen before.
For our clients and Michael’s team, the benefits of his broad experience are enormous. Not only are his leadership credentials vastly reassuring, Michael also brings a truly global perspective-and, above all, an appreciation of the qualities that define a superior wealth management experience. Establishing this business has provided Michael with the ultimate opportunity to shape a wealth management firm that can deliver a comprehensive suite of global products and services, but still remain responsive to clients’ changing needs-something distinctly unique in the market.
Of course, the firm is built on more than just infrastructure-culture is crucial too, and it’s here that Michael’s persistent pursuit of a vision is perhaps most powerful. By designing a working environment conducive to collaboration, Michael has set our business up to be a place where committed individuals unite to go above and beyond for the people who matter most-our clients.
