Leading private bank elevates execution strategy with advanced TCA capabilities, automation and deep customisation

9am London BST, 19 May, 2026 – xyt, provider of the market-leading independent Trading Data Intelligence Platform, today announced that LGT, the international private banking and asset management group controlled by the Liechtenstein Princely Family, has selected xyt's platform to drive a significant step-change in how the firm analyses and optimises its trading performance.

While regulatory compliance served as the initial catalyst, LGT's adoption of xyt has evolved well beyond meeting minimum requirements. The partnership has enabled the bank to take a more strategic, data-driven view of execution quality, using TCA insights to actively inform and refine trading strategy at an institutional level.

Elevating Execution Intelligence

xyt’s Trading Data Intelligence Platform provides LGT with granular analytics that deliver a richer, more nuanced understanding of trading performance across portfolios. The platform enables execution quality benchmarking, helps identify areas for improvement and supports more informed decisions about how and where trades are executed.

Increased automation within the platform also reduces reliance on manual outlier detection, helping to free up resources while improving both the speed and accuracy of analysis.

A Partnership Built on Responsiveness and Trust

Central to the collaboration has been xyt's ability to respond quickly and effectively to complex, bespoke customisation requests - a critical requirement for an institution of LGT's scale and sophistication. Complementing this has been proactive, high-quality customer support that has enabled the two organisations to build a strong collaborative relationship from the outset.

"LGT is exactly the kind of forward-thinking institution that recognises the true potential of transaction cost analysis as a strategic tool, not just a compliance obligation. We are proud to support their ambition to elevate execution performance and look forward to continuing to grow this partnership." Robin Mess, CEO, xyt.

"The depth and quality of xyt's market data coverage underpins our entire approach to execution analysis, it is the foundation upon which the BestEx outlier process and TCA reporting are built.", stated Michael Riegler, Head Equities & Derivatives Trading, LGT. "Beyond the platform itself, xyt has proven to be a highly responsive and adaptable partner. Their flexibility during implementation and proactive client engagement have delivered real operational value for our team." further stated Fabian Burger, Senior Expert Business Risk Management LGT.
