We are the first foreign bank to have set up in Luxembourg, one of the world's leading markets. Initially a commercial bank, we quickly developed our securities business and now constitute one of the main pillars of the Private Banking division of Société Générale group.
Today, SGBT is a multi-business bank in the service of a global and diversified client base.
Originally a commercial bank, SGBT offers are tailored to local businesses and major international groups alike and are designed to accompany them throughout their lives. Our customised offers aim to cover all of a company's needs, however diverse, from the day-to-day management of flows to advice on setting up in Luxembourg or to the implementation of structured loans. Moreover, above and beyond our local expertise, we are also able to draw upon the vast international network of Société Générale Group's Corporate and Investment Banking arm.
Our Luxembourg entity benefited enormously from the acquisition of Unicredit's securities business by Société Générale at the start of 2006. Today, it ranks amongst the leaders on its market, in terms of both its depository and fund management services.
Our particularly dynamic trading floor serves our business, institutional and individual clients alike.
Furthermore, our expertise in structured products is used by SG Private Banking around the world. Combining innovation and creativity, our structured vehicle specialists are able to define personalised strategies thanks to a wide range of asset classes (equities, fixed income, funds, foreign exchange, commodities, real estate, etc.).
SG Private Banking was also voted the "World's Best Private Bank" for its structured products offer by the finance journal, Euromoney, for the third year running in 2007.
