Case Study: LGT Group uncovers malpractice and reduces reputational risk with ACTICO MAID

LGT Bank in Liechtenstein AG uses MAID to detect market abuse and insider dealing

LGT Group, Europe’s largest family‑owned private banking and asset management group, needed to go beyond manual Excel‑based checks to meet Liechtenstein’s Market Abuse Act and proactively detect market abuse, insider dealing and malpractice in employee personal account dealing and proprietary trading, while ensuring audit‑proof documentation and transparency across complex security master data. To address these requirements, LGT selected ACTICO’s MAID (Market Abuse / Insider Dealing Detection) solution.

ACTICO implemented MAID—based on Visual Rules—and integrated it with LGT’s securities, associate and trading systems to provide automated 24‑hour monitoring, electronic clarification workflows and historized audit trails. The deployment reduced daily investigation hits from about 120 to 20, cut data‑preparation effort by roughly 50%, expanded monitoring scenarios and watch/restricted list management, standardized documentation for audits and materially reduced reputational risk, all delivered by ACTICO within a 14‑month project timeline.
