The Chair for Banking and Securities Law was initiated in 2011 by the Propter Homines Foundation. The designated head of the chair is Prof. Dr. Dirk A. Zetzsche, LL.M. (Toronto).

The Propter Homines Chair for Banking and Securities Law deals with all banking and financial market regulatory issues in Liechtenstein, Europe and other important international jurisdictions. A key research interest of the Chair is the law of asset and wealth management. This includes the regulation of individual wealth management, asset management through collective investment schemes, pension and occupational funds as well as related topics in banking and insurance law (eg.g. investment strategies by and for insurance companies, the laws of depositaries and custodian banks, etc.). Additional research areas are commercial banking law (esp. loan collateralization), bank capitalization (CRD/Basle III), corporate law with an emphasis on listed companies and financial market regulation with a specialization on all aspects of the European passport.

These research areas are dealt in the Bachelor of Business Administration, the Master for Banking and Financial Management and in the specialized Executive Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Banking and Securities Law.

The Propter Homines Chair for Banking and Securities Law organizes conferences called "Liechtensteiner Fondstag" (Liechtenstein Funds Day) twice a year. Approximately four times a year, the Chair organizes the "Liechtensteinisches Fondsforum" (Liechtenstein Funds Forum) in which topicalities of collective investment schemes are analyzed and discussed. Furthermore, the event series "Forum Aktuelle Entwicklungen Bank- und Finanzmarktrecht" (Forum on Recent Developments in Banking and Securities Law) is another cornerstone of the Propter Homines Chair for Banking and Securities Law.
