They're a wealth management company, not a payments company, so it's hard to imagine why they would need a public lightning node.
Payment channels can also be private over dark networks for settlement between partners, even if they did run a node you'd probably never be aware of it.
A large allocation to public LN would be done through subsidiaries running economic nodes. It would be distributed and appear almost organic.
