About Charles Stanley

For more than 200 years, the firm that is now Charles Stanley and Company Limited has been serving the private investor - first as bankers, and later as one of the City of London's leading stockbroking houses.

The "Big Bang" stock market revolution in the 1980s led many stockbrokers to ally themselves with large domestic or international investment banks in the pursuit of institutional business.

Charles Stanley refused to follow the herd; not only maintaining its independence and private-client focus, but establishing branch offices in a number of regional centres and introducing a range of services and investment products that is specifically tailored to individual needs, that can be added to and further developed as circumstances change.
