Collins Stewart Europe Ltd. (Investment Management) (CSE-IM) is the investment management division of Collins Stewart Europe Ltd., the wholly-owned wealth management subsidiary of Collins Stewart plc (LSE: CLST), a leading independent stockbroker in Great Britain. CSE was established in 1991 in partnership with Singer & Friedlander and became independent in 2000 through a management buyout. Following the 2005 acquisition of Prebon, the inter-dealer broker activity developed and was demerged in 2006 as Tullett Prebon plc (LSE: TLPR). CSE, regrouping the brokerage and asset management activities, underwent a reverse acquisition by Collins Stewart plc. The wealth management division has offices in London, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man and provides stock broking and investment management services on a discretionary, advisory or pure execution basis. Their clients are private individuals, trusts, charities, institutions including pension funds and private companies in Great Britain and overseas. Located in London, CSE-IM operates in close relationship with their offshore subsidiary Collins Stewart (CI) Ltd, registered in Guernsey. The firm manages segregated accounts, structured portfolios, pooled products including a Dublin-domiciled umbrella fund, and alternative strategies.
