Collins Stewart launches stand alone Fund Management business and rebrands Wealth Management
Collins Stewart announces the launch of a stand alone fund management business, Collins Stewart Fund Management and, the rebranding of its Wealth Management business, Collins Stewart Wealth Management.
Launch of Collins Stewart Fund Management
Collins Stewart Fund Management (www.collinsstewartfunds.com) is an independent, active and multi-disciplined investment manager focused on delivering investors high quality investment returns. We offer two ranges of funds 1) Multi-Manager, and 2) Specialist. The group has 10 Multi-Manager funds managed by one of the largest multi-manager teams in the UK, Channel Islands and Isle of Man, consisting of over 20 experienced fund specialists. We have a long and successful track record, and have been a longstanding investor in alternative assets. Our focused range of Specialist funds are managed by a collection of talented fund managers.
Neil Darke, Head of Collins Stewart Wealth Management and Collins Stewart Fund Management said:
“The creation of a separate identity for Collins Stewart Fund Management is a significant step for us. For too long, we have hidden some excellent Funds’ stories. We believe now it is time we invested in this business."
“We have one of the UK’s largest and most experienced multi-manager teams, with a long and successful track record of delivering returns in different market conditions, courtesy of our bias towards absolute total return. We are confident we can compete successfully in the currently popular multi-manager arena. We also believe we have something different to offer in our focused range of specialist funds.”
Rebranding of Collins Stewart Wealth Management
Collins Stewart Wealth Management (www.collinsstewartwealth.com) offer preservation and growth through excellence, every day. We manage and administer in excess of £4bn of assets on behalf of valued private clients, intermediaries, charities and institutions through our range of sophisticated investment services, including portfolio management, stockbroking and investment funds via an international network of offices. We aim to preserve capital in falling markets and maximise returns on a risk-adjusted basis in rising markets, with a bias towards producing absolute total returns. Collins Stewart Wealth Management strongly believes that successful investing requires both a disciplined and systematic approach and innovative thinking to help navigate increasingly complex global financial markets. Our long-standing use of alternative asset classes has been key to meeting these objectives. We also have the advantage of using Quest™ - a unique proprietary stock research tool, which forms the backbone of Collins Stewart plc’s independent, world-class institutional services. Quest™ is backed by an experienced team of professionals, is fully integrated across Collins Stewart and is tailored by Collins Stewart Wealth Management for the benefit of its clients.
Neil Darke, Head of Collins Stewart Wealth Management and Collins Stewart Fund Management said:
“The investment in the rebranding of the Collins Stewart Wealth Management illustrates our commitment to growing our wealth management business. Collins Stewart is primarily known for its stockbroking and Aim fund raising business, yet we have an excellent wealth – and fund – management offering which deserves a wider audience. The rebranding is the first step on our journey to raise awareness of these businesses.”
The new visual metaphor for Collins Stewart Wealth Management emphasises our focus on preserving and growing wealth – through ‘ice’ (preservation) and ‘a flower’ (growth) respectively. The orchid has been selected to reflect the ‘unique’ investment services offered to clients and all imagery is bespoke reflecting our highly personalised client service.
