Collins Stewart Europe Ltd. (CSE) is the wholly-owned wealth management subsidiary of Collins Stewart Hawkpoint plc (LSE: CSHP) in Great Britain. Established in 1991 in partnership with Singer & Friedlander, the firm 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 group's wealth management division has offices in London, Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man and provides stockbroking 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 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.
