Swaine Adeney : Considered way of doing business
The Personal Investment Service: Made for you

Swaine Adeney

Considered way of doing business

In 1750 James Swaine bought a whip making business in Piccadilly, and a royal appointment to King George III quickly followed.


Over the next century the reputation and product range expanded and Swaine found himself providing bags and umbrellas to the aristocracy of the day.


Today the company still uses time-honoured crafting processes for producing fine attaché cases and leather bags.


At Charles Stanley we admire this considered way of doing business and like to think that our suit approach to financial planning puts us in the same company.

Our Services for Charities, Charitable Trusts and Foundations


Our Charity team has earned a reputation over the years for meeting the investment needs of charities of all sizes. As at 31st December 2008 we had in excess of £600 million of charity funds under management. Charles Stanley's long experience in the charities sector has also led to our becoming a member of the Charities Aid Foundation's panel of approved advisers.

We aim to provide the highest level of advice and support to charity trustees; to cut through the investment jargon and to provide you with comprehensive service, specific to your charity's needs. Our approach to charity investment is to develop a sensible, pragmatic investment strategy, at the heart of which is your relationship with your Investment Manager. As managers of your portfolio, we take a long term view, focusing on high quality investment opportunities which should also weather periods of market weakness.
