Mark Bailey : Attention to detail and delivery
The Personal Investment Service: Made for you

Mark Bailey

Attention to detail and delivery

Mark Bailey started making guitars at the age of 18. By 1998 he’d set up his own company making guitars in a double-decker bus.


Mark now produces more than 60 guitars a year. Some acoustic, some electric, some built to a performer’s exact requirements. All of them are masterpieces in sound and wood.


Once a month he even gets people to build their dream guitars under his supervision. We can’t claim to be as rock ‘n’ roll, but we do claim the same attention to detail and delivery of a quality product.

Investment Management Services for Court of Protection Clients


We recognise that some of our clients will have been through the trauma of a court action and will need support, reassurance and financial expertise as they face the prospect of an uncertain future. We start by working closely with each of our clients to ensure that we understand his or her special requirements. Then we construct a strategy shaped to an individual's needs to create an environment where the client can live his or her life without the burden of financial worry.

At Charles Stanley we have a team with over 20 years' experience in this field. It has formed excellent working relationships with the Court of Protection, solicitors and the various offices involved. These relationships enable the team to follow the correct procedures and, despite the complications that can arise, ensure matters flow smoothly and efficiently.

The team has an established track record in investment management and administration. It is able to draw on the substantial resources of Charles Stanley in a wide variety of areas, including research, pensions and financial planning.

The CF Charles Stanley UK & International
Growth Fund
has been set up to take advantage of recent changes to the Capital Gains Tax (CGT) regime in the UK.

Complementing the existing Charles Stanley range of OEIC's the Fund provides an ideal investment vehicle for investors with a long-term investment horizon, typical of Court of Protection and Damages Awards cases.
