Chief executive Paul Abberley remarked: “2017 was a year of significant progress at Charles Stanley with our transformation programme delivering increased profitability, more satisfied clients and improved staff engagement.
“Looking ahead, our aim remains to become the UK’s leading wealth manager by 2020,” he continued.
“While there is much speculation about the impact of Brexit on the financial services industry, we are confident that Charles Stanley, which has been at the heart of the City for over two centuries and weathered many storms, will continue successfully to serve our clients.”
