About Merrill Lynch HSBC

Launched in the UK in May 2001, Merrill Lynch HSBC aims to provide a high-quality direct investing and banking service to private investors.

Merrill Lynch HSBC was originally a joint venture between Merrill Lynch, the pre-eminent American investment bank, and HSBC, the global financial services group. They used the skill and resources of both companies to create a product that won the Most Consumer-Friendly Online Broker award at the Investor's Week Online Finance Awards in 2001.

In July 2002, Merrill Lynch HSBC became 100% owned by HSBC, and became a full member of the HSBC Group.

About Charles Stanley

For more than 200 years, the firm that is now Charles Stanley and Company Limited has been serving the private investor - first as bankers, and later as one of the City of London's leading stockbroking houses.

The "Big Bang" stock market revolution in the 1980s led many stockbrokers to ally themselves with large domestic or international investment banks in the pursuit of institutional business.

Charles Stanley refused to follow the herd; not only maintaining its independence and private-client focus, but establishing branch offices in a number of regional centres and introducing a range of services and investment products that is specifically tailored to individual needs, that can be added to and further developed as circumstances change.

Services

Services Charles Stanley offers include the following:
