History

Tilney was founded in 1836 in Liverpool as a company for dealing in stocks and shares.[9] In 2014 it was merged with Bestinvest with the backing of investment group Permira. [10][11]

Smith & Williamson was founded in 1881 in Glasgow, by David Johnstone Smith and Andrew Williamson.[12]

In 2020 Tilney merged with Smith & Williamson to create the Tilney Smith & Williamson group[13][14] in a transaction backed by existing investor Permira and private equity firm Warburg Pincus.[15]

In 2022 the company rebranded to Evelyn Partners, retaining Bestinvest as a separate brand ("Bestinvest by Evelyn Partners").[16]
