History
editThe firm was established as a firm of stockbrokers by Thomas Tilney in 1836.[3]
Permira agreed to buy Tilney from Deutsche Bank, in February 2014, with the ambition of creating a wealth manager with £9 billion of assets.[4] After completion of the deal in May 2014 Bestinvest and Tilney combined to create Tilney Bestinvest.[5]
Tilney acquired Smith & Williamson with backing from Warburg Pincus in 2019.[6] and the combined company was renamed Tilney Smith & Williamson in 2020.[7]
In February 2022 the merged company Tilney Smith & Williamson, owned by private equity funds Permira and Warburg Pincus, was re-branded as Evelyn Partners.[8][9][10]
