About Us
What We Are
Speirs & Jeffrey is an independent private client stockbroking and investment management firm. We aim to provide personal, clear advice and successful investment management to private clients, families, trusts, charities and pension funds. From our office in Glasgow we advise clients throughout the UK and also overseas. Our success as a business is entirely dependant on how well we serve our clients. In 2006 the firm celebrated its 100th anniversary. We continue to grow.
What We Do
Speirs & Jeffrey provides advisory and discretionary investment management services to a wide range of private clients, families, trusts, charities and pension funds. We offer a bespoke service based on having a thorough understanding of our clients' investment objectives, personal circumstances and risk tolerance. So as to avoid any potential conflicts of interest, we do not operate in-house funds. We also avoid model portfolios and buy and sell lists. Each client is given individual attention by one of our experienced advisers. We seek to invest clients' money as carefully as if it were our own.
In December 2007 we re-established our presence in the institutional market. S&J Securities provides dedicated research to a small group of investment houses.

What Makes Us Different
We take pride in our independence and take care to avoid any conflicts of interest in providing our services. We seek to build long term relationships with our clients. In many cases these endure over generations. In nurturing client relationships we have the advantage of having a very stable and loyal staff.
We do not jump on every investment bandwagon that passes our way. We are receptive to new ideas but always seek to ensure that these are sufficiently robust to stand the test of time.
Although we serve clients throughout the whole of the UK and in 52 countries we operate from one office in Glasgow. Having a single base means that we are able to take decisions quickly and implement them effectively.
