Sir David Howard, chairman of Charles Stanley, said: "It is disappointing to have to report a loss before tax of £3.9 million and a reduced underlying profit before tax of £1.5 million, not least because this does not reflect the good progress achieved in many areas of the Group.
"I am delighted that Paul Abberley has accepted the Board’s invitation to succeed me as Chief Executive of Charles Stanley, having previously been CEO of Aviva Investors London," he added.
