History[]
The business was founded by William Rathbone II by 1742 as a Liverpool-based timber trading business.[3] In the 19th century it became a leading trader in cotton from the United States and in 1841 it became the Liverpool agent for the East India Company.[3] In 1912 it abandoned its trading operations and focused on financial management,[3] initially for the Rathbone family, but subsequently for the general public. In 1988 it merged with Comprehensive Financial Services Ltd to form Rathbone Brothers plc[3] and thereby secured a listing on the London Stock Exchange.[4]
