History

The company was founded by Derek Tullett in 1971 as a foreign exchange broker trading as Tullett & Riley.{{cite web|url=http://www.tullettprebon.com/investor_about.aspx|title=Tullett Prebon Interdealer Broking History|work=tullettprebon.com|access-date=3 April 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080809025742/http://www.tullettprebon.com/investor_about.aspx|archive-date=9 August 2008}} During the 1970s and 1980s, it opened a number of overseas offices and started its own computer graphical analysis company of financial futures, options and FX rates (Futrend Ltd). In 1999 the Company merged with Liberty Brokerage to create Tullett Liberty.
In early 2003, the company was bought by Collins Stewart plc, a financial services company, creating Collins Stewart Tullett plc. In October 2004, the company acquired Prebon Yamane, a broking business formed in 1990 following the merger of three leading London-based money broking businesses (Babcock & Brown, Kirkland-Whittaker and Fulton Prebon) and had adopted that name in acknowledgement of the firm's close business alliance with the Tokyo-based Yamane Group. In December 2006, the group separated into two separate entities: Collins Stewart (stockbroking) and Tullett Prebon (moneybroking).{{cite web|url=http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article743386.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110612080506/http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/industry_sectors/banking_and_finance/article743386.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 12, 2011|title=Login|work=The Times|access-date=3 April 2015}} The company acquired Chapdelaine, a US broker, in January 2007 and integrated the business into its existing operations.{{cite web|url=http://www.marketwatch.com/news/story/tullett-prebon-profit-halves-sees/story.aspx?guid=%7B9AA06AD8-2FD7-452B-8CF0-55BB94BBE612%7D&dateid=39335.0979228241-904734668|title=Tullett Prebon profit halves, sees current market as ideal|author=Simon Kennedy|work=MarketWatch|access-date=3 April 2015}}
In September 2012, the company was asked to help the Financial Services Authority's investigation into malpractice across the City of London, with particular interest in the LIBOR interest rate fixing. In 2014, Terry Smith, chief executive of Tullett Prebon PLC, left the London-based brokerage firm to work full-time at the privately owned asset-management firm that he started in 2010.{{cite web|url=https://online.wsj.com/articles/tullett-prebon-ceo-plans-to-leave-firm-as-soon-as-this-month-1401792804|title=Tullett Prebon CEO Plans to Leave Firm As Soon As This Month|author=Jenny Strasburg|date=3 June 2014|work=WSJ|access-date=3 April 2015}} He was succeeded by John Phizackerley in September 2014.
