Institutional products available to individuals
Our relationship management experience coupled with the product expertise of Barclays Capital and Barclays Global Investors provides a unique proposition for our customers.
We often talk about the global trends that are shaping our industry. One of these trends is the creation and transfer of wealth, and especially the ‘new’ wealth being generated by entrepreneurs, and alternative approaches to capital market investment such as private equity and hedge funds.
High net worth clients are some of the most sophisticated in the world, and Barclays Wealth is specially set up to meet this demand. We can provide them with the complex products they want, wherever they are in the world, whether it’s investment management, private banking, brokerage and trading services, financial and tax planning, or pensions advice. Already the UK’s leading wealth manager, Barclays Wealth is managing over £130 billion of client assets, with nearly 7,000 staff in 20 countries. One of the keys to this success has been our ability to draw on the world-class investment banking and asset management expertise in other parts of the Group to develop specialist bespoke services for Barclays Wealth clients.
Flexibility is always important to these clients: some want to manage their own investments through online trading; others prefer a more hands-on advisory service, based on a close personal relationship with their account manager. Either way, we can apply the products, skills and experience of Barclays Capital and Barclays Global Investors to provide something that’s unmatched anywhere else in the market.
