UK investment market
Barclays Wealth is the UK's leading wealth manager and serves affluent, high net worth and intermediary clients worldwide. We give you access to an unrivalled pool of investment talent, and we offer a suite of products and services that can be tailored to your requirements.
For example, our Multi-Manager portfolios spread your money across different asset types and fund managers. We draw on the expertise of fund managers from some of the world's top investment management companies, and we constantly survey the market, skilfully selecting and blending the managers we consider are likely to perform well in the future.
Beyond this, our clients can use a range of investments designed by Barclays Wealth such as structured notes, which pay a return linked to an asset or index. We also offer foreign exchange services such as margin trading, limit orders, OTC options and dual currency deposits1.
UK investment advice
We offer you complete flexibility in how your investment strategy is deployed. If you have a keen and active interest in financial markets, we can adopt an advisory approach in which you become part of the investment management team. Alternatively, we can adopt a discretionary approach, in which our team takes all of the day-to-day decisions for you.
We are happy to work with the exact level of involvement that suits you.
UK investment funds
Selecting the right manager or fund with an appropriate investment strategy and good track record is time-consuming as there are at least 2,000 funds to choose from.
Barclays Wealth has done that work for you by developing a set of Multi-Manager funds, where our in-house experts carefully select from managers and funds across the market to offer you a range of investment portfolios to choose from.
In short, you benefit from a choice of products to suit your preferences, and the confidence of anticipating potential healthy returns from expertly managed funds.
Our fund managers employ investment techniques designed to ensure diversification across asset classes, markets, sectors and investment styles. This means that we can identify a range of investments that exactly matches your own risk appetite.
Investment management services
Barclays Wealth provides a range of investment services to suit your level of engagement. We can work on an execution-only basis, so that you you make all the decisions and we simply conduct the transactions.

Finally, we can work on a managed basis, in which our teams make all of the day-to-day decisions.
For those with more complex needs, we offer a Relationship Manager. This service is designed for those with £50,000 (or currency equivalent) deposited with us or an annual income of at least £100,000.
