Non resident UK wealth management

Private wealth management and premium UK banking services for non residents

Our wealth management services offer security and peace of mind for your entire personal finance.

While investment growth plays its part in traditional UK wealth management, there is a strong emphasis upon wealth preservation. In particular, the intention that the wealth and assets you have accumulated should be passed on in accordance with your wishes.

Such an aim means a personal relationship is a prerequisite for true wealth management. You will be assigned a Relationship Manager, who may be London-based but whose reach on your behalf is global.

To qualify you must deposit and maintain a balance of £50,000 or more (or currency equivalent) in cash or investments with us; or, if you have come to live in or are moving to the UK, deposit an annual individual gross income of £150,000 or more (or currency equivalent) into Barclays international bank accounts.

Barclays international banking is part of the Barclays Group - one of the world's top financial institutions whose roots go back to 17th century London.

This heritage means that we have the understanding and experience to deliver premium financial services for the most discerning clients.

Private wealth management

The concept of private wealth management may be a venerable one, but it has developed with the times while retaining its fundamental principle of discretion.

This involves the organisation of the ownership, management and distribution of your assets using investment specialists working with you to develop a strategy that will meet your aspirations.

Wealth management services

Your Relationship Manager and bank account are at the heart of a service that includes the whole array of financial services provision. So, alongside investment management, insurance and pensions, estate planning is used to ensure that your wealth is protected and that your wishes are carried out as to its distribution.

Trusts, whether ultimately controlled by yourself or an independent trustee, are key tools of estate planning. They are structured to ensure protection from tax and the distribution of your assets in the manner you wish.

Whilst we can help structure and operate trusts and other wealth vehicles, we do not provide tax advice. We have the ability to work with your tax advisers. Alternatively, we can introduce you to our preferred international financial services firm, Ernst & Young.

Global wealth management

Although London-based, Barclays wealth and investment management manages £164bn of assets of clients who are based around the world.

Our international expertise means we can effectively service the needs of people living temporarily in the UK as well as those working, living and retiring outside the UK. The goal is to provide a safe home for your wealth in the UK or offshore.
