Culture & History

With a distinctive business model, Barclays Wealth aims to be the premier European Wealth Manager, attracting clients through world class product, innovative solutions and outstanding service. Barclays Wealth was recently named the leading wealth manager for the second consecutive year by PAM Directory 2006.

Today, wealth is increasingly global and, with European and Asian economies growing rapidly, there are more affluent families than ever before. Yet the wealth management industry is still emerging, with many countries experiencing fragmented markets with few leaders. That means very few affluent clients are actually receiving the standards of financial guidance they expect and deserve. As one of the few global brands with an end-to-end wealth offering, Barclays Wealth is in a strong position to become a dominant player in the field. Our private banking operation focuses on areas ranging from cash management to providing sophisticated investment products. In particular, our vision of private banking goes far beyond simply providing deposit accounts or loan services.

Our private banking operation focuses on areas ranging from cash management to providing bespoke structured products. In particular, our vision of private banking goes far beyond simply providing deposit accounts or loan services. We see the role of a Private Banker as that of a “wealth coach”, helping our clients realise their financial ambition whilst managing their risk at the same time. Our Private Bankers are supported by Private Banking Executives, who assist in acquiring, servicing and retaining clients to deliver overall business goals

Our teams are more than just ‘bankers’. They are qualified experts who come from backgrounds in key professions such as law, accountancy, financial services or consultancy. Many have international experience or have been successful entrepreneurs.

We match our clients with bankers whose backgrounds and professional qualifications are relevant to their needs. We look at the broader picture to ensure that the team will be able to understand their clients’ aspirations, motivations and needs, and respond accordingly.

Just as there is no such thing as a typical client, there is no such thing as a typical private banker.
