Investment services

We give you versatility and a choice of services to suit your goals and approach to investment.

Your Private Banker will introduce you to a dedicated investment advisor who will ensure you are backed by the full power of Barclays. And we will use our pioneering wealth philosophy (based on behavioural psychology) to better understand your risk appetite and preferences.

You can choose how to invest with us. If you prefer to delegate investment management, we’ll create the right portfolios overseen by a dedicated specialist. If you'd like more control but to still be backed by our market-leading advice and support, then our advisory services could be for you. Alternatively, if you're a professional investor, you may want full control.

You also have access to our expert Wealth Planners and partners, who will help to navigate the complex world of tax across different jurisdictions and asset classes.

Our different investment options are described below.

Please note: investments can fall as well as rise in value. Your capital may be at risk.
