Barclays Wealth

Size (no. of employees): 7,700

Brief Description of company and its goals: Barclays Wealth is the wealth management division of Barclays Bank plc and is one of the leading wealth managers in the UK. It serves affluent and high net-worth personal and corporate clients with a complete end-to-end wealth management service on a global basis. This includes private banking, brokerage, financial planning and advisory services.
Wealth is increasing globally and creating more affluent individuals and families than ever before. Yet the wealth management industry is still emerging and many countries have fragmented markets with few leaders. That means few clients are receiving the standards of financial guidance they expect and deserve. As one of the first financial organisations to bring all the major wealth management services under one umbrella, we're in a strong position to become a dominant player in the field.
Barclays Wealth is a true meritocracy and has a largely flat structure. For a graduate joining the firm, this means that we will give you as much responsibility as you can handle. You may find yourself in charge of developing new products and services, involved in the development of our client acquisition programme or helping to manage a portfolio of clients and their assets. You will also find yourself working in teams across divisions or even around the world depending on your role. So to succeed you do need an international outlook in addition to your core skills.
