BARX, Barclays Capital's award winning multi-asset class trading platform, has won another three awards. At last week's Profit & Loss magazine's Digital FX Awards ceremony, Barclays Capital won:

• Best Multi-Product Platform
• 2008 White Label Award
• Best Structured Products Platform (for second consecutive year)

Commenting on the awards, Profit & Loss said:

Best Multi-Product Platform: "Our prize goes to Barclays Capital for BARX, which continues to be a standout solution… Barclays Capital has built the ultimate electronic trading platform..."

White Label Award: "This is the first time Barclays has won this award… BARX... is setting a new high water mark for this space... As it evolves further we would expect to see more asset classes added to this platform..."

Best Structured Products Platform: "…other platforms still have some way to go before they catch up with BARX Investor Solutions, which supports foreign exchange structured products and much more… It should come as no surprise to read that Barclays Capital has not only developed a very flexible, innovative and intuitive tool - but critical to its evolution, it continues to enhance BARX Investor Solutions and thus stay ahead of the field."

These awards are further recognition of BARX and reaffirms our position as a leading provider of electronic trading solutions across asset classes to our clients.
