Every structured solution requires a combination of creative structuring, local capital markets expertise, and client insight. Barclays Capital works closely with its clients to identify optimal investment and hedging strategies across the global marketplace and applies analytical rigor in its analysis and design of product structures.

Barclays Capital has dedicated structuring teams to provide client-specific solutions. We work with institutional investors and hedge funds to create structured investments adapted to various legal and market risk considerations and optimise the performance objectives of their portfolios. We have a team that will study individual client needs in respect of asset and liability side issues, with the aim of creating bespoke solutions to their specific funding and risk management requirements.

To meet the particular needs and requirements of insurance companies and pension funds we have created a range of customised solutions including asset and liability profile analyses and studies on asset allocation optimisation. Institutional clients have access to derivative-enhanced share repurchase and buyback programs, as well as financing and hedging of cross-holdings and structures to hedge financial exposure to employee share option plans.

Specialist geographically-focused teams concentrate on private banking and retail distribution network needs. We have a fully integrated structured approach that provides access to an extensive selection of product types, underlyings and asset classes. Insightful educational materials, clear documentation, and ongoing post-trade service provide clients with tools when making investment decisions.
