Barclays Investment Bank

As the investment banking division of Barclays PLC, a transatlantic consumer and wholesale bank with roots dating back to 1690, Barclays Investment Bank provides a full spectrum of financial services. Its core operations include advising on mergers and acquisitions, raising capital for clients through debt and equity underwriting, and offering comprehensive risk management solutions. The division was significantly expanded following the acquisition of the North American operations of Lehman Brothers in 2008, solidifying its position as a leading global investment bank. It serves large corporate, government, and institutional clients through its two main business units: Global Markets and Investment Banking.
