Capital protection for overseas residents

We can work with you to help structure your wealth in a way that gives you the protection you want. We can help you diversify your assets to spread risk, or help you to think about trusts to protect your wealth here in the UK and overseas. We may be able to introduce you to tax experts to help you manage efficiently your current and future tax liabilities.

We will also try to help you find a balance of protection and flexibility. Protecting your wealth needs in a way that doesn‘t cause its own problems such as, barring you from access to your capital for fixed periods when you may need access to it.

Private investment banking facilities

Barclays Wealth International can arrange a comprehensive investment management service covering a full range of investment products and strategies.

We can match you to a personal investment management team that will work with you and your Private Banker to tailor a portfolio to your investment goals.

We take an independent approach to investment recommendations to bring you the most appropriate products in the market, whether they are from the Barclays Group or third parties.

And through our links with our sister companies in the Barclays Group, we can bring you solutions and products normally only available to large institutions - but only if it‘s best for you.
