Barclays Wealth Protected Investments
Backed by Barclays Bank
The parlous state of global financial markets and the list of casualties
it has produced, has done little to inspire investor confidence in recent
months. We firmly believe that more than ever, your clients need to be
reassured that the investments they choose reflect value, transparency
and strong financial backing.
All Barclays Wealth protected investments
are backed by our parent company Barclays Bank, which is a AA rated institution.
Given the current focus on financial stability, below are several statements
underlining why your money is safe with Barclays.
Why your money is safe with Barclays
- In line with the announcement on Monday 13th October, the FSA has
confirmed that it's comfortable with Barclays current capital position,
and our future capital plans.
- Barclays was a well-capitalised bank
before the UK Government measures were announced and it's a well-capitalised
bank today.
- Barclays continues to be safe, secure and well-regulated.
- Barclays has been in business for 300 years and in that time we have
shown ourselves to be well able to weather all kinds of market conditions.
- Since 1992, Barclays has consistently held a Standard & Poor's
AA credit rating. You only get this rating from the independent rating
agencies if your business is judged to be of high quality and subject
to very low credit risk.
- We have a strong and diverse business that
offers a wide variety of products and services to both personal and
business customers across more than 50 countries around the world.
- At times like these, customers continue to look to us as a safe
haven in the storm. Our half year results show that even in difficult
times we attract customer deposits. Customer deposits rose by about
£25bn in the first half of the year.
