Welcome to Barclays Investments

Whether you’re a beginner, an expert or somewhere in between, we can help you make the most of your money.

We know investing can seem daunting but you don’t have to do it all on your own. Drawing on our 300 years of investing experience, we’ve got three ways to start investing. You can make it as simple or as complex as you want it to be.

If you’re still deciding if investing is right for you, understanding the benefits and drawbacks of cash savings vs investing is a great place to start.

The value of investments can fall as well as rise. You may not get back what you invest. On this page, we’ll help you understand more about our investment services and help you decide which one is right for you. You won’t find personal financial advice here, so if you’re not sure about investing, seek independent advice.

Info
Your employer is enrolled in our Employer Reporting Service

To help you adhere to your firm’s reporting requirements, our reporting service automatically and securely sends all relevant account and investment information directly to your employer on your behalf.

You can set this up online once you are logged into your account by selecting ‘Manage account’ then ‘Employer Reporting Service’. Alternatively you can request this by calling the Customer Services team on 0800 279 36671.

Please be aware that we take no responsibility for monitoring investor activity. It's the investor's responsibility to set up reporting on all applicable accounts.

*Transferring ISAs doesn’t affect their tax-efficient status. Tax rules can change in future and their effects on you will depend on your individual circumstances.

Before transferring investments, find out about any charges, exit penalties, benefits you may lose, or investments that you can’t transfer to us here.
