Barclays Wealth offers podcasts

Barclays Wealth has launched a number of podcasts designed to guide international investors through financial matters and enable them to make informed decisions. The podcasts are specifically aimed at people living and working in a foreign country and aim to help them make the often daunting financial decisions they are faced with when moving to a new country.

The podcasts, which can be accessed via www.barclays.com/internationalpersonal/podcasts, will focus on a number of areas facing international investors. The podcasts comprise:

A guide for international professionals living in the UK with tips on how they can make the most of their wealth while working away from home

An outline of the options that are available to international investors looking to buy a UK home or investment property

A guide aimed at enabling them to protect and maximise their wealth in a foreign country

A guide to structured products, designed to simplify the concept of these investments and describe their benefits, such as capital protection

Peter Horrell, Barclays Wealth, comments, “We are delighted to have launched the Barclays Wealth podcasts. Moving to a new country can be daunting and with the immediate pressures of relocating and working in a different environment, financial matters are often an added pressure. By talking to our clients it has become apparent that they do not have time to read through reams of information and scour the Internet in order to decide on the issues facing them, from purchasing a home to investing wisely. By launching the Barclays Wealth podcasts we aim to provide clear and consistent information to international investors to enable them to make informed decisions.”
