Barclays Capital

Barclays Capital is the investment banking business of Barclays, providing strategic advisory, financing, capital markets, trading, research, and risk management services to corporate, government, and institutional clients worldwide. The brand is commonly used interchangeably with Barclays Investment Bank, which is the current operating name used by Barclays for its investment banking franchise. Its core activities span investment banking, global markets, research, and international corporate banking rather than drug development or healthcare products. While Barclays is active in healthcare as an industry coverage and conference vertical, Barclays Capital itself is a financial institution and not a life sciences, biotech, pharma, or healthcare operating company.
