Analyst, Barclays Capital Investment Banking and Debt Capital Markets

Our Analysts fulfill a multitude of roles across the business. To become an Analyst at Barclays Capital you

need at least an outstanding undergraduate degree. Work experience gained through internships can also be

an advantage. Applicants need to be highly intelligent and numerate, with strong communication skills.

Fluency in more than one language is an asset and the ability to work as part of a team is essential.

The Investment Banking and Debt Capital Markets area exists to provide effective global 'multi-product'

solutions for clients seeking to raise capital or manage their risk exposure. As a result, Analysts within the

team work in close contact with our client groups which are structured by geography and sector. Extensive

research, internal briefings, and presentations are involved in the search for a client solution. Once these

solutions are approved, models are built that provide the client with accurate projections. This role involves

creative thinking, maintaining relationships, and providing the full range of the firm's services to the client –

government agencies or corporate clients looking to raise capital.

Generating new business is an important part of the role. It demands an understanding of complex products

and their pricing, as well as looking at issues from different angles and creating alternative ideas. Looking at

the bigger picture in terms of client needs and wider market issues is also important. As such, you may

spend your time developing ideas and solutions to pitch to clients. Following that, you may work on live deals

involving products such as bonds, equity and credit derivatives, securitization, loans, foreign exchange,

interest rates, and commodities.

Fundamental analysis and research into companies and markets is the starting point in Investment Banking

and Debt Capital Markets. This offers an opportunity to work with teams across the firm, delivering more

integrated solutions for our clients and across all areas of financing and risk management services. As

relationship management skills develop you will be given more responsibility for client relationships.

From the moment you accept a job at Barclays Capital, you are offered the opportunity to participate in the

Program including an excellent understanding of the financial markets in which we operate, as well as the

products, instruments, and services offered by Barclays Capital. This creates a strong platform on which to

build more in-depth specialist expertise relevant to your chosen area. Upon joining the firm you will

participate in the Graduate Training program at our London headquarters. The Graduate Program takes

learning one step further, incorporating practical applications through a variety of case studies, workshops,

and presentations. Once you return to the US, you will participate in many programs including product

knowledge sessions, online tutorials, and our mentor program.
