13Analyst, 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.

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
