Before investing, consider your financial goals and risk tolerance. This will help you determine the right investment mix for your needs.

With Barclays, you can invest from as little as £100, making it accessible to those with smaller budgets.

When choosing an investment account, consider your financial goals and risk tolerance. You can choose from a variety of accounts to suit your needs.

You're not limited to having just one account - you're able to have more than one. This means you can spread your investments across different accounts to achieve your financial objectives.

If you're looking to save for retirement, a Self-Invested Personal Pension (SIPP) might be the way to go. You can also consider an Investment Account or an Investment (Stocks and Shares) ISA for other investment goals.

You can start investing from £50 through either a one-off investment or by setting-up a regular investment with a monthly Direct Debit.

This flexibility allows you to invest at a level that suits your budget and financial situation.

Investments often grow more than savings, typically over five years or more, making it a worthwhile option.

By investing regularly, you can take advantage of the power of compound interest and watch your money grow over time.

It's a good idea to consider how much you can afford to invest each month, and set up a Direct Debit to make it easier to stick to your plan.

This will help you avoid dipping into your savings or other funds to make up for missed investments.

Investing £50 or more can be a great starting point, and from there you can adjust your investment amount as needed.

At Barclays Investment, you have the flexibility to build and manage your own portfolio.

You can select from a wide range of funds, shares (UK and International), Exchange Traded Funds, bonds, and investment trusts.

Our research and expert insights can help you make informed decisions.

This means you can tailor your portfolio to suit your individual financial goals and risk tolerance.

Barclays is reviewing the size and shape of its investment bank, which is expected to result in a shrinking of the division and a focus on its most profitable areas.

The review will focus on whether the bank should exit business that is balance sheet heavy and low-return, and is already underway with a completion date set for summer.

Thousands of job cuts and the possible departure of the co-heads of the investment bank, Tom King and Eric Bommensath, could be a result of this review.

A spokesman for Barclays denied any plans for a change in leadership in the investment bank, despite the shake-up.

The bank's investment division generated a return on equity of 8.2 per cent last year, which is below its cost of capital.

Its ratio of costs to income increased from 39.6 to 43.2 per cent, putting pressure on returns.

Tougher regulations and weak trading in fixed income, which generates most of the profits at Barclays' investment bank, are contributing to the pressure on returns.

Fixed income revenues have remained under pressure this year, with Deutsche Bank saying it had a "slow" start to the year.

Barclays' Chief Executive Antony Jenkins is meeting investors to explain the reasoning behind the investment bank review and his long-term vision for the division.

Jenkins has repeatedly said he will keep a significant sized investment bank, which contributes about half of group earnings.
