Interest Rate Products


Barclays Capital has a major presence in the global government bond market. It is one of only three firms to have primary dealerships in government bonds in every Eurozone country. It is also a primary dealer in US Treasuries and Japanese Government Bonds.

Barclays Capital is a leading US Agency firm and has underwritten large global transactions. We have also established a strong foothold in the Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) business, the largest segment of the US fixed income market.

Barclays Capital specialises in interest rate derivatives, and has expertise across a broad product spectrum. Our integrated sales, trading and research services provide our clients, with a complete product offering, including interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements (FRAs), basis swaps and interest rate options. It also develops bespoke structured products.

Barclays Capital has built a leading franchise in the interest rate business globally, and the results reflect this. In Risk magazine’s corporate end-user survey in April 2008, it ranked No 2 overall in interest rate swaps, No 3 overall in interest rate options and No 2 overall in exotic interest rate products. In the June 2008 Risk institutional investor survey, Barclays Capital ranked No 3 overall in interest rate swaps and No 4 overall in interest rate options.
