Investment - Articles - Barclays Stockbrokers clients capitalise on volatile markets


Paul Inkster, Head of Product, Barclays Stockbrokers comments

 "Despite the ongoing challenging market conditions seen over the last week, clients of Barclays Stockbrokers continue to seek investment opportunities. In a difficult investment environment clients are seeing value in the market, with the majority of trades being purchases.

 "Last week we saw purchases steadily increase from an average of 65% across Monday-Wednesday to 70% on Thursday and reaching a peak of 72% on Friday (19th August). This compares to a summer average buy:sell ratio of 58:42.*

 "Despite the turbulence, the use of Barclays Stockbrokers Price Improver®, the tool that ensures clients get the best prices, meant that last week four out of every five trades placed were executed at a better price than the London Stock Exchange's official best price."
