Barclays seems to be doing fine, so for the time being I think that this is all just talk.
I don't know if this will really go through, but given that they just recently shifted everything under one brand umbrella, separating things on the operating level would probably be somewhat of an overkill. But then again, after LIBOR IBD/S&T really took a huge hit on the reputation side of things, so I guess to "save face" for the retail arm, it may make sense to spin-out Investment Banking.
Any ideas if a competitor may try to take over IBD?
Very old news.
Yes it is. But clearly the issue remains and seems to be gaining popularity. FT reports that 30 of Barclays biggest shareholders were pushing for this in investor meetings over the last few weeks.
I think that article was more geared towards the actual Investment Bank itself and not just the Investment Banking Division (IBD). Just wanted to clear that up so people don't see your original post and get scared about their IBD when the article is really not about it specifically.
And also the logic seems a question of more of the fit of commercial banking and investment banking together rather than a straight-up assessment that the Investment Bank should not be continued.
Yeah, let me change the IBD to investment bank...
