Barclays, the third-largest British bank by market value, boosted its stake in Barrenjoey from 9.9 percent to 18.2 percent by investing A$75 million ($52.72 million) in new capital. Barrenjoey was founded by former UBS bankers and sponsored by Barclays and Magellan.


Barclays stated in a statement that Australia is an integral element of its strategic growth objectives in the Asia Pacific region.


In the second half of the year, the additional capital will be essential to support the growth of Barrenjoey's markets business, which includes the establishment of fixed income derivatives and equities financing platforms, according to Barclays.
