According to the Barclays, the SSG provides access to Barclays Capital and Barclays Corporate when their expertise in products and services is required to provide strategic solutions for UHNW clients. The SSG also provides access to the investment club, which offers both client-to-client and third party opportunities.

Prior to his seven years at Citi, he worked at Merrill Lynch as head of distribution for private clients. Previously, he worked at Goldman Sachs and Bankers Trust in Corporate Finance and Capital Markets respectively.
Drews said that sitting alongside the expertise in credit, wealth structuring, brokerage and intelligent investment solutions, the SSG will be instrumental in bringing Barclays to the client.
