    Chief Executive Officer, Barclays Private Bank and Wealth Management

    It is an honour to chair the UK’s new retail investment campaign. This important initiative seeks to help raise awareness about the importance of investing for people’s future financial wellbeing, and the value it brings to the economy.   Today, just 10% of UK households directly own shares and Barclays’ data shows that UK adults hold an estimated £430 billion in cash savings, which could be invested better. I look forward to working with partners across industry and the public sector to reshape the UK’s investment culture and support a vibrant, growing economy.

    Today we celebrate the Hindu festival Raksha Bandhan. On this day sisters tie colourful threads (known as 'rakhi') around their brothers' wrists as a symbol of protection, whilst also celebrating the beautiful bond between siblings.    Wishing our customers, clients and colleagues a joyous Raksha Bandhan ⭐
