Client segmentation based on trading behaviour for relevant content delivery, analysis of trading behaviour of top clients in market volatility, and FX spread comparison with competitor during NFP release; Barclays Capital

Abstract

The initial three days of the internship were spent in Singapore, for an induction-cum-training programme, during which we were given an orientation on Barclays Capital and its competencies, Bloomberg training as well as lectures on basic finance. After the induction, I joined the Hong Kong office, where I worked with two desks - Equity Derivatives Sales for four weeks and then BARX Sales (eCommerce Distribution) for the next four weeks. In this report, I talk about the projects done under the BARX Sales team. The BARX Sales team was spread out over the Asia Pacific region. The team was primarily based in Singapore, having ten members there. Besides this, the team had two members in Hong Kong, five in Sydney, five in Tokyo and one in Seoul. The primary function of the team was to cater to the clients' needs for electronic trading, acquire more clients and update the clients about the latest innovations.
