Hello and welcome to the Barclays Brief podcast. I’m Patrick Coffey Global Head of Product Management Group in Barclays Research…
Ronnie:…and I’m Ronnie Wexler, Global Head of Equities Distribution in our Global Markets division. We’re excited to launch this new weekly podcast series!
Patrick:… Yes — it’s called Barclays Brief because each bite-sized episode is just 10 minutes. And in that time, we’ll cover a lot of ground. We’ll dig into the structural trends transforming sectors — from technology and healthcare to energy, industrials, and beyond. But we’ll keep it focused and explore one key market theme each week. That could be across macro, equities, credit and much more. The aim is simple: we want to uncover the forces shaping tomorrow to help you make smarter decisions today.
Ronnie:Absolutely. We’ll spotlight the ideas driving client conversations, highlight what’s catching our team’s attention, and share the kind of context you won’t find in headlines. Our goal is to help you — our listeners — navigate complexity, make meaningful connections, and anticipate what’s next, whether you’re managing a portfolio or leading a business.
Patrick:Exactly. So, in a world of constant change, this podcast is your weekly source for differentiated perspectives that cut through the noise. In terms of the format, one of us will interview an expert from our Research or Markets teams and really challenge their views, exploring alternative scenarios to get to the heart of what matters to you.
