BARCLAYS CAPITAL Barclays takes the fund-linked title for the second year running. Fund-of-funds and private bank officials globally said the firm stands out for its superior sales effort and after-sales support. Geographically the U.K. firm's fund-linked business, headed by Richard Ho, has also inched ahead of European rivals, expanding in the U.S. and Asia. Several U.S. funds-of-funds who declined to be named have chosen Barclays as a leverage provider this year, attributing their choice not just to competitive pricing but also to the competence of the sales team.
