    By Dan Hart

    May 16 (Bloomberg) -- Barclays Plc, the U.K.’s third- biggest bank, is in talks to sell its asset management unit for as much as $12 billion, with BlackRock Inc. among interested bidders, the Wall Street Journal said, citing unidentified people familiar with the matter.

    The business includes the exchange-traded funds unit iShares, which Barclays agreed to sell to CVC Capital Partners Ltd. for $4.4 billion two months ago, the newspaper said.

    The iShares and securities-lending units each generate as much as a third of the profit for the Barclays Global Investors subsidiary, the newspaper said, citing a person familiar with the situation. BGI had a pretax profit of 595 million pounds ($903 million) in 2008, the Journal said.

    Barclays does not comment on speculative stories, a company spokeswoman in London said when contacted by Bloomberg today.

    Qatar fund says remains supportive of Barclays
    DUBAI, June 3 (Reuters) - Qatar Holding, a division of sovereign wealth fund Qatar Investment Authority, on Wednesday said it remained a supportive shareholder in UK bank Barclays (LSE: BARC.L - news) .

    'Qatar Holding remains a supportive shareholder in Barclays, which it regards as a world class bank, led by a board of directors and a professional managment team for which it maintains the utmost respect,' said Ahmad Al-Sayed, managing director and CEO, in a statement.

    The statement comes one day after an Abu Dhabi fund sold more than 11 percent of Barclays.

    'Qatar Holding, moreover, regards Barclays as a valued commercial and strategic partner particularly in the Middle East markets and expects to build on this fruitful relationship over the long term,' according to the statement, which was read by a spokesman for the holding company.

  • Memories of Lehman Fading [View article]
    That's why I'm loading Barclays (BCS) today at $17 with P/E of 4.75 vs US Banks with P/E of over 25 ... BCS is one of the cheapest bank and dividend coming back in Q3....

    Lots of US Banks need to pay Tarp with huge Dillution before paying dividends....But Barclays
    during the storm bought Lehman assets for only $2B....

    That's what i call excellent management....

  • Cramer's Stop Trading! The Best-Acting Retailer Out There (6/1/09) [View article]
    Hey Jim you see JPM at $60 with P/E of 32???

    like MS said??

    JP Morgan estimates raised at Morgan Stanley
    Morgan Stanley raised JP Morgan estimates due to the smaller than expected equity raise to pay back TARP. Shares are Overweight rated with a $60 target.

    I guess i will stick with Barclays UK Bank with P/E of 4.83 and dividend coming in Q3...beeter than US Banks with P/E of over 30 like JPM...GS...WFC.....and better dividend coming...

    See what BCS CEO Mr Varley said:

    "Varley said that the bank's decision to stay independent was to ensure "our profit performance, and in our resulting ability to pay dividends." Earlier, Barclays Chairman Marcus Agius repeated the company's intention to resume paying dividends in the second half of 2009 and thereafter to pay them on a quarterly basis. The bank plans to make a cash payment in the fourth quarter and a final cash dividend for the year being declared and paid in the first quarter of 2010. "

    This way better and cheaper than some US Banks right JIM...Where is you call JIM??
