Barclays is overhauling its investment banking leadership just three years after its last restructuring, as the British bank tries to compete with its larger Wall Street rivals. The bank has hired Mike Joo, a top banker from Bank of America, as co-head of its investment bank, alongside Adeel Khan who takes on the role with responsibility for global markets.

Joo will join Barclays in February, subject to regulatory approval, and will be based in New York, also joining the bank's executive committee. The changes come as Barclays trails behind US giants such as Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan in investment banking fees.
