Our take
With a history dating back more than 260 years, Investment Management Group Barings was originally Britain’s oldest merchant bank and set up an asset management division in the 1950s. By the mid-90s, its original banking division collapsed due to scandals concerning its executives and its investment management department took center stage. Through a series of acquisitions, Baring Asset Management became Barings in 2016, alongside the now-merged Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors, Wood Creek, and Babson Capital Management.
With a portfolio worth more than $347 billion, Barings has come full circle over its two-and-a-half-century life. During the 2010s, its acquisitions and growth saw it evolve into a global leader, with subsidiaries in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. Focusing on private and public equity, real estate, private credit, capital, and insurance solutions, Barings has run with the fast-moving shifts in the investment sector to fund electric vehicle projects, fintech platforms, and digital companies to great success.
In 2023, Barings swooped in to save bankrupt real estate deals in Arizona and secured leading bank tenants Santander and HSBC at its state-of-the-art office development in Manchester, UK. In 2024 it led a funding round of Morgan Stanley's World 50, exemplifying its influence on the world's top investment banks. With many arms to its company, Barings can weather setbacks as a whole, whether that be the collapse of Barings-backed internet provider GigaMonster or restructuring the ailing cinema chain Vue.
