Investment banks are earning less money from traditional advisory work in the UK than at any point since 2013 - but Barclays and HSBC have escaped the pain and increased their revenues.

Banks have earned $1.9bn from capital markets work, M&A advice and syndicated lending in the UK so far this year - down slightly from $2bn at the same point in 2016, and the least since 2013.
