Barclays shares fall on possible losses from collapse of Market Financial Solutions - Finance news and analysis from Global Banking & Finance Review

LONDON, Feb 27 (Reuters) - Barclays shares fell in early trade on Friday after a report in the Times said the company faces potential losses related to the collapse of UK mortgage provider Market Financial Solutions (MFS).

By 0822 GMT. shares were down 1.1% at 467 pence per share, underperforming the FTSE 350 index of bank stocks, which was up 0.18%.

Barclays did not immediately respond to request for comment.

The Times reported Barclays has 600 million pound ($809.70 million) exposure to MFS. Citi said that the figure may warrant some caution.

"Arranging a loan is very different to retaining that risk on B/S (balance sheet)," Citi said.

"Also not clear if/how much could already be provisioned against (if anything)."

Shares in Jefferies Financial Group fell 3.4% on Thursday after Bloomberg reported that the company had an exposure of about 100 million pounds to MFS.
