HSBC GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT

Company History
HSBC Global Asset management draws upon a long history of serving clients of the HSBC Group, tracing its roots back to the foundation of the Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation in 1865. The HSBC Group has identified asset management as a key constituent of the HSBC Group’s wealth management strategy and at HSBC Global Asset management, we have been dedicated to managing assets on behalf of our clients for more than 30 years.

In 1994 the HSBC Group recognised the increasingly global nature of financial markets, would create the need for a credible global asset management organisation to ensure delivery of the best possible solutions for clients. In response, the separate regional asset management businesses of HSBC were unified to create a single powerful investment manager aimed at delivering global investment capabilities combined with significant local expertise.

In 2001, following the integration of CCF and its investment businesses into HSBC, a new global strategy was launched for asset management. The strategy aimed to create a core proprietary global investment management business – HSBC Asset Management, operating alongside a series of Specialist investment businesses, namely: Sinopia for quantitative and structured products, HSBC Specialist Investments for property and infrastructure investments, HSBC Multimanager for best-in-class ‘open architecture’ investments and HSBC Alternative Investments for single-manager hedge fund strategies.

In 2004, following a strong period of growth in HSBC’s investment businesses, a new strategy was announced for the investment businesses of HSBC. The strategy is intended to position HSBC for market leadership in the provision of investment solutions that meet client needs and involved a reorganisation of HSBC’s investment businesses, leading to the creation of HSBC Investments, which was renamed HSBC Global Asset Management in June 2008.
