No matter the location, sector or language, by partnering with HSBC Global Private Banking you will access the broad opportunities across markets. With a partner who understands cultural nuances just as well as the economic cycles, you are in the right place to get things done when it matters.

At HSBC Global Private Banking we draw on our leading experts from across private banking as well as HSBC Asset Management. We help you connect the dots between wealth management, commercial banking, global markets, and day-to-day transactions to find the right opportunities at the right time. What’s more, through open architecture we draw on third-party industry experts, ensuring we identify and seize investment opportunities that deliver against your ambitions.
Taking a rigorous approach
We take the time to understand your investment needs carefully, supporting you, your family and your business in accessing the most relevant investment products and services to help achieve your investment goals. Together we outline principles and strategies to accomplish your financial ambitions. We keep you regularly updated on how your portfolios are performing and keep you in the know with the latest market trends, providing you the clarity you need. We are the partner that keeps you and your investments moving forward.
Resilient controls
Through our institutional risk management systems, we complete regular rebalancing, systematic risk assessments and put the controls in place designed around your investment portfolio that give you peace of mind. We develop plans with you. Focused on the long term, we continuously ensure that we are on the right road to help achieve your wealth ambitions.
Our investment philosophy is guided by our belief in diversification, looking globally for the best opportunities. We also believe it is critical to fully understand the needs and objectives of our clients to tailor portfolios.
