An Investment Philosophy that supports your wealth needs

Our investment philosophy is the guiding principle for everything we do, across the whole of HSBC. We have an unwavering commitment to our four key principles.

Global opportunities

We passionately believe that to be truly diversified, to find the right connections and to secure your next investment opportunity, you need to be global. 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.

Access the experts

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.
