Institutional and consultant clients

Meeting the needs of institutional investors

Institutional client assets make up more than half of our total assets under management, reflecting our long-term focus on and commitment to meeting the needs of institutional investors worldwide.

Some think we are different - we think we are open-minded.

We have the skill and resources to provide a complete solution for almost any institutional investment requirement.

This is achieved by drawing on a wealth of capabilities from within HSBC's asset management businesses. We also have a completely open mind when using external managers, either because they complement what we can do or simply because they are the best in a particular area.

From achieving a specific tax-efficient return to matching future liabilities, we can help create the right investment solution.

Competitive in-house capabilities

We recognise that many institutions are not looking for a holistic solution. Instead, they want to access a specific asset management capability from the world's best capabilities, often advised by investment consultants.

We have a competitive range of in-house capabilities, sourced from our own HSBC Global Asset Management teams or from the specialist asset managers we represent, namely Halbis, Sinopia, HSBC Liquidity and HSBC Multimanager. Be it enhanced cash or emerging markets equity, absolute return fixed income or Asian smaller companies equity, hedge funds or hybrid mandates, we have many institutional capabilities that compete with the best.

Servicing individual client needs

Investment capability is only one part of our institutional proposition. Long-term relationships, client service and robust operations are important too. We are large enough to be able to leverage the best technologies, but nimble enough to adapt our services to meet the specific needs of each institutional investor.
