HSBC in Asia
HSBC has been a leading and trusted financial institution in Asia since 1865, founded as The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited. Our regional strategy builds on our core strengths and heritage and our trading origins in Asia have had a considerable influence over the development of the Group. Our strategy is to continue to invest primarily in the faster-growing, emerging markets and focus on business models that have international connectivity and scale advantage.
