At a recent meeting in Hong Kong, HSBC’s top executives addressed shareholder concerns about its Asian business, which is the primary source of profits for this MCA lender. Shareholders questioned the bank’s strategy and recent acquisitions, including Silicon Valley Bank’s UK arm. The board strongly advised against splitting the bank, citing that it would not be beneficial for shareholders. They highlighted the success of the current strategy in increasing dividends.
HSBC has faced pressure to separate its Asian business due to performance concerns in other regions, but the leadership reassured investors that the entire group is performing well. Despite challenges like scrapping dividends in 2020, the bank is back on track and remains focused on creating value for shareholders.
An activist shareholder in Hong Kong has proposed a resolution to spin off the Asian business, requiring 75% of votes to pass. While facing pressure from shareholders, HSBC’s largest investor, Ping An, has also expressed interest in restructuring the bank to improve performance and value.
The leaders defended recent acquisitions, like the purchase of SVB UK, emphasizing the benefits of gaining access to innovative startups. Amid industry volatility, HSBC remains confident in its stability and does not foresee any immediate impact on its operations.
