HSBC
|
HSBC Holdings plc (LSE: HSBA, SEHK: 0005, NYSE: HBC, Euronext: HSB, BSX: 1077223879) is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales, headquartered in London. It is the world's largest company and the world's largest banking group, as calculated based on different metrics by the annual Forbes list of the world's largest firms published on April 2, 2008. In February 2008, HSBC was named the world's most valuable banking brand by The Banker magazine.
HSBC Holdings was established in 1991 to become the parent company to The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited in preparation for its purchase of the Midland Bank in Britain and in change of domicile for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong. The former was established virtually simultaneously in Hong Kong and Shanghai in 1865 to finance the growing trade between China and Europe by Scotsman Thomas Sutherland, who wanted a bank operating on "sound Scottish banking principles". Its heritage in East Asia means it is a British institution with an extensive international pedigree.
HSBC is well-known in banking circles for its diversified and risk-averse approach in its business operations (to the extent that, for instance, Europe contributes around one-third of its 2007 earnings and commercial banking 30%).

Today, however, its headquarters are located in the city of São Paulo, as almost all other major banks are. The banking house has grown to be the third biggest private national bank largely due to the 1995 acquisition of Banco Nacional, which went bankrupt alongside other major financial houses during the national banking meltdown of the early years of the Real Plan. As most banks in the country, it offers a wide variety of financial services, such as checking accounts, consumer credit, loans, insurance, pension and investment funds, brokerage services, etc. Though its shares are negotiated on the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa), it is still today controlled by its founding Moreira Salles family. The family was until recently headed by patriarch Walter Moreira Salles - a renowned banker and diplomat, who served as Brazilian ambassador to Britain as well as Finance Minister - deceased in 2001. As of 2006, his son Pedro Moreira Salles serves as the company's Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman of the Board.
The group own several companies, including: Fininvest, Hipercard, Luizacred, PontoCred, Banco Dibens and Unicard. |
