A word from the judges...

“HSBC Private Bank was recognised as a Highly Commended Private Bank – Structured Products for delivering a resilient and well-scaled structured products franchise underpinned by solid business momentum,” said Audrey Raj, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“In 2025, the bank demonstrated strong growth in structured products activity across asset classes, reflecting high levels of client engagement and the continued relevance of its solutions across varying market conditions. The bank saw increased demand for bespoke structures designed to support diversification into Asian markets and gold, alongside improved profitability driven by more efficient structuring and execution.

“This performance was driven by a disciplined advisory approach, where structured products are positioned as part of broader portfolio construction rather than standalone trades. Close collaboration between relationship managers, product specialists and trading teams ensured solutions were aligned with client objectives, risk profiles and prevailing market dynamics.

“HSBC also distinguished itself through operational and platform enhancements. Advanced lifecycle management tools, digital trading capabilities and streamlined advisory processes supported more proactive monitoring and timely client engagement throughout a product’s life. Dedicated advisory and dealing teams further strengthened execution quality and responsiveness.

“By combining consistent business performance with disciplined advisory, robust infrastructure and a strong client experience, HSBC Private Bank demonstrated the qualities that underpin its recognition as Highly Commended Private Bank – Structured Products.”
