In the US, HSBC’s investment bank barely does anything. I am pretty sure they are losing money.
That's a dumb and ignorant comment. Shows how unknowledgeable you are about the industry.
When there are $10bn+ LBO deals happening, especially in industrials, you need several banks to be involved to shoulder the deal. In this market there aren't that many banks with greater financial strength and appetite to do those kinds of deals.
The fees on a deal that size could easily be $10m for each bank involved.
I wouldn't say that's accurate. There's more to IB then M&A. They have strong DCM desk, and a decent LevFin operation with solid exits.
I have a buddy of mine who just recently joined the team (he’s less than a year at the desk). Says that there isn’t a lot of work going on, mostly pitching. They recently built it the team like 2 years ago, so it’s still starting up.
Bumping, also curious. All I know is team is relatively new. Headed by a former barclays/Lehman guy
Bump also curious
It's a competent team with a positive culture. While it's primarily focused on leveraged finance, it's robust and expanding. Starting your career in industrials is an excellent choice due to its diversity. You can work on various sectors like Aerospace & Defense, packaging, electric vehicles, factory automation, and more, all within one team. The team maintains a strong work ethic, and it's a dynamic environment.

One of the best teams at hsbc, many deals in LevFin & recently hired seniors to increase M&A pipeline. Great culture, good exits to top BBS/EBs
