Historical background of the group :
The HSBC Group is named after its founding member, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking
Corporation Limited, which was established in 1865 to finance the growing trade between
Europe, India and China.
The inspiration behind the founding of the bank was Thomas Sutherland, a Scot who was then
working for the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company. He realized that there
was considerable demand for local banking facilities in Hong Kong and on the China coast
and he helped to establish the bank, which opened in Hong Kong in March 1865 and in
Shanghai a month later.
Soon after its formation the bank opened agencies and branches around the world. Although that
network reached as far as Europe and North America, the emphasis was on building up
representation in China and the rest of the Asia-Pacific region. HSBC was a pioneer of modern
banking practices in a number of countries. In Japan, where a branch was established in 1866, the
bank acted as adviser to the government on banking and currency. In 1888, it was the first bank
to be established in Thailand, where it printed the countrys first banknotes.
From the outset trade finance was a strong feature of the local and international
business of the bank, an expertise that has been recognized throughout its history. Bullion,
exchange, merchant banking and note issuing also played an important part. By the 1880s, the
bank was acting as banker to the Hong Kong government and also participated in the managementof British government accounts in China, Japan, Penang and Singapore. In1874 the bank
handled Chinas first public loan and thereafter issued most of Chinas public loans.
What is HSBC?
We are the worlds local bank.
Headquarters in London, HSBC is one of the largest banking & financial services organization in
the world. HSBCs international network comprises over 9500 offices in 76 countries &territories

London, Hongkong, New York, Paris & Bermuda stock exchange shares in HSBC holdings
places are held by nearly 200,000 shareholders in some 100 countries & territories. The shares
are traded on the New York stock exchange in the form of American Depository Receipts.

rapidly growing e-commerce capability, HSBC provides a comprehensive range of financial

Group Service Centres
The HSBC Global Technology Centre in Pune, India develops software for the entire HSBC
group.As a cost saving measure HSBC is off shoring processing work to lower cost economies in
order to reduce the cost of providing services in developed countries. These locations take on
work such as data andcustomer service, but also internalsoftware
engineering at Pune, Hyderabad(India), Vishakhapatnam (India), Kolkata (India), Guangzhou (C
hina), and Curitiba (Brazil).Chief Operating OfficerAlan Jebson said in March 2005 that he
would be very surprised if fewer than 25,000 people were working in the centres over the next
three years: I dont have a precise target but I would be surprised ifwe had less than 15 (global
service centres) in three years time. He went on to say that each centre cost the bank from
$20m to $30m to set up, but that for every job moved the bank saves about $20,000 (10,400).
Trade unions, particularly in the US and UK, blame these centres for job losses in developed
countries, and also for the effective imposition of wage caps on their members.
HSBC Building, Shanghai
Currently, HSBC operates centres out of eight countries, including Brazil (Curitiba), The Czech
Republic (Ostrava), India (Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Visakhapatnam, Mumbai, Gurgaon a

Interpretation: - It can be observed from the above data that return on total assets is
decreasing from the previous years. However it doesnt mean that net profit of the bank has been
decreased it is basically due to increase in total assets which is much higher than the net profit.

shows the margin left after the meeting manufacturing costs. It measures the efficiency of
production as well as pricing. To analyze the factors underlying the variation in gross profit

An aspect of technical analysis that tries to predict the future movement of a stock based on past
data. Trend analysis is based on the idea that what has happened in the past gives traders an idea
of what will happen in the future. Trend analysis tries to predict a trend like a bull market run
and ride that trend until data suggests a trend reversal (e.g. bull to bear market). Trend analysis is
helpful because moving with trends, and not against them, will lead to profit for an investor.
