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

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

Lumpur), Poland (Krakow),Sri Lanka (Rajagiriya)and Philippines (Manila). The Malta trial for

charges will be effective for the clients for a minimum turnover of Rs. 50 Crore p.a.

Opportunities

Indian economy seems to be out of recession. This is the right time for inventers to re-enter the market. The company should adopt some strategies to increase the business

through existing clients.

The increasing number of management graduates helps to get sales force at trainee levelsat less salaries or commission basis. It reduces the salaries and commissions expenses of

the company. The company can tie up with reputed B Schools for trainees.

Many a banks are offering fund transfer services. The company can increase the tie-upsfor fund transfers at attract customers of different banks.

Threats

Fig 9(a):-Total debt to total asset

Interpretation: -In above data we can see that the total debt to total assets for last three years

is continuously increasing that Shows Company is now increasing the share of debts in assets.

But on the other hand it is also enlarging the risk profile for the creditors.

Trend Analysis: -

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.
