HSBC Private Bank launches HSBC Access for UHNW clients

HSBC Private Bank has launched HSBC Access, a proposition designed to give ultra-high net worth (UHNW) and family office clients access to institutional-grade solutions, exclusive investment opportunities and specialist insights.

Eligible clients can invest in selected technology and start-up companies served by HSBC Innovation Banking. This is the first time HSBC Private Bank clients have been able to access this type of opportunity since HSBC Innovation Banking was launched in 2023.

HSBC Access provides a range of investment opportunities, including direct investments, co-investments, exclusive private market opportunities and venture capital funds, some of which were previously available only to institutional clients. These opportunities are sourced from HSBC’s Corporate and Institutional Banking and Innovation Banking businesses, and are managed and distributed through HSBC’s UHNW Solutions Group.

In addition, HSBC Access provides specialist insights and intelligence from across our corporate, trade and innovation banking businesses. The proposition also facilitates curated introductions to individuals and businesses, such as founders of technology start-ups, strengthening HSBC’s support for the innovation ecosystem.

As the world’s largest trade bank, HSBC has unrivalled access to the real economy, with over 5,000 trade specialists in more than 50 markets. HSBC Innovation Banking operates at the centre of the global innovation economy, capturing around 70% of global venture capital flows.

Following its initial roll-out in Hong Kong, HSBC Access will be launched in more markets to meet the needs of ultra-high net worth clients around the world.

Ida Liu, CEO of HSBC Private Bank, said: “Our UHNW and family office clients want to be closer to the companies, founders and opportunities shaping the innovation economy. HSBC Access gives them a direct route to selected private investment opportunities, backed by the insight, connections and full strength of HSBC’s global network.”

Jo Miyake, head of banking, Asia and Middle East Corporate and Institutional Banking, HSBC, said: “HSBC Access is an important step in supporting business owners and the innovation ecosystem to expand and grow. It will help widen the pool of long-term, informed capital available to entrepreneurs and high-growth companies, while bringing additional expertise and connections to help innovative businesses scale and accelerate progress.”
