HSBC says 'no decision' made in Singapore insurance review

HSBC said Singapore stays a priority market for wealth and wholesale growth.

HSBC Holdings plc has launched a strategic review of its insurance manufacturing business in Singapore, HSBC Life (Singapore) Pte Ltd.

The review will cover only HSBC Life Singapore and will consider all options for the business. “No decisions” have been made at this stage, the bank said in a news release today.

HSBC said Singapore remains a priority market and that it will continue to grow its wealth and wholesale banking businesses.

The group added that it will continue to offer insurance products to its customers in Singapore.

The review forms part of HSBC’s broader global simplification programme, as the group focuses on areas where it has a clear competitive advantage and the strongest growth potential.

Further announcements will be made if there are material developments.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
