The top wealth manager at HSBC $HSBA (+2,56%)who is responsible for China, will soon leave her position as part of a leadership reshuffle in Asia as the lender also cuts hundreds of jobs in its digital wealth project in China.

Kai Zhang, the Asia head of IWPB, will relocate from Singapore to Shanghai and take on the additional role of acting head of IWPB China from the same date, the memo said.

A company spokesperson confirmed the contents of the memo.

Sun has been appointed managing director of strategic projects at IWPB - a newly created position. She will report to the head of global asset management, Barry O'Byrne, and will relocate from Shanghai to Hong Kong.

According to the bank, Sun will lead projects critical to accelerating IWPB's growth agenda, including increasing cross-border client acquisition and fund flow capture.

HSBC $HSBA (+2,56%) is considering a strategic move into the thriving private credit market, Reuters reported, citing five informed sources. The potential move is part of the bank's ongoing efforts to boost its revenues following a period of significant restructuring and downsizing in its investment banking division.

HSBC has reportedly begun talks with several private credit firms about a possible partnership. However, these discussions are at different stages and it is unclear whether they will result in a formal partnership.

Despite the growth and potential of the private credit sector, HSBC is expected to take a cautious approach. Some senior executives, including CEO Georges Elhedery, have expressed doubts as to whether the potential revenues will outweigh the associated costs.

This cautious approach is also influenced by the current economic climate. The comprehensive tariffs introduced by US President Donald Trump have affected short-term demand for credit. As a result, corporate borrowers are reconsidering their positions, prompting HSBC to take a cautious approach.

Private credit comprises loans negotiated directly between borrowers and non-bank lenders, offering customized financing options not typically available from traditional banks. This offers investors an alternative income-generating opportunity within the fixed income segment of their portfolios.

In February, Fed Governor Michael Barr provided insights into the private credit market and explained the risks involved. Barr argues that private credit markets funded with long-term money face transparency issues, unproven credit performance over a credit cycle, frequent restructurings that mask defaults, and new liquidity risks from the introduction of short-term liquidity into products not designed for it.

...it may take a while, but the flood will come and until then just carry on as before 🤫
