HSBC Holdings Plc is continuing a hiring spree for its equities business in the Asia-Pacific region, recruiting executives from firms including Deutsche Bank AG, the German lender which is making deep cuts to its own global operations.
HSBC has hired Deutsche Bank’s Isabella Kwok as a managing director for Asian equity sales with a China focus, according to people familiar with the matter, asking not to be identified because the move hasn’t been announced. Others joining the London-based bank in Hong Kong include Edman Wong from Citigroup Inc. and CLSA Ltd.’s Vivek Gandhi, who will be based in Singapore, the people added.
