"HSBC's problem is that it just doesn't have enough good people"
HSBC is winding down itsM&A and equity capital markets (ECM) businesses in Europe and the US. While insiders purport to be surprised, the closures have an air of inevitability. HSBC's bankers are peculiarly unproductive in terms of revenues per head. In the Americas, Dealogic says HSBC ranked outside the top 10 for M&A and ECM last year. In Europe, it squeezed in with a ninth position in ECM, down from 7th in 2023.

Morning Coffee: Death of third young banker in 12 months reignites long hours debate. London bankers can safely use WhatsApp again
The investment banking industry has, to say the least, a great uneasiness with the way that it treats the young people at its lowest ranks. Most of the time, theworkload is a matter for dark humour and a twisted kind of pride; everyone in banking has come through this kind of treatment themselves, and many of us have at least some fond memories of being young, bonding with our colleagues and learning the trade. But now and then, something awful happens, and bankers have a moment of introspection in which we worry; are we actually doing something very bad here?

Rise to Trump's tariff challenge
Voluntary export controls by trading partners improve their competitiveness. Fair trade restrictions do not restore the cost advantage for local employment. Even if some form of protectionism can be defended in theory, it is typically captured by interests narrower than national welfare, leading to rent-seeking. The US has tried these approaches since the 1950s and has not been able to make much headway in arresting its trade deficit with the rest of the world. With every passing decade, the target of US protectionism changes: Opec, Japan, China — now it's the turn of India, Brazil and Canada.
