Secondary loan trading

HSBC operates a loan trading business as a key part of its global syndicated finance activities.

Syndicated finance is a strategic product for HSBC. As one of the market leaders in the international arena, we arrange syndicated facilities and provide tailored solutions to meet our clients’ individual financing needs. 

Financing innovation and expertise in arranging and structuring a variety of syndicated transactions underpin our global issuer coverage. At the same time, seamless investor coverage and commitment to service quality make us a preferred choice of investors.

Set up in 1998, the secondary loan trading business has grown into a multi-billion dollar turnover operation focused on investment grade, leveraged and emerging markets in Europe, Middle East and Africa. 

As an investor- and transaction-driven business, we seek to exploit supply and demand and pricing arbitrage opportunities to provide customer trading solutions. An important aspect of our activities is to enhance and augment our primary syndicated loans business and, at the same time, to provide enhanced distribution capability and market liquidity. 

Having built on and consolidated our position in the secondary loan market, we continue to deliver optimum trading opportunities, providing regular loan market commentary, pricing information and investment opportunities, meeting the demands of both borrowers and investors.
