Business highlights

Pre-tax profits increased by 5 per cent or 4 per cent on an underlying basis to US$822 million, primarily due to strong performances in Switzerland and Monaco, offsetting lower revenues in Asia due to reduced client trading.

Inward referrals from other customer groups in HSBC in the first half of 2008 resulted in US$3.4 billion of net new money, compared with US$2.0 billion in the first half of 2007. 

Despite a decline in market values, client assets at US$421.3 billion remained well ahead of 30 June 2007 and unchanged from 31 December 2007, assisted by net new money of US$14.5 billion in the first half of 2008. This was achieved with an improvement in net interest income in an environment of competitors offering above-market deposit rates to attract and retain clients. Within client assets, funds and mandates generating annuity income rose by 4 per cent to US$70.3 billion.

Total client assets, a measure equivalent to many industry definitions of assets under management, which includes some non-financial assets held in client trusts, amounted to US$499.3 billion at 30 June 2008an increase of US$5.2 billion on 31 December 2007, including US$18.6 billion of net new money.

Private Banking clients continued to be attracted to alternative products, with total hedge funds under custody for clients growing to US$57.9 billion, and new product offerings in emerging markets. The HSBC New Frontiers Fund, which concentrates on the next generation emerging markets, and the HSBC Asia Private Equity fund, were notably successful in the first half of 2008.

Offices in GuangzhouShanghai and Beijing were formally opened in early 2008 as part of the launch of Private Banking in mainland China.

Notes

The loss before tax recorded in OtherUS$189 million, was US$1,259 million less than the profit of US$1,070 million in the first half of 2007. For a description of the main items reported under 'Other', please see footnote 5 on page 89.

Net income from financial instruments designated at fair value of US$820 million was recorded in the first half of 2008. This represented nearly a nine-fold increase on the first half of 2007 and arose principally from mark-to-market gains driven by wider credit spreads from fair valuing own debt issued by HSBC Holdings and its European and North American subsidiaries. These fair value gains will reverse through the income statement over the remaining life of the debt.

Activities undertaken within the Group Service Centres ('GSCs') continued to grow in the first half of 2008. Employee numbers increased by 14 per cent, bringing the total number of people employed by GSCs to over 32,000In North America, IT Service Centres reported a 3 per cent decrease in costs. Substantially all costs of both GSCs and IT Service Centres are recharged to HSBC's customer groups and global businesses with revenue reported under 'Other operating income'.

'Gains less losses from financial investments' included impairment charges of US$296 million recognised on non-trading equity positions classified as available for sale. These investments were made as part of the strategic positioning of HSBC's businesses in Asia, and the write-downs were required as a consequence of significant falls in equity market prices. In the opinion of HSBC management, these stakes continue to deliver the market access envisaged when they were acquired.

Dilution gains of US$1.1 billion recorded in the first half of 2007 did not recur. These gains were recognised following share offerings made by HSBC's associates: Ping An Insurance, Bank of Communications and Industrial Bank.
