Today, while Hong Kong continues to be a significant source of income for the group, no single geographical area dominates earnings. Recent acquisitions and expansion in China are returning HSBC to part of its roots.[5] HSBC is Europe's biggest bank and has an enormous operational base in Asia and significant lending, investment, and insurance activities around the world. The company has a global reach and financial fundamentals matched by few other banking or financial multinationals.[6]
HSBC is listed on the London, New York, and Hong Kong Stock Exchanges, and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index and the Hang Seng Index.
