Senior HSBC banker Peter Enns to leave lender in first quarter next year
- Enns has accepted a senior executive role outside banking, lender says
- Steven Major, bank’s global head of fixed-income research, relocates to Hong Kong from London
Enns joined HSBC two years ago as global head of its financial institutions group in London and relocated to Asia last year. Most recently, he served as global co-head of advisory and investment banking coverage.
“He leaves both business areas in stronger franchise positions, with improved financial performance. I would like to thank Peter for his contributions to HSBC,” Greg Guyett, HSBC’s co-chief executive of global banking and markets, said in a memo seen by the South China Morning Post.
HSBC will seek to replace Enns in Asia, according to the memo. Adam Bagshaw, global co-head of advisory and investment banking coverage, will assume his responsibilities when Enns departs in the first quarter.
The contents of the memo were confirmed by a HSBC spokesman.
Separately, Steven Major, HSBC’s global head of fixed-income research, has relocated to Hong Kong from London as the bank seeks to bolster its business in the region.
