Your options and career development
Equity Capital Markets
Building the Bank's equities capability is one of HSBC's most important strategies. The Equity Capital Markets (ECM) team will play a key role in this process, providing excellent opportunities for a new generation of ambitious ECM bankers.
Global specialists
Acting as the intermediary between banking, equity research, and equity sales/trading, the ECM team is HSBC's global equity product specialist. We originate, structure and execute equity and equity-linked new issues. Our core products include initial public offerings (IPOs), rights issues, accelerated book builds and convertible and exchangeable bonds.
New opportunities
This is an excellent time to join the ECM business. Equity new issue opportunities are opening up in a number of areas in both developed and emerging markets as companies are looking to finance growth and M&A, and as regulatory capital requirements in the financial sector evolve.
We have opportunities in London and New York. Whichever office you join, you will be part of a global ECM network that includes teams in Dubai, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Paris, São Paulo, Singapore and Toronto.
As an Analyst joining ECM in London, you will work with clients across key Global Banking sectors such as financial institutions, industrials, consumer, retail, resources and energy in both developed and emerging markets within EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa). Your responsibilities will include:
- Assisting senior ECM bankers on quantitative and qualitative market analysis and the preparation of client presentations and other marketing materials in the pursuit of new mandates such as IPOs, rights issues and other equity-linked transactions
- Coordinating with colleagues in equity research, equity sales and trading and regional ECM groups across the globe
- Participating in the execution of ECM transactions including the preparation of information packs and internal and external deal documentation and assistance on due diligence
We are looking for bright, driven, highly analytical people with an endless willingness to learn. You will need to be creative, insightful, excellent with numbers and a great communicator with a keen interest in the financial markets. This is a demanding environment where long hours are not uncommon, so you will have to love what you are doing.
"In ECM, we combine market insight with corporate finance knowledge to develop capital raising ideas for clients. As HSBC expands its presence in equity markets, we will have many exciting opportunities, in both developed and emerging markets." John Crompton, Global Head of ECM
The HSBC Summer Analyst Programme lasts for 10 weeks and is designed for ambitious penultimate year university students. This is a non-rotational programme taking place predominantly in our main hubs: London, New York, Hong Kong and Dubai. Our extensive range of opportunities covers all areas of Global Banking, Global Markets, Global Research, all areas of Global Infrastructure, HTS GBM Technology, Global Asset Management and Global Private Banking.
Whichever discipline you choose, the programme will act as a comprehensive introduction to that area of the Bank. Your programme will provide you with the platform to be considered for our Full-Time Analyst Programme. You will have the opportunity to show your genuine potential and develop the behaviours, skills and experience essential to enjoy a long-term career with us at HSBC.
The programme will comprise hands-on experience, excellent technical, behavioural and IT skills training and the opportunity to form very important networks with peers and business leaders alike. Just as importantly, each programme will act as an introduction to the culture and values of HSBC.
Taking all of these elements collectively, the HSBC Summer Analyst programme acts as an extended ‘assessment centre’ for people looking to join HSBC as a Full-Time Analyst once they finish university.
