HSBC Securities USA

No. HSBC Securities USA operates as a registered broker-dealer and investment advisory affiliate, distributing investment, annuity, and insurance products primarily to HSBC Bank USA's retail and Premier clients. It does not manage committed private equity funds or deploy discretionary institutional capital into direct investments.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is an affiliate of HSBC Bank USA, N.A. It provides investment products and services, while the bank provides banking products and services. A third entity, HSBC Insurance Agency (USA) Inc.—a wholly owned subsidiary of the bank—handles insurance products. Together they form the U.S. wealth ecosystem under the HSBC Group umbrella.

There is no public disclosure indicating the firm manages institutional allocations as a principal investment vehicle. Its primary role is product distribution and wealth advisory for individual clients. Institutional allocators seeking private equity exposure through HSBC would typically engage with the group's global asset management division rather than this U.S. broker-dealer.

The firm distributes advisory solutions, annuities, variable life insurance, and other investment products governed by U.S. securities regulations. Products are accessed through HSBC Wealth Relationship Managers who develop personalized financial plans for clients. All investments are subject to standard risk disclosures—they are not FDIC insured and may lose value.

The firm is registered with the SEC and is a member of NYSE, FINRA, and SIPC. Client brokerage accounts carry SIPC protection, while bank deposit products within those accounts are covered by FDIC insurance up to allowable limits. FINRA's BrokerCheck service provides free background research on the firm and its registered representatives.
