HSBC is stepping up in the market when VC activity is slowing due to global market uncertainty in the wake of the Federal Reserve-led monetary tightening
In the first quarter of 2023, global VC investment was well under $60-billion, down from a peak of over $200-billion in the first quarter of 2022, a KPMG report said.

Roberts said the business will focus on deposit gathering, transactional banking services, and some lending.
