The UK/Hong Kong-listed bank's wealth and private banking team in Geneva has added a number of new members.
HSBC has made a number of
hires and appointments in its investment management team in
Geneva.
Karl Faivre has been appointed as head of investments and wealth

In parallel, HSBC Switzerland has appointed Alexander Neil as
head of equity advisory to strengthen its stock picking
