Spear’s Review

Henri Etchegoyen is a director at HSBC Global Private Banking, specialising in investment and lending solutions for HNW individuals.

The former Credit Suisse private banker typically serves hedge fund managers, private equity partners and other financial industry professionals who require a keen knowledge of markets and sophisticated portfolio structuring. ‘I take great interest in markets and investing,’ he tells Spear’s. 

He praises HSBC’s global reach, saying it offers one of the most ‘comprehensive wealth planning platforms in the UK in terms of a private bank’, meaning wider access to investments for clients.

Etchegoyen prioritises ‘openness’ and ‘transparency’ with clients, recognising that in the world of private banking, reputation is key to success. ‘Almost all of my clients have been built upon existing client referrals.’
