About Merrill Lynch HSBC

Launched in the UK in May 2001, Merrill Lynch HSBC aims to provide a high-quality direct investing and banking service to private investors.

Merrill Lynch HSBC was originally a joint venture between Merrill Lynch, the pre-eminent American investment bank, and HSBC, the global financial services group. They used the skill and resources of both companies to create a product that won the Most Consumer-Friendly Online Broker award at the Investor's Week Online Finance Awards in 2001.

In July 2002, Merrill Lynch HSBC became 100% owned by HSBC, and became a full member of the HSBC Group.
