HSBC Holdings will surpass Lloyds Banking Group this year as Europe's biggest issuer of the riskiest bank bonds, say some of region's biggest debt investors.
HSBC will sell about US$4 billion of additional Tier 1 notes, a type of contingent capital bond designed to absorb losses, to bring its total of such securities to almost US$10 billion, said Laurent Frings at Aberdeen Asset Management and Steve Hussey at AllianceBernstein Holding.
