HSBC to unveil AIA boss as its next chairman

HSBC will unveil Mark Tucker as its next chairman as soon as tomorrow, ending a year-long hunt for a replacement for Douglas Flint and marking the first stage of a shake-up at the top of Europe's biggest bank.

The 59-year-old is currently the chief executive of Hong Kong-based AIA, the Asian insurance business, but it is understood that he has tendered his resignation so that he can take up the HSBC role.

<Research Report>JPM: Mark Tucker Resignation as CEO Poses Big Loss to AIA; Share Price Expected to Respond Negatively

JPMorgan, in its report, said the departure of Mark Tucker, AIA (01299.HK)?s CEO, would be a big loss to AIA Group, as Tucker is highly regarded in the market and with investors.

Similar to Tidjane Thiam's (former UK Prudential?s Group CEO) joining Credit Suisse in 2015, it appears top insurance management personnel who have built succSource: essful businesses across the Asia market are attractive key human capital for both commercial bank and investment bank management boards, as these institutions wish to build strong positions in emerging market and/or wealth management businesses.

Therefore, JPMorgan suggested that AIA's initial share price reaction would be negative on this news. As AIA Group's regional chief executives are well established, there would be pretty low operational risk from the potential departure of the Group CEO, even if it were to happen now, the broker said.

<Research Report>G Sachs: Mark Tucker Resignation Casts Little Impact on AIA Long-term Share Price

Goldman Sachs, in its report, said AIA (01299.HK) CEO Mark Tucker, intends to retire from his executive positions on 1 September and take on the role of non-executive Group Chairman at HSBC HOLDINGS (00005.HK) from 1 October.

Ng Keng Hooi, AIA Regional Chief Executive, will become Group Chief Executive and President from 1 September.

Goldman Sachs said AIA is well positioned in Asia?s life insurance industry, with a strong balance sheet and capital generation capability.

The broker saw similarities to PRU (02378.HK), in the sense that Prudential was also well-positioned and well-capitalized with a deep bench of management experience prior to Tucker?s departure as CEO.

Goldman Sachs said AIA?s fundamentals remain intact and this announcement should have little to no negative effect on the long-term share price.

The broker kept the rating CL-Buy with target price of $56.

David Beckham sparks anger online after lumping Hong Kong and China together

Beckham (C) was in town to as AIA’s new global ambassador.

Ex-footballer David Beckham caused something of a stir online after he lumped Hong Kong and China together on social media.

Beckham, who was in town recently as AIA’s new ambassador, posted a pretty bog-standard video of Hong Kong to Facebook and Instagram — timelapses of boats zipping across Victoria Harbour, the view from the Peak, that sort of thing — and topped it with a seemingly innocuous caption, “Great 48 hours in China ”

Harmless, right? Eh, no. As anyone who witnessed the great Arrival debacle of 2016 knows, there is no better way to raise Hong Kong netizens’ hackles than conflating the city with China.

“Please change to ‘Great 48 hours in Hong Kong’. We have our own government, currency, even football team!” one Facebook user commented.

“I like you, but sorry, Hong Kong is Hong Kong. We are totally different from China!” another said.

“Hong Kong is not Chi-Na,” said one Instagram user, employing a derogatory wartime slur used by the Japanese (you remember, it was notably used by two democratically elected lawmakers who were later barred from taking their seats).

“No one cares about China. Hong Kong is not China and never will be,” another comment read.

While Beckham’s caption was changed to “Great 48 hours in Shanghai and Hong Kong ” about an hour after it was posted, that didn’t seem to please people either, as netizens from the other side of the border (presumably all of whom were conveniently on holiday, far away from the Great Firewall) got riled up by what they saw as Beckham’s cowing to Hongkongers.

“Why edited [sic] your post? You were absolutely correct, Hong Kong is undoubtedly part of China (Just Google Hong Kong handover ceremony lol),” a Facebook user said.

“Anyway, it’s good to see someone finally realize that Hong Kong is merely an administrative district of China, just same level as Shanghai.”

While we believe that there’s no way to please everyone, we’d hazard a guess that Beckham’s going to tread a little more carefully with his social media captions. And emails.
