The British multinational investment bank HSBC’s Qatar division was recognized as the Best Sub-Custodian, Best Domestic Custodian and Best Fund Administrator for Retail Funds at ‘The Asset Triple A Sustainable Investing Awards 2021’.
HSBC was the first bank to establish custody services in Qatar. Since then, the local market has witnessed dynamic growth and crossed a number of milestones including attaining Emerging Market status from MSCI in 2013 and joining the Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative of the United Nations in 2016, the latter of which led to the Qatar Stock Exchanging launching its Sustainability and ESG platforms in 2018.
In this year’s ‘Triple-A Sustainable Investing Awards’ the bank won a total of 18 accolades across different markets and territories.
