07:33 AM EDT, 07/10/2024 (MT Newswires) -- HSBC Holdings ( HSBC ) is redesigning parts of its investment bank to make it similar to rivals such as Citigroup ( C ) , Bloomberg News reported Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Company executives will combine several of its industry coverage groups, which should allow bankers to work more efficiently, the report said. The move is similar to how Citigroup ( C ) merged its sector groups into bigger clusters with broader coverages, Bloomberg said.

HSBC ( HSBC ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
