10:24 AM EDT, 10/15/2025 (MT Newswires) -- HSBC ( HSBC ) is planning a significant risk transfer related to a portfolio of about 3 billion pounds ($4 billion) of investment-grade and high-yield corporate loans, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing unnamed sources familiar with the situation.

Significant risk transfers, known as SRTs, allow banks to insure loans against default by selling credit-linked notes to funds, which boosts lenders' solvency ratios, the report said.

HSBC ( HSBC ) didn't immediately respond to a request for comment by MT Newswires.
