# G Sachs: HSBC HOLDINGS Sale of Singapore Life and Health Insurance Business Simplifies Biz Strategy

G Sachs published a report stating that HSBC HOLDINGS (0005.HK) announced that it has reached an agreement to sell HSBC Life (Singapore) to Allianz for USD2.1 billion, with the transaction expected to be completed in 1H27. Following completion, HSBC Singapore will enter into a 15-year exclusive bancassurance distribution agreement with Allianz to exclusively distribute Allianz insurance products to local retail banking and wealth management clients.

The broker noted that HSBC HOLDINGS (0005.HK) will receive an upfront one-off payment from the distribution agreement and expects to recognize a pre-tax disposal gain of USD1.8 billion at the consolidated level. The disposal transaction is tax exempt and is expected to increase the group's Common Equity Tier 1 capital ratio (CET1) by up to 15 bps. G Sachs believes the sale is in line with management's strategy to streamline operations and focus on areas with strong competitive advantages. Given that the business only holds around a 6% market share locally, making it difficult to achieve meaningful scale, the disposal of this non-core and capital-intensive business was expected.

G Sachs maintained its "Buy" rating on HSBC HOLDINGS (0005.HK), with a TP of HKD181. (ad/u)
