- Work with Sales and Trading teams to support client portfolios and learn about key asset classes, including foreign exchange, emerging market rates, commodities, global debt markets, equities, and securities financing.
  
- Build tools and finance models using Excel, VBA, or Python to support trading and sales activity.
  
- Learn to use industry platforms such as Bloomberg, Reuters, and HSBC’s own tools.
