London-based HSBC Holdings plc (ADR) (NYSE:HSBC) is one of the 10 largest companies in the world by assets. The 152-year-old bank has assets worth $2.37 trillion. The bank has more than 7,500 offices around the world, including in Europe, Asia Pacific, and Africa and the Middle East. Europe’s biggest bank by assets is currently looking for a new CEO after Stuart Gulliver told the board earlier this year that he planned to step down by 2018. The regulatory authorities in the UK have advised the bank to give “full consideration” to hiring an outsider as chief executive.
