Shares of banking and financial services stocks are trading higher following better-than-expected financial results from JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

As HSBC Holdings plc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/hsbc#NYSE">HSBC</a>) seeks a larger share of the wealth management market in the U.K., the bank has gone on a hiring spree to recruit hundreds of bankers to serve the ultra-rich. The news was first reported by The Guardian.
HSBC aims to strengthen the U.K. arm of its wealth and private banking operations by recruiting more relationship managers, who offer bespoke services and advice to rich clients in exchange for lucrative fees.
According to a source familiar with the plan, while HSBC has headquarters in London, the recruitment will be based across the U.K.
The bankers that are being recruited will be given the task of doubling the assets under management at HSBC&#39;s British wealth business to &pound;100 billion in the next five years.
<h2>HSBC&#39;s UK Growth Plans</h2>
HSBC&#39;s aim to double AUM in its U.K. wealth business to &pound;100 billion in the next five years comes as this would make the bank one of the top 5 wealth managers in Britain.
Also, with this, the bank will be able to expand in sectors that are less exposed to interest rate changes, joining rivals like Lloyds Banking Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyg#NYSE">LYG</a>) and Barclays (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>) in targeting more fee income from the mass affluent in the U.K.
As LYG and BCS are also pushing into wealth management, HSBC is expected to face tough competition from them.
Lloyds defines the &quot;mass affluent&quot; as those who have &pound;75,000-&pound;250,000 in deposits. Barclays&#39; premier service, which includes a &quot;dedicated team of premier financial guides&quot; targets people earning at least &pound;75,000 or those who have at least &pound;100,000 in savings.
Thus, HSBC is planning to strengthen its own wealth division by targeting international customers, who see advantages to banking with a lender with a much larger global footprint.
The plan, which is being supervised by HSBC U.K.&#39;s head of wealth and personal banking, Jose Carvalho, is expected to continue despite the recent management changes.
<h2>HSBC&#39;s Next CEO to Trim Middle Management to Save Costs</h2>
Carvalho&#39;s boss, HSBC Group&#39;s head of wealth and personal banking, Nuno Matos, recently resigned from his role, making Georges Elhedery the group chief executive.
Elhedery is considering a significant organizational transformation to streamline the company&#39;s operations. After taking over as the new CEO on Sept. 2, Elhedery plans to cut layers of middle management and reduce the number of country heads across HSBC&#39;s global footprint.
These efforts align with HSBC&#39;s ongoing focus on improving efficiency and cost control amid evolving economic challenges.
The idea of cutting back on middle management is indicative of a broader trend in the banking sector amid economic pressure. By reducing middle management, HSBC can reduce costs, expedite decision-making and offer lower-level staff more authority.
In the past six months, HSBC shares on the NYSE have gained 17.8% compared with the industry&#39;s growth of 10.3%.

In a move that could solidify its status as Europe&#8217;s most valuable startup, Revolut, a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/revolut">UK-based fintech</a> major, is reportedly eyeing a valuation of over $40 billion in an employee share sale.
What Happened: Revolut, which is backed by SoftBank Group Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SFTBY#OTC">SFTBY</a>), is working with Morgan Stanley to sell approximately $500 million worth of existing shares, including those owned by employees, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/2e5c1b4e-4e6f-11e5-b029-b9d50a74fd14">reported</a>, citing three people with knowledge of the plans.
The proposed valuation would represent a 21% increase from Revolut&#8217;s $33 billion valuation in its 2021 fundraising round. This would also place Revolut&#8217;s market capitalization on par with that of Lloyds Banking Group Plc. and above that of NatWest and Société Générale SA.
Despite the challenging market for European fintech companies over the past two years, Revolut&#8217;s ambitious target, if achieved, would be a remarkable feat. Other prominent fintechs like Klarna have seen their valuations plummet, raising concerns about the sector&#8217;s stability.

Revolut&#8217;s application for a UK banking license, which is crucial for the company to expand its lending and profit in its primary market, has been pending for over three years. This, coupled with other issues, has led to uncertainty about the company&#8217;s future.
Revolut did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga</a>'s request for comment.
Why It Matters: Revolut&#8217;s proposed valuation comes amid a series of strategic moves. Earlier this month, the company partnered with GTN to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/fintech/24/06/39385145/gtn-revolut-partner-to-launch-bond-trading-for-customers-in-europe">launch bond trading for European customers</a>. This move was seen as a significant step in Revolut&#8217;s mission to build an all-in-one investment platform.
However, Revolut&#8217;s journey has not been without its challenges. In May 2023, the company&#8217;s application for a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/05/32481013/revoluts-application-for-a-uk-banking-license-may-be-rejected">UK banking license was under scrutiny</a> after its auditor, BDO, cast doubt on its 2021 revenue numbers. This raised concerns about the accuracy of the company&#8217;s financial reporting.
Despite these challenges, Revolut has continued to expand its offerings. In February 2023, the company <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/23/02/30742558/revolut-launches-crypto-staking-soft-launch-begins-in-uk-and-eea-report">launched cryptocurrency staking</a> in the UK and the European Economic Area, allowing users to earn income on their crypto assets.

Lloyds Banking Group plc&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LYG#NYSE">LYG</a>) is reportedly restructuring its risk management division after an internal review.
The restructuring will result in the reduction of about 175 roles that are facing redundancy, including about 150 in risk, as per&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-10/lloyds-restructures-risk-management-unit-after-internal-review?srnd=homepage-americas" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bloomberg</a>, which cited a person familiar with the matter.&nbsp;
As per the report, the company is creating more than 100 new roles requiring more technical expertise.
A spokesperson said, &#8220;In this case, there are around 45 role reductions, after new roles being created are factored in.&#8221;
The risk division employs about 3,600 of the company&#8217;s roughly 60,000-person workforce.
According to the Financial Times, Chief Risk Officer Stephen Shelley said in a memo last month that they are looking to reset the approach to risk and controls after an internal review said &#8216;intelligent risk-taking&#8217; was being stymied.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Lloyds Banking Group's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Lloyds Banking Group's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 0.84%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
