I’ve taken a while to absorb the HSBC (HSBA) Q3 results. It’s interesting to see how the market reacts a while after publication.

“1,400 more compliance staff have been hired in the third quarter, bringing the total to 24,800. That’s a staggering 10% of its total employees. HSBC now employs nearly 7,000 people in compliance roles; in 2010 there were only 1,700.”
