Leaving aside the 200k clip, there has to be some reason that a sub with a 2bn issue size from a major bank is yielding 8%.
If the nominal spread is to be believed, it's not even very liquid.

It's a subordinated contingent convertible (coco). I'm apparently not allowed to post a link to the prospectus, but do a search on the ISIN and you'll find it on the HSBC website.

it's a Coco, so going concern capital - no need for HSBC to go out of business to lose your money, just ask CS Coco investors.
Fairly priced imv.

Haha, I thank you. I hadn't realised that it was my first post (long-time lurker) - if I had, I would have made more of a literary effort!
