HSBC Holdings Plc’s insurance chief said the company is seeing an “explosion” in demand for estate planning and wealth transfer solutions as clients seek to de-risk from global uncertainty.

The insurance arm also manages $120 billion of investments for its clients, which face a challenging environment where valuations are stretched and as sectors are targeted by the AI revolution, Edward Moncreiffe said in a Bloomberg TV interview.
