Investors eat up Dim Sum Bonds in London

UK Private investors can now trade RMB bonds in London as the first-ever RMB-denominated bond was released outside of China with a London Stock Exchange (LSE) listing in the first week of May 2012. The HSBC Holdings Plc-issued bond was listed on the exchange's retail-bonds electronic-order book. It is the first bond denominated in a currency other than sterling to be offered to retail investors since the bond-trading system was introduced in February 2010. The LSE bond is available to private investors in denominations of RMB 10,000 (USD1,600) that pays an annual coupon of 2.875%.
