HSBC's Sir Mark Tucker to leave in September for return to insurer AIA
Banking giant HSBC's outgoing chairman Sir Mark Tucker will step down at the end of September to take up the same post at Hong Kong-based insurer AIA, the bank has announced. It was announced last month that Sir Mark would retire by the end of 2025, ending an eight-year tenure at the helm of the bank's board. His departure date comes after AIA confirmed his appointment as non-executive chairman on October 1 – a move that sees him return to the group he led as chief executive for seven years until 2017. HSBC is still searching for his permanent replacement, but Brendan Nelson, head of the group's audit committee, will take on the role on an interim basis. Sir Mark will remain as a strategic adviser to the group's chief executive Georges Elhedery and the board as the hunt for his successor continues. Ann Godbehere, senior independent director who is leading the search, said the bank was 'making progress' on the succession process. On his appointment at AIA, Sir Mark said: 'I am deeply honoured and excited to be taking on the role of independent chairman of one of the world's largest insurance companies. 'AIA plays a critical role in protecting the financial wellbeing of millions of families across Asia.' At the insurer, he replaces Edmund Sze-Wing Tse, who retires after a career spanning more than six decades with the business. Sir Mark Tucker took on the role of chairman at HSBC in October 2017 and has been at the helm of one of the world's biggest banks during crises including the Covid pandemic, the rising cost of living, and growing tensions between the US and China. Under the leadership of Mr Elhedery, the bank is undergoing a major overhaul as it seeks to slash costs by 1.5 billion US dollars (£1.1 billion) by the end of 2026. HSBC has also faced mounting pressure from one of its biggest shareholders, Chinese insurer Ping An, in recent years to split the bank in two and create a separate Asia-headquartered business. A plan to break up the bank was rejected by shareholders last year, but the restructuring announcement initially prompted some speculation that it could eventually fracture. Sir Mark said on announcing plans to leave last month that it had been a 'great honour and privilege to lead HSBC as chair'. Sign in to access your portfolio

More affordable housing coming to South St. Pete with Habitat for Humanity partnership
The Brief To address the affordable housing crisis, the City of St. Petersburg is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build new homes in South St. Pete. A new community of 40 townhomes called Pelican Place is coming to South St. Pete. The city donated a vacant lot off 18th Avenue for the project, which sits across from the mostly empty Tangerine Plaza. ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. - In a bold effort to address the affordable housing crisis, the City of St. Petersburg is partnering with Habitat for Humanity to build new homes in South St. Pete. It's to ensure that families who live and work in the area have a real shot at staying in their community. As the Tampa Bay region continues to grow, so does the cost of housing — forcing many long-time residents out. Follow FOX 13 on YouTube "The need continues to increase, and we continue to see so many people priced out of our community," said Mike Sutton, the president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity of Tampa Bay and Gulf Side. The people most affected? Teachers, firefighters, police officers and essential workers who form the backbone of the city. Local perspective Habitat currently has 140 families enrolled in its homeownership program. One of the developments they'll have access to is Pelican Place — a new community of 40 townhomes in South St. Pete. READ: Florida ranked as the worst state in the country for aging in place: Study The city donated a vacant lot off 18th Avenue for the project, which sits across from the mostly empty Tangerine Plaza — also slated for redevelopment. "By putting 40 homeowners across the street in these townhomes... we hope it's a catalyst to get Tangerine Plaza redeveloped," Sutton said. Big picture view What sets this project apart is Habitat's commitment to sourcing future homeowners from within the surrounding neighborhood. "There's a pretty significant effort on our end to recruit future homeowners from the CRA [Community Redevelopment Area]," Sutton explained.

Dig deeper The homes at Pelican Place will be priced at $300,000 each, available to families earning less than 80% of the area's median income. And to keep the homes truly affordable, buyers will have zero-percent mortgages. Still, building homes isn't cheap — especially post-pandemic. "It costs us about $100,000 more to build a home than it did before 2020," Sutton said. What's next Pelican Place is expected to break ground by the end of this year.
