HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt AG, operating as HSBC Trinkaus, was founded in 1785 and is one of the longest-established members of the HSBC Group. HSBC Trinkaus has operations in private, commercial and investment banking and asset management.

The bank was managed by five general partners under an unusual German partnership arrangement. On 29 November 2005 the partners voted to convert the bank to AG or limited company status, and in August 2006, HSBC Trinkaus & Burkhardt completed its transition from a German limited partnership (KGaA) to a corporation limited by shares (AG). In 2007 it was renamed to HSBC Trinkaus.
