HONG KONG -- HSBC on Monday announced it is acquiring competitor Citigroup's retail wealth management business in China, as the U.S. bank continues to wind down the Asian consumer franchise business.

The London-headquartered bank is taking a $3.6 billion portfolio from Citi, which includes deposits and other assets in mainland China but excludes credit cards, mortgages and other loans, HSBC said in a statement.
