HONG KONG (Reuters) -HSBC said on Tuesday its Chief Executive Noel Quinn will retire - a surprise departure by its hard-nosed leader of five years who has overseen a sweeping series of asset sales across the globe. Quinn, 62, has restored momentum to the bank's profit and share price by getting rid of or slashing in size underperforming businesses, including the lender's retail banking businesses in the U.S. and France, its entire Canadian subsidiary and units in smaller markets such as Argentina. HSBC's shares, which have gained roughly 30% during his tenure, rose about 1.3% and touched a nine-month high in the afternoon session in Hong Kong.
