</p><p>
Fund managers all over the world have helped lift HSBC's share price more than 40% since the beginning of October as investors look beyond the world of the coronavirus pandemic. The surge higher has been largely attributed to investor optimism that Europe's biggest lender is set to resume paying dividends again.
</p><p>
Earlier in the week, investment bank Goldman Sachs advised its clients to buy the London-based bank which recently posted earnings which beat analyst expectations and signalled it could start limited dividend payments this year. Ping An Insurance Group, the bank's biggest shareholder, also increased its stake in the bank.
