| About the Asian Bond Fund |
|
| Following the successful launch of the US dollar denominated Asian Bond Fund ("ABF")1 in June 2003, the central banks and monetary authorities in the East Asia and Pacific region2 extends the ABF concept to include bonds denominated in Asian currencies to further develop the local bond markets in the region. |
|
| In support of the Asian Bond Fund initiative to develop the Asian bond markets and consistent with our commitment to offer quality investment solution, HSBC Global Asset Management, one of the Hong Kong Dollar bond investment experts, has developed this easy-to-use efficient investment tool for investors to manage their wealth. |
