Responsible Investing

Opening a world of sustainable opportunities

At HSBC Asset Management, we are committed to serving our clients to achieve their investment objectives. We offer international expertise and innovative investment opportunities to support these goals.

Our history in responsible investing dates back to the launch of our first Socially Responsible Fund in 2001. Since then, we have continued to develop our ESG and sustainable investing framework to provide a range of investment solutions which include sustainability considerations alongside investment performance objectives.

As a signatory to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment (UN PRI), we support the adoption of these standards across the investment industry. By embedding sustainability into our culture and investment practices, we aim to generate long-term value and growth for our clients and the communities in which we operate.

HSBC ESG and Sustainable Investing Framework is an HSBC internal classification framework used to establish sustainable investment standards and promote consistency across asset classes and business lines where relevant. HSBC AM strategies within the HSBC Group ESG and Sustainable Investment Framework may not necessarily be marketed as sustainable externally, depending on the relevant regulatory regime for sustainable investment disclosure where there may be differences in requirements.

Our Responsible Investment policies, commitments and standards set out our approach to responsible investment, and explain our key corporate commitments to the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative and the Finance for Biodiversity pledge. They also set out our firm-wide policies on Energy, Thermal Coal and Banned Weapons.

We may over time update, consolidate, or withdraw certain policies and documents, as our approach to responsible investment evolves.

Stewardship is a powerful tool for change. It plays an important role in enhancing investment returns as well as supporting sustainable objectives. We prioritise engagement over divestment in order to influence issuers and companies that we invest in.
