HSBC Global Sustainable Multi-Asset Income Fund

Multi-asset opportunities delivered sustainably

Important Information

  • The Fund invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of global assets that form part of sustainable investment strategies (“Sustainable Assets”).
  • The Fund invests its asset based on certain ESG and sustainable investment strategies. The use of Sustainable Criteria may affect the Fund’s investment performance which perform differently compared to similar funds that do not use such criteria.
  • The Fund's asset allocation strategy balancing income, long term expected returns and risk may not achieve the desired results under all circumstances and market conditions. Change in sustainable investment strategies may involve rebalancing of the investments of the Fund and therefore the Fund may incur greater transaction costs than a fund employing a buy-and-hold allocation strategy.
  • The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments (eg. Covered Call Options) for investment purpose which may lead to higher volatility to its net asset value.
  • The Fund may pay dividends out of capital or gross of expenses. Dividend is not guaranteed and may result in capital erosion and reduction in net asset value.
  • The Fund may invest in other collective investment schemes, and need to bear the underlying funds’ fees and expenses on top of the Fund’s own fees and expenses.
  • The Fund’s investments may involve substantial credit, credit rating, currency, volatility, liquidity, interest rate, valuation, emerging markets, tax and political risks and risks related to general equity market, general debt securities, sovereign debt, investment strategy, mainland China market, small/mid-capitalisation companies, non-investment grade and unrated debt securities, convertible securities. Investors may suffer substantial loss of their investments in the Fund.
  • Base Currency Hedged Share Classes and RMB denominated Class are subject to higher currency and exchange rate risks.

Sustainable development goals

Source: United Nations, as of 31 December 2021. The Sustainable Development Goals are a call for action by all countries – poor, rich and middle-income – to promote prosperity while protecting the planet. They recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth and address a range of social needs including education, health, social protection, and job opportunities, while tackling climate change and environmental protection. More important than ever, the goals provide a critical framework for COVID-19 recovery. For illustrative purposes only.

The Fund incorporates an income approach that focuses on relatively attractive yielding assets, while taking ESG factors into account. This helps mitigate the potential impact on income from a narrower investable universe due to ESG screening.
