HSBC Global Investment Funds - Multi-Asset Style Factors IC

The sub-fund aims to provide long term total return with a low correlation to traditional asset classes. The sub-fund’s average volatility is expected to be around 7% over the investment horizon. It may fluctuate due to market conditions and the annualised volatility could be lower or higher than this level. The sub-fund employs long/short investment strategies within a set of distinct investment styles (“Styles”) and across a diversified range of asset classes (including equity, fixed income and currency) on a global basis, including Emerging Markets. These strategies are not cash-neutral and may assume directional exposure to each of the asset classes in which the sub-fund invests. The Styles employed by the sub-fund include, but are not limited to, carry, value and momentum.
