HSBC Global Strategy Conservative Portfolio AC

The Fund aims to provide growth in line with its risk profile in the long term, which is a period of five years or more. To achieve its objective the Fund will invest a minimum of 70% in collective investment schemes, including exchange traded funds, which aim to track the performance of market indices. Such assets shall, in turn, invest in bonds, shares of companies (equities), and property securities that make up the relevant index. The Fund may also invest up to 30% directly in bonds where exposure to this asset class can be adequately achieved with a relatively low number of holdings and may invest directly in shares of companies and property securities in limited circumstances. The Fund will be invested across global markets, with a bias towards bonds.
