HSBC Global Funds ICAV - Multi-Factor EMU Equity Fund - XC EUR ACC Fonds

The Fund aims to provide long-term capital growth. In normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in shares (or securities similar to shares) of companies incorporated in the developed markets of the European Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), while promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of SFDR. The Fund aims to do this by achieving a lower carbon intensity and a higher ESG score, calculated as a weighted average of carbon intensities and ESG score of the Fund's investments than the weighted average of the constituents of the reference benchmark. The Fund may invest in real estate investment trusts, depository receipts, derivatives, cash and money market instrument and funds. The Fund's investment process identifies stocks from a universe of investable shares from the MSCI EMU Index, and ranks them from the least attractive to most attractive based upon certain factors, such as value, quality, momentum, low risk and size. The Investment Manager will then quantitatively select the shares to create a portfolio which maximises the exposure to the highest ranked stocks whilst minimising the Fund's risk.
