HSBC GLOBAL INVESTMENT FUNDS - ULTRA SHORT DURATION BOND - PC HKD ACC Fonds

The Fund aims to provide short term capital growth and income by investing in a portfolio of bonds and money market instruments, while promoting environmental, social and governance (ESG) characteristics. The Fund aims to have a higher ESG score than its reference benchmark, calculated as a weighted average of the ESG scores of the issuers of the Fund's investments versus the weighted average of the ESG scores of its reference benchmark. In normal market conditions, the average duration of the portfolio holdings of the Fund is not expected to exceed one year, which is considered to be ultra-short duration. In normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 70% in either fixed or floating-rate income bonds and other similar securities including money market instruments, that are rated investment grade and are issued or guaranteed by governments, government-related entities, supranational entities, and companies, based in developed or emerging markets. The Fund will invest less than 30% of its assets in non-investment grade rated and unrated bonds and up to 10% of its assets in securities issued or guaranteed by any single sovereign issuer with a non-investment grade rating.
