Anlageziel HSBC Global Investment Funds - Global Lower Carbon Bond XC Fonds

The sub-fund aims to provide long term total return by investing in a portfolio of corporate bonds, while promoting ESG characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of SFDR. The sub-fund aims to do this with a lower carbon intensity calculated as a weighted average of the carbon intensities of the sub-fund’s investments, than the weighted average of the constituents of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporate Diversified Hedged USD (the “Reference Benchmark”). The sub-fund invests (normally a minimum of 70% of its net assets) in Investment Grade and Non-Investment Grade rated fixed income and other similar securities issued by companies meeting certain lower carbon criteria (“Lower Carbon Criteria”). The sub-fund will invest in both developed markets and Emerging Markets. Investments will be denominated in developed market and Emerging Market currencies.
