Fund Aims

Objective: The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the HSBC Chinese Equity Fund (USD) - the underlying fund.

Underlying Fund Objective: The fund aims to provide long term capital growth by investing in a portfolio of Chinese shares while promoting ESG characteristics within the meaning of Article 8 of SFDR. In normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in shares (or securities similar to shares) of companies of any size that are based in, or carry out the larger part of their business activities in, China, including Hong Kong SAR. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in other funds, including HSBC funds. The fund includes the identification and analysis of a company's ESG credentials as an integral part of the investment decision making process to reduce risk and enhance returns. ESG Credentials may include, but are not limited to: - environmental and social factors, including but not limited to physical risks of climate change and human capital management, that may have a material impact on a security issuer's financial performance and valuation. - corporate governance practices that protect minority investor interests and promote long term sustainable value creation. The fund will not invest in equities issued by companies with specified involvement in specific excluded activities including the production of controversial weapons or tobacco and companies with more than 10% revenue generated from thermal coal extraction or coal-fired power generation and having no clearly defined, credible plan to reduce exposure to below 10%. The fund may use derivatives for hedging or efficient portfolio management. The fund is denominated in US dollars.

Important Information

Because of changes in exchange rates the value of your investment, as well as any money you take from it, can go down as well as up.

Some funds may invest in ‘underlying’ funds or other investment vehicles. The performance of our fund, compared to what it’s invested in won’t be exactly the same. That can be due to additional charges, cash management (needed to help people to enter and leave our fund when they want), tax and the timing of investments (this is known as a fund’s dealing cycle, it varies between managers and can be several days).

Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of fund charges and further costs, but take no account of product charges, or any Annual Management Charge paid for by the deduction of units. Charges and further costs may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in the fund's currency of denomination with gross income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.

This factsheet is for information purposes only. If there is information or terminology included that you would like to discuss, then please contact an adviser. Investors should refer to their policy documentation and supporting brochures for fund availability, investment strategy, any product information and charges. Every care has been taken in populating this output, however it must be appreciated that neither Broadridge, Prudential nor their sources guarantee the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this information or make any warranties regarding results from its usage.
