Capital Protected Products
A type of investment that is designed to offer capital protection as well as the opportunity to benefit from the growth of either an index, or a basket of shares. Meant for conservative investors.
Structured Notes
These are financial instruments, usually structured along defined themes. Most Structured Notes assure your principal protection while return potential is linked either to the performance of an underlying index such as Dow Jones, NASDAQ or LIBOR, or a basket of stocks.
Mutual Funds
These investments combine your money with that of other investors, which is then used by a fund manager to pursue one or more investment objectives, such as long-term growth or income, by purchasing stocks and bonds from many different markets. The value of these investments fluctuates according to the investments held within the fund. They offer the benefits of diversification, professional management, liquidity and convenience.
Specialised Funds
Made for a more adventurous investor, specialised funds are Mutual Funds investing primarily in the securities of a particular industry, sector, and type of security or geographic region. Because of the lack of diversification, Specialised Funds offer the potential for higher returns but they also carry a greater risk.
Wrapper Bonds
Popular among individuals with substantial amounts of capital to invest, Wrapper Bonds offer flexibility, administrative convenience and tax efficiency. Structured as unit linked insurance contracts, they allow the policy benefits to be linked in value to a wide range of assets such as cash, stocks and shares and collective investment vehicles.
Traditional methods of saving do not always factor in the eroding power of inflation. Although fixed return products are essential, they alone may not be the most optimal way to make your money grow. Thus diversifying your investment portfolio is key.
Which is why at HSBC we have put together a portfolio of investment products from both HSBC and carefully selected third party fund providers, so you can be certain that your money grows under our care.
