Source: HSBC Asset Management, data as at 31 March 2026 # Investment objective The Fund aims to invest for dividend yield and provide long -term capital growth. # Investment strategy The Fund usually invests a minimum of 90% of net assets in shares of companies incorporated in developed markets or those that earn the majority of their revenue from developed markets. The Fund may invest in securities similar to share including American Depositary Receipts, Global Depositary Receipts and Non -Voting Depositary Receipts which are issued by a bank or trust company evidencing ownership of shares of a non -US issuer and are alternatives to directly purchasing the underlying securities. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in other funds, including HSBC funds. The Investment Manager applies quantitative investment process to the Investment Universe which is designed to maximise the exposure to shares which have the most attractive income and quality characteristics whilst minimising the portfolio’s risk profile through the application o f a series of constraints established relative to the reference benchmark, such as, sector, country and stock weights. The Fund is an actively managed and has been categorised as an Article 6 fund for the purpose of the SFDR. See the Prospectus for a full description of the investment objectives and derivative usage. # Main risks • Derivatives may be used by the Fund, and these can behave unexpectedly. The pricing and volatility of many derivatives may diverge from strictly reflecting the pricing or volatility of their underlying reference(s), instrument or asset. • Investment Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source. ## Share class details Key metrics NAV per share USD 11.27 Fund facts UCITS V compliant Yes UK reporting fund status (UKRS) Yes ISA eligible Yes Dividend treatment Distributing Distribution frequency Quarterly Dividend ex -date 29 January 2026 Dividend yield ¹ 0.92% Last paid dividend 0.044900 Dividend currency USD Fund base currency USD Share class base currency USD Domicile Ireland Inception date 3 June 2025 Shares outstanding 11,106,517 Fund size USD 125,231,067 Reference benchmark 100% MSCI World Index Investment strategy method Smart -Beta SIPP eligible Yes Issuer HSBC ETFs PLC Listing date 5 June 2025 Fees and expenses Ongoing charge figure ² 0.250% Codes ISIN IE000KL4O2Z8 SEDOL BN72RN1 ¹Dividend Yield: represents the ratio of distributed income over the last 12 months to the fund’s current Net Asset Value. ²Ongoing Charges Figure is an estimate as the share class has not been priced for a full financial year.
