Class:USD ISIN:IE00BKZGB098 ## Objectives and Investment Policy Investment Objective: The Fund aims to provide long term capital growth. Investment Policy: In normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 90% of its assets in shares of companies of any size, that are based anywhere in the world, including emerging markets. The Investment Manager identifies stocks from the MSCI All Country World Index and ranks them from the least attractive to most attractive based upon certain factors, such as Value, Quality, Momentum, Low Risk and Size. The Investment Manager will then quantitatively select the shares to create a portfolio which maximises the exposure to the highest ranked stocks whilst minimising the Fund’s risk characteristics through the application of a series of constraints such as sector and company weights. The Fund may invest in Chinese equities. The Fund may also invest in China A-shares either directly (through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and/or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect) or indirectly through China A-shares Access Products (CAAP) or through funds. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in other funds, including other HSBC funds. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its assets in total return swaps and contracts for difference. However, this is not expected to exceed 5%. The Fund may also invest in derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes (such as to manage risk and costs, or to generate additional capital or income) and for investment purposes. � The Fund may enter into securities lending transactions for up to 30% of its assets. However, this is not expected to exceed 25%. � The reference currency of the Fund is USD. The reference currency of this share class is USD. � The Fund is actively managed and does not track a benchmark. The reference benchmark for the Fund is MSCI AC World Net. � The Investment Advisor will use its discretion to invest in securities not included in the reference benchmark based on active investment management strategies and specific investment opportunities. It is foreseen that a significant percentage of the Fund's investments will be components of the reference benchmark. However, their weightings may deviate materially from those of the reference benchmark. � The deviation of the Fund’s performance relative to the benchmark is also monitored, but not constrained, to a defined range. � Income is distributed. � Authorised Participants only may deal in the Fund’s shares directly with the UCITS. � The Fund’s shares are listed on one or more stock exchange(s). � You may sell your investment on most working days. � Recommendation: this Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within a period of 5 years. � This product is based overseas and is not subject to UK sustainable investment labelling and disclosure requirements. ## Risk and Reward Profile Lower risk Higher risk Typically lower rewards Typically higher rewards ## 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 The risk and reward indicator is based on historical data and may not be a reliable indication of the future risk profile of the Fund. The risk and reward category shown is not guaranteed to remain unchanged and may shift over time. The lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment. Why is this Fund in this specific category? This Fund is classified in category 6 because its price or simulated data has shown high fluctuations historically. Material risks not fully captured by the Risk and Reward Indicator: > � Counterparty Risk The possibility that the counterparty to a transaction may be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations. > � Derivatives Risk Derivatives 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. > � Exchange Rate Risk Changes in currency exchange rates could reduce or increase investment gains or investment losses, in some cases significantly. > � Investment Leverage Risk 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. > � Liquidity Risk Liquidity Risk is the risk that a Fund may encounter difficulties meeting its obligations in respect of financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or other financial assets, thereby compromising existing or remaining investors. > � Operational Risk Operational risks may subject the Fund to errors affecting transactions, valuation, accounting, and financial reporting, among other things.
