ESG and Sustainable Investing strategies
At HSBC Asset Management, we are committed to developing new capabilities that seek to deliver investment performance, alongside the potential to contribute to more sustainable outcomes.
To address the diverse needs and interests of our clients, we provide a broad range of ESG and sustainable investing solutions across both traditional and alternative asset classes.
HSBC ESG and Sustainable Investing Framework is an HSBC internal classification framework used to establish sustainable investment standards and promote consistency across asset classes and business lines where relevant. HSBC AM strategies within the HSBC Group ESG and Sustainable Investment Framework may not necessarily be marketed as sustainable externally, depending on the relevant regulatory regime for sustainable investment disclosure where there may be differences in requirements.

The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Where overseas investments are held the rate of currency exchange may also cause the value of such investments to fluctuate.
Strategies with a focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) or sustainable investing may be subject to:
- Sustainability risk: ESG-related events or conditions could cause a material negative impact on the value of investments
- ESG data risk: Incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent data from issuers or third-parties may limit the effectiveness of ESG analysis
- Greenwashing risk: The risk of issuers misrepresenting their sustainability practices or credentials
- Concentration risk: ESG-focused strategies may limit exposure to certain sectors or regions, potentially reducing diversification
- Regulatory risk: Changes in sustainability disclosure frameworks or taxonomies could impact portfolio construction and compliance
