Focus on HSBC GIF Global Equity Sustainable Healthcare
A changing market environment, where customers increasingly demand products and services that improve patient outcomes as well as being cost effective, requires a change in investment strategy. By following an active, bottom-up approach the fund aims to provide attractive returns whilst investing in companies offering affordable innovation with distinct clinical differentiation.
Article 8 SFDR: the product promotes environmental or social characteristics, or a combination of those characteristics, provided that the companies in which the investments are made follow good governance practices even if this is not its central point, or the central point of the investment process.
The objectives are to be considered on the recommended minimum investment period; there can be no assurance that the strategy of the fund will achieve these objectives. The comments reflect the opinion of HSBC Asset Management on the markets, according to the information available to date. They do not constitute any kind of commitment from HSBC Asset Management, which cannot be held responsible for any investment or disinvestment decision taken on the basis of these comments.
Experienced and complementary healthcare investment experts
The strategy is managed by two co-heads of Sustainable Healthcare Equity who have a successful track record managing healthcare equity strategies and who previously held executive positions in the pharma and biotech industries.
The investment team will leverage on proprietary insights driven by extensive global resources in equity and ESG research and stewardship.

Key risks
The value of an investment in the portfolios and any income from them can go down as well as up and as with any investment you may not receive back the amount originally invested.
Main risks of the fund:
- Capital loss risk: It is important to remember that the value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed.
- Equity risk: Funds that invest in securities listed on a stock exchange or market could be affected by general changes in the stock market. The value of investments can go down as well as up due to equity markets movements.
- Discretionary management risk: Discretionary management is based on anticipating the evolution of different markets and securities. There is a risk that the fund will not be invested at any time in the most efficient markets and securities.
- Foreign Exchange risk: Where overseas investments are held, the rate of exchange of the currency may cause the value to go down as well as up. Variations in exchange rates between currencies can have a significant impact on the performance of the products presented.
- Small caps risk: Please note that the fund is invested in securities issued by companies which, due to their small market capitalization, are less liquid and may present higher risks.
