HSBC said that the new structured investment product will offer capital protected exposure to equity indices in Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, Thailand and India with a five-year investment term.
According to the HSBC, the return on the Asian Equity investment is based on the performance of: the Hang Seng Index; the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index; the Taiwan TAIEX Index; the KOSPI 200 (Korea); the MSCI Singapore Free Index; the SET 50 Index (Thailand); and the iShares MSCI India Fund.
The sixth product in HSBC’s 100+ Series of structured investments, the Asian Equity Investment
broadens the exposure offered in HSBC’s earlier products, which focused on China and East Asia.
HSBC Bank Australia Head of Sales in Global Banking and Markets Ian Collins said that the Asian
Equity Investment is designed for investors who want to access the upside exposure of the Asian growth story with the security of full capital protection in the event of market corrections.
Investors can choose between a growth or income version of the investment, or a combination of the two, catering to different cash flow requirements.
