NO OFFER

Information or opinions contained on this Site or in any Local Sites do not constitute an offer to sell or offer to buy any securities or financial instruments or investment, tax or legal advice or any advice or recommendation in respect of such securities or other financial instruments.

Should you seek to rely in any way whatsoever upon any Content contained on this Site, you do so at your own risk.

The information, products and services offered may not be suitable or appropriate for all investors. The information does not take into account individual circumstances, investment objectives, financial situation or specific needs of the investors. This Site does not refer to any particular tax treatment. Tax regimes depend on each potential client’s own circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Before you make any decision or take any action that might affect you or your personal finances or business, you should read the latest version of the Prospectus, the articles of incorporation, the Key Information Documents (KIDs) and the latest annual report and semi-annual report. In addition, you should always consult a suitably qualified professional adviser(s) to obtain appropriate financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advice.

FUND DOCUMENTS

The Prospectus, the latest annual report and semi-annual report are available free of charge in English on this Site, as well as the Key Information Documents (KIDs), available in Swedish.

RISKS

Please note that the value of investments and the income derived from them may fluctuate and you may not receive back the amount originally invested. Investing in any HSBC Fund involves risk including the possible loss of capital. There can be no assurance that a Fund or sub-fund’s investment objective will be achieved or that there will be a return on capital. Where the Fund is denominated in a currency other than an investor’s base currency, changes in the rate of exchange may have an adverse effect on price and income.

For more information about the inherent risks of the Fund or sub-fund, please read the latest version in force of the Prospectus, the articles of incorporation, the Key Information Documents (KIDs) and the latest annual report and semi-annual report. Please pay attention to the risk sections of the Prospectus.

PERFORMANCE

The past performance figures presented on this Site are not a reliable indicator of future performance and can be misleading. Unless otherwise stated, the past performance figures are net of fees and expenses, except any potential entry and exit fees.

Where overseas securities are held the rate of currency exchange may cause the value of the investment to go up as well as down. Investments in growth markets may involve a greater risk than investments in mature markets.

Any future performance, forecast, simulation, projection or target are indicative only and are not guaranteed in any way. We accept no liability for any failure to meet such a forecast, simulation, projection or target.

No benchmark is directly identical to a Fund or sub-fund. The performance of a benchmark is not a reliable indicator of future performance of the Fund or sub-fund.

COST

Please read the Fund prospectus and the Key Information Documents (KIDs) to find more information about the costs and conditions of the Fund, sub-fund and classes.

TAX

Tax treatments depend on the individual circumstances of each investor and may be subject to change in the future. Depending on your own tax regime, any return from your investment in shares may be taxed differently. We recommend you to liaise with your financial counsel to receive further information about the tax treatment applicable to your personal situation.

Future changes in law, regulation or tax levels could affect the information on this Site.
