This is made up of the annual management charge (AMC) and other expenses. The other expenses include such things as: fund administration services, accounting and legal fees, and custodian and settlement charges for the investments the HSBC Global Investment fund holds. When you combine these with the AMC, you have the ongoing charge, which is the combined annual operating expense of the fund.

The ongoing charge is payable to the fund manager of the HSBC Global Investment funds (HSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited). You will not see this charge shown on a statement – instead of being taken from your investment, it is reflected in the price of the shares.

Details of the total ongoing costs associated with each HSBC Global Investment fund are documented in the key investor information documents (KIIDs) and factsheets which are updated from time to time. Refer to these documents for the latest ongoing charges and current prices before you invest.

We also undertake the role of the Jersey sub-distributor of the funds for which we're paid a distribution fee of 50% of the annual management fee. We receive the payment of the annual management fee from the UK distributor, HSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited.

The payment of the distribution fee is made monthly and is calculated pro rata to the value of the shares. Gross annual management fee rates range from 0.50% to 1.75% per annum as specified in the prospectus of the relevant fund. We're not paid a distribution fee in relation to the B share class.

Please remember that the value of investments, and any income received from them can fall as well as rise, is not guaranteed and you may not get back the amount you invested. This could also happen as a result of changes in currency exchange rates, particularly where overseas securities are held or where investments are converted from one currency to another. We always recommend that any Investments held should be viewed as a medium to long-term investment, at least five years.

Economies in emerging markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade.

Frequently asked questions

A higher level of risk could bring the potential for greater growth. But there's also more chance that your investment could go down in value.

When you choose an investment, you should think about the level of risk you're willing to take and how much you might be willing to lose.

How comfortable would you feel if your investments fell in value? How would a loss impact your finances in the short term? In the long term?

To decide if a certain level of risk might be ok for you, have a read the risk description for each of the 5 portfolios.

If you're not sure about investing or how much risk is appropriate for you, please seek financial advice.

Each portfolio is given a risk category. To keep within this risk category, the fund manager continuously tracks the performance of individual assets, and they use their understanding of the market to adjust the holdings in the fund.

The fund manager’s goal is always to maximise the return within the portfolio’s designated level of risk.
