HSBC GIF Mexico Equity AC

The sub-fund invests for long term total return in a portfolio of Mexican equities. The sub-fund invests (normally a minimum of 90% of its net assets) in equities and equity equivalent securities of companies which are based in Mexico as well as those companies which carry out the larger part of their business activities in Mexico. There are no capitalization restrictions and the sub-fund will normally invest across a range of market capitalizations. The sub-fund may achieve its investment objective by investing up to 10% of its net assets in units or shares of UCITS and/or other Eligible UCIs (including other sub-funds of HSBC Global Investment Funds). The sub-fund may use financial derivative instruments for hedging and cash flow management (for example, Equitization). However, the sub-fund will not use financial derivative instruments extensively for investment purposes.
