HSBC GIF Euro High Yield Bond AC

The sub-fund aims to provide long term total return by investing in a portfolio of Euro denominated high yielding bonds. The sub-fund invests (normally a minimum of 90% of its net assets) in Non-Investment Grade rated fixed income securities and other higher yielding securities (including unrated bonds) which are either issued by companies or issued or guaranteed by government, government agencies or supranational bodies in both developed markets and Emerging Markets. These securities are denominated in Euro and, on an ancillary basis (normally up to 10% of the sub-fund's net assets), in other developed market currencies. The sub-fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in contingent convertible securities, however this is not expected to exceed 10%. The sub-fund may achieve its investment policy 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).
