HSBC Bank International has just launched five new capital secured growth funds, all designed to offer investors capital protection and a choice of good growth and income potential.
The five new funds offer investors a diverse selection of investment opportunities linked to the economies of China, Japan and Europe, the Euro Zone property market and a fund linked to a basket of oil and gold stocks. Investors can choose between a three-year, four-year or five-year investment term; to invest in US dollars, sterling or euro; and between growth only, or a combination of both income and growth potential.
Managing Director of HSBC Investment Services (Malta) Ltd, Charles Azzopardi said: “Capital security is an important feature of our funds but they are also designed to provide our customers with a choice of innovative investment links. One of our new funds, the Dual Commodity Fund is designed to provide two income payments plus the opportunity to receive an additional return linked to oil and gold stocks at the end of the investment term.”
Mr Azzopardi also observed that: “Supplies of oil, critical to economic growth, have not grown as fast as recent global oil demand and potentially this tight gap between supply and demand will persist in the future. Gold has enjoyed a strong recent price increase and is expected to continue to be a hedge against inflation.”
The five new funds, available for a limited period until 16 March, are the Dual Commodity Fund, the Property Index Growth Fund, the China Bonus Fund, the European Giants Growth Fund and the Japan Opportunity Fund. The minimum investment required is only US$/EUR/GBP 5,000.
Customers who invest up to 24 February will benefit from additional incentive shares. Customers interested in finding out more about these funds can contact HSBC Bank Malta plc on Customer Service 2380- 2380.
