HSBC Bank International launched four new capital secured growth funds, all designed to offer investors capital protection and a choice of good growth and income potential. The new funds provide investors access to the fast-growing markets of China and India as well as the opportunity to invest in the multimedia, property or commodities sectors through a variety of indices or a stock basket.
Investors can choose between a three-year, three-and-a-half year, four-year or five-year investment term. The funds provide investors with a combination of both bonus payments and growth potential, and are designed to protect and return all the capital if held to maturity.
Charles Azzopardi, Managing Director of HSBC Investment Services (Malta) Ltd, said: “We continue to look for the latest opportunities the market can offer and combining the potential of the Chinese and Indian markets with capital security is clearly an innovation that will be attractive to many investors.
This will enable investors who see the potential of these regions to invest without worrying about capital losses.
Moreover, seeking new avenues for clients has also led to the development of a multimedia fund which has the potential to capitalise on the increasing global demand for digital media technology.
Investors would be linking their bonus payments in this fund to the performance of 20 leading stocks over three years.”
The four new funds are available for a limited period until 13 March. Customers who invest up to the 26 February 2007 will benefit from additional incentive shares. The minimum investment required is only $/e/£5,000.
Customers interested in finding out more about these funds can contact HSBC Bank Malta plc on Customer Service 2380-2380.
