HSBC Fund Management (Malta) Ltd is now offering three new five-year capital protected products. These products, denominated in GBP, EUR and USD are structured as Medium Term Notes and are aimed for those investors seeking capital protection with potential capital growth.

The HSBC Callable Enhanced Growth (GBP) Note 2013, the HSBC Callable Growth (USD) Note 2013 and the HSBC Accelerator (EUR) Note 2013, are designed to protect investors’ capital if held until maturity and provide investors with potential returns linked to the Dow Jones EURO STOXX 50, the Nikkei 225, and other Asian markets in varying proportions for each respective note.

The Notes have an added interesting feature – they may be called in by the issuer within the first four years of the investment period. If this happens, the MTN will close at that point and pay very attractive returns which can potentially range between 10 and 40 per cent (equivalent to 8.78% on a compounded annual return basis).

“Previous issues of HSBC’s Medium Term Notes have been taken up quickly as these are regarded as attractive investment opportunities by investors. These are excellent products, giving investors the peace of mind that their capital is protected if held until maturity, and offering high participation rates in the potential growth of well established indices. This is in addition to the ability for investors to sell their holding before maturity,” said Stephen Pandolfino, Managing Director of HSBC Fund Management (Malta) Ltd.

This limited offer opened on 22 October 2007 and will close on 24 December 2007, or earlier if oversubscribed. Applications may be obtained from any HSBC Bank Malta p.l.c. Branch.
