HSBC Global Asset Management (Malta) Ltd is offering a new four-year capital protected Medium Term Note, aimed for those investors seeking capital protection with potential capital growth.

The HSBC Asia Accelerator (EUR) Note 2012, is designed to protect investors’ capital if held until maturity and provide investors with a very attractive participation rate of 100% in the combined growth of the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, MSCI Taiwan Index and MSCI Singapore Index after four years.

This Note also offers the possibility of an early maturity after two years together with a gross return of 20% (equivalent to an annualised return of 9.53%) if the levels of the indices, at the end of the second year, have registered an average combined growth of 20% or more than their Initial Index level.

As an added advantage, an incentive payment of 4.0% per annum is paid pro rata from date of subscription until the investment actually starts.

“This MTN is another excellent product, 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 Global Asset Management (Malta) Ltd.

This is a limited offer which closes on 15 November, or earlier if oversubscribed. Applications may be obtained from any HSBC branch. Further details can be obtained by visiting www.hsbc.com.mt/investments.
