Following the recent launch of the HSBC Asia Accelerator (EUR) Note 2012, HSBC Global Asset Management (Malta) is offering two variants of this four-year capital protected Medium Term Note in GBP and USD.

The HSBC Asia Accelerator (GBP) Note 2013 and the HSBC Asia Accelerator (USD) Note 2013, are designed to protect investors’ capital if held until maturity and provide investors with potential attractive returns based on the combined growth of the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index, MSCI Taiwan Index and MSCI Singapore Index after four years.

The notes also offer the possibility of an early maturity after two years together with attractive returns if the levels of the indices, at the end of the second year, have registered a pre-determined level of combined growth or more than their Initial Index level.

As an added advantage, an incentive payment of 4.5 per cent per annum in the case of the GBP variant and 2 per cent in the case of the USD variant is paid pro rata from date of subscription until the investment actually starts.

This is a limited offer that closes on 8 January, or earlier if oversubscribed. Applications can be obtained from any HSBC branch. Further details can be obtained by visiting www.hsbc.com.mt/investments.
