The HSBC Global Sustainable Portfolios have different levels of risk, but all contain a mix of global investments. We use the environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework to ensure that we work with companies that are doing more to tackle these issues. To work out the level of a company's sustainability, we use independent data and our own research. Our portfolios are weighted towards companies that strive to make the world a better place. Remember the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you may not get back what you invest. Why invest in a sustainable portfolio?

Choice of risk level You decide the amount of risk that you're comfortable with. A fund manager aims to keep it at that level, so there's less to think about. Easy access to your money Your money isn't locked away, you can withdraw it at any time - without paying an exit fee. But you should look to invest for at least 5 years to give it the chance to recover from any dips. Managed by specialists HSBC Global Asset Management will manage your portfolio on your behalf. They'll aim to get you the best returns and make sure it stays at the same risk level. What makes our portfolios sustainable? Our sustainable portfolios are a ready-made mix of global investments that have been carefully selected by the investment management team. The sustainable portfolios aim to invest in companies with a higher ESG score average and a lower carbon footprint than the market. So, you can be confident that your money will have more of a positive impact. Plus, companies with a high ESG score are more likely to thrive and have long-term performance success. You can read more about these ESG metrics in the portfolio factsheets below. Our portfolios Our sustainable portfolios are accumulation funds, which means that any income will be reinvested within the fund. This gives your investment the potential to grow. Each portfolio has a risk level rated 1 to 5, where 1 is a lower level of risk and 5 is a higher level of risk. This indicates the amount of potential return on your investment and the risk of investment loss. Choose the one that best matches how you feel about risk.
