World Selection Portfolios

Invest in your dreams

A range of ready-made portfolios to suit your investment needs

HSBC's World Selection Portfolios are a suite of 5 multi-asset funds, each designed to match a specific level of risk. Whether you are a very low risk investor or you are ready to take very high risks with your money, we have got a portfolio for you. 

 

Using a mix of different types of investments or ‘asset classes’ in a single portfolio – known as a multi-asset strategy – can be an effective way to help you grow your savings towards long-term goals.  The trick is picking just the right blend of investments to create an effective portfolio, one that over the long term delivers the returns you need to reach your goals, for the level of risk you are comfortable with.  That is what the HSBC World Selection Portfolios aim to do.

 

The portfolios offer access to global equity and bond markets, as well as alternative asset classes, such as listed property, all at a level of risk that suits you.

 

In order to determine how sensitive you are to risk, you can access and complete our risk tolerance questionnaire.

 

Remember that the value of investments and any income they generate can go down as well as up, meaning you may not get back what you invest. Exchange rate fluctuations can also cause the value of your investments to go down as well as up.

 

You can sell your investment to access your money at any time – however you should consider investing for at least 5 years.

The above chart shows the strategic breakdown of the World Selection 1 portfolio as at 30 April 2020.

A very low risk portfolio

This portfolio is classified by HSBC as ‘very low risk’. It’s rated as 1, where 1 is a lower level of risk and 5 is a higher level of risk. The lowest category does not mean a risk-free investment.

 

The base currency of the World Selection Portfolio is US dollars. The euro hedged class has an average volatility of 4.24% (as at 30 April 2020). Volatility is a measure of how much a fund's price goes up or down as a percentage of its average performance and you need to take this into consideration prior to investing.

 

The World Selection 1 portfolio targets a lower level of investment risk by investing in assets whose values are likely to fluctuate by less than that of a higher-risk fund. Over time, these types of assets may produce a greater return than cash-based investments with the aim of keeping pace with inflation. Bear in mind that very low risk funds can fall in value to below the amount you invested and as with any investment, it should be viewed as something to stay in for at least 5 years.
