1 HSBC Global Investment s - India Fixed Income SG Share Class AC AC 30/04/2018 Objective and Strategy The aims to provide long-term total return (meaning capital growth and income) by investing in a portfolio of Indian bonds. In normal market conditions, at least 90% of the s assets are invested in investment-grade bonds (rated as such by a credit ratings agency), non-investment grade or unrated bonds (which carry more risk) and other similar securities. The can invest in bonds issued the Indian government, its government agencies, and Indian companies. The s assets can be denominated in Indian rupee and the US dollar. The can also invest in other instruments, e.g. structured notes referencing underlying exposure to Indian Rupee bonds and cash. Investment in Indian domestic fixed income securities may from time to time be restricted by Indian domestic regulation and hence the may have substantial exposure to non-indian Rupee denominated investments outside of India. The can also invest up to 10% of its assets in contingent convertible securities. These are bonds that convert to equities (carrying increased risk) if the issuer runs into difficulty. However, this exposure is not expected to exceed 5%. See the Prospectus for a description of derivative usage.

Contingent Convertible Security (CoCo) Risk: Under certain circumstances CoCos can be converted into shares of the issuing company, potentially at a discounted price, or the principal amount invested may be lost. Derivative Risk: A small movement in the value of the underlying asset can cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. Investing in derivatives involves leverage. High degrees of leverage can magnify the impact of asset price or rate movements. Emerging Market Risk: Emerging markets are subject to greater illiquidity and volatility than developed markets. Exchange Rate Risk: Changes in currency exchange rates will cause the value of investments to fluctuate. Fixed Income Risk: As interest rates rise debt securities will fall in value. All credit instruments have potential for default. High Yield risk: Higher yielding securities characteristically bear greater credit risk than investment grade securities. Interest Rate Risk: Relative yield and the capital values may be reduced by rising interest rates.

3 HSBC Global Investment s - India Fixed Income Share Class AC Monthly Performance Commentary Review The Indian government bond market extended their rally in early April as inflation forecasts were revised down in the April MPC meeting. However, the market subsequently fell with the rise in oil prices and unexpected hawkish MPC April minutes. Domestic government bond yields ended the month higher by around 35 bps on average. Amid broad dollar strength, the rupee weakened against the by around 2.2%, which was also partly driven by concerns about rising oil prices and potential policy uncertainty with the upcoming elections. Separately, following the announcement of a reduction in government security issuance in H1 FY , the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced in early April that it will allow banks to spread out mark-to-market losses on their investment portfolio. In addition, the central bank will increase the ceiling on foreign investment in government securities gradually to 6% of outstanding securities over the next two years from 5% currently. In late April, the RBI announced the removal of the residual maturity restrictions on foreign investments in government securities and state government loans. The debt quota auction mechanism will also be withdrawn effective from 1 June Coming to the April MPC meeting, the RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 6% and maintained its neutral policy stance. Meanwhile, while the forecast for FY 19 GDP was kept unchanged at 7.4%, it revised down its inflation estimates for H1 FY 19 and H2 FY 19 by 45 bps and 15 bps respectively. This took the full year forecast to 4.7% from 5% in the previous policy statement. However, the subsequently released meeting minutes were slightly more hawkish than expected. Unquantified risks around inflation and optimism about growth were the main themes for the meeting minutes, with some hawkish comments from individual members in the committee. Portfolio strategy The fund retreated in April in terms, tracking the overall market direction. The fund s exposure to domestic government bonds weighed on the fund s performance while the currency exposure to the rupee also took a toll on the fund s return given the depreciation in the currency. Year to date, the return of the fund ended in negative territories. The negative performance was mostly reflective of the market volatility, which has seen Indian 10 year government bond yields rising from 7.33% at the beginning of the year to about 7.77% at the end of April. At the same time, the INR has also weakened against the US dollar by 4.19% and further weighed on the fund s performance in US dollar terms. Over the month, our strategies remained largely unchanged. We continued to add selectively to state government loan (SDL) securities for their attractive spread against central government bonds. Meanwhile, we favour corporate bonds to maintain carry in a stable interest rate environment. However, we still favour domestic government bonds given balanced growth-inflation dynamics and expectation of the RBI to remain on hold in the near term. As of now, we still remain cautious of -denominated corporate bonds with expectations of continued US monetary policy normalisation. However, with US Treasury yields having reached relatively attractive levels and some spreads having widened out as well, going forward we may tactically add to bonds in this space as synthetic INR yields have started to look attractive for some of these bonds on a tax adjusted basis. Outlook While upward risks to inflation still persist particularly with the recent rise in crude oil prices and uncertainty in Minimum Support Price, it is still not our base scenario that the RBI will tighten its monetary policy in the near term. Headline CPI inflation continued to moderate in March to 4.3% yoy, falling well within the RBI s band of 2-6% and keeping real interest rates at relatively high levels. At its latest MPC meeting on 5 Apr, the central bank also revised down its inflation projections. An unexpected moderation in global GDP growth or crude oil prices could lead to downward surprise in headline inflation. Given the significant pickup in yields since Q4 2017, we think it a very good entry point for the Indian bond market, with yields providing good risk premium and pricing in excessive monetary tightening by the RBI to us. Meanwhile, supply demand dynamics have improved lately, after lack of participation from domestic banks and concerns about bond supply drove up bond risk premium. After the government addressed bond supply concerns by reducing its issuance target, the RBI subsequently announced in early April that it will allow banks to spread out mark-to-market losses on their investment portfolio. In addition, the central bank will gradually increase the ceiling on foreign investment in government securities while in late April it announced several changes in the constraints currently placed on the investments by foreign portfolio investors. We believe that these measures should be overall positive for demand for the strategy from foreign investors and domestic banks over the medium to long run. That said, in the near run, as election season kicks off with Karnataka on 12th May, there could be volatility in the domestic Indian bond market and the currency. We will closely monitor the election results and assess the impact on India s political balance and fiscal policy setting heading into general elections in 2019.

High degrees of leverage can magnify the impact of asset price or rate movements. Emerging Market Risk: Emerging markets are subject to greater illiquidity and volatility than developed markets. Exchange Rate Risk: Changes in currency exchange rates will cause the value of investments to fluctuate. Fixed Income Risk: As interest rates rise debt securities will fall in value. All credit instruments have potential for default. High Yield risk: Higher yielding securities characteristically bear greater credit risk than investment grade securities. Interest Rate Risk: Relative yield and the capital values may be reduced by rising interest rates. 3.00%

15 HSBC Global Investment s - India Fixed Income Share Class AD Monthly Performance Commentary Review The Indian government bond market extended their rally in early April as inflation forecasts were revised down in the April MPC meeting. However, the market subsequently fell with the rise in oil prices and unexpected hawkish MPC April minutes. Domestic government bond yields ended the month higher by around 35 bps on average. Amid broad dollar strength, the rupee weakened against the by around 2.2%, which was also partly driven by concerns about rising oil prices and potential policy uncertainty with the upcoming elections. Separately, following the announcement of a reduction in government security issuance in H1 FY , the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) announced in early April that it will allow banks to spread out mark-to-market losses on their investment portfolio. In addition, the central bank will increase the ceiling on foreign investment in government securities gradually to 6% of outstanding securities over the next two years from 5% currently. In late April, the RBI announced the removal of the residual maturity restrictions on foreign investments in government securities and state government loans. The debt quota auction mechanism will also be withdrawn effective from 1 June Coming to the April MPC meeting, the RBI kept the repo rate unchanged at 6% and maintained its neutral policy stance. Meanwhile, while the forecast for FY 19 GDP was kept unchanged at 7.4%, it revised down its inflation estimates for H1 FY 19 and H2 FY 19 by 45 bps and 15 bps respectively. This took the full year forecast to 4.7% from 5% in the previous policy statement. However, the subsequently released meeting minutes were slightly more hawkish than expected. Unquantified risks around inflation and optimism about growth were the main themes for the meeting minutes, with some hawkish comments from individual members in the committee. Portfolio strategy The fund retreated in April in terms, tracking the overall market direction. The fund s exposure to domestic government bonds weighed on the fund s performance while the currency exposure to the rupee also took a toll on the fund s return given the depreciation in the currency. Year to date, the return of the fund ended in negative territories. The negative performance was mostly reflective of the market volatility, which has seen Indian 10 year government bond yields rising from 7.33% at the beginning of the year to about 7.77% at the end of April. At the same time, the INR has also weakened against the US dollar by 4.19% and further weighed on the fund s performance in US dollar terms. Over the month, our strategies remained largely unchanged. We continued to add selectively to state government loan (SDL) securities for their attractive spread against central government bonds. Meanwhile, we favour corporate bonds to maintain carry in a stable interest rate environment. However, we still favour domestic government bonds given balanced growth-inflation dynamics and expectation of the RBI to remain on hold in the near term. As of now, we still remain cautious of -denominated corporate bonds with expectations of continued US monetary policy normalisation. However, with US Treasury yields having reached relatively attractive levels and some spreads having widened out as well, going forward we may tactically add to bonds in this space as synthetic INR yields have started to look attractive for some of these bonds on a tax adjusted basis. Outlook While upward risks to inflation still persist particularly with the recent rise in crude oil prices and uncertainty in Minimum Support Price, it is still not our base scenario that the RBI will tighten its monetary policy in the near term. Headline CPI inflation continued to moderate in March to 4.3% yoy, falling well within the RBI s band of 2-6% and keeping real interest rates at relatively high levels. At its latest MPC meeting on 5 Apr, the central bank also revised down its inflation projections. An unexpected moderation in global GDP growth or crude oil prices could lead to downward surprise in headline inflation. Given the significant pickup in yields since Q4 2017, we think it a very good entry point for the Indian bond market, with yields providing good risk premium and pricing in excessive monetary tightening by the RBI to us. Meanwhile, supply demand dynamics have improved lately, after lack of participation from domestic banks and concerns about bond supply drove up bond risk premium. After the government addressed bond supply concerns by reducing its issuance target, the RBI subsequently announced in early April that it will allow banks to spread out mark-to-market losses on their investment portfolio. In addition, the central bank will gradually increase the ceiling on foreign investment in government securities while in late April it announced several changes in the constraints currently placed on the investments by foreign portfolio investors. We believe that these measures should be overall positive for demand for the strategy from foreign investors and domestic banks over the medium to long run. That said, in the near run, as election season kicks off with Karnataka on 12th May, there could be volatility in the domestic Indian bond market and the currency. We will closely monitor the election results and assess the impact on India s political balance and fiscal policy setting heading into general elections in 2019.
