1 Exchange Traded Funds An Introductory Guide For professional clients only
2 Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) started to be used in Europe in the early 2000s but over the past few years they have grown their share of the investment market significantly. This trend has been supported by investors increasing focus on costs as well as growing evidence of index-based strategies presenting a strong viable alternative to other type of funds investing across developed markets. ETFs are listed on a stock exchange, meaning that they are bought and sold like shares. However, in contrast to UK equities, as ETFs pay stamp duty on equity purchases, investors do not have to explicitly pay stamp duty when they buy ETFs through their broker or a fund platform. Being listed on a stock exchange also adds a certain level of transparency compared to non-listed investment vehicles. ETFs are priced throughout each trading day, rather than only once a day as is the case with most mutual funds. This can add a layer of comfort, particularly in times of high volatility, that an investor can sell or buy its ETF investment at a particular point in time during a trading day. In addition, investors typically get totally up-to-date information on ETF holdings whereas mutual funds disclose this usually only once a month, and even then this tends to cover only the largest holdings.
3 Investing in an ETF: why do it and how Why invest in an ETF? Access to markets A huge spectre of ETFs available means that there are funds enabling access to many different markets. There are broadlybased ETFs that provide exposure to whole regions or even the entire asset class of global equities as a whole, as well as more focused funds that invest only in single countries or sectors of industry. Determining the timing of your trades Given ETFs continuous pricing, investors can buy or sell their ETF shares at any time when the market is open. This is important particularly during the times of high volatility, when share prices can fluctuate significantly in the course of a trading day. Transparency Investors can get real-time information on an ETF s holdings. This can help in making a better-informed decision about the composition of an investment portfolio. Economies of scale As with any shares, investors pay a fixed broker s fee every time they buy ETF shares, and that fee does not depend on the size of investment. Therefore, compared to mutual funds, which charge an initial fee as percentage of the amount invested, ETFs present economies of scale. Know How Physical or Synthetic Index Replication? Today, there are two main ways a fund can replicate an index, by either buying the underlying assets in that index or by using derivatives to mirror the performance of that index. The first method is known as physical replication and the second is synthetic. When a fund uses full physical replication, all the underlying assets are held in the proportion equal to their weighting in the index. However, when the index contains so many constituents that trading them runs the risk of eroding fund performance (MSCI World Index with its 1,643 constituents is a good example 1 ), holding only a proportion of the underlying index might be a better alternative. This can be achieved through an optimisation process. Synthetic ETFs rely entirely on the use of derivatives. They buy swap contracts where the other side, a counterparty, commits to pay the fund daily returns equal to the performance of the benchmark index, and all dividends. For this, the ETF pays the counterparty a fee and the performance of the physical assets it holds, and all the dividends they generate. However, there is always a risk that a counterparty does not honour its contract and defaults on its obligations. We believe that buying all of the stocks in the underlying index in the same proportion as the index is the best approach to take, as it allows us to construct funds with a high degree of transparency and simplicity, without compromising their ability to track an index closely. In our view, the risks associated with synthetic replication the most important of which is counterparty risk are not worth being exposed to. The importance of due diligence ETFs may differ from mutual funds in the way they are traded and structured but products from different providers may vary just as much as mutual funds. In order to incorporate high quality ETFs into a portfolio, the funds will need to be evaluated as thoroughly and diligently as in the case of active or index mutual funds. Investors should also consider spreading the risk by dividing their ETF exposure between different providers. Among the key factors that need to be considered as part of due diligence are: Underlying index and its coverage ` ` Provider s rules determining index composition they govern which companies are included in an index and which are left outside its scope Liquidity of the underlying market Fund costs When it comes to comparing fund costs, we believe it should be done based on ETF s total cost of ownership. This way, a comparison would take in account not only management fees and the Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF), but also transaction costs. ETF s total cost of ownership comprises the costs of holding and trading the fund. The first category would include the OCF and rebalancing costs, while the second one will cover transaction costs, any additional brokerage commission, tax and currency fluctuations if applicable. 1 Source: MSCI as at 30 September Exchange Traded Funds 3
4 The design of our ETFs reflects your and your clients views and requirements. We have committed to only use physical replication for our ETFs. We also pay a lot of our attention to the fact that fees have a significant impact on investment returns over a long term. ETFs costs are generally relatively low but, nevertheless, there is a wide range of fees charged by ETF providers. We draw on our scale and operational efficiency to deliver highly competitive all-inclusive fees. Our overall underlying objective is to offer great value for money on all of our ETF products. Our range of physical ETFs offers a range of features and benefits that our clients have asked for.
5 ETFs from HSBC: A Competitive Edge Transparency ` ` Every HSBC ETF publishes a full list of securities that it holds on a daily basis, in addition to up to date fact sheets on our website ` ` Our fee structure is transparent: the OCF comprises the management fee and a list of other costs carried by the asset manager which include administration, custody and audit fees, legal, regulatory and registration expenses. There is no entry or exit fee. ` ` As ETFs trade on stock exchanges, they are subject to a bid-offer spread and broker commissions in the secondary market. In the primary market investors will be charged the creation or redemption fees in addition to the brokerage commission. Creation/redemption fees are charged by the Authorised Participant to cover transaction costs, custodian fees and taxes where applicable. These fees are available on request. Cost effectiveness ` ` We keep our charges to an absolute minimum by harnessing our global capabilities and existing local expertise worldwide, especially in the emerging markets. This results in very competitive OCFs on most of our funds. Asset allocation building blocks ` ` For each of our ETFs we have selected indices that we believe our clients find most relevant for each of the underlying markets. Therefore, our ETFs can be used by clients as effective building blocks for globally diversified equity portfolio. Liquidity and accessibility ` ` In addition to other market makers, HSBC Global Banking and Markets is committed to providing liquidity and competitive spreads on exchange. ` ` Our ETFs are listed on the main European exchanges and registered for sale in several more European markets to make it easier for clients to access them. Controlled risk ` ` All our ETFs use physical replication so our funds do not carry derivative counterparty risk which is normally associated with synthetic ETFs. Accurate index tracking ` ` We apply our robust quantitative portfolio management, trading and risk monitoring processes to ensure the efficiency of HSBC ETFs both in terms of tracking difference and tracking error. Did you know? In Europe we offer a wide range of equity ETFs, ranging from the major developed markets to single emerging markets such as Brazil and Russia. Our HSBC MSCI Russia Capped UCITS ETF was the first Russian ETF available in Europe that tracks the locally listed market and is composed mainly of local Russian stocks. The ETF uses full physical replication. HSBC only offers ETFs that invest physically in relevant stocks. We don t offer swap-based ETFs since we believe that the physical approach allows us to deliver products that are inherently simpler and better understood. Exchange Traded Funds 5

7 Key Risks Market risk: The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up, and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Investment horizon: Stockmarket investments should be viewed as a medium to long term investment and should be held for at least five years. Currency risk: Where overseas investments are held, the rate of currency exchange may cause the value of such investments to go down as well as up. Emerging market risk: Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in some established markets. Geographic risk: Some of the funds invest predominantly in one geographic area; therefore any decline in the economy of this area may affect the prices and value of the underlying assets. Performance risk: Past performance is not an indication of future returns. Exchange Traded Funds 7
