Important information: The Fund invests primarily in non-investment grade and unrated bonds. For certain classes of the Fund, the Fund may pay dividends out of capital or pay dividends gross of expenses. Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments for investment purpose and may suffer substantial loss if the relevant issuers default or the relevant instruments cannot be realised or perform badly. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets, non-investment grade bonds, unrated bonds, contingent convertible securities and asset backed securities which are subject to higher risks and volatility. The Fund s investments may involve substantial credit/counterparty, downgrading, market, volatility, liquidity, regulatory and political risks. Investors may suffer substantial loss of their investments in the Fund. Unit trusts are NOT equivalent to time deposits. Investors should not invest in the Fund solely based on the information provided in this document and should read the offering document of the Fund for details.

HSBC Global Investment Funds Global High Yield Bond November 2017 Fund objective and strategy The Fund invests for total return primarily in a diversified portfolio of Non-Investment Grade and unrated fixed income securities issued by companies, agencies or governments from any country, in both developed and Emerging Markets and denominated in or hedged into United States Dollars (USD). On an ancillary basis, the Fund may invest in asset backed securities (limited to a maximum of 10%) and Investment Grade fixed income securities, and have exposure to non-usd currencies including Emerging Markets local currencies (up to a maximum of 20%) to enhance return. Normally, a minimum of 90% of the Fund will be invested in Non-Investment Grade and other higher yielding bonds (including unrated bonds). However, for liquidity management purposes, the Fund may also invest up to 30% in Investment Grade fixed income securities. The Fund will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in securities issued by or guaranteed by any single sovereign issuer with a credit rating below Investment Grade. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its net assets in contingent convertible securities, however this is not expected to exceed 10%. The Fund may gain exposure to higher yielding bonds by investing up to 10% of its net assets in units or shares of UCITS and/or other Eligible UCIs (including other subfunds of HSBC Global Investment Funds) with similar debt securities as that of the Fund. The Fund does not intend to use financial derivative instruments extensively for investment purposes.

What are the investment objectives and strategy? Investment Objectives and Strategy The Fund invests for total return primarily in a diversified portfolio of Non-Investment Grade and unrated fixed income securities issued by companies, agencies or governments from any country, in both developed and Emerging Markets and denominated in or hedged into United States Dollars (USD). USD USD On an ancillary basis, the Fund may invest in asset backed securities (limited to a maximum of 10%) and Investment Grade fixed income securities, and have exposure to non-usd currencies including Emerging Markets local currencies (up to a maximum of 20%) to enhance return.

However, the Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments such as futures, options, swaps (including, but not limited to, credit default swaps and Total Return Swaps), forward currency contracts and other credit derivatives for, inter alia, the purposes of managing interest rate risks and credit risks, currency positioning as well as for investment purposes to enhance return at times when the Investment Adviser believes the investment in financial derivative instruments will assist the Fund in achieving its investment objectives. The Fund may be leveraged through the use of financial derivative instruments. What are the Key Risks? Investment involves risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including the risk factors. Investment risk The Fund is an investment fund. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value due to any of the key risk factors below and therefore your investment may suffer losses. Interest rate risk The Fund s investments in fixed income securities may fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the prices of fixed income securities decrease when interest rates rise, whilst their prices increase when interest rates fall. Credit risk The Fund s exposure to fixed income securities is subject to the credit risk of the issuers of the securities. When the issuer of a fixed income security defaults, the Fund may suffer a loss amounting to the value of such investment. Non-investment grade debt/ unrated debt risk / Non-investment grade and unrated fixed income securities are subject to lower liquidity, higher volatility, higher credit risk and greater risk of loss of principal and interest than investment grade fixed income securities. Downgrading Risk The credit rating of a fixed income security or its issuer may subsequently be downgraded. In the event of such downgrading, the Fund s investment value in such security may be adversely affected. The Management Company or the Investment Adviser may or may not be able to dispose of the securities that are being downgraded.

Liquidity risk The Fund is exposed to the risk that a particular investment or position cannot be easily unwound or offset due to insufficient market depth or market disruption. Investment of the Fund s assets in relatively illiquid investments may restrict the ability of the Fund to dispose of its investments at a price and time that it wishes to do so. This may result in a loss to the Fund. Volatility risks The fixed income securities in which the Fund invests may not be traded on an active secondary market. The prices of securities traded in such markets may be subject to fluctuations. The bid and offer spreads of the price of such securities may be large and the Fund may incur significant trading costs and may suffer losses as a result. Sovereign debt risk The Fund s investment in securities issued or guaranteed by governments may be exposed to political, social and economic risks. In adverse situations, the sovereign issuers may not be able or willing to repay the principal and/or interest when due or may request the Fund to participate in restructuring such debts. The Fund may suffer significant losses when there is a default of sovereign debt issuers. / Valuation risk Valuation of the Fund s investments may involve uncertainties and judgmental determinations. If such valuation turns out to be incorrect, this may affect the net asset value of the Fund. Credit rating risk Credit ratings assigned by rating agencies are subject to limitations and do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the security and/or issuer at all times. / Emerging markets risk The Fund may invest in emerging market countries. Exposure to emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss than exposure to more developed markets due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, settlement, custodial, market volatility (such as interest rate and price volatility), legal and regulatory risks. Derivative instrument risk Risks associated with financial derivative instruments include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-thecounter transaction risk. The leverage element/component of a financial derivative instrument can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the financial derivative instrument by the Fund. Exposure to financial derivatives instruments may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund. / / Foreign exchange risk Because the Fund s assets and liabilities and classes of shares may be denominated in currencies different from the reference currency, the Fund may be affected favourably or unfavourably by exchange control regulations or changes in the exchange rates between the reference currency and other currencies. Risks relating to hedging and the currency hedged share classes The Fund is permitted to use hedging techniques to attempt to offset market and currency risks, including hedging the currencies in which the underlying assets of the Fund are denominated against the Fund s reference currency or the currency of the assets that the Fund primarily invested in. The costs of hedging transactions which are conducted at the Fund level and hedging at the Fund level will preclude shareholders from benefitting from appreciation of the non-usd currencies (in which the underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated) against the reference currency of the Fund. In respect of currency hedged share classes, it aims to hedge the currency risk between the reference currency and the class currency of the currency hedged share class. There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging techniques will achieve their desired result. There can be no assurance that any currency hedging strategy will fully and effectively eliminate the currency exposure of the Fund. Investment in currency hedged share classes which do not hedge underlying portfolio currency exposures back to the investor s own currency may result in the investor taking speculative currency positions which may be volatile and may have a material impact on shareholders

returns. Investment in currency hedged share classes may preclude shareholders from benefiting from an increase in the value of the Fund s reference currency and/or other currencies of non-usd-denominated underlying investments of the Fund relative to the class currency of the currency hedged share classes. The costs of the hedging transactions will be reflected in the net asset values of the relevant share classes. Any costs and expenses arising from such hedging transactions, which may be significant depending on prevailing market conditions, will be borne by the relevant share classes. This may adversely affect the returns of investors of such share classes. The distribution amount and the net asset value of the currency hedged share classes may be adversely affected by differences in the interest rates of the class currency of the currency hedged share classes and the Fund s reference currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged classes. Risks associated with distribution out of capital For certain Classes of Shares, the Board of Directors may determine if, and to what extent, dividends may be paid out of capital or paid gross of expenses where the income / capital gain generated by the Fund is insufficient to pay a distribution as declared by the Fund. If there is a change to this policy, prior approval will be sought from the SFC and affected investors will receive at least one month s prior written notification. Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the Net Asset Value per Share of the Fund.

How has the Fund performed? (AM2) Past performance information is not indicative of future performance. Investors may not get back the full amount invested. The computation basis of the performance is based on the calendar year end, NAV-to-NAV, with dividend reinvested. These figures show by how much the share class increased or decreased in value during the calendar year being shown. Performance data has been calculated in USD including ongoing charges and excluding subscription fee and redemption fee you might have to pay. Where no past performance is shown there was insufficient data available in that year to provide performance. The Fund has formally adopted BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield BB-B Constrained Hedged USD as the reference performance benchmark of the Fund with effect from 2016. The reference performance benchmark is shown for comparison purposes only and the Fund may not be managed to the reference performance benchmark. 2016 BB-B BofA Merrill Lynch Global High Yield BB-B Constrained Hedged USD Fund launch date: 20/07/2012 20/07/2012 Class AM2 launch date: 23/07/2012 AM2 23/07/2012 Class AM2 is a share class open for investment by Hong Kong retail investors and denominated in the Fund s reference currency.

Important information: The Fund invests primarily in non-investment grade and unrated bonds. For certain classes of the Fund, the Fund may pay dividends out of capital or pay dividends gross of expenses. Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund may invest in financial derivative instruments for investment purpose and may suffer substantial loss if the relevant issuers default or the relevant instruments cannot be realised or perform badly. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets, non-investment grade bonds, unrated bonds, contingent convertible securities and asset backed securities which are subject to higher risks and volatility.
