Fund types you can invest in with HSBC FlexInvest

 

Money market funds let you invest in low-risk financial products like cash or short-term debt. They are generally considered one of the least risky investments available.

 

Bonds are a special kind of debt issued by companies or governments. They're deemed conservative investments with lower risks and returns than equities. But they can be vital to a diversified portfolio.

 

You can explore bond index funds in FlexInvest by region or industry.

 

Equity index funds let you invest in a portfolio of multiple companies. These funds generally carry higher risks than bond index funds. But they can be essential to a diversified portfolio.

 

Choose from 5 different equity index funds, each consisting of a broad selection of company stocks that aims to replicate an entire index and its composition—for example, Hang Seng Index or S&P 500 Net Total Return Index.

 

Our World Selection portfolios let you invest within your risk appetite easily. A suite of 5 multi-asset instruments, they're designed and managed within their specific risk level. They can include bonds, equities, money market funds and more.
