Market implication of the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States (10 April 2025)
The US administration has announced 10% baseline tariff on all trade partners with additional reciprocal tariffs on a broad swathe of economies. The global baseline 10% tariff has taken effect at 00:01 ET on Saturday 5 April with the higher country-specific tariffs implemented at 00:01 ET on 9 April.
While the tariffs vary by country and there are some notable exclusions, this marks a dramatic shift in US economic policy that, if implemented in its entirety, pushes the average US tariff to levels not seen since before WWII. The US administration has left the door open to negotiation, but has also said any retaliatory action by other countries could result in further action by the US.
Despite the announcement, policy uncertainty is set to remain elevated, implying continued volatility in investment markets. This points to an agile approach to managing portfolios. That means selectivity and portfolio resilience across geographies, asset classes, and factors.
Market implications
The collective anxiety within the investment community ahead of the announcement should not be confused with the idea that the new “reciprocal tariffs” are already priced-in. While it’s true that US stocks have materially underperformed other global and emerging markets in 2025 so far, this move merely removed the hubris around US exceptionalism – the consensus view at the start of the year.
It means that the tariffs, any policy retaliation, and the economic consequences, will significantly impact investment market dynamics. In the vernacular, this is known as a “grey rhino”; investors were well aware that the rhino was there, but they just didn’t know if, or when, it would charge.
Going forward, uncertainty is set to be a feature of investment markets, and not a bug. That’s partly because the US administration has shown a willingness to re-negotiate or escalate tariffs. If investors can’t be sure where tariffs will settle, it is hard to speculate on GDP and profits effects. While economic policy uncertainty is unlikely to remain at current levels, it may prove to be structurally higher, which implies more volatile markets than investors have been used two for most of the post-GFC period.
How do recent events change the house view of HSBC Asset Management as one of the fund managers of HSBC MPF?
HSBC Asset Management house view has emphasised two distinct scenarios since the end of 2024. First, a baseline scenario of “spinning around” envisaged elevated policy uncertainty driving higher market volatility, with adverse – though relatively mild – consequences for growth, profits, and inflation. Second, an alternative, downside scenario where growth and profits “topple over”. Investment portfolios have been calibrated with both scenarios in mind, but with our principal attention on “spinning around”.
If fully implemented alongside retaliatory measures, the announcement could bring our alternative scenario more vividly into play. However, given the numerous uncertainties at the current juncture, it’s important to take some time to consider that assessment.
High policy uncertainty continues to point to an agile approach to managing portfolios. Of course, that means diversification and a selective approach that builds portfolio resilience across geographies, asset classes, and factors.

With the above changes, the SuperTrust Plus will consist of a more comprehensive offering of Constituent Funds, with a suite of low-fee funds that are index-tracking or passively managed. We believe this can facilitate you to better differentiate the restructured funds from other active funds on our MPF platform, allowing you to make investment choices meeting your own investment styles, risk tolerance levels and personal circumstances. This, together with the de-layering change, can simplify the investment structure of the funds and enhance investment, administrative and operational efficiency.
On the other hand, during a recent review of the management fee breakdown among key operators, we decided to adjust the fee breakdown with effect from 1 July 2021. While the fee components among different stakeholders were re-jiggled, the total management fee level payable by members remains unchanged.
In addition, the statutory Annual Registration Fee has been effected from 1 October 2020 and we are liable for the payment of the fee starting from 1 July 2021. Please rest assured that the fee will be borne and shared among the key operators with no impact on you.
For further details of the above, please refer to the Notice to Scheme Participants, First Supplement to the MPF Scheme Brochure and frequently asked questions.

Scheme participants can opt-in the method of payment by deposit directly or cheque. The regular withdrawal instruction(s) can be amended or cancelled at any time at scheme participants’ decision by submitting a valid INRW ‘Change of Regular Withdrawal Instruction Form’.

Market implication of the reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States (10 April 2025)
The US administration has announced 10% baseline tariff on all trade partners with additional reciprocal tariffs on a broad swathe of economies. The global baseline 10% tariff has taken effect at 00:01 ET on Saturday 5 April with the higher country-specific tariffs implemented at 00:01 ET on 9 April.
While the tariffs vary by country and there are some notable exclusions, this marks a dramatic shift in US economic policy that, if implemented in its entirety, pushes the average US tariff to levels not seen since before WWII. The US administration has left the door open to negotiation, but has also said any retaliatory action by other countries could result in further action by the US.
Despite the announcement, policy uncertainty is set to remain elevated, implying continued volatility in investment markets. This points to an agile approach to managing portfolios. That means selectivity and portfolio resilience across geographies, asset classes, and factors.
Market implications
The collective anxiety within the investment community ahead of the announcement should not be confused with the idea that the new “reciprocal tariffs” are already priced-in. While it’s true that US stocks have materially underperformed other global and emerging markets in 2025 so far, this move merely removed the hubris around US exceptionalism – the consensus view at the start of the year.
It means that the tariffs, any policy retaliation, and the economic consequences, will significantly impact investment market dynamics. In the vernacular, this is known as a “grey rhino”; investors were well aware that the rhino was there, but they just didn’t know if, or when, it would charge.
Going forward, uncertainty is set to be a feature of investment markets, and not a bug. That’s partly because the US administration has shown a willingness to re-negotiate or escalate tariffs. If investors can’t be sure where tariffs will settle, it is hard to speculate on GDP and profits effects. While economic policy uncertainty is unlikely to remain at current levels, it may prove to be structurally higher, which implies more volatile markets than investors have been used two for most of the post-GFC period.
How do recent events change the house view of HSBC Asset Management as one of the fund managers of HSBC MPF?
HSBC Asset Management house view has emphasised two distinct scenarios since the end of 2024. First, a baseline scenario of “spinning around” envisaged elevated policy uncertainty driving higher market volatility, with adverse – though relatively mild – consequences for growth, profits, and inflation. Second, an alternative, downside scenario where growth and profits “topple over”. Investment portfolios have been calibrated with both scenarios in mind, but with our principal attention on “spinning around”.
If fully implemented alongside retaliatory measures, the announcement could bring our alternative scenario more vividly into play. However, given the numerous uncertainties at the current juncture, it’s important to take some time to consider that assessment.
High policy uncertainty continues to point to an agile approach to managing portfolios. Of course, that means diversification and a selective approach that builds portfolio resilience across geographies, asset classes, and factors.

Informed by Hang Seng Investment Management Limited, who is the Investment Manager for the underlying ITCIS (i.e. Hang Seng Index ETF) invested by the Hang Seng Index Tracking Fund of the Scheme (the ‘Constituent Fund’), that the Hang Seng Index ETF is de-listed from the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited on 13 September 2022 and continues to operate as an unlisted fund.

With the above changes, the SuperTrust Plus will consist of a more comprehensive offering of Constituent Funds, with a suite of low-fee funds that are index-tracking or passively managed. We believe this can facilitate you to better differentiate the restructured funds from other active funds on our MPF platform, allowing you to make investment choices meeting your own investment styles, risk tolerance levels and personal circumstances. This, together with the de-layering change, can simplify the investment structure of the funds and enhance investment, administrative and operational efficiency.
On the other hand, during a recent review of the management fee breakdown among key operators, we decided to adjust the fee breakdown with effect from 1 July 2021. While the fee components among different stakeholders were re-jiggled, the total management fee level payable by members remains unchanged.
In addition, the statutory Annual Registration Fee has been effected from 1 October 2020 and we are liable for the payment of the fee starting from 1 July 2021. Please rest assured that the fee will be borne and shared among the key operators with no impact on you.
