HSBC AM forays into active ETF market with five funds
HSBC Asset Management (HSBC AM) has launched the HSBC PLUS Active ETF range, marking its entry into the active ETF market with five new funds.
This launch aims to provide investors with country and regional exposures, combining the benefits of the ETF wrapper with the potential for outperforming returns, stated the company.
The HSBC PLUS Active ETF range includes the HSBC PLUS USA Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Income Quant Active UCITS ETF, and HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Income Quant Active UCITS ETF.
These funds utilise a quantitative-driven investment approach, leveraging HSBC AM's Quantitative Equity capabilities.
The core range, consisting of the HSBC PLUS USA Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, and HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, focuses on maximising exposure to the highest-ranked stocks based on factor characteristics while minimising overall portfolio risk.
The income range aims to identify equity securities with attractive income and quality characteristics, providing additional income compared to a market-cap index while preserving capital growth, added the company.
These funds are available to retail, wholesale, and institutional investors in Austria, Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Sweden, and the UK. They will also be listed on the London Stock Exchange, Borsa Italiana, and Xetra.
HSBC AM ETF and Indexing Sales global head Olga de Tapia stated, 'The active ETF market is enjoying strong growth, and we are pleased to introduce our suite of funds in this space as part of our efforts to bring innovative and relevant investment tools to investors.'
Tapia further added, 'Our HSBC PLUS Active ETF range combines quantitative active management with the efficiency of an ETF structure and aims to provide investors with additional alpha beyond core passive exposures in a cost-efficient way and ensuring resilience across diverse market cycles and economic regimes.'
Last month, HSBC announced that its group chairman Mark Tucker intends to retire before the end of 2025.
