The benefits of unit trusts

Diversification in one investment

Access different markets and instruments, helping you diversify your risk better than with a single security.

Liquidity and no lock-in period

Buy and sell unit trusts on any dealing day with ease – online or through your Relationship Manager.

Low barriers to a basket of securities

Access portfolios from as little as SGD1,000 – a more cost-efficient way than building one yourself. Plus gain exposure to countries and sectors not easily accessible as an individual.

Managed by investment professionals

Let the experts – who spend their careers researching and managing investments – work for you.

Ways to invest in unit trusts

There are 2 ways to invest in unit trusts with us. You can either make a lump sum investment, or set up a regular savings plan.

Whichever one you choose, you'll need to make a minimum placement of SGD1,000.

Lump sum investment

This is a one-time investment on a fund of your choice.

Regular savings plan

This lets you make smaller investments on a selected fund each month. It's known as dollar cost averaging, and it can help reduce market volatility.

You'll need to make a minimum first investment of SGD1,000. But your subsequent investments can be as low as SGD100 per month.

To learn more, visit our Regular Savings Plan page.

    In broad terms 'ESG and sustainable investing' products include investment approaches or instruments which consider environmental, social, governance and / or other sustainability factors to varying degrees. Certain instruments we classify as ESG or sustainable investing products may be in the process of changing to deliver sustainability outcomes. There is no guarantee that ESG and sustainable investing products will produce returns similar to those which don't have any ESG or sustainable characteristics. ESG and sustainable investing products may diverge from traditional market benchmarks. In addition, there is no standard definition of, or measurement criteria for, ESG and sustainable investing or the impact of ESG and sustainable investing products. ESG and sustainable investing and related impact measurement criteria are (a) highly subjective and (b) may vary significantly across and within sectors.

    HSBC may rely on measurement criteria devised and reported by third-party providers or issuers. HSBC does not always conduct its own specific due diligence in relation to measurement criteria. There is no guarantee that: (a) the nature of the ESG / sustainability effect of, or measurement criteria for, an investment will be aligned with any particular investor's sustainability goals, or (b) the stated level or target level of ESG / sustainability effect will be achieved. ESG and sustainable investing is an evolving area and new regulations and coverage are being developed which will affect how investments can be categorised or labelled in the future.

    Today we finance a number of industries that significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. We have a strategy to help our customers to reduce their emissions and to reduce our own. For more information visit www.hsbc.com/sustainability.

    Risk disclosure

    Investments involve risks. Funds are investment products and some may involve derivatives. The value of investments, units / shares of the funds and the income accruing to the units / shares, if any, may fall or rise, and the investor may not get back the original sum invested. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future performance. In a worst-case scenario, the value of the fund may be worth substantially less than the original amount you have invested (and in an extreme case could be worth nothing). Investments in funds are not deposits or other obligations of or guaranteed by HSBC or any of its affiliates. Foreign currency transactions are subject to risk of exchange rate fluctuations and exchange controls may apply to certain currencies from time to time.

    For the risks relating to each specific fund, please refer to the prospectus, product highlights sheet, information memorandum or profile statement. A copy of the prospectus, product highlights sheet, information memorandum or profile statement of each fund is available and may be obtained at HSBC branches. Investors and potential investors should read the prospectus, product highlights sheet, information memorandum or profile statement before deciding whether to subscribe for, or purchase units / shares of the fund.
