The Fund aims to provide long term capital growth. The Fund employs HSBC's proprietary cross asset trend strategy (the Strategy) by investing through the use of financial derivative instruments in a diversified range of asset classes (including equity, fixed income, currency and commodities) on a global basis, including investments in emerging markets. In normal market conditions, the Fund's average volatility is expected to be around 10% over the investment horizon of 3-5 years. The Fund may also invest in other funds in order to achieve its investment objectives. The Fund implements the Strategy by investing primarily (both long and short positions) in financial derivative instruments including, but not limited to futures, forwards, and swaps, including total return swaps. The Strategy specifically allows for net exposures of: up to 200% of NAV through Index futures, up to 600% of NAV through interest rate derivatives, up to 100% of NAV to commodity indices through total return swaps, up to 400% of NAV to currency forwards and non-deliverable currency forwards. The Fund may also invest up to 95% of NAV in money market instruments and may hold cash and cash instruments for ancillary liquidity purposes.
