Market Overview

Global equities surged over the period, as investors drew comfort from the ongoing rollout of Covid vaccines across the world and the consequent easing of lockdown restrictions, which underpinned a recovery in economic activity. Global markets also continued to be supported by high levels of fiscal support by governments and still-loose monetary policy from the world’s major central banks, even though there were increasing signs of a change of course in policy towards the end of the period.

While markets suffered a setback in September on concerns about potential stagflation, for the most part they made gains, approaching all-time high levels in aggregate by the end of the period. Many markets – such as the S&P 500, the Dax and India’s Sensex – established new all-time highs as investor sentiment improved. However, rising Delta-variant coronavirus case numbers across many areas of the world in the late summer and autumn caused some unease.

Towards the end of the period, equities were also increasingly affected by worries about rising long-term inflation, resulting from the recovery in economic growth and the impact of record levels of fiscal stimulus, especially in the US, which drove bond yields higher. Markets were also concerned by an indication that the US Federal Reserve (Fed) could raise interest rates much sooner than previously thought. Meanwhile, the Fed announced a tapering of its monthly bond-purchasing programme. The Bank of England (BoE) also appeared ready to act on persistently higher inflation, although it had refrained from taking any action by the close of the period. Some countries, such as South Korea and Russia, did tighten their monetary policy. However, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the Bank of Japan (BoJ) remained more dovish.

Economic recovery continued in most regions, and with it, optimism that social and business conditions could soon return to normal while the US economy recovered strongly as a consequence. The recoveries in Japan, the UK and Continental Europe were patchier. At the end of the period, a renewed surge in coronavirus cases in Europe and Asia was evident, with some countries, such as China and the Netherlands, reimposing tighter restrictions.

UK Equities

UK equities rose over the period despite suffering two marked downturns in mid-July and September. As with other markets, the UK was boosted by recovering economic growth and a reinstatement of many pre-lockdown activities and freedoms as Covid data initially improved in the early months of the period. Restrictions were close to being fully lifted by the summer of 2021, and while new case numbers related to the Delta variant rose, the rise in death and hospitalisation rates was relatively subdued.

The UK government and the BoE continued to provide support to the economy. However, the UK’s furlough scheme, which had supported companies during the Covid crisis and prevented unemployment levels from rising too steeply, came to an end in September. Economic growth was strong through the summer. Second-quarter GDP saw a recovery of 5.5%, with personal consumption making the largest contribution as individuals made the most of eased restrictions to spend more in shops, bars and restaurants. GDP slowed to 1.3% in the third quarter of the year as supply-chain disruption and slower overseas demand restricted growth. Unemployment continued to ease marginally, falling to 4.5% in the three months to September, while job vacancies rose substantially. Total employment in the UK rose to a record high of 29.2 million in September.

UK inflation jumped in the early months of 2021, rising to 3.2% in August, the highest level since March 2012, largely driven by base effects. The BoE tried to calm investors with its view that the rise in inflation was driven predominantly by temporary factors. However, in early October, central bank Governor Andrew Bailey admitted that inflation was becoming more entrenched and was likely to remain so for some time. The bank’s official estimate for inflation for the year end was raised to 4%. Higher oil prices, surging wholesale gas prices and some food shortages were key factors behind this. The situation was exacerbated by a shortage of workers able to drive petrol tankers to refuel station forecourts, which led to low levels of available petrol. This pattern of staff shortages was repeated across quite a few industries and led to rising prices. However, after much speculation that the BoE would raise rates following its November policy meeting, rates remained unchanged. The market, nevertheless, continued to expect an increase before year-end.

Market Review

US Equities

US equities rose strongly over the period, as the economy continued to recover. Major indices such as the S&P 500, the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite frequently established new all-times during the period. While the Delta variant meant that many states were still registering record case levels in the summer of 2021, business and social activity across the US had largely returned to normal by the autumn.

Economic recovery was supported by a series of large fiscal packages introduced by the Biden administration throughout the period. These packages – involving trillions of dollars of debt –and focused largely on employment and income support as well as infrastructure and environmental spending, convinced investors that economic growth and, consequently, higher inflation, were inevitable. Regarding economic data, the US continued to record generally positive data. This was most obvious in the labour market, where there was a big improvement through the period, with substantial job creation and falling unemployment. Unemployment fell steadily, from 6.1% in April to 4.6% in October. GDP slowed over the period, however, as 2021 second-quarter annualised growth of 6.7% was followed by just 2% growth (subsequently revised to 2.1%) in the third quarter. The sequential decline in GDP reflected some supply-side issues, specifically bottlenecks in supply chains and a shortage of parts, notably semiconductors, which was experienced not just by the US but by most major economies around the world.

Inflation continued to trouble investors. The consumer price index touched 6.2% in October, the highest level for 31 years. Despite this, Fed Chairman Jerome Powell initially maintained current monetary support measures, insisting that the rise in inflation was driven mainly by transitory factors, and was reflective of base effects that would soon wash through the system. However, by the end of the period, statements from the Fed had become decidedly more hawkish. Following its November policy meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee decided to taper its bond-purchasing programme, while the market was beginning to discount an interest rate hike in 2022. Additionally, the US government faced a cliff edge regarding the nation’s debt ceiling, with a last-minute compromise between the Democrats and Republicans avoiding potential chaos – although the deal appeared to only postpone the issue by a few months.

Europe (Excluding UK) Equities

European equities continued to make headway during the period, underpinned by signs of economic recovery and continuing support measures from the EU and the ECB. However, Europe remained gripped by the pandemic, with further waves of the virus prompting a seesawing between raised and eased Covid-related restrictions. The Delta variant of the virus forced several countries to re-impose tight lockdown restrictions as new Covid cases and death rates rose further during the summer. While vaccines were gradually administered throughout the continent, the rate of vaccination was initially slower in EU countries compared to the UK, which caused friction and some recriminations. By the end of the period, a fourth wave of the pandemic was causing some concerns.

The European economy emerged from recession in the second quarter of 2021, growing by 2.1% after having fallen into a shallow recession in the first quarter of the year, following a second successive fall in quarterly GDP. It strengthened further in the third quarter, growing by 2.2%. Inflation, which had been negative through much of 2020, picked up notably in 2021, rising by 3.4% year on year in September – the highest rate for 13 years. This reflected very high energy prices that had come about as oil and other commodity prices rallied, and as tight gas supplies, notably from Russia, had a dramatic effect on wholesale prices. For instance, German producer price inflation hit 14.2% in September, the highest level since the mid-1970s. As with other regions, inflation became a growing headwind for markets and, despite statements to the contrary through much of the period, expectations in the market grew that the ECB would soon have to tighten its monetary policy. Employment data improved and the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell marginally from 8.0% in May to 7.4% in September, albeit still above the pre-pandemic rate of 7.1% in March 2020.

Relations between the UK and the EU remained strained, with tensions evident regarding the supply of vaccines from AstraZeneca into the EU, as well as the UK’s threat to unilaterally tear up the Northern Ireland protocol – checks on produce travelling from the rest of the UK into Northern Ireland remained snarled up by red tape.

Japanese Equities

Japanese equities followed other global markets higher, although they were quite volatile. Japan had to contend with an unexpected and sudden rise in coronavirus cases in Tokyo and neighbouring districts, which led to more lockdowns which persisted, on and off, until the end of the period.

Japan went ahead and hosted both the Olympic and Paralympic Games despite the state of emergency and a majority of the population not wanting the events to go ahead, with the events themselves being played in front of no paying spectators.

There was some political turmoil, with Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announcing his resignation in late August. His personal ratings had plummeted while coronavirus cases rose, and his policies had limited effect on stoking the economy. Former foreign minister Fumio Kishida replaced Suga in early October.

The economy remained fragile. Having fallen 1.1% in the first quarter of 2021 compared to the final quarter of 2020, GDP recovered by 0.4% in the second quarter of the year but then fell 0.8% in the third quarter. Ongoing Covid-related restrictions and global supply-chain issues hindered growth during the third quarter. The much-followed BoJ Tankan survey – a quarterly indicator of economic sentiment across the economy – recovered during the period. Having fallen to an 11-year low of -34 in the second quarter of 2020, the headline large manufacturing diffusion index improved to +18 in the third quarter of 2021.

The BoJ maintained its loose monetary policy, targeting -0.1% short-term interest rates, while stating that the long-term inflation target of 2.0% was unlikely to be met in the near future. Japan continued to be gripped by deflation, facing very different problems on that front to other countries. However, the level of consumer price deflation improved over the period, from -1.1% in April to 0.2% growth in September, the first positive growth rate for a year. In its latest update, the BoJ indicated that it expected inflation to pick up and touch 1% by mid-2022, although this would still be below its long-term target of 2%, and that the economy should continue to gradually recover.

Asia (Excluding Japan) Equities

Asian ex-Japan equities were relatively weak over the period, largely owing to weakness in the Mainland China market. Equities had been buoyed early in the period by recovering economic growth, ongoing support measures implemented by governments across the region and prevailing accommodative monetary policy. However, rising Delta variant cases of Covid-19 across the region and worries about rising inflation levels unsettled markets. By the end of the period, stringent lockdown restrictions had been reimposed in Mainland China. The recovery in the US dollar was a further headwind for markets, while there were also concerns about renewed geopolitical tensions, especially between Mainland China and Taiwan. In October, Mainland China’s Premier Xi Jinping suggested that reunification between the two countries must happen and sent military planes across the Taiwan Strait to emphasise his point.

The Indian market was the strongest performer as the very high levels of Covid infection experienced earlier in the year subsided. ASEAN markets such as Malaysia and Thailand, which were more badly affected by Covid-19, were relatively weak over the period. Meanwhile, Mainland China fell as concerns mounted about slowing economic growth, rising new cases of Covid-19, the government’s tighter legislation over media and technology companies, and concerns about the financial viability of the large real estate developer, Evergrande.

Mainland China’s economy showed signs of slowing as bottlenecks across many industries and rising energy prices negatively impacted the economy. After 18.3% year-on-year growth in the first quarter, GDP rose by 7.9% in the second quarter and 4.9% in the third quarter. In India, GDP expanded 1.6% in the first quarter of 2021 before surging by 20.1% in the second on a year-on-year basis, boosted largely by favourable base effects.

Central bank policy remained generally accommodative across the Asia Pacific region. A key exception was in South Korea, where the central bank raised interest rates in late August. The People’s Bank of China kept liquidity abundant in the money markets while keeping banks’ reserve requirements unchanged over the period. The growing risk of default at Evergrande towards the end of the period saw Mainland China’s central bank continuing to pump large amounts of liquidity into the system. While producer price inflation picked up in Mainland China, consumer price inflation remained relatively stable. Meanwhile, in India, it fell steadily from May.

UK Fixed Income

The UK government bond market weakened mildly. Government bond yields rose materially in September and October as worries about inflation escalated, before subsiding in the final weeks of the period. Fears about rising long-term inflation, higher commodity and other input prices, and the sustainability of the global economic recovery from the pandemic were the key factors influencing the bond market. The UK 10-year gilt yield peaked close to 1.2% in October, its highest level since mid-2019, before closing the period at approximately 1%. However, corporate bonds – specifically the investment grade, high yield and index-linked sectors – were relatively strong, taking their cue from rising equity markets and greater risk tolerance from investors.

Economic growth was strong through the summer. Second-quarter GDP saw a recovery of 5.5%, with personal consumption making the largest contribution as individuals made the most of eased restrictions to spend more in shops, bars and restaurants. GDP slowed to 1.3% in the third quarter of the year as supply-chain disruption and slower overseas demand restricted growth. Unemployment continued to ease marginally, falling to 4.5% in the three months to September, while job vacancies rose substantially. Total employment in the UK rose to a record high of 29.2 million in September.

UK inflation jumped in the early months of 2021, rising to 3.2% in August, the highest level since March 2012, largely driven by base effects. The BoE tried to calm investors with its view that the rise in inflation was driven predominantly by temporary factors. However, in early October, Governor Andrew Bailey admitted that inflation was becoming more entrenched and was likely to remain so for some time. The bank’s official estimate for inflation for the year end was raised to 4%. Higher oil prices, surging wholesale gas prices and some food shortages were key factors behind this. The situation was exacerbated by a shortage of workers able to drive petrol tankers to refuel station forecourts, which led to low levels of available petrol. This pattern of staff shortages was repeated across quite a few industries and led to rising prices. However, after much speculation that the BoE would raise rates following its November policy meeting, rates remained unchanged. The market, nevertheless, continued to expect an increase before year-end.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE 100 index was up 6.48% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Industrials sector contributing 1.82% to the index total return, followed by the Energy sector at 1.74% and Health Care at 1.48%. In absolute terms the Industrial sector was up 15.7% and the Financials sector was up 19%. Telecoms (-0.36%) and Basic Materials (-0.60%) contributed negatively to the total return.

At the single stock level, the largest contributors to the overall total return were Astrazeneca (0.91%), Royal Dutch Shell (0.7%) and GlaxoSmithKline (0.66%).

Sterling’s depreciation versus the US dollar helped UK equities to remain range bound over the reporting period. Despite concern about the spread of the Delta variant into the summer, the UK’s recovery continued in earnest until September. More recently, the combination of the UK’s budget, slowing economic outlook, Bank of England rate decision and renewed Brexit concerns has put sterling under persistent pressure which is helping to offset the lacklustre performance of the Index.

20 FTSE ALL-SHARE INDEX FUND

FTSE All-Share Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE All-Share Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index represents the performance of all shares on the main market of the London Stock Exchange, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest in a representative sample of the shares (equities) of companies that make up the Index and possibly some securities that are not included in the Index that are designed to help the Fund track the performance of the Index.

The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE All-Share Index was up 6.68% over the reporting period.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Industrials sector contributing 1.77% to the index total return, followed by the Energy sector at 1.34% and Health Care at 1.32%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 14.20%, 17.89% and 14.56% respectively. Basic Materials was the largest negative contributor to the total return at -0.47% followed by Telecommunications at -0.24%. These were the only two negatively contributing sectors.

At the single stock level, the largest contributors to the overall total return were Astrazeneca at 0.72%, Royal Dutch Shell at 0.56% and GlaxoSmithKline at 0.53%. The largest negative contributors were Rio Tinto at -0.56% and Unilever at -0.31%.

UK equities trended higher consistently over the reporting period, peaking in mid-October. Despite concern about the spread of the Delta variant into the summer, the UK’s recovery continued in earnest until September. More generally, the combination of the UK’s budget, the recent slowing economic outlook, the Bank of England rate decision, and renewed Brexit concern have been a significant headwind for UK equities.

44 FTSE 250 INDEX FUND

FTSE 250 Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE 250 Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index is made up of the 250 largest companies after the 100 largest stock market listed companies in the United Kingdom, as defined by the Index Provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest directly in shares (equities) of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE 250 Index was up 7.44% over the reporting period.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Financials sector contributing 2.63% to the index total return, followed by the Industrials sector at 1.77%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 7.25% and 10.43% respectively though the best performing sector in terms of absolute return was the Health Care sector. Consumer Discretionary was the largest negative contributor to the total return at -0.6% followed by Energy at -0.13%. These were the only two negatively contributing sectors.

At the single stock level, the largest contributors to the overall total return were WM Morrison at 0.64%, Meggitt at 0.46% and Marks and Spencer at 0.37%. The largest negative contributors were TUI at -0.32% and Easyjet at -0.25%.

UK mid cap equities trended higher consistently over the reporting period, peaking in early September. Despite concern about the spread of the Delta variant into the summer, the UK’s recovery continued in earnest until September. More generally, the combination of the UK’s budget, the recent slowing economic outlook, the Bank of England rate decision, and renewed Brexit concern have been a significant headwind for UK equities.

59FTSE ALL-WORLD INDEX FUND

FTSE All-World Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE All-World Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index measures the performance of large and medium size companies in developed and emerging markets, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest in a representative sample of the shares (equities) of companies that make up the Index and possibly some securities that are not included in the Index that are designed to help the Fund track the performance of the Index.

The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The S&P 500 Index returned 14.78% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Technology sector contributing 6.08% to the index total return, followed by the Consumer Discretionary sector at 2.40% and Financials at 1.55%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 28.05%, 15.66% and 10.71% respectively. There were no negatively contributing sectors.

At the country level, the largest contributor to performance was the US contributing 10.70% to the index total return, with the next largest contribution being some way behind from Japan at 0.71%. China was the largest negative contributor to the index total return at -0.19%.

At the single stock level, the largest contributors to the overall total return were Microsoft at 1.22%, Apple Inc at 0.74% and Nvidia at 0.63%. The largest negative contributor was Alibaba at -0.10%.

Inflationary pressures and the spread of the delta variant dominated the headlines into the summer but global equities continued to rally despite the news flow. The combination of strong corporate earnings and monetary policy on hold for the most part around the world helped act as a tailwind. A small pull back in September due to concerns over China and the possibility of earlier than expected tightening in the US was offset by a rally in October on a US debt ceiling resolution.

142 EUROPEAN INDEX FUND

European Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE Developed Europe excluding UK Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index is made up of large and medium sized companies covering developed markets in Europe excluding the UK, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest directly in shares (equities) of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE Developed Europe ex UK Index was up 11.49% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Health Care sector contributing 2.39% to the index total return, followed by the Technology sector at 2.05%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 16.55% and 24.34% respectively. There were no negatively contributing sectors.

At the country level, the largest contributor to performance was Switzerland contributing 3.12% to the index total return, with the next largest contribution being the Netherlands at 2.10%. There were no negatively contributing countries.

At the single stock level, the largest contributor to the overall total return was ASML Holding at 1.16%. The largest negative contributor was Anheuser-Busch at -0.12%.

European equities performed well into the summer playing ‘catch up’ as vaccine programs were rolled out, the European Central Bank (ECB) was notably dovish versus the Federal Reserve (Fed) and activity data improved. The ECB announced that they will change their inflation target to allow it to overshoot 2% and committed to their loose policy stance, which further provided a favourable environment for equities. After the summer headwinds started to appear as European stocks traded lower as the ECB decided to slow down its emergency bond purchase programme, whilst the region also faced rising natural gas prices amid a supply and demand imbalance in the energy markets. In October European stocks traded higher as corporates delivered solid earnings, concerns around the European energy crisis abated and the ECB signalled a dovish tone. The ECB president, Christine Lagarde, dismissed fears of persistent inflation and pushed back on investors’ expectations of a rate rise next year.

161AMERICAN INDEX FUND

American Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of five years or more, by tracking the performance of the S&P 500 Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index is made up of the 500 largest stock market listed companies in the United States of America, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest directly in shares (equities) of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The S&P 500 Index returned 19.05% over the reporting period.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Information Technology sector contributing 7.73% to the index total return, followed by the Consumer Discretionary sector at 2.92% and Health Care at 1.85%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 29.45%, 24.04% and 13.94% respectively. There were no negatively contributing sectors.

At the single stock level, the largest contributors to the overall total return were Microsoft at 2.27%, Apple Inc at 1.37% and Nvidia at 1.22%. The largest negative contributor was AT&T at -0.11%.

The narrative behind US stocks switched from one of ‘inflation is transitory’ to one of ‘inflation may persist for a while’ leading to a material re-pricing of US Federal Reserve (Fed) rate hike expectations which the Fed chose not to push back on. Despite this, US equities put in a strong performance over this period. Other positive factors contributed such as a bipartisan agreement of a $1trn infrastructure spending plan, which subsequently led to the Senate passing a bipartisan infrastructure bill containing $550bn of new spending. Also, in October a US government default was averted as the Senate reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling by $480bn. Corporate earnings have generally been strong and the improvement in labour market dynamics have been impressive.

182 JAPAN INDEX FUND

Japan Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE Japan Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy

The Index is made up of large and medium sized companies listed in Japan, as defined by the Index Provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy

The Fund will invest directly in shares (equities) of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE Japan Index was up 10.94% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Industrials sector contributing 3.41% to the index total return, followed by the Consumer Discretionary sector at 3.17%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 14.07% and 13.83% respectively. The Utility and Energy sectors were negatively contributing sectors to the overall total return at -0.25% and -0.16% respectively.

At the single stock level, the largest contributor to the overall total return was Toyota Motor at 1.15%. The largest negative contributor was Softbank Group at -0.44%.

Japanese equities have been range bound for the most part over the second and third quarter of the year with a large rally in September, as Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga announced a plan to resign, which could pave the way for greater fiscal stimulus measures ahead of elections, went into reverse in October. Japan, as have many other countries in Asia, has been struggling to contain Covid.

203PACIFIC INDEX FUND

Pacific Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide growth over the long term, which is a period of 5 years or more, by tracking the performance of the FTSE World Asia Pacific excluding Japan Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index is made up of large and medium sized companies in developed and emerging markets in the Asia Pacific region, excluding Japan, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest directly in shares (equities) of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The S&P 500 Index was up 6.34% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Technology sector contributing 2.53% to the index total return, followed by the Financials sector at 1.82%. In absolute terms these sectors returned 8.99% and 7.99% respectively. Basic Materials was the negatively contributing sector at -0.75%.

At the country level, the largest contributor to performance was Taiwan contributing 4.00% to the index total return, with the next largest contribution being Australia at 1.70%. South Korea was the largest negative contributor to the index total return at -1.34%.

At the single stock level, the largest contributor to the overall total return by some distance was TSMC at 1.59%. The largest negative contributor was Samsung Electron at -0.66%.

Asian stocks have struggled throughout the year given the negative news flow around China as the Chinese government announced bans on making profits in the domestic education sector and issued regulations to limit funding for property developers, which unnerved investors in the region. In addition, the spread of the Delta variant across Asia, a slow vaccination role out and poor vaccine efficacy led to selective lockdowns across countries. In September Evergrande, the highly indebted Chinese property developer, faced growing investor concerns around its ability to repay its debts, causing markets to worry about the potential contagion effects. Some factories in China were also forced to shut down production as the nation faced energy supply challenges. Chinese equities managed to stabilise into October however as Evergrande managed to avoid default.

225UK GILT INDEX FUND

UK Gilt Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to provide income by tracking the performance of the FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts All Stocks Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index is made up of Sterling denominated UK Government Bonds (“gilts”), as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest in all of the gilts that make up the Index in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in all the gilts that make up the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the gilts of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts All Stocks Index total return was up 2.57% over the period despite gilt yields falling into August but subsequently rising sharply from September into October across all main maturities. Curves were under persistent flattening pressure from May but steepened back in September. While the shorter dated gilt yields (2 years) increased by 50 basis points, the longer dated gilt yields (30 years) fell roughly 27 basis points though that masked material yield volatility over that period. At the same time the 5-year gilt yield increased by 42 basis points and the 10-year gilt yields by 10 basis points.

The reporting period has been strongly dominated by concern around inflationary pressures and the potential for the Bank of England (BoE) to hike, but against that there is concern about the spread of the Delta variant within the UK given the sharp pick up in case count numbers. The BoE is likely to be one of the first major developed world central banks to hike rates.

Yet despite concern about the spread of the Delta variant into the summer, the UK’s recovery continued in earnest until September. More generally, the combination of the UK’s budget, the recent slowing economic outlook, the BoE rate decision and renewed Brexit concern have been a significant tailwind for longer dated Gilts.

UK Gilts will of course be impacted with their beta to US treasuries but they are increasingly trading with their own dynamic.

236 STERLING CORPORATE BOND INDEX FUND

Sterling Corporate Bond Index Fund

Investment Objective

The Fund aims to track the performance of the Markit iBoxx GBP Non-Gilts Index (the “Index”).

Investment Policy*

The Index consists of various types of bond that have a credit rating of investment grade and are issued globally by companies (corporates), other large organisations and governments, other than the UK Government, as defined by the Index provider.

The Fund may invest in different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and dividend payments with the aim of generating returns that are consistent with the Index. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest in a representative sample of the sterling-denominated bonds that make up the Index.

The Fund may also invest in sterling-denominated bonds that are no longer or not yet part of part of the Index, as well as bonds issued by the UK Government (gilts). The Fund does not intend to use bonds that are not part of the Index extensively and their use will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

The Markit iBoxx GBP Non-Gilts Index increased during the period by 1.27% on the back of tightening credit spreads (yield difference versus a UK gilt of the same maturity) despite a reversal higher in Gilt yields through September and into October which led to sharp spread widening into November. The 10-year gilt yields increased by 10 basis points from 0.86% to 0.96%, while the 30-year gilt yields fell roughly 27 basis points though that masked material yield volatility over that period.

The non-gilt credit spread (based on Bloomberg Barclays) was more or less unchanged at 92 bps, though higher rated segments were under widening pressure versus their lower rated peers. The BBB segment outperformed higher rated segments as the given the pickup in Gilt volatility and its impact on higher rated sterling bonds. Most sector segments were unchanged with slight outperformance by Utilities.

The reporting period has been strongly dominated by concern around inflationary pressures and the potential for the Bank of England (BoE) to hike, but against that there is concern about the spread of the Delta variant within the UK given the sharp pick up in case count numbers. The BoE is likely to be one of the first major developed world central banks to hike rates.

Yet despite concern about the spread of the Delta variant into the summer, the UK’s recovery continued in earnest until September. More generally, the combination of the UK’s budget, the recent slowing economic outlook, the BoE rate decision and renewed Brexit concern have been a significant tailwind for longer dated Gilts.

We expect credit spreads to continue to widen as the BoE looks to hike interest rates and unwind some of its emergency measures. Whilst corporate fundamentals are expected remain reasonably strong, current tight spreads limit the potential for further tightening. Market technicals as a result of the quantative easing programmes remain supportive but illiquidity could creep in over year end if Gilt yields keep moving higher.

260 DEVELOPED WORLD SUSTAINABLE EQUITY INDEX FUND

Developed World Sustainable Equity Index Fund

Investment Objective*

The Fund aims to provide returns by tracking the performance of the FTSE Developed ESG Low Carbon Select Index (the “Index”) before the deduction of charges.

Investment Policy*

The Index is comprised of the shares (equities) of large and medium sized companies from developed markets. The Index seeks to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions and fossil fuel reserves exposure and an improvement of the FTSE Russell ESG rating against that of the FTSE Developed Index (the ‘Parent Index’). The Index also excludes the shares of certain companies based on sustainability criteria. Further information about the Index and the criteria can be found in the Prospectus.

The Fund may use different types of derivatives for efficient portfolio management, including hedging. In particular the Fund may use derivatives to help it manage cash flows and to gain exposure to companies that make up the Index. The Fund may invest up to 10% of its value in contracts for differences. The use of derivatives will be consistent with the risk profile of the Fund.

Investment Strategy*

The Fund will invest directly in shares of all of the companies that make up the Index and in the same or very similar proportions in which they are included in the Index.

However, there may be circumstances when it is not possible or practical for the Fund to invest in shares of all the companies of the Index. The Fund may not invest in all the companies of the Index to manage transaction costs or to reflect market conditions, regulations or HSBC’s banned weapons policy.

The Fund may hold cash and other funds, including funds managed by the HSBC Group, to manage day-to-day cash flow requirements.

The Fund’s performance is measured against the Index, because the Fund intends to track the performance of the Index.

*For details of the full Investment Policy and Strategy please refer to the HSBC Index Tracker Investment Funds prospectus. We have also published a Glossary of key terms used which you may wish to refer to. Both documents can be found at https://www.assetmanagement.hsbc.co.uk/en/individual-investor/fund-centre.

Portfolio Activity

FTSE Developed ESG Low Carbon Index returned 14.65% over the reporting period 16th May 2021 to 15th November 2021.

At the sector level, the largest contributor to performance was the Technology sector which contributed 7.38% to the overall total return. This sector also had the best absolute total return of 29.10%. The second largest contributor to the total return was the Consumer Discretionary sector, contributing 1.96% to the overall total return. All sectors contributed in a positive sense to the total return except Basic Materials.

At the country level, the largest contributing region, by far, was the USA at 11.38% with Japan a distant second at 0.91%. South Korea was the largest negative contributor at 0.17%.

Finally, at the single stock level Microsoft was the largest contributor to overall performance at 3.73% given its 9.71% weight within the index. Samsung Electronics was the largest drag on performance at -0.12%.

2021 has so far been another positive year for global equities despite concern around inflation, volatility in interest rate markets, monetary policy tightening in some developed and emerging countries and general concern around the policy outlook in mainland China. As yearend approaches and yet another strain of Covid appears (Omicron) there is potential for financial market volatility over the festive period.

ESG Performance

Carbon Intensity – 67.5 Fund 138.6 Benchmark.

ESG – 3.9 Fund 3.3 Benchmark.

Carbon Intensity is a measure of the quantity of carbon emissions of the companies held by the Fund/constituents of the benchmark (measured in tonnes CO²e/USD million).

ESG Score is a measure of the Environmental, Social and Governance characteristics of the companies held by the Fund/constituents of the benchmark.

Source: S&P Trucost/FTSE Russell 31 October 2021.

We have worked with FTSE Russell to develop an innovative index that goes beyond current market offering and build a new range of sustainable solutions.

Traditional ESG index-based strategies are generally focused on one or two factors. Investors have faced a trade-off between generating the sustainable uplift they desire, whilst maintaining low tracking error and minimising sector divergence. The FTSE Russell ESG Low Carbon Select Indices, which use FTSE Russell’s Target Exposure methodology, have broken this boundary, introducing a new offering with three tilts through a clear and robust methodology.

Our equity Sustainable Index Tracker Fund tracks a customised index that aims to provide the following:

1. 20% ESG improvement tilt, defined by FTSE Russell’s proprietary ESG scoring methodology;

2. 50% Carbon Intensity reduction tilt, defined as the latest annual Operational, Scope 1 and Scope 2 Carbon Emissions of CO2 equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG), emissions in metric tonnes scaled by annual revenues. FTSE Russell sources this data from TruCost, a renowned and experienced third-party provider of data, tools and insights;

3. 50% Fossil Fuel Reserve Intensity reduction tilt, defined as the estimated CO2 equivalent GHG emissions in metric tons generated by the combustion of a company’s fossil fuel reserves, divided by its full company market capitalisation (in USD).

In addition to overweighting and underweighting stocks according to these factors, the index takes into consideration country neutrality and, within set bands, sector neutrality, vis-a-vis the parent market cap index and incorporates a custom exclusion list based on UN Global Compact Principles and other sustainability factors.

Tracking Error

As the Fund was launched on 10 December 2020, there are no tracking error values available.

Income

Income is distributed or accumulated in the following way:-

• You will receive income payments net of tax. The payment dates for each of the Funds are detailed in the table on pages 301 to 303.

• If you hold accumulation shares, income will be retained within the Fund. No additional shares will be bought. The price of shares will reflect the net income received.

We must disclose details of such distributions to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The distribution also needs to be disclosed on your tax return.

Income Tax

A tax voucher is sent to all shareholders when distributions are paid or accumulated which will aid completion of tax returns.

Interest Distributions:

From 6 April 2017, any income that is distributed from our funds as interest is paid or accumulated gross of tax to all shareholders. This follows the announcement from the UK Government in 2016 of its intention to remove the requirement for tax to be deducted from interest distributions of open-ended investment companies.

A Personal Savings Allowance currently applies for UK individual taxpayers. This means that no tax is payable on savings income, which includes interest distributions, of up to £1,000 for basic rate taxpayers and up to £500 for higher rate taxpayers.

This allowance is not available for additional rate taxpayers. UK taxpayers, including basic rate taxpayers, are liable to pay UK tax on savings income above the allowance, subject to the starting rate of tax for savings.

For UK corporate shareholders, interest distributions will be paid without the deduction of tax. Such shareholders will be subject to corporation tax on the gross amount of the distribution or accumulation.

For non-UK resident shareholders, interest distributions will be paid without the deduction of tax. Tax may or may not be payable depending on the shareholder’s tax position and the provisions of any relevant double tax treaty with the UK.

Dividend Distributions:

A dividend allowance applies for UK resident individual shareholders which charges the first £2,000 of dividends received in the tax year at 0%. A UK resident individual shareholder will have to pay income tax at the applicable basic, higher or additional rate (depending on the shareholder’s individual tax position) on dividend income in excess of the £2,000 allowance. Note that dividend income within the £2,000 allowance will still count towards basic, higher and additional rate bands and may therefore affect the rate of income tax that a shareholder pays on dividends they receive in excess of the £2,000 allowance.

Where a corporate shareholder receives a dividend distribution from a Fund, such a shareholder should apportion the amount of the distribution (by way of a formula) between that part representing the Fund’s income subject to corporation tax and that part representing the Fund’s other income. Only that part which represents the income subject to corporation tax in the Fund will be liable to corporation tax (in the hands of the corporate shareholder) and will be treated as an annual payment received after deduction of income tax at the basic rate. That deemed income tax will be available to offset against the corporation tax liability of the shareholder or may be repaid subject to certain restrictions.

For non-UK resident shareholders, tax may or may not be payable depending on the shareholder’s tax position and the provisions of any relevant double tax treaty with the UK.

This information is based on our understanding of current UK law and HM Revenue and Customs practice which may be subject to retrospective change. The future basis and rates of taxation may change without warning. Shareholders are recommended to consult their professional advisers if they are in any doubt as to their individual tax position.

294

Capital Gains Tax

You will not need to pay capital gains tax unless your net gains from all sources exceed the annual exemption limit. The limit for the 2021/2022 tax year is £12,300.

Assessment of Value

The Authorised Fund Manager is required to perform a detailed assessment on whether funds are 'providing value to investors'.

The resulting findings are published in a consolidated report on our website.

Ongoing charges figure

Underlying fund charges in this report are in relation to the sub-fund holding investments in other collective investment schemes but excludes holdings in investment trusts.

Important Notes

The Interim Report covers the period 16 May 2021 to 15 November 2021.

The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. Where overseas investments are held the rate of currency exchange may also cause the value of such investments to fluctuate. Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in some established markets. Stock market investments should be viewed as a medium to long term investment and should be held for at least five years. Any performance information shown refers to the past and should not be seen as an indication of future returns. This can affect the price of shares within open-ended investment companies and the income from them.

Past performance should not be seen as an indication of future returns.

Your holding in an open-ended investment company must be regarded as a medium to long-term investment; this means for at least five years.

Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in some established markets. These risks include the possibility of failed or delayed settlement, registration and custody of securities and the level of investor protection offered.

The value and relative yield of fixed interest securities (including bonds) are strongly affected by interest rate fluctuations and by changes in the credit ratings of the underlying issuer of the assets. Higher-yielding securities are more likely to default.

The long-term nature of investment in property and the income generated tend to make this type of investment less volatile than equities although it can be difficult to buy and/or sell quickly. Where the underlying Funds invest directly in property, the property in the Fund may not be readily realisable, and the Manager of the Fund may apply a deferral on redemption requests. The value of property is generally a matter of the valuer's opinion rather than fact. Listed property securities are part of the equity market and are more volatile than direct (unlisted) property, which can mean that the price of shares and the income from them can fluctuate, sometimes dramatically.

Please note any reference to “Fund” or “Funds” means a sub fund of the Company.

Additional FTSE Russell Rebalance - 17 December 2021

FTSE Russell in December 2021 identified an issue in their ESG score calculation of the constituents of this index. The issue affected the weights of the constituents that FTSE Russell instructed HSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited to purchase at the annual September rebalance. The Carbon intensity calculation and eligibility criteria of the index was not affected by this issue and the fund has continued to be managed in line with its objective. On the 17 December the index was rebalanced using the revised and confirmed ESG scores from FTSE Russell. HSBC Global Asset Management (UK) Limited has conducted a thorough analysis of the impact of the issue for the period between the September and December index changes and the performance of the fund has not been adversely affected. A review of trading costs however identified that during the September rebalance and subsequent December rebalance additional costs have been borne by the fund and therefore a payment of £56,384.41* will be paid back into the fund covering the extra trading activity. *converted from $ to £ using the FX rate from Bloomberg as of 17 December 2021.

Accounting Policies

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of investments, in compliance with FRS 102 and in accordance with the Statement of Recommended Practice for Authorised Funds (SORP) issued by The Investment Association in May 2014.

298

Other Information

Equalisation

Revenue received by the Fund during the distribution period is reflected in the price of shares until the revenue is distributed. The cost of Group 2 shares bought during a distribution period will therefore include an element of revenue.

Equalisation represents the average amount of accrued revenue included in the purchase price of all Group 2 shares sold in the period, which is refunded as part of a shareholder’s first distribution. This amount is treated as a capital repayment for tax purposes. It is not liable to income or corporation tax and is deducted from the original cost of the shares for capital gains tax purposes.

Index Tracking

The Funds aim to achieve their objectives by investing in an optimised portfolio of the constituents, of the relevant Index, providing an efficient exposure to this index. In replicating the index the ACD reserves the right to exercise the full powers of the Funds in relation to borrowing and efficient portfolio management as and when it considers that the circumstances which then exist make it appropriate to do so. The Scheme property may also not consist of the exact composition and weighting of the underlying index in circumstances where the ACD determines that this is expedient for reasons of poor liquidity or excessive cost to the Funds.
