Euroland equity
Euroland Equity Strategy
Aims to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns with exposure to Eurozone mid & large-cap equity and is managed with a systematic bias to the value factor
Our philosophy
- We believe that markets are inefficient at times ; hence, underlying profitability fundamentals are not always reflected by valuation
- We seek to determine whether a company’s current valuation is valid by evaluating its sustainable level of profitability
- Since our approach is fundamentally driven, we focus on the long term
- We believe that ESG integration enhances the robustness of our research, thus enabling us to take more informed investment decisions
Our process
- The strategy consistently applies “profitability and valuation” centred on a research-driven process of purchasing potentially undervalued companies with the aim to capture future price appreciation
- This fundamental, bottom-up approach, integrating ESG criteria analysis, allows the fund manager to identify the companies that the market may be mispricing
HSBC Strengths
- One common, consistent, transparent “profitability & valuation” approach for equity strategies
- Strong culture of research and risk management seeking to deliver consistent returns over time

Sustainable Euroland Equity Strategy
Aims to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns with exposure to Eurozone mid & large-cap equity and is managed with a systematic bias to the value factor, combined with a SRI "Best in class" approach
Our philosophy
- We believe that markets are inefficient at times ; hence, underlying profitability fundamentals are not always reflected by valuation
- We seek to determine whether a company’s current valuation is valid by evaluating its sustainable level of profitability
- Since our approach is fundamentally driven, we focus on the long term
- We believe that ESG integration enhances the robustness of our research, thus enabling us to take more informed investment decisions
Our process
- We apply a Best-in-class ESG filter to reduce the investment universe prior to applying our standard profitability & valuation approach. The filter seeks to identify higher ESG-rating names within our SRI universe. 4th quartile companies along with the tobacco and weapons sectors are excluded
- This fundamental, bottom-up approach, integrating ESG analysis, allows the fund manager to identify the companies that the market may be mispricing
