As the topic of sustainability has become even more essential to the investment world, the demand for solutions that have positive impacts are rapidly growing. By combining our experience in passive investing with our socially responsible investing expertise, we have launched the HSBC Sustainable Equity ETFs, designed to take a step beyond traditional sustainable ETF solutions.

As the World’s Best Bank for Sustainable Finance1, we have collaborated with FTSE Russell to develop indices with an innovative 3-tilt approach which goes beyond typical market offering.

Investors’ desire to initiate change through sustainable investing continues to grow and long-run equity returns are increasingly driven by companies that effectively implement strong environmental, social and governance practices. These foundations are the driving force behind our new sustainable equity ETFs, which will provide investors with a core sustainable building block for their portfolios.
Xavier Desmadryl, Global Head of ESG Research, HSBC Asset Management

An innovative approach

An innovative triple tilting process – developed in collaboration with FTSE Russell – allows the indices to target:
bullet20% ESG improvement
bullet50% Carbon Intensity reduction
bullet50% Fossil Fuel reserves reduction

FOSSIL FUEL RESERVES, ESG SCORE, CO2 EMISSIONS

We are stewards of our clients’ money

Passive investing does not mean being a passive investor. One natural concern among the investors community when it comes to sustainable investing is shareholder engagement. HSBC Asset Management is an active steward of the assets managed on behalf of clients. As an early signatory of the PRI in 2006, we are committed to responsible investing and do so by driving positive behaviour and promoting high standards.

We believe that good corporate governance ensures that companies are managed in line with the long-term interests of their investors
