The HSBC PLUS Active ETF range includes the HSBC PLUS USA Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Income Quant Active UCITS ETF, and HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Income Quant Active UCITS ETF.
These funds utilise a quantitative-driven investment approach, leveraging HSBC AM’s Quantitative Equity capabilities.
The core range, consisting of the HSBC PLUS USA Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, HSBC PLUS World Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, and HSBC PLUS Emerging Markets Equity Quant Active UCITS ETF, focuses on maximising exposure to the highest-ranked stocks based on factor characteristics while minimising overall portfolio risk.
The income range aims to identify equity securities with attractive income and quality characteristics, providing additional income compared to a market-cap index while preserving capital growth, added the company.
