HSBC's pick of investment funds

Investing can be a sensible and important part of an overall financial planning - but it can be an intimidating prospect. That's why HSBC have put together eight different investment funds for you to consider.

  • the funds invest in a diverse range of assets including stocks and shares and UK Government bonds
  • you can apply online today, so it's never been easier to invest with first direct.

The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.

Any investment should be considered as a medium to long-term investment, that is, it should be held for at least five years.

The information on this website does not constitute advice.

If you decide to apply direct, that is without receiving advice, you should understand that we are not required to assess the suitability of these funds for you. Therefore you will not be protected by the FSA's rules on assessing suitability. Please note that first direct does not give investment advice. If any doubt about the suitability of this investment speak to an independent qualified financial advisor.

Making the most of your ISA subscription

Any returns within an ISA are tax efficient because they are free from any personal liability to UK Income Tax and Capital Gains Tax. Bear in mind however the favourable tax status of ISAs may not be maintained in the future. The value of tax advantages depends on individual circumstances.

Because of their tax advantages ISAs are subject to annual subscription limits. The overall ISA subscription limit is £11,520 for tax year 6 April 2013 to 5 April 2014. Up to £5,760 of this overall limit can be saved in a cash ISA with one provider. The remainder of the £11,520 can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA with either the same or another provider. Alternatively the full £11,520 can be invested in a stocks and shares ISA with one provider.

 

Still can't find what you're looking for?

If you're looking for an alternative fund HSBC Bank plc offers a larger range of funds. You can find the full list of funds offered by HSBC here.

 

The value of investments and the income they generate can go down as well as up; you may not get back the full amount you invested. This may in part be due to exchange rate fluctuations where overseas investments are held.

Any investment should be considered as a medium to long-term investment, that is, it should be held for at least five years.

The value of the tax benefits described above depends on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in the future.
