HSBC on Hedge Funds
HSBC: As an alternative asset, hedge funds mainly invest in publicly traded stocks, bonds and financial derivatives, such as futures and options. Compared to traditional securities investment funds, hedge funds adopt more complex investment strategies and techniques, diversifying investors’ stock and debt portfolios by utilising varied strategies beyond traditional investments. Therefore, hedge funds are suitable for qualified investors who are experienced and with certain risk tolerance levels. Boston Consulting Group expects alternatives to grow at an annual rate of 9% through 2026, at which point they will represent an estimated 19% of global assets under management.
HSBC China Head of Investment and Wealth Solutions (Wealth & Personal Banking) Ying Wang:
“The low correlation between alternative and traditional asset classes provides investors with a wide range of risk, return and diversification options with higher flexibility. Institutions and high-net-worth as well as ultra-high-net-worth investors are increasingly interested in alternative assets, especially hedge funds with diversified strategies. Hedge funds can be an effective tool for portfolio diversification, helping investors capture opportunities amid the current market volatility.
Looking ahead, we shall select and onboard more alternative investment strategies from leading global and local partners to enrich our range of asset management products with investment targets including hedge fund, private equity, private debt and real estate fund.”
HSBC China Head of Global Private Banking Jackie Mau:
“The deployment of alternative strategies is the latest step in enhancing our differentiated service capabilities since we launched a new model for our global private banking business in mainland China in the first half of the year. As high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients become more mature in their asset allocation approach, we expect their demand for alternative assets to grow.
As the wealth management industry in China develops, alternative assets, including hedge funds, can further enhance the diversified asset allocation capabilities of foreign wealth managers. We will continue to see in-depth cooperation between foreign banks and asset management institutions in more areas, continuing to meet the need for a more diverse range of investment solutions.”
