Important Information About the Taxation of Funds Launched in 2018

Earlier this year, HSBC Global Asset Management launched the HSBC Wealth Compass Funds, which includes the HSBC Wealth Compass Conservative Fund and HSBC Wealth Compass Moderate Conservative Fund (individually a "Non-MFT Fund" and collectively the "Non-MFT Funds"). Today, HSBC Global Asset Management determined that it does not expect the Non-MFT Funds to meet the requirements to qualify as a mutual fund trust for tax purposes for 2018 by the required deadline, which is the end of March 2019. This determination, along with the fact that for some or all of 2018 HSBC Bank Canada has held greater than 50% of the outstanding units, means that the taxation of the Non-MFT Funds will differ from the other Funds, including:

The Non-MFT Funds are registered investments under the Income Tax Act and thus are qualified investments for registered plans.

For more details on the tax implications, please refer to the December 2018 HSBC Mutual Funds Simplified Prospectus and Annual Information Form that will be published on or after 18 December 2018.
