Terms and conditions

Each of the Funds invests primarily in shares of a particular sub-fund of HSBC Global Investment Funds (each a "Sub-Fund"), which is an investment company incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Units in the Global Unit Trusts are distributed by HSBC and are issued by HSBC Investments New Zealand Limited. The terms and conditions set out in the Global Unit Trusts Investment Statement and Prospectus apply, which are available free of charge at any HSBC office. Units in the Global Unit Trusts do not represent bank deposits or other liabilities of HSBC and are subject to investment risk, including possible delays in repayment and loss of principal invested. No person guarantees HSBC Investments New Zealand Limited or the capital value or performance of the Global Unit Trusts. Where overseas investments are held, the rate of exchange may cause the value of such investments, and the price of the Funds' units, to go down as well as up. The sub-funds in which the Funds invest may invest in emerging markets, which are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in established markets.

Eligibility criteria apply to HSBC Premier. Investment Adviser Disclosure Statements are available on request free of charge. Issued by The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, incorporated in the Hong Kong SAR with limited liability, acting through its New Zealand branch.
