HSBC has launched its first equity ETFs in Hong Kong with four new funds which will provide investors with separate exposure to stock markets in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan as well as one based on a composite MSCI index that will give exposure to all three.
“The launch of the HSBC Greater China ETF series will cater to demand for enhanced emerging market investment products that are backed by an unwavering emphasis on quality, transparency and value,” said Gordon French, head of global markets, Asia-Pacific at HSBC.
The four ETFs all carry a total expense ratio of 50 basis points. They employ “physical” replication so they buy the constituents of each index rather than using derivatives to deliver the returns of each underlying benchmark.
