Our investment capabilities

Emerging markets are at the heart of HSBC's corporate identity. Throughout its history, the HSBC Group has maintained a strong presence in global trade, particularly in India and China, the world's most dynamic emerging markets.

HSBC's long-standing presence in these markets provides HSBC Global Asset Management's investment professionals with local access across the globe, creating exciting investment opportunities.

During more than a century of involvement in the emerging markets, we have established branches even in countries that were considered closed, restricted or highly centralised. We have acquired the status of a respected institution in these markets.

We manage one of the most extensive ranges of emerging markets funds, including some of the world's largest in their sectors. We can offer access to some of the 'world's fastest growing markets with a choice of investment styles and approaches to match your client's needs.

Over 200 dedicated emerging markets investment professionals working together from 20 key locations manage highly rated local, regional, and global products accessible through separate accounts and commingled vehicles. HSBC Global Asset Management managed approximately USD93 billion (as at end of June 2010) in emerging markets assets.

We aim to uncover exciting investment opportunities and provide extensive access to these rapidly developing markets. Our investment and product capabilities allow us to serve the needs of all types of investors and we have acknowledged expertise in:
