Why choose a Multimanager fund?
Choosing an investment is more complex than it looks: No single asset manager has a monopoly on talent No fund manager is an expert in all asset classes Even the very best managers may occasionally underperform Using a single manager is inherently risky

What is MultiAlpha?
Alpha vs beta Alpha: An indicator of risk adjusted performance of a fund, ie the performance over (or under) the benchmark index. The objective will be to generate positive alpha, therefore outperforming the index Beta: The tendency of a fund (or portfolio) to move in line with its associated market benchmark (ie the tendency of a US equity fund to move in line with the S&P500 index). A beta of 1 is an exact replication (index funds or ETFs would be very close to 1) MultiAlpha: Combining a range of managers who produce alpha via different methods and blending them together in order to control risk and generate superior fund performance

The HSBC MultiAlpha funds are sub-funds of the HSBC International Select Fund, a Luxembourg domiciled SICAV. The Investment Adviser to the funds is HSBC Asset Management (France) who in turn appoints sub-advisers to manager portion of the fund's portfolio. As with any investment where the underlying investments are stocks and shares, the price of shares in HSBC International Select Fund and any income from it can go down as well as up, is not guaranteed, and you may not get back the amount of your original investment. Where overseas investments are held, the rate of exchange may cause the value of such investments to go down as well as up.
