RMB is not freely convertible and is subject to exchange control. There is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. The Fund may invest in securities that are denominated and/or settled in other currencies. Movement in the relevant exchange rates may adversely affect the Fund s performance.

The Fund is subject to liquidity risk as there may not have active secondary market for RMB bonds. Investments of the Fund may include investment grade, non-investment grade and unrated bonds. Generally, non-investment grade and unrated bonds may subject to higher risk. For certain classes of the Fund, the Fund may pay dividends out of capital or pay dividends gross of expenses. Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital or effectively out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund s investments may involve substantial credit/counterparty, downgrading, market, currency, volatility, liquidity, regulatory and political risks.

3 HSBC Global Investment Trust - HSBC RMB Bond Fund Share Class AQ2RMB 31 Mar 2018 Monthly Performance Commentary Review The offshore renminbi bond market continued to perform well in March, as the renminbi appreciated against the US dollar by around 1.1%. Offshore China government bond yields were relatively stable with the movement in yields ranging from -6 to 3 bps. The renminbi moved broadly sideways for most of the month while it strengthened sharply in late March. There was a greater focus on US-China trade tensions following the announcement by US President Trump of tariffs on steel and aluminium with the section 301 investigation ongoing. Concerns over a trade war between the US and China escalated on 21 March as reports suggested that Chinese authorities were preparing retaliative measures to US tariffs. President Trump signed a memorandum on 22 March to impose tariffs on some imports from China. On 26 March, the renminbi strengthened sharply on the news that China was considering stepping up efforts to avert a US trade war. The easing trade concerns boosted the renminbi, which may have also been supported by the headlines of inclusion of onshore renminbi bonds in the Bloomberg-Barclays Global Aggregate Index. The closely-watched China NPC meeting concluded in the month with a 6.5% GDP growth target, which is the same with last year but with a softer tone. Fiscal deficit target is also kept the same but smaller in percentage of GDP. Signalling a neutral monetary policy stance, the government also provided a softer tone on deleveraging, loosening borrowing through regular, transparent channels and curbing shadow banking. Separately, headline CPI inflation rose to 2.9% yoy in February due to Chinese New Year effect. This is largely driven by a sharp rise in food prices mainly due to low base effect from last year. Meanwhile, PPI slowed to 3.7% oya from 4.3% in January, which is expected to ease further in the coming months given the high base last year. Portfolio strategy The fund continued to perform well in March. The fund s exposure to the renminbi added value, as the renminbi strengthened against the US dollar by around 1.1%. Our exposure to offshore China government bonds also helped amid stabilisation in offshore China sovereign yields. On the other hand, our positions in selected bank subordinated bonds took a toll on the fund s performance amid broad risk-off sentiment in March. Over the month, we selectively participated in new issuance while we continue to favour better quality bonds over lower rated ones, and look for relative value opportunities with solid credit fundamentals. Outlook The renminbi has been fairly stable this year, after performing well in The currency is managed quite tightly to be broadly stable against the basket of currencies. Therefore, its performance against the USD is largely driven by the strength or weakness of USD as much as what happens in the domestic China economy. We believe it suits both the US and the Chinese authorities to have a more stable renminbi, if not a slightly stronger one. The US is keen to maintain the competitiveness of US business and manufacturing industries, and at the same time China is looking to convert its economy more towards domestic demands. A slightly stronger renminbi would serve the political will. It is not our base scenario that China will retaliate to the US s trade actions by significantly weakening the renminbi. It contrasts with China s domestic goals for economic stability, particularly given that the last round of renminbi weakness ended with policy measures to contain capital outflows and correct renminbi depreciation expectations. Significant renminbi depreciation will also likely tighten renminbi liquidity conditions and weigh on domestic demand, which could be a more important growth engine than demand from the US against the current backdrop. Offshore renminbi bonds still offer competitive yields with a short duration, relative to both onshore renminbi bonds and USD bonds. While onshore China government bond yields have declined notably year to date, offshore ones have shown little movement. Additionally, despite signs of some pickup in non-bank offshore renminbi bond issuance, demand-supply dynamics should remain favourable as supply stays under control and bond maturities have been reinvested in the secondary market. Meanwhile, renminbi bonds are a good diversifier in a global bond portfolio, which could add extra value for investors, particularly under the current environment of US treasury volatility.

8 What are the Key Risks? 本基金有哪些主要風險? Investments involve risks. Please refer to the offering document for details including risk factors. 投資附帶風險 請參閱銷售文件以便獲取其他資料, 包括風險因素 Investment risk 投資風險 The Fund is an investment fund. The Fund s investment portfolio may fall in value and therefore you may suffer losses by investing in the Fund. 本基金為投資基金 本基金的投資組合內的投資價值有機會下跌, 故閣下投資於本基金亦可能會蒙受虧損 Investing in the Fund is not the same as deposits with a bank. There is no guarantee in respect of repayment of principal. 投資於本基金有別於在銀行存款 概不保證可償還本金 RMB currency risk 人民幣貨幣風險 RMB is not a freely convertible currency and it is subject to exchange control policies and restrictions. Currency conversion is also subject to availability of RMB at the relevant time (i.e. it is possible there is not sufficient RMB for currency conversion in case of sizeable subscriptions in non-rmb denominated classes) and this may affect the investors investment in the Fund. 人民幣不可自由兌換, 且須受外匯管制政策及限制的規管 貨幣轉換亦須受人民幣在相關時間內的供應量所限 ( 即在作出大規模非人民幣計值類別之認購時, 可能會出現人民幣不足以進行貨幣轉換的情況 ), 其或會影響投資者於本基金的投資 There is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate and investors may suffer a loss if (i) they convert another currency into RMB so as to invest in the RMB denominated Classes and subsequently convert the RMB redemption proceeds back into such other currency or (ii) they invest in non-rmb denominated Classes of Units in case of depreciation of RMB, as the majority of the Fund s investments will be held in RMB denominated instruments and deposits. 概不保證人民幣將不會貶值, 且投資者 (i) 將另一貨幣轉換為人民幣以便投資於人民幣計值類別, 並於其後將人民幣贖回所得款項轉換回該等其他貨幣 ; 或 (ii) 在人民幣貶值時投資於非人民幣計值單位類別, 均可能會蒙受虧損, 原因是本基金的大多數投資將以人民幣計值工具及存款方式持有 The Fund may invest in securities that are denominated in RMB but settled in other currencies (such as USD or HKD). Its performance may be adversely affected by the movements in the exchange rates between RMB and such other currencies. 本基金可投資於以人民幣計值但以其他貨幣 ( 例如美元或港元 ) 結算的證券 其表現或會因人民幣兌該等其他貨幣的匯率走勢而受到不利影響 In calculating the value of non-rmb denominated or settled assets and the prices of non-rmb Classes, the Manager will normally apply the exchange rate for offshore RMB market in Hong Kong (the CNH rate ). The CNH rate may be at a premium or discount to the exchange rate for onshore RMB market in China (the CNY rate ) and there may be significant bid and offer spreads. The value of the Fund thus calculated will be subject to fluctuation. 在計算非人民幣計值或結算的資產的價值及非人民幣類別的價格時, 經理人通常會運用香港的離岸人民幣市場匯率 ( CNH 匯率 ) 與中國的非離岸人民幣市場匯率 ( CNY 匯率 ) 相比,CNH 匯率可能是 CNY 匯率的溢價或折讓, 並可能會有較大的買賣差價 按此計算的基金價值將受波動影響 Credit risk of counterparties 對手方的信貸風險 The Fund is exposed to the credit / insolvency risk of issuers of fixed income securities invested in and of counterparties with which cash is deposited or invested. 本基金須承受本基金所投資的固定收益證券之發行人及現金所存放或投資的對手方的信貸 / 無力償債風險 Fixed income securities in which the Fund invests may or may not be of investment grading, and are typically unsecured debt obligations not supported by any collateral. The Fund will be fully exposed to the credit / insolvency risk of its counterparties as an unsecured creditor. 本基金所投資的固定收益證券可能具備或不具備投資評級, 該等證券一般屬並無任何抵押品支持的無擔保債務債券 本基金作為無擔保債權人, 將須完全承受發行人的信貸 / 無力償債風險 Currently, most of the debt securities that are available to the Fund are not rated. These securities are subject to greater risks because of generally lower credit worthiness and liquidity, greater fluctuation in value and higher chance of default than investment grade securities. 現時, 大多數可供本基金投資的債務證券均未獲評級 由於該等證券的信貸可信性及流動性普遍較低 價值波動較大及承受違約風險的可能性亦可能較投資級別證券的為高, 故該等證券須承受較大風險 Interest rate risk 利率風險 An increase in interest rates may adversely affect the value of securities held by the Fund. This may cause the Fund to suffer a loss in its investments if it disposes of such securities before their maturity. 利率增加或會對本基金所持證券的價值造成負面影響 如本基金在證券到期前出售該等證券, 本基金的投資可能會蒙受虧損 Lack of RMB denominated instruments 缺乏人民幣計值工具 RMB denominated fixed income securities available for investment by the Fund are currently limited. The Fund may hold a significant portion of assets in bank deposits until suitable RMB denominated instruments are available in the market. This may adversely affect the Fund s performance. 現時可供本基金投資的人民幣計值固定收益證券數目有限 本基金可將其資產的重大部分存於銀行, 直至市場有提供合適的人民幣計值工具為止 這可能對本基金的表現有不利影響 Further, there is currently a limited supply of RMB denominated instruments that are rated investment grade. Therefore, the credit quality of the investments held by the Fund could be adversely affected; and the Fund may be subject to a higher degree of credit risk. 此外, 現時獲評為投資級別的人民幣計值工具的供應有限 因此, 本基金所持投資的信貸質素或會受到不利影響 ; 而本基金或須承受較高的信貸風險 3

9 Liquidity risk 流動性風險 There is currently no active secondary market for RMB denominated fixed income securities issued outside mainland China. The Fund may need to liquidate its investments at a substantial discount in order to satisfy redemption requests. 目前並無任何活躍的在中國大陸以外發行的人民幣計值固定收益證券第二市場 本基金可能需要以大幅折讓變賣其投資項目以滿足贖回要求 The bid and offer spreads of the price of the relevant RMB denominated instruments may be high and the Fund may incur significant costs and may therefore suffer losses when trading such instruments. 相關人民幣計值工具的買價和賣價的差價可能很大, 本基金因而可能招致重大成本, 並可能因此而在買賣該等工具時蒙受虧損 Derivative risk / Currency hedging risk 衍生工具風險 / 貨幣對沖風險 The Fund may use financial derivative instruments (i.e., deliverable / non-deliverable forwards) for hedging purposes only. There can be no assurance that any hedging techniques will fully and effectively eliminate the risk exposure of the Fund. In adverse situation, the Fund s use of derivatives in hedging may become ineffective and the Fund may suffer significant losses. Further, the availability of RMB hedging forwards that could be used by the Fund may be limited and costly, and the effectiveness may be subject to changing market conditions. 本基金僅可為對沖目的而運用金融衍生工具 ( 即交收 / 不交收遠期 ) 不能保證任何對沖技巧將可以全面及有效的方式消除本基金的風險 在不利情況下, 本基金或未能運用衍生工具作有效對沖, 並可能須承受重大虧損 此外, 可供本基金運用的人民幣對沖遠期的供應量可能有限並涉及高昂費用, 且有關工具的效果可能會因市況變更而異 Investment in these instruments can be illiquid, if there is no active market in these instruments. Such instruments are complex in nature. Therefore there are risks of mispricing or improper valuation and possibilities that these instruments do not always perfectly track the value of the securities, rates or indices they are designed to track. 若該等工具並無活躍市場, 投資於此等工具可能缺乏流動性 該等工具性質複雜 故存在錯誤定價或不當估值的風險, 此外, 該等投資工具亦可能無法完美追蹤其旨在追蹤的證券價值 費率或指數 Risks associated with distribution out of capital 與從資本中作出分派相關的風險 Distribution may be paid from income and / or capital as determined by the Manager. If there is a change to this policy, prior approval will be sought from the SFC and affected investors will receive at least one month s prior written notification. 股息可按經理人的決定從收入及 / 或資本中支付 倘若此項政策有更改, 將會事先尋求證監會的批准, 而受影響的投資者將會收到最少一個月的事先書面通知 Investors should note that the payment of dividends out of capital represents a return or withdrawal of part of the amount they originally invested or from any capital gains attributable to the original investment. Such distributions may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of the relevant Units of the Fund. 投資者應注意, 從資本中撥付股息即代表投資者從當初投資基金之款項中獲付還或提取部分金額或從原本投資應佔的任何資本收益中獲付還或提取金額 該等分派可能導致本基金相關基金單位的資產淨值即時減少 4
