3 HSBC Investment Funds Trust - HSBC Asian Bond Fund Share Class 31 May 2018 Monthly Performance Commentary Review Asia dollar credit ended the month almost flat, as credit spread widening was largely offset by the decline in US treasury yields. The benchmark 10Y US treasury yields once hit their highest levels since 2011, breaching 3.1% on 17 May amid signs of US economic strength. However, subsequently, US treasuries rallied as demand for safe haven assets heightened with the Italian political turmoil and renewed worries about trade wars. These sent the 10Y US treasury yield down to 2.86% at the end of the month. Separately, the Fed left policy rates on hold in May and reiterated their symmetric inflation target, suggesting that they could tolerate a modest inflation overshoot. Amid risk-off sentiment, primary activities slowed down in May, while floating-rate notes witnessed continued supply, particularly from financial institutions. Despite the decline in US treasury yields, sovereign bonds retreated with Sri Lanka underperforming amid broad emerging market volatility. Within the investment grade space, Indian names witnessed some selling interest with state-owned oil & gas names hit the most on rising oil prices. Chinese SOEs (state owned enterprises) generally held up well while LGFVs (local government financing vehicles) were under pressure. Singaporean and Korean names were in demand on the back of investors preference for high quality credit. Meanwhile, non investment grade names were weighed on by negative headlines on individual Chinese low quality issuers default cases (both onshore and offshore), which triggered a selloff in China industrial names and weak government-related entities. Within the China high yield property sector, cheap pricing of new issues continued to weigh on the secondary market. Comparatively, Indian and Indonesian high yield corporates were relatively stable but still ended with returns in negative territories. Outlook The broad emerging markets seem to have gone through heightened volatility of late with local currencies weakened against the US dollar across the board. Some emerging market central banks decided to hike local rates (rather drastically for some countries) in order to keep their exchange rates stable. This bout of volatility has extended losses for emerging market assets in May. While Asia is often regarded as one of the regions within the broader emerging market universe, it has remained resilient as investors distinguished markets with solid fundamentals from those with weaker fundamentals at times of market uncertainties. With a solid macro backdrop, Asia has been able to navigate the recent emerging market volatility and demonstrate resilience and outperformance. We believe what really drives the performance of Asian credit over the longer term is the region s underlying fundamentals, which have remained sound despite the recent market volatility. Leveraging trend for both investment grade and non-investment grade bonds is also improving. In addition, after the recent market pull-back, investors are now better rewarded for similar levels of risk when compared to the beginning of the year. Valuations have also become more attractive relative other major credit markets, especially for high yield bonds. Resilient structural demand from Asian investors also have a strong role in keeping this asset class relatively stable. As the region continues to grow its economic influence, demand from outside of Asia is also expected to rise over the longer terms, providing further support to Asian credit markets. Portfolio strategy The fund ended the month lower amid continuous market volatility during the month. Our lack of exposure to individual low-quality Chinese corporate bonds added value, as these names were weighed on by negative headlines over the month. In particular, our credit selection within China high yield industrial names contributed. Meanwhile, the underweight position in Sri Lanka sovereign issues also helped as they lagged in the sovereign sector. On the other hand, non- currency exposure continued to detract amid dollar strength. The overall underweight duration in US treasury yields took a toll on the fund s relative performance with the decline in US treasury yields. Overweight in Indian high yield corporate bonds also weighed on the fund s relative returns slightly. In terms of positioning, the fund s key sector positions remain broadly unchanged. It continues to hold an overweight stance in bank subordinated debts given their relatively defensive nature and attractive yields. We have also retained our overweight in the property sector, mainly through overweight in Hong Kong and Chinese property developers. In particular, we favour the large property developers in Hong Kong with stable recurring rental income. We are also overweight the China property sector. We continue to find credit fundamentals of the sector solid on the back of the strong sales growth and improved profitability last year. However, we have been selective and favoured mostly names with attractive yields and short duration amid pressure from heavy supply. Meanwhile, we remain overweight the higher yielding Indian market, favouring corporate and quasi sovereign bonds for their attractive yields. Meanwhile, we trimmed exposure to the Indonesian corporate complex to reflect our cautious view on the rupiah. In particular, we have trimmed exposure to selected names in the Indonesia industrial and utility sectors whose credit profiles are more adversely impacted by the recent weakness in the IDR. Separately, non- exposure was adjusted. We continued to trim the IDR and the while we added to MYR-denominated Malaysia government bonds as the ringgit is expected to be supported by the country s solid macroeconomic fundamentals. Additionally, although we still favour offshore RMB bonds, we took profit amid continued dollar strength in the month. Meanwhile, we remain underweight sovereign bonds as well as Korean quasi sovereign bonds. We are also underweight the China financial sector, particularly asset management companies given our concerns over their growing risk appetite. We have also retained our underweight in the China industrials sector, particularly the lower rated state-owned-enterprises and local government funding vehicles (LGFVs). The fund also maintains a neutral to underweight stance in duration. However, we are managing our duration exposure tactically as we expect the US treasury yields to remain in a range.

The value of the Fund may be more volatile than that of a fund having a more diverse portfolio of investments. 本基金集中投資於亞洲市場 相比具有更多元化投資組合的基金, 本基金的價值可能會較為波動 The value of the Fund may be more susceptible to adverse economic, political, policy, foreign exchange, liquidity, tax, legal or regulatory event affecting the Asian market. 本基金的價值可能較容易受到影響亞洲市場的不利經濟 政治 政策 外匯 流動性 稅務 法律或監管事件的影響 Currency risk 貨幣風險 Because the Fund s assets and liabilities and/or the classes of units may be denominated in currencies different from the base currency, the Fund may be affected unfavourably by exchange control regulations or changes in the exchange rates between the Fund s base currency and other currencies. 由於本基金的資產和負債及 / 或單位類別可能以有別於基本貨幣的貨幣計值, 因此本基金可能因外匯管制法規或本基金的基本貨幣與其他貨幣之間的匯率變化而受到不利影響 Emerging market risk 新興市場風險 Many of the Asian markets are emerging markets. Investing in emerging markets involves a greater risk of loss than investing in more developed markets due to, among other factors, greater political, tax, economic, foreign exchange, liquidity, settlement, custodial, market volatility (such as interest rate and price volatility), legal and regulatory risks. 亞洲市場多為新興市場 相對已發展市場, 投資於新興市場須承受較高損失的風險, 原因是涉及 ( 其中包括 ) 較高的政治 稅務 經濟 外匯 流動性, 結算 託管 市場波動 ( 如利率及價格波動 ) 法律及監管風險 Interest rate risk 利率風險 The Fund s investments in fixed income instruments may fall in value if interest rates change. Generally, the price of fixed income instruments decreases when interest rates rise, whilst their prices increase when interest rates fall. 本基金投資於固定收益工具, 一旦利率變動, 其價值可能會隨之下跌 一般而言, 利率上升時, 固定收益工具的價格會下跌, 而利率下跌時, 其價格則會上升 Credit risk 信貸風險 The Fund s exposure to bonds is subject to the credit risk of the issuers of the bonds.

The prices of securities traded in such markets may be subject to fluctuations. The bid and offer spreads of the price of such securities may be large, so the Fund may incur significant trading costs and may suffer losses accordingly. 本基金投資於亞洲市場的固定收益證券, 可能涉及相比已發展市場較高的波動性及較低的流動性 在該等市場進行交易的證券價格可能出現波動 該等證券的買賣差價可能大, 因此本基金可能產生重大的交易成本, 並可能因而蒙受虧損 Downgrading risk 評級調低風險 Fixed income securities may be subject to the risk of being downgraded (i.e. lowering of credit rating assigned to the securities). In the event of downgrading in the credit ratings of a security or an issuer relating to a security, the Fund s investment value in such security may be adversely affected. The Manager may or may not be able to dispose of the securities that are being downgraded. 固定收益證券可能須承受被調低級別的風險 ( 即證券被給予較低的信貸評級 ) 倘若某證券或有關某證券的發行人之信貸評級被調低, 則本基金於該證券的投資價值可能受到不利影響 經理人不一定能夠出售評級被調低的證券 Non-investment grade and unrated bond risk 非投資級別及未獲評級債券風險 The Fund may invest in fixed income securities that are rated below investment grade or unrated.

Any depreciation of RMB could adversely affect the value of investors investment in the RMB denominated classes of units. 非以人民幣為基礎的投資者須承受外匯風險, 且概不保證人民幣相對投資者的基本貨幣之價值不會貶值 人民幣出現任何貶值可能對投資者於人民幣計值的單位類別的投資價值造成不利影響 Depending on the exchange rate movements of RMB relative to the base currency of the Fund and/or other currency(ies) of the non-rmbdenominated underlying investments, an investor (i) may still suffer losses even if there are gains or no losses in the value of the non-rmbdenominated underlying investments; or (ii) may suffer additional losses if the non-rmb-denominated underlying investments of the Fund fall in value. 視乎人民幣相對於本基金的基本貨幣及 或非人民幣計值相關投資的其他貨幣的匯率走勢而定: (i) 即使非人民幣計值的相關投資在價值上錄得收益或並無虧損, 投資者仍可能蒙受損失 ; 或 (ii) 倘若本基金的非人民幣計值相關投資的價值下跌, 投資者可能蒙受額外損失 Currency conversion is also subject to the Fund s ability to convert the proceeds into RMB which may also affect the Fund s ability to meet redemption requests from unitholders in RMB denominated classes of units or to make distributions, and may delay the payment of redemption proceeds or dividends. As RMB is not freely convertible and is subject to exchange controls and restrictions, currency conversion is subject to availability of RMB at the relevant time. The Fund may not have sufficient RMB for its investments. 貨幣兌換亦須受制於本基金將款項兌換為人民幣的能力, 而這可能影響本基金應付人民幣計值單位類別的單位持有人的贖回要求或作出分派的能力, 以及可能延遲支付贖回款項或股息 由於人民幣不可自由兌換, 並須受外匯管制及限制之規限, 故貨幣兌換亦須受人民幣在相關時間內的供應量所限 本基金可能沒有足夠的人民幣供其投資 When calculating the net asset value of units of a RMB denominated class, the Manager will apply the exchange rate for offshore RMB market in Hong Kong, i.e. the CNH exchange rate, which may be at a premium or discount to the exchange rate for onshore RMB market in the mainland China, i.e. the CNY exchange rate. Consequently, there may be significant trading costs incurred and investors investing in classes of units denominated in RMB may suffer losses. Although CNH and CNY represent the same currency, they do not necessarily have the same exchange rate and their movement may not be in the same direction. Any divergence between CNH and CNY may adversely impact investors. 當計算以人民幣計值類別單位的資產淨值時, 經理人將採用香港離岸人民幣市場的匯率 ( 即 CNH 匯率 ), 該匯率可能較中國內地人民幣市場的匯率 ( 即 CNY 匯率 ) 有所溢價或折讓 因此, 這可能產生重大交易成本, 而投資於以人民幣計值單位類別的投資者可能蒙受損失 雖然 CNH 及 CNY 均為相同貨幣, 但其不一定具有相同的匯率, 其走勢也不一定呈現相同方向 CNH 與 CNY 間有任何偏差, 可能對投資者構成不利影響 Risks relating to hedging and the currency hedged classes 有關對沖及貨幣對沖類別的風險 The Fund is permitted to use hedging techniques to attempt to offset market and currency risks, including hedging the currencies in which the underlying assets of the Fund are denominated against the Fund s base currency or the currency of the assets that the Fund primarily invested in. The costs of hedging transactions which are conducted at the Fund level and hedging at the Fund level will preclude investors from benefitting from appreciation of the non- currencies (in which the underlying investments of the Fund may be denominated) against the base currency of the Fund. In respect of currency hedged classes, it aims to hedge (i) the base currency of the Fund or (ii) the currency of the assets in which the Fund primarily invests back to the currency of denomination of the currency hedged classes. There is no guarantee that the desired hedging instruments will be available or hedging techniques will achieve their desired result. There can be no assurance that any currency hedging strategy will fully and effectively eliminate the currency exposure of the Fund. 本基金獲准運用對沖技巧嘗試抵銷市場及貨幣風險, 包括將本基金相關資產計值貨幣與本基金的基本貨幣或本基金主要投資的資產的計值貨幣對沖 於本基金層面進行的對沖交易的成本及於本基金層面進行的對沖將會阻礙投資者從非美元貨幣 ( 本基金的相關投資可能以該貨幣計值 ) 相對本基金的基本貨幣之升值中受惠 就貨幣對沖類別而言, 本基金旨在將 (i) 本基金的基本貨幣或 (ii) 本基金主要投資的資產的計值貨幣與貨幣對沖類別的計值貨幣對沖 概不保證能夠獲得預期的對沖工具或對沖技巧將達致預期效果 概不保證任何貨幣對沖策略將可全面及有效地消除本基金的貨幣風險 Investment in currency hedged classes which do not hedge underlying portfolio currency exposures back to the investor s own currency may result in the investor taking speculative currency positions which may be volatile and may have a material impact on investors returns. 投資於並不將其相關投資組合的貨幣風險與投資者本身貨幣之貨幣對沖的貨幣對沖類別, 可能導致投資者持有投機性貨幣倉盤, 此等倉盤可能波動, 並可能對投資者的回報產生重大影響 4

Any costs and expenses arising from such hedging transactions, which may be significant depending on prevailing market conditions, will be borne by the relevant classes. This may adversely affect the returns of investors of such classes. 對沖交易的成本將反映於相關類別的資產淨值 從該等對沖交易產生的任何成本及開支視乎當時的市況而定, 可能金額重大, 將會由相關類別承擔 此可能對該等類別的投資者所得之回報產生不利影響 The distribution amount and the net asset value of the currency hedged classes may be adversely affected by differences in the interest rates of the class currency of the currency hedged classes and the Fund s base currency, resulting in an increase in the amount of distribution that is paid out of capital and hence a greater erosion of capital than other non-hedged classes. 貨幣對沖類別的分派金額及資產淨值可能受到貨幣對沖類別的類別貨幣的利率與本基金的基本貨幣的利率有所差異的不利影響, 導致從資本撥付的分派金額增加, 進而令資本被侵蝕的程度高於其他非對沖類別 Derivative instrument risk 衍生工具風險 The Fund may use financial derivative instruments such as futures, forwards, swaps and other financial derivative instruments which may involve embedded leverage, for investment purpose. 本基金可投資於金融衍生工具作投資用途, 如期貨 遠期 掉期及其他金融衍生工具, 而該等產品可能含有槓桿效應 Risks associated with financial derivative instruments include counterparty/credit risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, volatility risk and over-the-counter transaction risk. The leverage element/component of a financial derivative instrument can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the financial derivative instrument by the Fund. Exposure to financial derivative instruments may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the Fund. 與金融衍生工具相關的風險包括對手方 / 信貸風險 流動性風險 估值風險 波動性風險及場外交易風險 金融衍生工具包含的槓桿元素 / 部分或會導致本基金產生大為高於金融衍生工具投資金額之損失 投資於金融衍生工具可能導致本基金承受產生重大虧損的高風險 Early termination risk 提早結束風險 The Fund may be liquidated on the occurrence of certain events specified in the offering document. Upon liquidation, all the assets of the Fund will be realized and the net proceeds thereof which are available for distribution will be distributed to its holders in proportion to their holdings. Investors should note that the amount distributed to them may be less than the amount of their initial investment. 如出現在銷售文件中所述的某些情況, 本基金可能會被終止 當本基金被終止, 所有本基金的資產會被出售及會按持有人持有本基金的比例就可供分派的淨收入作出分派 投資者須注意獲分派的金額或會少於最初投資額 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 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 relevant units of the Fund. 投資者應注意, 從資本中或實際上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單位的資產淨值即時減少 5
