Strategy in brief ›› Performance momentum - The HSBC Vantage5 Index uses a rules-based methodology to capture performance and maximize risk-adjusted returns. Each month, the Index composition is made up of a portfolio of investment constituents based on both 3 month and 6 month historical returns to capture both long and short term market momentum. The Index also incorporates an index maintenance fee of 0.85% per annum, subtracted daily. ›› Target 5% - The Index methodology determines allocations from a basket of 13 ETFs and Cash to achieve a volatility target of 5%. The Index limits exposure to predefined levels on both the ETFs and the Asset Classes to avoid an over concentration in any single asset. ›› Equity universe - The HSBC Vantage5 Index utilizes equity ETF underlyings such as PowerShares QQQ and PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV) to potentially enhance equity returns. ›› Higher equity allocation - The HSBC Vantage5 Index provides a greater maximum allocation to developed and emerging market equities (up to 80%) compared to some other target volatility strategies. This may increase the potential for equity out-performance. ›› No intra-month volatility cap - The HSBC Vantage5 Index does not impose an intra-month cap on volatility which enables the Index to remain fully invested in the selected portfolio of ETFs for the duration of the month.

You should note that the index constituents have not traded together in the manner shown in the composite hypothetical historical results included in this document. No representation is being made that the indices will achieve a performance record similar to that shown. In fact, there may often be sharp dierences between hypothetical performance and actual performance. Back-testing and other statistical analysis material provided to you in connection with the explanations of the potential returns associated with an investment in the Index use simulated analysis and hypothetical assumptions in order to illustrate the manner in which the Index may have performed in periods prior to the actual existence of the Index. The hypothetical Index annualized volatility levels have inherent limitations. Alternative modelling techniques or assumptions may produce dierent hypothetical information that might prove to be more appropriate and that might dier significantly from the hypothetical information set forth above. Actual annualized volatilities may vary materially from the information shown. The results obtained from “back-testing” information should not be considered indicative of actual results that might be obtained from an investment or participation in a financial instrument or transaction referencing the Index. You should not place undue reliance on the “back-testing” information, which is provided for illustrative purposes only. HSBC provides no assurance or guarantee that the Index will operate or would have operated in the past in a manner consistent with the results presented in these materials. Hypothetical back-tested results are neither an indicator nor a guarantee of future returns. Actual results will vary, perhaps materially, from the analysis implied in the hypothetical information.
