Chairman’s Message

Dear Shareholder:

In a period of market volatility, mutual funds offer a “hedge” against extremes. Since the purpose of mutual funds is to provide a balance of investments and since fund advisers monitor performance of individual holdings in a portfolio, investors are generally protected against extremes. Over the long run, mutual funds have continued to be a wise investment.

The HSBC Investor Funds have performed in accordance with the swings of the equities and fixed income markets. Many of the HSBC Investor Funds have outperformed their industry benchmarks, most have equaled the benchmark and a few underperformed. Management and the board monitor performance continuously. While any Fund can underperform for a limited period of time, Funds that continue to underperform are put on a watch list, and if a downtrend continues, the board and management will re-evaluate the subadviser relationship.

With over 12 trillion dollars invested, mutual funds remain one of the best ways to sustain both value and growth of a portfolio. The diversity of the HSBC Fund Family provides a useful way to ride the wave of volatility. Please consult your financial adviser to determine the best mix of funds for your individual needs. We encourage you to be active in overseeing your own investments and welcome your comments about how we can provide the best service to you.

Thanks,

Larry M. Robbins, Chairman, HSBC Investor Funds

Commentary From the Investment Manager

HSBC Investments (USA) Inc.
Effective June 2, 2008, changed name to HSBC Global Asset Management (USA) Inc.

Economic review

Several factors weighed on the U.S. economy during the six-month period between November 1, 2007 and April 30, 2008. The ongoing decline in the housing market depressed activity in industries related both directly and indirectly to the housing market, including homebuilders, home improvement retailers and furniture makers. The housing slump also made it more difficult for consumers to borrow against their home equity. That development weakened consumer spending, even as rising prices on food and energy and a flagging employment picture caused Americans to cut back. Consumer spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Therefore, the consumer slowdown posed a significant threat to economic growth.

The housing slump also contributed to rising defaults on subprime mortgages. Higher subprime mortgage defaults led to losses for securities backed by these low-quality home loans, which had become widely dispersed throughout the global financial system in recent years. Losses in subprime mortgage-backed securities forced a number of financial firms to write-down the value of their holdings by billions of dollars. Moreover, market participants became concerned about the possible extent of problems related to weak mortgages. Lenders, concerned that they could not accurately gauge prospective borrowers’ financial health, became extremely cautious about extending credit, resulting in a severe credit crunch that depressed economic growth.

The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) acted aggressively as it attempted to ameliorate the credit situation and stimulate the economy. The Fed reduced the federal funds rate, its target short-term interest rate, from 4.50% to 2.00% during the six month period ended April 30, 2008 in order to inject liquidity into the financial markets. It also orchestrated a buyout of troubled securities firm Bear Stearns, to prevent problems at the company from undermining the broad financial system. The Fed also sought to improve financial institutions’ access to credit by accepting a wider variety of assets as collateral.

Exports helped the U.S. economy continue to expand despite the difficult environment during the early months of 2008. A weakening dollar made U.S. companies’ products and services more competitive overseas, while increasing the value of revenues earned in foreign currencies. The U.S. Gross Domestic Product¹ grew at annualized rates of 0.6% during the fourth quarter of 2007 and 0.9% during the first quarter of 2008.

The U.S. economy’s struggles led to signs of a global slowdown. Growth in Europe appeared to weaken, and evidence emerged that developing economies, which have generated powerful growth in recent years, were beginning to feel the effects of America’s problems as well. For example, China’s year-over-year exports grew 22.5% in December 2007, but just 6.5% in February 2008. Nevertheless, the global economy remained healthy and continued to expand more quickly than the U.S. economy during this period.

Market review

Investors during most of this six-month period responded to the uncertain economic environment by fleeing from the perceived risk of stocks and into the perceived safety of high-quality bonds. U.S. stock returns were exceptionally volatile during this time, as the lack of clarity about the direction of the economy; the subprime crisis and the credit crunch caused traders to react aggressively in response to emerging data. The U.S. market recovered somewhat between mid-March and the end of April, as investors anticipating improving economic and market conditions sought to capitalize on low valuations. For the six month period ended April 30, 2008, the S&P 500 returned -9.63%, while the small-cap sector as represented by the Russell 2000^® Index returned -12.92%.

Financial stocks suffered some of the U.S. market’s greatest declines, as shareholders sold financial stocks due to concerns about large write-downs and the potential for further damage from the subprime mortgage crisis. Stocks in the financial sector rebounded modestly toward the end of the period, as bargain-hunting investors began to believe that the market had priced in the worst of the subprime crisis.

Consumer discretionary stocks also performed poorly during this period, as investors worried that high food and energy prices and a weaker employment picture would reduce the money individuals had available to spend on non-essential items. Conversely, energy and materials stocks benefited from rising commodity prices, and posted some of the market’s strongest returns during this period.

Foreign stocks generally posted losses, with the MSCI EAFE Index of developed foreign stock markets returning -8.99% during the period under review. Investors sold foreign stocks due to a general aversion to risk and because of concerns about the repercussions from the turmoil in the credit markets. Emerging markets in Asia, which had performed exceptionally well in recent years, particularly struggled as investors sold assets they perceived to be risky. Developing markets in other parts of the world meanwhile held up relatively well, as they benefited from rising commodity prices.

Investors concerned about risk piled into bonds issued by the U.S. Treasury and foreign governments. Yields declined and prices rose on government bonds, causing the spread between the yield on government securities and corporate bonds to widen substantially. High-yield bonds—debt issued by companies with relatively weak finances—trailed other sectors of the fixed-income market, as investors favored the greater stability of higher-quality bonds. The Lehman Brothers U.S. Aggregate Index, which tracks the broad fixed-income market, returned 4.08% for the six months through April 30, 2008.

Investment Concerns

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk, than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of the Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Common stocks, and funds investing in common stocks, generally provide greater return potential when compared with other types of investments.

Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value.

Small capitalization funds typically carry additional risks, since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure and historically have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than average. There are risks associated with investing in a fund that invests in securities of foreign countries, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instabilities and fluctuations in currency exchanges.

There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency and exchange rates

The mortgage market in the U.S. recently experienced difficulties that may adversely affect the performance and market value of certain mortgage-related investments.

Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.

An investment in money market funds is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00.

The HSBC Investor Funds feature a number of funds that are structured as ‘‘master/feeder’’ funds. Under this two-tier structure, one fund (the “feeder fund’’) invests all of its investable assets in a second fund (the ‘‘master fund’’). The LifeLine Funds, through this master/feeder structure, provide an asset allocation option to investors who seek to diversify their investment across a variety of asset classes. Each LifeLine Fund provides an asset allocation option corresponding to different investment objectives and risk tolerances. Each LifeLine Fund is a feeder fund. However, unlike most feeder funds, a LifeLine Fund will not direct all of its assets to a single master fund. Instead, the LifeLine Fund will allocate its assets to different master funds in accordance with its asset allocation model. HSBC Investments (USA) Inc. (the ‘‘Adviser’’), according to specific target allocations, invested each LifeLine Fund’s assets in some or all of the following master funds (‘‘underlying Portfolios’’):

HSBC Investor Growth Portfolio (‘‘Growth Portfolio’’); HSBC Investor Value Portfolio (‘‘Value Portfolio’’); HSBC Investor Opportunity Portfolio (‘‘Opportunity Portfolio’’); HSBC Investor International Equity Portfolio (‘‘International Equity Portfolio’’); HSBC Investor Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio (‘‘Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio’’); HSBC Investor High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio (High Yield Fixed Income Fund); HSBC Investor Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio (‘‘Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio’’); and the HSBC Investor Money Market Fund (‘‘Money Market Fund’’).

HSBC Investor Money Market Fund	Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s has assigned an “Aaa” and “AAAm” rating to the HSBC Investor Money Market Fund.1
by John Chiodi Senior Portfolio Manager

The HSBC Investor Money Market Fund seeks to provide, shareholders of the Fund, with liquidity and as high a level of current income as is consistent with the preservation of capitol.

Investment Concerns

An investment in the fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the fund seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund.

The money markets experienced a turbulent environment during the six-month period under review, as rising defaults on subprime mortgages brought on a credit and liquidity crisis. The Federal Reserve Board (the “Fed”) attempted to address the financial system’s problems by lowering its target short-term interest rate from 4.50% to 2.00% between November 2007 and April 2008, causing yields on money market securities to decline.

We sought to protect shareholders’ principal in this uncertain environment. In particular, we held securities with relatively short maturities throughout the period—sacrificing a bit of yield in exchange for greater liquidity. In typical Fed easing cycles, we often extend the Fund’s maturity to lock in higher yields; but we felt that the turbulence in the money markets during this time called for a more cautious approach. We did seek strategic opportunities to capture higher yields on longer-term securities as the markets settled somewhat late in the period.*

We also looked to safeguard shareholder assets by holding relatively small positions in asset-backed commercial paper. Again, this strategy reduced the Fund’s yield, but provided greater security as the credit and liquidity crisis roiled the money markets.*

HSBC Investor Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio

by Halbis Capital Management (USA) Inc., U.S. Core Fixed Income Team

The HSBC Investor Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to maximize total return, consistent with reasonable risk. The Fund employs Halbis Capital Management (USA) Inc. as subadviser to the Portfolio.

Investment Concerns

Bonds offer a relatively stable level of income, although bond prices will fluctuate providing the potential for principal gain or loss. Intermediate-term, higher-quality bonds generally offer less risk than longer-term bonds and a lower rate of return.

Market Commentary

The Portfolio held an overweight position in all non-Treasury sectors other than mortgage pass-through and government agency bonds. In particular, we held significantly overweight allocations to corporate bonds and collateralized mortgage-backed securities, which began the period offering historically attractive yields relative to Treasury issues. Our strategy of emphasizing various types of “spread” bonds—bonds that offer higher yields than Treasuries—is designed to provide shareholders with greater income over time. Treasuries led the fixed-income markets by a wide margin during this period, however, ultimately the Portfolio’s emphasis on other sectors weighed on relative returns.

Security selection also reduced the Portfolio’s relative performance during the period under review. Selection among asset-backed securities decreased returns against the benchmark, as certain bonds suffered from concerns about the financial health of companies that insured them. The Fund’s corporate bond allocation meanwhile had a somewhat lower credit quality than that of the index, including select below-investment-grade bonds, as we pursued attractive yields. That positioning weighed on relative performance, as investors sold lower-quality bonds indiscriminately.*

HSBC Investor High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio

by Halbis Capital Management (USA) Inc., High Yield Team

The HSBC Investor High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide a high level of current income and capital appreciation. HSBC Investments (USA) Inc. serves as investment adviser to the Fund. The HSBC High Yield Team provides the day to day management of the portfolio. The Team’s philosophy is focused on delivering sustainable value added performance in the high yield fixed income market. The investment approach is a combination of top-down sector/ industry selection and bottom-up security/quality selection. The team rotates sectors and themes within the high yield universe during different market environments seeking to add value, endeavoring to take advantage of market inefficiencies in order to outperform in both up and down markets. Halbis Capital Management (USA) Inc. is the subadviser to the Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio.

Investment Concerns

Bond funds will tend to experience smaller fluctuations in value than stock funds. However, investors in any bond fund should anticipate fluctuations in price, especially for longer-term issues and in environments of rising interest rates. High yield bonds are subject to greater risks than investment grade bonds, such as the increased risk of default because of the lower credit quality of the issues.

Market Commentary

High-yield bond performance was volatile during the period under review, as investors tried to gauge the likely repercussions of the economic slowdown and the credit crunch. The Fund generated gains during three of the six months in this period ended April 30, 2008, and posted losses during the other three months.

The Fund held an overweight allocation to the energy sector. The relatively large position in energy lifted returns against the benchmark, as energy companies benefited from surging oil and gas prices. We also held underweight positions in the homebuilding and building products industries. Bonds issued by companies in those industries generally performed poorly due to the ongoing slump in the housing market, so the Fund’s smaller-than-benchmark stakes helped its performance against the index.*

A relatively large position in bonds of gaming companies hurt the Fund’s relative return. Consumers facing higher food and energy prices cut back on discretionary entertainment, thereby depressing revenues at these firms and causing their bonds to trade lower. The Fund held a smaller stake than the benchmark in bonds rated BBB, the lowest tier of the investment-grade bond universe, which also weighed on relative performance. BBB-rated bonds posted the benchmark’s strongest returns for the six month period as a whole, despite intermittent strength from lower-quality bonds.*

Daniel P. Becker, Senior Vice President/Portfolio Manager, CFA

Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company

The HSBC Investor Growth Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in U.S. and foreign equity securities of high quality companies with market capitalization generally in excess of $2 billion, which the sub-adviser believes have the potential to generate superior levels of long-term profitability and growth. Effective May 12, 2008, Winslow Capital Management, Inc. replaced Waddell & Reed Investment Management Company (Waddell & Reed) as the sub-adviser.

Investment Concerns

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Market Commentary

The subprime mortgage crisis evolved into a credit and liquidity crisis during this period. Those developments had a substantially adverse impact on stocks of all sizes, both the U.S. and foreign markets.

The Fund benefited from strong stock selection relative to its benchmark. Security selection added to relative returns in four of the eight economic sectors in which the Fund invested during the period. In particular, certain holdings in the materials and energy sectors boosted the Fund and helped to outperform its benchmark. Overweight positions in the health care and industrials sectors also helped relative performance.*

The Fund’s positions in the information technology, consumer discretionary and financial sectors detracted from relative performance over the period, largely due to stock selection. Growth-oriented technology stocks generally were weak during the period, likely due to a faltering economy and cutbacks in technology spending. Consumer discretionary holdings were hurt by investors’ concerns that high-energy costs, a plunging housing market and a weakening employment picture would undermine consumer spending. Financial stocks suffered due to investors’ worries about the possible extent of the subprime mortgage crisis.*

The HSBC Investor International Equity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks to provide their shareholders with long-term growth of capital and future income by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies organized and domiciled in developed nations outside the United States or for which the principal trading market is outside the United States, including Europe, Canada, Australia and the Far East. The Portfolio may invest up to 20% of its assets in equity securities of companies in emerging markets. The Portfolio employs AllianceBernstein L.P. (“AllianceBernstein”), a unit of AllianceBernstein Investment Research and Management as subadviser.

The Portfolio invests primarily in equity securities of companies organized and domiciled in developed nations outside the U.S., or for which the principal trading market is outside the U.S., including Europe, Canada, Australia and the Far East.

Investment Concerns

There are risks associated with investing in foreign companies, such as erratic market conditions, economic and political instability and fluctuations in currency and exchange rates.

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Market Commentary

Investor worries about slowing global economic growth and further repercussions from the subprime mortgage crisis dominated financial markets during the period, contributing to the Fund’s negative performance. In addition, record oil prices weighed on investor sentiment. Central banks adopted more accommodative monetary policies, lowering interest rates and pumping money into the banking system. Global stocks fell sharply near the end of the period, as a major U.S. investment- banking firm neared bankruptcy.

The Fund’s sector selection enhanced relative returns, due primarily to overweight positions in shares of industrial commodities and energy firms. Security selection in the technology and utilities sectors also added to relative returns.*

Security selection hurt the Fund’s relative performance. Selection of stocks in the capital equipment and industrial commodities sectors particularly weighed on returns relative to the index. Key detractors from performance included shares of a large U.K. mortgage lender, which declined amid investor perceptions of deteriorating conditions in the country’s housing market. Meanwhile, stocks of French capital equipment companies in the Fund’s portfolio were hurt by weakening consumer confidence and rising raw materials costs.*

HSBC Investor Opportunity Portfolio
by William A. Muggia
President–Chief Investment Officer
Westfield Capital Management, LLC

The HSBC Investor Opportunity Fund (“the Fund”) seeks to provide its shareholders with long-term growth of capital investing in equity securities of small cap companies. The Portfolio may also invest in bonds, notes, commercial paper, U.S. Government securities, and foreign securities. Small cap companies generally are defined as those that have market capitalizations within the range of market capitalizations represented in the Russell 2500™ Growth Index. The Portfolio may also invest in equity securities of larger, more established companies if they are expected to show increased earnings. The Funds employ a two-tier structure, commonly referred to as “master-feeder.” The Funds invest all of their investable assets in the HSBC Investor Opportunity Portfolio (the “Portfolio”). The Portfolio employs Westfield Capital Management, LLC as subadviser.

The Portfolio invests primarily in common stocks of small and medium-sized companies that may have the potential to become major enterprises.

Investment Concerns

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Small-capitalization funds typically carry additional risks since smaller companies generally have a higher risk of failure, and historically, their stocks have experienced a greater degree of market volatility than stocks on average.

Market Commentary

Myriad macroeconomic ills plagued U.S. investors during the period. A downturn in the U.S. economy, increasing inflationary pressures and continuing tumult in the banking system weighed on the financial markets. Despite an unprecedented campaign of fiscal and monetary measures designed to alleviate the economy’s various troubles, U.S. equities posted double-digit losses across multiple economic sectors. Energy was the only economic sector to end of the six-month period in the positive territory in both the small- and mid-cap universes.

The Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark was driven in large part by healthcare, energy, and technology shares. In particular, the performance of the Fund’s health care allocation benefited from positive stock selection within pharmaceuticals, health care equipment and biotechnology. Rising crude oil prices boosted energy stocks, helping them advance to record-high levels during the first months of 2008. An overweight position in the energy sector enhanced relative results, as did selection of certain domestic natural gas and equipment and services stocks. Selection among information technology stocks boosted relative performance, in part because the Fund’s valuation discipline helped it to avoid holding some of the stocks that posted the sector’s weakest returns.*

The biggest drag on relative performance came from financials. While we believe the portfolios limited exposure to this troubled sector should have been a source of good performance, weakness in certain positions hampered the aggregate results of the Fund’s financial-sector allocation. Industrials also restrained the Fund’s results. Declines among shares of trading companies and distributors particularly weighed on returns.*

NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC

The HSBC Investor Value Portfolio (the “Portfolio”) seeks long-term growth of capital and income by investing primarily in U.S. and foreign companies with large and medium capitalizations that the sub-adviser believes possess opportunities underappreciated or misperceived by the market. The Portfolio employs NWQ Investment Management Company, LLC (“NWQ”) as the subadviser.

Investment Concerns

Value-based investments are subject to the risk that the broad market may not recognize their intrinsic value.

Equity securities (stocks) are more volatile and carry more risk than other forms of investments, including investments in high-grade fixed income securities. The net asset value per share of this Fund will fluctuate as the value of the securities in the portfolio changes.

Market Commentary

Equity markets declined, both in the United States and worldwide, due to concerns about the outlook for the global economy and the unprecedented deterioration in the credit markets. Value stocks generally outperformed growth stocks, while U.S. equity markets demonstrated tremendous volatility. Stock prices appreciated materially near the end of the period—particularly among financial stocks—following the Federal Reserve’s aggressive actions to lower key interest rates.

The Fund’s absolute return was enhanced by strong performance from energy shares. Energy stocks performed well due to appreciation in oil prices and increasing production profiles. Select stocks in the steel and transportation industries also contributed to the Fund’s absolute return. The Fund’s exposure to the financial sector negatively influenced performance, as uncertainty about the extent of the problems related to the subprime mortgage crisis adversely affected stock prices within the sector.*

Although the Fund’s underweight position in the lagging financial sector helped performance relative to the index, selection among financial stocks caused the Fund’s allocation to that sector to weigh on relative returns. All but one of the Fund’s financial holdings declined in value during the period. An overweight position in the technology sector also hurt performance against the index, as technology shares were weighed down by concerns that continued economic weakness could lead to reduced corporate and consumer technology spending.*

Notes to Financial Statements—As of April 30, 2008 (Unaudited) (continued)

	The HSBC Investor Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio, HSBC Investor High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio, HSBC Investor Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio, HSBC Investor Growth Portfolio, HSBC Investor International Equity Portfolio, HSBC Investor Opportunity Portfolio and the HSBC Investor Value Portfolio (individually a “Portfolio,” collectively the “Portfolios”) are each a diversified series of the HSBC Investor Portfolios (the “Portfolio Trust”). The Portfolios operate as master funds in master-feeder arrangements.
	The HSBC Investor Money Market Fund (the “Money Market Fund”) is an open-end management investment company and, like each LifeLine Fund, is a diversified series of the Trust.
	The financial statements of the Portfolios, including the Schedules of Portfolio Investments, are included elsewhere in this report. The financial statements of the Portfolios should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the LifeLine Funds.
	The LifeLine Funds are authorized to issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest with a par value of $0.001 per share. Each Fund offers four classes of shares: Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares, and Class R Shares (currently not operational with assets). Class A Shares of the Aggressive Growth Fund, Growth Strategy Fund, Moderate Growth Fund, and the Conservative Growth Fund have a maximum sales charge of 5.00% as a percentage of the original purchase price. The Class B Shares of the LifeLine Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (“CDSC”) ranging from a maximum of 4.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase to 0.00% if redeemed more than four years after purchase. Class C Shares of the LifeLine Funds are offered without any front-end sales charge but will be subject to a maximum CDSC of 1.00% if redeemed less than one year after purchase. No sales charges are assessed with respect to Class R Shares of the Funds. Each class of shares in the LifeLine Funds has identical rights and privileges except with respect to arrangements pertaining to shareholder servicing or distribution, class-related expenses, voting rights on matters affecting a single class of shares, and the exchange privileges of each class of shares.
	Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the LifeLine Funds’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the LifeLine Funds. In addition, in the normal course of business, the LifeLine Funds enter into contracts with its service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the LifeLine Funds. The LifeLine Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve any future claims that may be made against the LifeLine Funds. However, based on experience, the LifeLine Funds expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2.	Significant Accounting Policies:
	The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the LifeLine Funds in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Securities Valuation:
	The LifeLine Funds record their investments in the Underlying Portfolios at fair value. The LifeLine Funds record their investments in the Money Market Fund at the respective net asset value reported by the fund. The underlying securities of the Portfolios and the Money Market Fund are recorded at fair value and at amortized cost, respectively, as more fully discussed in the notes to those financial statements.
	Investment Transactions and Related Income:
	The LifeLine Funds record daily their pro-rata income, expenses and unrealized/realized gains and losses derived from their respective Portfolio. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date for the Money Market Fund. Changes in holdings of the Money Market Fund for each LifeLine Fund are reflected no later than the first business day following trade date. However, for financial reporting purposes, changes in holdings of the Money Market Fund are reflected as of trade date. In addition, the LifeLine Funds accrue their own expenses daily as incurred.

Allocations:

          Expenses directly attributable to a Fund are charged to that Fund. Expenses not directly attributable to a Fund are allocated proportionately among various or all LifeLine Funds within the HSBC Investor Family of Funds in relation to the net assets of each Fund or on another reasonable basis. Class specific expenses are charged directly to the class incurring the expense. In addition, income, expenses (other than class specific expenses), and unrealized/realized gains and losses are allocated to each class based on relative net assets on a daily basis.

Dividends to Shareholders:

          Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and distributed quarterly in the case of the Moderate Growth Fund and Conservative Growth Fund, and annually in the case of the Aggressive Growth Fund and Growth Strategy Fund.

          The LifeLine Funds’ net realized gains, if any, are distributed to shareholders at least annually. Additional distributions are also made to the LifeLine Funds’ shareholders to the extent necessary to avoid the federal excise tax on certain undistributed income and net capital gains of regulated investment companies.

          The amount and character of net investment income and net realized gains distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature (e.g., reclassification of market discounts, certain gain/loss, paydowns, and certain distributions), such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets; temporary differences (e.g., wash losses and post-october loss deferrals) do not require reclassification. The LifeLine Funds may utilize equalization accounting for tax purposes and designate earnings and profits, including net realized gains distributed to shareholders on redemption of shares, as a part of the dividends paid deduction for income tax purposes.

Redemption Fee:

          A redemption fee of 2.00% will be charged and recorded as paid-in-capital for any shares redeemed or exchanged after holding them for less than 30 days. This fee does not apply to shares purchased through reinvested dividends or capital gains or shares held in certain omnibus accounts or retirement plans that cannot implement the fee. For the fiscal year and period ended October 31, 2007 and April 30, 2008, respectively, the following LifeLine Funds collected redemption fees as follows:

Fund	October 31, 2007 Fees Collected			April 30, 2008 Fees Collected
Aggressive Growth Fund		$	1,573		$	6
Growth Strategy Fund			729			48
Moderate Growth Fund			515			1,844
Conservative Growth Fund			1,305			5

Federal Income Taxes:

          Each Fund is a separate taxable entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund has qualified and intends to continue to qualify each year as a “regulated investment company” under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and to distribute substantially all of their taxable net investment income and net realized gains, if any, to their shareholders. Accordingly, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required.

          In addition, effective April 30, 2008, the Trusts’ adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Trust’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Implementation of FIN 48 included a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact the Funds’ net assets or results of operations.

	New Accounting Pronouncements:
	In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
	In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Lifeline Funds financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

(1)	Total dividends paid may differ from the amount reported in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets because dividends are recognized when actually paid for tax purposes.
(2)	The differences between book-basis and tax-basis unrealized appreciation/deprecation are attributable primarily to: tax deferral of losses on wash sales, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on certain derivative instruments, the difference between book and tax amortization methods for premium and market discount, the realization for tax purposes of unrealized gains/losses on investments in passive foreign investment companies, and the return of capital adjustments from real estate investment trusts.
The tax character of current year distributions paid and the tax basis of the current components of accumulated earnings and any net capital loss carry-forwards will be determined at the end of the current tax year ending October 31, 2008.

Investment Adviser Contract Approval—April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

The Independent Trustees of the HSBC Investor Funds Trust, HSBC Advisor Funds Trust and HSBC Investor Portfolios (collectively, the “Trusts”), and the non-interested Trustees, voting separately, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Contracts and, where applicable Sub-Advisory Contracts, with respect to the respective series of the Trusts then existing (collectively, the “Existing Funds”) at an in-person meeting held on December 10, 2007. Also, at an in-person meeting held on April 1, 2008, The Independent Trustees reviewed and approved a new Investment Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract with respect to the HSBC Investor Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) (the Existing Funds and Growth Fund are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and the Investment Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts are collectively referred to as the “Agreements”).
In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Agreements for the Funds, The Independent Trustees requested information from the Adviser and the various Sub-Advisers that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. In an Executive Session, the Independent Trustees carefully evaluated this information, and were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to their deliberations. Based on its review of the information requested and provided for each Fund, The Independent Trustees determined that the relevant Agreements were consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and enable the Funds to receive high quality services at a cost that is appropriate and reasonable. The Independent Trustees made these determinations on the basis of the following considerations, among others:
	Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees considered the nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser (and, as applicable, the Sub-Advisers), in light of the high quality services provided to the Funds, and each Fund’s historic performance. The Independent Trustees considered the historical performance and the commitment of the Adviser to the successful operations of the Funds including the level of expenses of the Funds, and each Fund’s historic performance. The Independent Trustees considered the historical performance and commitment of the Adviser to the successful operations of the Funds including the level of expenses of the Funds. With respect to the Equity Funds, The Independent Trustees considered the capabilities and performance of the Adviser’s Multimanager unit. The Independent Trustees also considered the use of expense limitation agreements in order to reduce the overall operating expenses of certain funds. The Independent Trustees also took note of the long term relationship between the Adviser and the Funds and the efforts undertaken by the Adviser to foster the growth and development of the Funds since the inception of each of the Funds. For the Fixed Income Funds, The Independent Trustees also considered the historical performance and experience of the management team in managing other accounts, and the reasonable expectation of achieving competitive performance for these Funds. The Independent Trustees also considered the extent to which the investment advisers had achieved economies of scale and the extent to which shareholders participated in those economies of scale.
	Investment Performance of the Funds, Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees considered short-term and long-term investment performance of each Fund over various periods of time as compared to a peer group of comparable funds. The Independent Trustees members took note of performance information for the one, three and five year periods and since inception as relevant. In addition The Independent Trustees compared expenses of each Fund to the expenses of its peers, noting that the expenses for each of the Funds compare favorably with industry averages for other funds of similar size.
	Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s overall profitability and costs and an analysis of the estimated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered that the advisory fees under the Agreements were within the range of those of similar funds, noting the high level of resource, expertise and experience that was provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees concluded that the combined advisory fees payable to the Adviser and each of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers are fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided, the anticipated costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund, and the comparability of the advisory fee to similar fees paid by comparable mutual funds.
	Other Relevant Considerations. The Independent Trustees also considered the overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies, and performance of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees also noted the range of investment advisory and administrative services provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the level and quality of these services, in particular the quality of the personnel providing these services. In addition, The Independent Trustees considered the overall favorable investment performance of the Funds.
Accordingly, in light of the above considerations and such other factors and information it considered relevant, The Independent Trustees by a unanimous vote of those present in person at the meetings (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees present in person at the meeting) approved the Agreements.

Table of Shareholders Expenses (Unaudited)—As of April 30, 2008

          As a shareholder of the HSBC Investor LifeLine Funds (“Funds”), you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, redemption fees; and exchange fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or shareholder servicing fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

          These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008.

Actual Example

          The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

		Beginning Account Value 11/1/07			Ending Account Value 4/30/08			Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07 - 4/30/08			Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 11/1/07 - 4/30/08
Aggressive Growth Strategy Fund	Class A Shares		$	1,000.00		$	923.30		$	7.17	1.50	%
	Class B Shares			1,000.00			919.70			10.74	2.25	%
	Class C Shares			1,000.00			919.70			10.74	2.25	%
Growth Strategy Fund	Class A Shares			1,000.00			929.30			7.10	1.48	%
	Class B Shares			1,000.00			925.60			10.68	2.23	%
	Class C Shares			1,000.00			925.80			10.68	2.23	%
Moderate Growth Strategy Fund	Class A Shares			1,000.00			941.60			6.90	1.43	%

	Class B Shares			1,000.00			954.00			10.93	2.25	%
	Class C Shares			1,000.00			955.00			10.94	2.25	%

* Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period multiplied by the Funds’ annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one half year period).

Table of Shareholders Expenses (Unaudited)—As of April 30, 2008 (continued)

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

          The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.

          Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Percentages indicated are based on net assets of $107,150,902.
(a)	Variable rate security. The interest rates on these securities are adjusted periodically to reflect then-current short-term interest rates. The rates presented represent the rates in effect on April 30, 2008. The maturity dates presented reflect the final maturity dates. However, some of these securities may contain put or demand features that allow the fund to require the issuer to repurchase the security from the fund within various time periods, including daily, weekly, monthly, or semi-annually.
(b)	Security exempt from registration under Rule 144a of the Securities Act of 1933. This security may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers. This security has been deemed liquid by the Investment Adviser based on procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
(c)	Interest-Only represents securities that entitle holders to receive only interest payments on the underlying mortgages. The yield to maturity of an Interest-Only is extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments on the underlying mortgage assets. A rapid (slow) rate of principal repayments may have an adverse (positive) effect on yield to maturity. Interest rate adjusts periodically based on the pay off of the underlying mortgage. The interest rate presented represents the rates in effect on April 30, 2008. The principal amount shown is the notional amount of the underlying mortgages.
(d)	Security was fair valued as of April 30, 2008. Represents 0.02% of net assets.
(e)	Rule 144a, section 4(2) or other security which is restricted as to resale to institutional investors. The Investment Adviser, using Board approved procedures, has deemed these securities to be illiquid. Represents 0.02% of total net assets.

HSBC INVESTOR PORTFOLIOS

Notes to Financial Statements—as of April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)

1.	Organization:
	The HSBC Investor Portfolios (the “Portfolio Trust”), is an open-end management investment company organized as a New York trust under the laws of the State of New York on November 1, 1994. The Portfolio Trust contains the following master funds (individually a “Portfolio,” collectively the “Portfolios”):

Portfolio	Short Name
HSBC Investor Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio	Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio
HSBC Investor High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio	High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio
HSBC Investor Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio	Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio
HSBC Investor Growth Portfolio	Growth Portfolio
HSBC Investor International Equity Portfolio	International Equity Portfolio
HSBC Investor Opportunity Portfolio	Opportunity Portfolio
HSBC Investor Value Portfolio	Value Portfolio

	The Portfolios operate as master funds in master-feeder arrangements, in which other funds invest their investable assets in the Portfolios. The Declaration of Trust permits the Board of Trustees to issue an unlimited number of beneficial interests in the Portfolios.
	The Portfolios are diversified series of the Portfolio Trust and are part of the HSBC Investor Family of Funds. Financial statements for all other funds of the HSBC Investor Family of Funds are published separately.
	Under the Portfolio Trust’s organizational documents, the Portfolios’ officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Portfolios. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Portfolios may enter into contracts with their service providers, which also provide for indemnifications by the Portfolios. The Portfolios’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown as this would involve any future claims that may be made against the Portfolios. However, based on experience, the Portfolios expect that risk of loss to be remote.
2.	Significant Accounting Policies:
	The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies followed by the Portfolios in the preparation of their financial statements. The policies are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Securities Valuation:
	Bonds and other fixed income securities (other than short-term obligations but including listed issues) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service, the use of which has been approved by the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees. In making such valuations, the pricing service utilizes both dealer-supplied valuations and the use of matrix techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics other than market data and without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices or exchanges or over-the-counter prices, since such valuations are believed to reflect more accurately the fair value of such securities. All debt portfolio securities with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. Under the amortized cost method, premium or discount, if any, is amortized or accreted, respectively, on a constant (straight-line) basis to the maturity of the security.
	The value of each equity security is based either on the last sale price on a national securities exchange, or in the absence of recorded sales, at the closing bid prices on such exchanges, or at the quoted bid price in the over-the-counter market. Securities or other assets for which market quotations are not readily available, or are deemed unreliable due to a significant event or otherwise, are valued by or at the direction of the Portfolios’ Board of Trustees. Examples of potentially significant events that could affect the value of an individual security include corporate actions by the issuer, announcements by the issuer relating to its earnings or products, regulatory news, natural disasters, and litigation. Examples of potentially significant events that could affect multiple securities held by a Portfolio include governmental actions, natural

Notes to Financial Statements—as of April 30, 2008 (Unaudited) (continued)

disasters, and armed conflicts. In addition, if events materially affecting the value of foreign securities occur between the time when the exchange on which they are traded closes and the time when the Portfolios’ net assets are calculated, such securities may be valued using fair value pricing in accordance with procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. Management identifies possible fluctuations in foreign securities by monitoring the rise or fall in the value of a designated benchmark index. In the event of a rise or fall greater than predetermined levels, the International Equity Portfolio may use a systematic valuation model provided by an independent third party to value its foreign securities, rather than local market closing prices. When the International Equity Portfolio uses such a valuation model, the value assigned to the International Equity Portfolio’s foreign securities may not be the quoted or published prices of the investment on their primary markets or exchanges.

Investment Transactions and Related Income:

          Investment transactions are accounted for no later than one business day after trade date. For financial reporting purposes, changes in holdings are accounted for on trade date on the last business day of the reporting period. Investment gains and losses are calculated on the identified cost basis. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis and includes, where applicable, the amortization or accretion of premium or discount. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.

Foreign Currency Translation:

          The accounting records of the Portfolios are maintained in U.S. dollars. Foreign currency amounts are translated into U.S. dollars at the current rate of exchange to determine the value of investments, assets and liabilities. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. The Portfolios do not isolate the portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments and foreign currencies.

Forward Foreign Currency Exchange Contracts:

          The Portfolios may enter into forward foreign currency exchange contracts in connection with planned purchases or sales of securities or to hedge the U.S. dollar value of portfolio securities denominated in a particular currency. The Portfolios could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The forward foreign currency exchange contracts are adjusted by the daily exchange rate of the underlying currency and any gains or losses are recorded for financial statement purposes as unrealized gains or losses until the contract settlement date.

Futures Contracts:

          Each Portfolio may invest in futures contracts for the purpose of hedging their existing portfolio securities or securities it intends to purchase against fluctuations in fair value caused by changes in prevailing market interest rates. Upon entering into a futures contract, the Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash and/or other assets equal to a certain percentage of the contract amount (initial margin deposit). Subsequent payments, known as “variation margin,” are made or received by the Portfolio each day, depending on the daily fluctuations in the fair value of the underlying security. The Portfolio recognizes a gain or loss equal to the daily variation margin. Should market conditions move unexpectedly, the Portfolio may not achieve the anticipated benefits of the futures contracts and may realize a loss. The use of futures transactions involves the risk of imperfect correlation in movements in the price of futures contracts, interest rates, and the underlying hedged assets.

Mortgage Dollar Roll Transactions:

          The Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio, the High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio and the Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio may engage in dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage securities issued by the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. In a dollar roll transaction, the Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a similar security on a specified future date at an agreed upon price. During the roll period, the Portfolio will not be entitled to receive any interest or principal paid on the securities sold. The Portfolio is compensated for the lost interest on the securities sold by the difference between the sales price and the lower price for the future repurchase as well as by the interest earned on the reinvestment of the sales proceeds. The Portfolio may also be compensated by receipt of a commitment fee.

Notes to Financial Statements—as of April 30, 2008 (Unaudited) (continued)

Restricted and Illiquid Securities:

          A restricted security is a security which has been purchased through a private offering and cannot be resold to the general public without prior registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or pursuant to the resale limitations provided by Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, or an exemption from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act. Certain restricted securities may be resold in transactions exempt from registration, normally to qualified institutional buyers, and may be deemed liquid by the investment adviser based on procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Therefore, not all restricted securities are considered illiquid. At April 30, 2008 the HSBC Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio held restricted securities that were illiquid, representing 0.02% of net assets, as follows:

Security Name	Acquisition Date	Acquisition Cost($)	Principal Amount($)	Value($)
FHA Weyerhauser, 7.43%, 1/1/24	3/28/2002	25,228	26,696	26,696

Repurchase Agreements:

          The Portfolios may enter into repurchase agreements with an entity which is a member of the Federal Reserve System or which is a “primary dealer” (as designated by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York) in U.S. Government obligations. The repurchase price generally equals the price paid by a Portfolio plus interest negotiated on the basis of current short-term rates, which may be more or less than the rate on the underlying portfolio securities. The seller, under a repurchase agreement, is required to maintain the collateral held pursuant to the agreement, with a fair value equal to or greater than the repurchase price (including accrued interest). Collateral subject to repurchase agreements is held by the Portfolios’ custodian or another qualified custodian or in the Federal Reserve/Treasury book-entry system. In the event of counterparty default, the Portfolio has the right to use the collateral to offset losses incurred. There is a potential for loss to the Portfolio in the event the Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral securities, including the risk of a possible decline in the fair value of the underlying securities during the period while the Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.

Expense Allocations:

          Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses not directly attributable to a Portfolio are allocated proportionally among various or all funds within the HSBC Investor Family of Funds in relation to net assets or on another reasonable basis.

Federal Income Taxes:

          Each Portfolio will be treated as a partnership for U.S. Federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, each Portfolio passes through all of its net investment income and gains and losses to its feeder funds, and is therefore not subject to U.S. Federal income tax. As such, investors in the Portfolios will be taxed on their respective share of the Portfolios’ ordinary income and realized gains. It is intended that the Portfolios will be managed in such a way that an investor will be able to satisfy the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies.

          In addition, effective April 30, 2008, the Trust adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in the financial statements. FIN 48 requires the affirmative evaluation of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Portfolio Trust’s tax returns to determine whether it is more-likely-than-not (i.e., greater than 50-percent) that each tax position will be sustained upon examination by a taxing authority based on the technical merits of the position. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements will generally result in an increase in a liability for taxes payable (or a reduction of a tax refund receivable), including the recognition of any related interest and penalties as an operating expense. Implementation of FIN 48 included a review of tax positions taken in tax years that remain subject to examination by tax authorities (i.e., the last 4 tax year ends and the interim tax period since then, as applicable). The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact the Portfolios’ net assets or results of operations.

	In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement on Financial Accounting Standards SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”(“SFAS No. 157”). This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The changes to current GAAP from the application of this Statement relate to the definition of fair value, the methods used to measure fair value, and the expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. Management does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statements; however, additional disclosures will be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on changes in net assets for the period.
	In March 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. SFAS 161requires enhanced disclosures about the Fund’s derivative and hedging activities, including how such activities are accounted for and their effect on the Portfolios financial position, performance and cash flows. Management is currently evaluating the impact, the adoption of SFAS 161 will have on the Fund’s financial statements and related disclosures.

	Investment Adviser Contract Approval—as of April 30, 2008 (Unaudited)
The Independent Trustees of the HSBC Investor Funds Trust, HSBC Advisor Funds Trust and HSBC Investor Portfolios (collectively, the “Trusts”), and the non-interested Trustees, voting separately, approved the renewal of the Investment Advisory Contracts and, where applicable Sub-Advisory Contracts, with respect to the respective series of the Trusts then existing (collectively, the “Existing Funds”) at an in-person meeting held on December 10, 2007. Also, at an in-person meeting held on April 1, 2008, The Independent Trustees reviewed and approved a new Investment Advisory Contract and Sub-Advisory Contract with respect to the HSBC Investor Growth Fund (the “Growth Fund”) (the Existing Funds and Growth Fund are collectively referred to as the “Funds” and the Investment Advisory Contracts and Sub-Advisory Contracts are collectively referred to as the “Agreements”).
In determining whether it was appropriate to approve the Agreements for the Funds, The Independent Trustees requested information from the Adviser and the various Sub-Advisers that it believed to be reasonably necessary to reach its conclusion. In an Executive Session, the Independent Trustees carefully evaluated this information, and were advised by independent legal counsel with respect to their deliberations. Based on its review of the information requested and provided for each Fund, The Independent Trustees determined that the relevant Agreements were consistent with the best interests of the Funds and their shareholders, and enable the Funds to receive high quality services at a cost that is appropriate and reasonable. The Independent Trustees made these determinations on the basis of the following considerations, among others:
	Nature, Extent, and Quality of Services Provided by Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees considered the nature, quality and extent of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser (and, as applicable, the Sub-Advisers), in light of the high quality services provided to the Funds, and each Fund’s historic performance. The Independent Trustees considered the historical performance and the commitment of the Adviser to the successful operations of the Funds including the level of expenses of the Funds, and each Fund’s historic performance. The Independent Trustees considered the historical performance and commitment of the Adviser to the successful operations of the Funds including the level of expenses of the Funds. With respect to the Equity Funds, The Independent Trustees considered the capabilities and performance of the Adviser’s Multimanager unit. The Independent Trustees also considered the use of expense limitation agreements in order to reduce the overall operating expenses of certain funds. The Independent Trustees also took note of the long term relationship between the Adviser and the Funds and the efforts undertaken by the Adviser to foster the growth and development of the Funds since the inception of each of the Funds. For the Fixed Income Funds, The Independent Trustees also considered the historical performance and experience of the management team in managing other accounts, and the reasonable expectation of achieving competitive performance for these Funds. The Independent Trustees also considered the extent to which the investment advisers had achieved economies of scale and the extent to which shareholders participated in those economies of scale.
	Investment Performance of the Funds, Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees considered short-term and long-term investment performance of each Fund over various periods of time as compared to a peer group of comparable funds. The Independent Trustees members took note of performance information for the one, three and five year periods and since inception as relevant. In addition The Independent Trustees compared expenses of each Fund to the expenses of its peers, noting that the expenses for each of the Funds compare favorably with industry averages for other funds of similar size.
	Costs of Services and Profits Realized by the Adviser. The Independent Trustees considered the Adviser’s overall profitability and costs and an analysis of the estimated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Funds. The Independent Trustees considered that the advisory fees under the Agreements were within the range of those of similar funds, noting the high level of resource, expertise and experience that was provided to the Funds by the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees concluded that the combined advisory fees payable to the Adviser and each of the Fund’s Sub-Advisers are fair and reasonable in light of the services to be provided, the anticipated costs of these services, the profitability of the Adviser’s relationship with the Fund, and the comparability of the advisory fee to similar fees paid by comparable mutual funds.
	Other Relevant Considerations. The Independent Trustees also considered the overall high quality of the personnel, operations, financial condition, investment management capabilities, methodologies, and performance of the Adviser and Sub-Advisers. The Independent Trustees also noted the range of investment advisory and administrative services

		provided by the Adviser to the Funds and the level and quality of these services, in particular the quality of the personnel providing these services. In addition, The Independent Trustees considered the overall favorable investment performance of the Funds.
	Accordingly, in light of the above considerations and such other factors and information it considered relevant, The Independent Trustees by a unanimous vote of those present in person at the meetings (including a separate vote of the Independent Trustees present in person at the meeting) approved the Agreements.

HSBC INVESTOR PORTFOLIOS
Table of Shareholder Expenses (unaudited)—as of April 30, 2008
	As a shareholder of the HSBC Investor Portfolios (“Portfolios”), you incur ongoing costs, including management fees and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Portfolios and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
	These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from November 1, 2007 through April 30, 2008.
	Actual Example
	The table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the table under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

	Beginning Account Value 11/1/07			Ending Account Value 4/30/08			Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07 – 4/30/08			Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 11/1/07 – 4/30/08
Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio		$	1,000.00		$	991.30		$	2.87		0.58	%
High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio			1,000.00			981.90			6.06		1.23	%
Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio			1,000.00			984.70			4.39		0.89	%
Growth Portfolio			1,000.00			916.70			2.86		0.60	%
International Equity Portfolio			1,000.00			892.10			3.67		0.78	%
Opportunity Portfolio			1,000.00			973.70			4.27		0.87	%
Value Portfolio			1,000.00			896.20			3.02		0.64	%

* Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period multiplied by the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one half year period).

HSBC INVESTOR PORTFOLIOS 76

HSBC INVESTOR PORTFOLIOS
Table of Shareholder Expenses (unaudited)—as of April 30, 2008 (continued)
	Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
	The table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each Portfolio’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Portfolio’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of other funds.
	Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees, or exchange fees. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

	Beginning Account Value 11/1/07		Ending Account Value 4/30/08		Expenses Paid During Period* 11/1/07 – 4/30/08			Annualized Expense Ratio During Period 11/1/07 – 4/30/08
Core Plus Fixed Income Portfolio	$	1,000.00	$	1,021.98		$	2.92		0.58	%
High Yield Fixed Income Portfolio		1,000.00		1,018.75			6.17		1.23	%
Intermediate Duration Fixed Income Portfolio		1,000.00		1,020.44			4.47		0.89	%
Growth Portfolio		1,000.00		1,021.88			3.02		0.60	%
International Equity Portfolio		1,000.00		1,020.98			3.92		0.78	%
Opportunity Portfolio		1,000.00		1,020.54			4.37		0.87	%
Value Portfolio		1,000.00		1,021.68			3.22		0.64	%

*	Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period multiplied by the Portfolio’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one half year period).
