HSBC Asset Management applies a climate product framework for the internal classification of climate-related strategies. The framework is used to promote consistent standards across asset classes where relevant. Strategies within the climate product framework may not necessarily be marketed as sustainable externally, depending on the relevant regulatory regime for sustainable investment disclosure where there may be differences in requirements. The climate product framework should not be relied on to assess the climate-related characteristics of any given product; please refer to the relevant product literature for further information.
