HSBC adds leading global funds to Onshore Investment Bond

HSBC Life announced that they have made available a range of international SICAV funds within the HSBC Onshore Investment Bond, including funds from Aviva, Barings, Fidelity, JP Morgan and Pictet.

Antony Champion, Head of Intermediary Sales, HSBC Life, commented: "This is part of the ongoing development of the Bond for intermediaries and further demonstrates its flexibility for advisers' financial planning requirements.  The UK registered international funds will be appearing from April in performance tables and are already on some platforms.

"Research tells us that advisers expect to increase their business into SICAVs dramatically over the next five years, so we felt now was the right time to add them to our Bond.  We are delighted to have been able to bring these innovative funds to advisers very quickly, and will continue to react to adviser feedback."
