The APPF series has been developed by HSBC Amanah Finance, the HSBC Group's global Islamic financial services division, in consultation with and approved by the HSBC Amanah Shariah Supervisory Committee.
Subscriptions for the HSBC Amanah Blue Chip Protected Fund opened on 26 March 2002 and will close on 11 May 2002. It follows closely on the heels of HSBC's highly successful first offering from the APPF series, the HSBC Amanah European Basket Protected Fund, subscriptions for which closed at the end of January. More principal protected funds in the APPF series are expected throughout the year.
The HSBC Amanah Blue Chip Protected Fund is designed to achieve medium-term capital growth through a diversified portfolio strategy, as well as offering 100 percent principal protection at maturity regardless of the performance of the equity markets. Capital growth will derive from exposure to a basket of the world's largest companies that comply with the guidelines of the HSBC Amanah Shariah Supervisory Committee. The Fund has a duration of four years, but may be retired earlier if the targeted capital gain is achieved prior to that. Minimum investment is US$5,000. The Fund is available through the investment advisory services of HSBC offices in Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, the UAE, and selected markets outside the Middle East.
