Dear Shareholder,
HSBC Global Asset Management (Singapore) Limited, is the Representative of HSBC Global Investment
Funds - Taiwan Equity , the Sub-Fund of HSBC Global Investment Fund (the “Fund”) (HGIF), which is registered for distribution in Singapore as Recognised Scheme.
The board of directors of HSBC GIF (the "Board") regrets informing you that for the reason set-out below it has decided to liquidate the Sub-Fund with effect from 22 September 2016 (the "Closure Date").
The liquidation process is described in further detail below.
Terms otherwise not defined in this letter will have the same meaning as those defined in the current prospectus of HSBC GIF (the “Prospectus”).
1. REASON FOR THE CLOSURE
The SubFund’s assets under management (approximately US Dollar 2.9 million as at 30 June 2016) are below the $50m minimum as set out in the Prospectus and no longer sufficient to permit efficient management of the
Sub-Fund. The Sub-Fund is also unlikely to grow in a way that would make it viable over the long term.
In light of this information, and on the basis of Article 5 of HSBC GIF's articles of incorporation, it is with regret that the Board has decided to liquidate the Sub-Fund.

Costs
Please be informed that all legal and administrative costs in relation to this liquidation will be borne by HSBC
Global Asset Management Limited and not the Sub-Fund.
The Sub-Fund will however incur the transaction costs associated with liquidating the assets of the Sub-Fund.
The transaction costs, based upon the Sub-Fund's current portfolio, are estimated to be around 0.20% of the
SubFund’s assets (this includes for example bid offer spread, market impact, brokerage and taxes on transactions). In practice, these costs will be highly dependent on market conditions and the portfolio at the time of the liquidation, and may be higher or lower.
Suspension of subscriptions, redemptions and conversions
In accordance with Article 22 (e) of the HSBC GIF’s articles of incorporation, redemptions and conversions will also be suspended from 10.00 a.m. Luxembourg time on 13 September 2016 until the Closure Date.
Subscription Redemption & Conversion

You may convert your shares into another sub-fund of HSBC GIF or redeem your shares in the Sub-Fund free of charge (with the exception of any pricing adjustment to reflect your pro-rata share of transaction costs) until
10.00 a.m.
Luxembourg time on 13 September 2016 in accordance with the terms of the current Prospectus.
Following the Closure Date
If you do not redeem your shares in the Sub-Fund before 10.00 a.m.
Luxembourg time on 13 September 2016 , your investment will remain in the Sub-Fund and you will receive liquidation proceeds in cash in proportion to your shareholding on the Closure Date.
Liquidation proceeds will be paid four business days after the Closure Date in line with the standard settlement period stated in HSBC GIF's prospectus.
Liquidation proceeds that cannot be distributed to the shareholders upon the close of the liquidation of the Sub-
Fund will be deposited with the Caisse de Consignation of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, from which shareholders can claim the liquidation proceeds attributable to them at any time within the period prescribed by the laws and regulations of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
2. TAX IMPACT
The liquidation may impact your tax treatment. If you are in any doubt regarding your taxation position you should consult your own professional adviser.
