HSBC Mutual Fund has reopened three international schemes for fresh systematic investment plans and lump-sum investments from 18 August, with a monthly limit of Rs. 2 lakh. The funds are HSBC Global Emerging Markets, HSBC Asia Pacific (ex-Japan) Dividend Yield and HSBC Brazil.
According to Value Research data cited by Livemint, their one-year returns were 53.6%, 40.3% and 28.9%, respectively, as of 19 August 2026. The five-year returns stood at 12.8%, 15.1% and 7.1%. Access to overseas funds can change as asset managers approach or regain capacity under industry investment limits.
The Hindu BusinessLine quotes HSBC Asset Management India CEO Kailash Kulkarni advising investors to look beyond trailing returns, assess their risk profile and consider diversified funds or index funds. He also recommends SIPs. The three HSBC schemes are now available within the stated monthly cap.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Livemint frames the reopening as a new route to overseas diversification, while also linking access to the industry’s overseas investment limits and separating availability from suitability. The Hindu BusinessLine’s interview places greater weight on investor behaviour, warning against selecting funds solely by recent performance. Neither source establishes that the reported returns will continue, and the interview does not assess these three schemes individually. The balanced implication is that the reopening expands choice, but geography, risk and investment goals matter more than the latest return table. The Rs. 2 lakh monthly cap and the schemes’ mandates are the immediate details investors must assess.
