31 March 2025 – HSBC Asset Management (HSBC AM) has announced the launch of the HSBC GH Luxembourg Fund, a new hedge fund strategy designed for European investors looking to tap into opportunities created by uncertain global markets.
As a fund of hedge funds, the HSBC GH Luxembourg Fund offers access to what HSBC AM considers top tier hedge funds or managers in a single fund. The portfolio will primarily allocate to the existing flagship hedge fund strategy HSBC GH Fund which invest in 28 underlying funds that employ a range of alternative strategies, including global macro, arbitrage, event-driven strategies, and long-short equity on a regional, global, or sectoral basis. The HFRI Fund of Funds Composite index will be used as a benchmark.

Tim Gascoigne, Senior Investment Specialist at HSBC AM, said: “With continuing uncertainty pervading global markets, investors are expanding their avenues for returns and seeking greater exposure to asset classes which traditionally benefit from choppier markets. Against this backdrop – in our view – hedge funds provide a potentially attractive solution to meet the need of diversifying portfolios without compromising on return.
“The HSBC GH Luxembourg Fund further expands our European distribution coverage following consistent client feedback from the region seeking exposure to alternative strategies. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to meet this demand by offering institutional-quality hedge fund solutions underpinned by HSBC AM’s global reach and investment capabilities.”
The HSBC GH Luxembourg Fund is available to both institutional and wholesale investors across Switzerland, Italy, Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands.
The launch builds on HSBC AM’s established record in the alternatives space, with the Alternatives business boasting a combined AUM and advice of USD 73.8bn as of 31 December 2024.
