ESG Investments have been gaining increasing attention from investors in recent years. What are the key features of this investment? What are the implications on the potential returns for investors?

Conventional Investments vs ESG Investments

Conventional Investments: Typically more concerned about financial fundamentals, such as the quarterly financial reports and balance sheet data of the companies
ESG Investments: ESG refers to Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance; and ESG Investments are about the inclusion of the three aspects in the scope of investment considerations, apart from financial fundamentals, for the opportunity to minimise potential risks and make a better world in the long run.

ESG Investments may help pave the way for a win-win outcome

By integrating ESG principles into the investing process, there is more potential to achieve sustainable sound returns. Besides, when ESG and corporate sustainability are combined in their investment strategies, companies may find themselves in a better position to enhance their competitiveness so as to bring potential positive changes, possibly creating a win-win situation.

At Hang Seng, we provide a wide array of ESG-themed investment choices, including investment funds, bonds and equity linked structured products.

Risk Disclosure of Bonds
  • Bonds are investment products. The investment decision is yours but you should not invest in a bond unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the bond is suitable to you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Your intermediary is under a duty to assure that you understand the nature and risks of this product, and that you have sufficient net worth to be able to assume the risks and bear the potential losses of trading in this product.
  • Bonds are not deposits and should not be treated as substitute for conventional time deposits.
  • Investors who purchase bonds are exposed to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor (if any) of the bonds. There is no assurance of protection against a default by the issuer/guarantor in respect of the repayment obligations. In the worst case scenario, any failure by the issuer and the guarantor (if any) to perform their respective obligations under the bonds may result in a total loss of all of your investment.
  • Before making any investment, investors should i) read and fully understand all the offering documents relating to such securities or investments and all the risk disclosure statements and risk warnings therein; and ii) make investment decisions in light of your own investment objectives, financial position and particular needs and where necessary consult your own professional advisers before investing.

Risk Disclosure of Investment Funds
Investors should note that all investments involve risks (including the possibility of loss of the capital invested), prices or value of investment fund units may go up as well as down and past performance information presented is not indicative of future performance. Investors should read carefully and understand the relevant offering documents of the investment funds (including the fund details and full text of the risk factors stated therein) and risk disclosure statements of the relevant investment funds before making any investment decision. Investors should carefully consider whether an investment is suitable for them in view of their own investment objectives, investment experience, preferred investment tenor, financial situation, risk tolerance abilities, tax implications and other needs, etc., and should understand the nature, terms and risks of the investment products. Investors should obtain independent professional advice if they have concerns about their investment.

Risk Disclosure of Equity Linked Structured Products
  • The market value of the Equity Linked Structured Products may fluctuate and investors may sustain a total loss of their investment. Prospective investors should therefore ensure that they understand the nature of the Equity Linked Structured Products and carefully study the risk factors set out in the offering documents for the Equity Linked Structured Products and, where necessary, seek independent professional advice, before they decide whether to invest in equity linked investments. If you purchase the Equity Linked Structured Products, you are relying upon the creditworthiness of the Issuer of Equity Linked Structured Products.
  • Liquidity risk - Equity Linked Structured Products are designed to be held to its maturity. You may not be able to sell your investment in the Equity Linked Structured Products before maturity. If you try to sell the Equity Linked Structured Products before expiry, the amount you receive may be substantially less than the investment amount you paid for the Equity Linked Structured Products.
  • Credit risk of the Equity Linked Structured Products issuer - Equity Linked Structured Products constitute general unsecured and unsubordinated contractual obligations of the issuer. When you buy Equity Linked Structured Products, you will be relying on the creditworthiness of the Equity Linked Structured Products issuer and of no other person. You have no rights under the terms and conditions of Equity Linked Structured Products against any issuer of any linked stock. If the relevant Equity Linked Structured Products issuer becomes insolvent or default on its obligations under the Equity Linked Structured Products, in the worst case scenario, you could lose all of your investment.
  • Not the same as investing in linked stock - Investing in Equity Linked Structured Products is not the same as investing in the linked stock(s). Changes in the market price or level of any linked stock(s) may not lead to a corresponding change in the market value of, or your potential gain or loss under, the Equity Linked Structured Products.
  • Before making any investment, investors should i) read and fully understand all the offering documents relating to such securities or investments and all the risk disclosure statements and risk warnings therein; and ii) make investment decisions in light of your own investment objectives, financial position and particular needs and where necessary consult your own professional advisers before investing.
