The value of investments, and any income received from them, can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations, as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.

Investments in emerging markets are by their nature higher risk and potentially more volatile than those inherent in established markets.

We recommend that you should regard stock market investments as medium to long term commitments (by which we mean that you should be prepared to hold them for a period of not less than 5 years).

What it offers

Experts in you
As a global bank, we understand that everyone's different. That's why we place great importance on understanding you and your needs. By identifying your personal hopes and dreams, we can start helping you build the future you want. Whatever that may be.

We realise the importance of making the right financial decisions and the impact they can have on your future plans. That's why our advisers go to great lengths to understand you and your goals, offering you holistic advice. What we mean by this is that we assess your needs across all of the following five areas:

  • protecting you and your family
  • saving for your children's future and education
  • planning for your retirement
  • managing and growing your wealth
  • passing on your wealth

Finding the right fit
To help you identify the level of investment risk you're comfortable with, we've developed our most advanced risk profiling tool yet. Using dynamic visuals, the tool accurately assesses your approach to risk and also helps you understand exactly what that approach means for you - putting you in control of your investment decisions.

A new world of advice

This means we don't recommend products from the whole of the market, but rather a limited range of products from a limited number of carefully selected companies, including HSBC.

How it works

If you're interested in seeking financial advice from HSBC, this is what you can expect from us:

Your no-obligation discussion
Your adviser will discuss your goals and circumstances and whether you might benefit from financial advice. They will also explain our Advice fees.

Your financial planning review
If you decide the service is right for you we'll then begin an in-depth assessment of your current circumstances and future goals.

We'll assess your needs in 5 key areas; protecting you and your family, your children’s future and education, managing and growing your wealth, retirement planning and passing on your wealth. Using our sophisticated risk profiling tool, we'll help you identify your investment risk tolerance so we can tailor our recommendations to reflect your individual needs. If you agree to the Advice Fee we will then proceed to creating your bespoke financial planning report.

Our report and recommendations
We'll then create a bespoke financial plan outlining our recommendations, including strategies and solutions that will help you build the future you want. Your adviser will then arrange a meeting to discuss their recommendations. They will talk you through the financial planning report and explain the total costs involved for advice and any product related charges, and also answer any questions you may have before implementing any recommendations with which you wish to proceed.

Things to consider

We charge for our service - our fees vary depending on your individual needs. Your adviser will clearly explain our fees upfront and the type of advice we offer in your initial, no-obligation discussion.

Our top 5 FAQs

  1. What is the difference between a cash ISA and a stocks and shares ISA?
    What is the difference between a cash ISA and a stocks and shares ISA?

    With a cash ISA, you make cash deposits similar to any other savings account, except that all interest earned is received tax free.

    With a stocks and shares ISAs, you invest your money into either a collective investment scheme (eg, 'investment funds' which invest in a range of different assets such as shares, government bonds, gilts and even other investment funds), or directly into individual stocks and shares (eg, equities or bonds).

    Stocks and shares ISAs are not investments in their own right, they are tax wrappers that surround an investment to provide the tax efficient returns. The value of your stocks and shares ISA will depend on how well the underlying investments (ie, investment funds or individual stocks and shares) perform, and whether you choose to have any income re-invested or paid out at regular intervals.

    All UK residents are able to save in cash ISAs from the age of 16 years. From the age of 18, you can start investing in stocks and shares ISAs, although do bear in mind that your investment can go down as well as up. This means that you could get back less than the amount you originally invested.

  2. Where can I get advice on my investments?
    Where can I get advice on my investments?

    If you have at least £50,000 in savings and investments, we can offer advice on a range of HSBC and non-HSBC products and will build a bespoke financial plan, tailored to your individual needs.

    The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested.

  3. Do you provide advice on HSBC products only?
    Do you provide advice on HSBC products only?
