An investment in knowledge pays the best interest - Benjamin Franklin

Why should I start investing?
Not only does investing ensure that your current capital maintains its value in the future, it also helps you grow your wealth so that you can fulfil your personal aspirations at different life stages.
What type of investor are you?

Start with the basics
For some years now, savings accounts have been yielding either very little, no or even negative returns. As the cost of living (inflation) may increase, this means your money might become less valuable.
Therefore, by investing, you are putting your money to work with the hope of growing it over time. If you're serious about starting to invest, you can grasp some basic investment concepts tailored for beginners here.

Stay on top of ESG developments and invest sustainably
Climate change is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The more we understand ESG, the bigger the role we can play in contributing to a better world.
Sustainable investing refers to the objective of generating long-term financial returns while contributing positively to the environment and society. As many governments have committed to achieve the global net-zero emissions, there are huge investment opportunities to explore.

“Sustainable investments” include investment approaches or instruments which consider environmental, social, governance and/or other sustainability factors (collectively, “sustainability”) to varying degrees. Certain instruments we include within this category may be in the process of changing to deliver sustainability outcomes.
There is no guarantee that sustainable investments will produce returns similar to those which don’t consider these factors. Sustainable investments may diverge from traditional market benchmarks.
In addition, there is no standard definition of, or measurement criteria for sustainable investments, or the impact of sustainable investments (“sustainability impact”). Sustainable investment and sustainability impact measurement criteria are (a) highly subjective and (b) may vary significantly across and within sectors.
HSBC may rely on measurement criteria devised and/or reported by third party providers or issuers. HSBC does not always conduct its own specific due diligence in relation to measurement criteria. There is no guarantee: (a) that the nature of the sustainability impact or measurement criteria of an investment will be aligned with any particular investor’s sustainability goals; or (b) that the stated level or target level of sustainability impact will be achieved.
Sustainable investing is an evolving area and new regulations may come into effect which may affect how an investment is categorised or labelled. An investment which is considered to fulfil sustainable criteria today may not meet those criteria at some point in the future.
