HSBC MUTUAL FUND


Addendum No. 2


The following shall be inserted above the topic ‘How to apply?’ on page 56 of the offer document:

Prevention of Money Laundering

In terms of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002, the Rules issued there under and the guidelines/circulars issued by SEBI regarding the AntiMoney Laundering (AML Laws), all intermediaries, including Mutual Funds, have to formulate and implement a client identification programme, verifyand maintain the record of identity and address(es) of investors.

In order to make the data capture and document submission easy and convenient for the investors, the Mutual Fund Industry has collectively entrusted thisresponsibility of collection of documents relating to identity and address and record keeping to an independent agency (presently CDSL Ventures Limited)that will act as central record keeping agency (‘Central Agency’). As a token of having verified the identity and address and for efficient retrieval ofrecords, the Central Agency will issue a Mutual Fund Identification Number (‘MIN’) to each investor who submits an application and the prescribeddocuments to the Central Agency.

Investors who have obtained the MIN can invest in the schemes of the Mutual Fund by quoting the MIN in lieu of submitting information and documentsrequired under AML Laws.

Mutual Fund Identification Number (MIN)

Investors who wish to obtain a MIN have to submit a completed Application Form for MIN (‘MIN Form’) along with all the prescribed documents listedin the MIN Form, at any of the Point of Service (‘POS’). The MIN Form is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and AMFI website(www.amfiindia.com). POS are the designated centres appointed by the Central Agency for receiving application forms, processing data and allotment ofMIN. List of and location of POS is available at our website (www.hsbcinvestments.co.in) and www.amfiindia.com. On submission of application,documents and information to the satisfaction of the POS, the investor will be allotted a provisional MIN across the counter. Subsequently, the CentralAgency will scrutinize the information and documents submitted by the investor, and confirm the MIN. However, the Central Agency may cancel the MINwithin 15 working days from the date of allotment of provisional MIN, in case of any deficiency in the document/information. Intimation on cancellationof MIN will be dispatched by the Central Agency to the investor immediately. No communication will be sent to the investor if the MIN as allotted isconfirmed.

Presently, it is mandatory for all applications for subscription of value of Rs.50,000/- and above to quote the MIN of all the applicants (guardian in caseof minor) in the application for subscription. The MIN will be validated with the records of the Central Agency before allotting units. Applications forsubscriptions of value of Rs.50,000/- and above without a valid MIN may be rejected.

In the event of any MIN Application Form being subsequently rejected for lack of information / deficiency / insufficiency of mandatory documentation,the investment transaction will be cancelled and the amount may be redeemed at applicable NAV, subject to payment of exit load, wherever applicable. Suchredemption proceeds will be despatched within a maximum period of 21 days from date of acceptance of application. (In case of an ELSS Scheme or a NewFund Offer, allotment will be done only on confirmation from the Central Agency that the MIN is final and if the Central Agency informs that the MINis cancelled, the original amount invested will be refunded).

All investors (both individual and non-individual) can apply for a MIN. However, applicants should note that minors cannot apply for a MIN and anyinvestment in the name of minors should be along with a Guardian, who should obtain a MIN for the purpose of investing with the Mutual Fund. Also,applicants / unit holders intending to apply for units / currently holding units and operating their Mutual Fund folios through a Power of Attorney (PoA)must ensure that the issuer of the PoA and the holder of the PoA must mention their respective MIN at the time of investment above the threshold. PoAholders are not permitted to apply for a MIN on behalf of the issuer of the PoA. Separate procedures are prescribed for change in name, address and otherMIN related details, should the applicant desire to change such information. POS will extend the services of effecting such changes.

All other terms and conditions of the Schemes remain unchanged. This Addendum forms an integral part of the Offer Document.

Applicants / Unit holders may contact our Investor Service Centers / their distributors, for any additional information/clarifications. Also, please visit ourwebsite www.hsbcinvestments.co.in for any other related information.

Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of HSBC Asset Management (India) Private Limited and Board of Trustees ofHSBC Mutual Fund have approved the following changes in HSBC Combined Scheme Information Document

(HSBC Combined SID) dated 20 November 2008 w.e.f. 08 May 2009:

1. Point A on "Risk Factors" under 'Section I - Introduction'

The following scheme specific risk factor for HSBC Midcap Equity Fund shall be included under "Risk factors associated with investing inEquity or Equity related Securities":

"Medium capitalisation stocks have the potential to experience greater volatility and may be less liquid than larger capitalisation stocks. Thus,relative to larger, more liquid stocks, investing in medium capitalization stocks, involves potentially greater volatility and risk. The biggest riskof equity investing is that returns can fluctuate and investors can lose money.

The Scheme seeks to generate returns by investing in stocks of Medium Cap Companies that have strong or improving fundamentals, high growthpotential or are under-priced relative to their intrinsic value. This may or may not happen. However, as with all equity investing, there is the riskthat a company will not achieve its expected earnings results, or that an unexpected change in the market or within the company will occur, bothof which may adversely affect investment results."

The following scheme specific risk factor shall be included under "Risk factors associated with investing in Fixed Income Securities"

"Duration Risk: Duration is a risk measure used to measure the bond / security price changes to potential changes in interest rates. Duration ofportfolio x the expected changes in rates = the expected value change in the portfolio. Duration is more scientific measure of risk as comparedto average maturity of the portfolio. The higher the duration of the portfolio, the greater the changes in value (i.e. higher risk) to movement ininterest rates. Modified duration is the duration of a bond / security given its current yield to maturity, put/ call feature, and an expected level offuture interest rates."

2. Point C on "Special Considerations" under 'Section I - Introduction'

The following shall be included:

"The Scheme(s) at times may receive large number of redemption requests which may have an adverse impact on the performance of theScheme(s) and may also affect all the unit holders as the fund manager needs to liquidate securities to meet the redemptions post which theportfolio is likely to be less liquid."

3. Point D on "Definitions" under 'Section I - Introduction'

The definition of "Business Day" shall be substituted by the following:

"A day other than (1) Saturday and Sunday and / or (2) a day on which The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and/ or National Stock Exchange ofIndia Limited and /or Reserve Bank of India and /or banks in Mumbai are closed and / or (3) a day on which there is no RBI clearing / settlement ofsecurities and / or (4) a day on which The Bombay Stock Exchange Limited and/or National Stock Exchange of India Limited and/or any otheroverseas exchanges where the fund has a substantial investment and/or Reserve Bank of India and/or banks in Mumbai and/or banks in overseasmarkets where the fund has substantial investment are closed (point no. (4) specifically applicable to HEMF only) and /or (5) a day on which thesale and / or redemption and / or switches of Units is suspended by the Trustees / AMC and /or (6) a book closure period as may be announced bythe Trustees / AMC and / or (7) A day on which the sale and repurchase the units of the overseas mutual fund, where the fund has a substantialinvestment, is suspended or closed (point no. (7) specifically applicable to HEMF only) and / or (8) a day on which normal business cannot betransacted due to storms, floods, bandhs, strikes or such other events as the AMC may determine from time to time.

The AMC reserves the right to change the definition of Business Day(s).

Provided that the days when the banks in any location where the AMC's Investor Service Centres are located, are closed due to a local holiday, suchdays will be treated as non Business Days at such centres for the purposes of accepting fresh subscriptions. However, if the Investor Service Centrein such locations is open on such local holidays, then redemption and switch requests will be accepted at those centres, provided it is a Business Dayfor the Scheme on an overall basis. Notwithstanding the above, the AMC may declare any day as a Business Day / Non Business Day."

4. Change in Benchmark Index of HSBC Ultra Short Term Bond Fund (HUSBF)

The benchmark index of HUSBF shall be changed from CRISIL Liquid Fund Index (100%) to composite of CRISIL Liquid Fund Index and CRISILShort Term Bond Fund Index with weightings of 90% and 10% respectively as the revised benchmark is more suitable for comparison of the schemewhich will enable the investors to arrive at a more informed judgment on scheme's performance.

5. Change in the load structure of HSBC MIP - Savings Plan

The revised exit load for HSBC MIP - Savings Plan applicable on a prospective basis shall be as follows:

Particulars Existing Revised (For HSBC MIP - Regular Plan & Savings Plan) (For HSBC MIP - Savings Plan)

Sd/-Authorised SignatoryMumbai, February 10, 2012

NOTICE is hereby given that the following changes will be effected in the Combined Scheme Information Document (SID) of HSBC Mutual Fund (Fund) consisting of all openended schemes of the Fund.

With effect from May 1, 2012, the following changes will be made under the schemes of the Fund :

I. RISK FACTORS

1. Risk factors - HSBC Emerging Markets Fund (HEMF)

a. The scheme will be investing predominantly in units/securities issued by overseas mutual funds or unit trusts of emerging markets. Hence,HEMF’s performance may depend upon the performance of the underlying overseas mutual funds or unit trusts of emerging markets. Anychange in the investment policy or the fundamental attributes of the underlying schemes will affect the performance of HEMF.

b. If the underlying scheme into which HEMF predominantly invests, declares any day as a non-business day, AMC will also declare that dayas a non business day. However, if this information is received by the AMC from underlying scheme later in the day and HEMF has alreadyaccepted transactions, such transactions will be processed on the next business day.

c. As the underlying scheme will invest in emerging markets, investors are advised to consider carefully the special risks of investing inemerging market securities. Economies in Emerging Markets generally are heavily dependent upon international trade and, accordingly,have been and may continue to be affected adversely by trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency valuesand other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries with which they trade. These economies also have been and maycontinue to be affected adversely by economic conditions in the countries in which they trade. The risk also exists that an emergencysituation may arise as a result of which trading of securities may cease or may be substantially curtailed and prices for the underlyingscheme’s securities in such markets may not be readily available.

2. Risk factor – HEMF and HSBC Brazil Fund

Swing Pricing Risk: There are trading and associated transaction costs involved when there are significant inflows into or significant outflowsfrom the underlying scheme. The dealing charges incurred as a result of such significant flows fall not only on those investors who have justtransacted but on all the investors in the underlying scheme thereby diluting the value of their existing shareholders’ holding. Introduction of‘Swing Pricing’ aims to protect the interest of the existing investors of the underlying scheme from some of the performance dilution thatthey may suffer as a result of significant inflows and outflows from the underlying scheme. It is a process whereby the underlying schemeadjusts or swings its NAV when a predetermined net capital activity threshold (or swing threshold) is exceeded. Thus, investors of theunderlying scheme (including local scheme) may be positively or negatively impacted by application of the swing price factor by theunderlying scheme, depending upon whether they are subscribing/redeeming on the date of application of swing price factor.

3. Risk factor applicable to all schemes of the Fund

The schemes of the Fund could be exposed to changes in legal, tax and regulatory regime which may adversely affect it and/or the investors. Such changes could also haveretrospective effect and could lead to additional taxation imposed on the schemes which was not contemplated either when investments were made, valued or disposed off.

II. COMPLIANCE UNDER FATCA

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) - The Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act (the “Hire Act”) was signed into US law in March 2010. It includesprovisions generally known as FATCA. The intention of these is that details of U.S. investors holding assets outsidethe US will be reported by financial institutions to the IRS, as a safeguard against U.S. tax evasion. As a result of the Hire Act, and to discouragenon-U.S. financial institutions from staying outside this regime, financial institutions that do not enter and comply with the regime will besubject to a 30% penalty withholding tax with respect to certain U.S. source income (including dividends) and gross proceeds from the sale orother disposal of property that can produce U.S. source income. The regime will be legally effective from 1 January 2013, however,withholding will only be phased in from 1 January 2014. The basic terms of the Hire Act currently appear to include the Fund as a ‘FinancialInstitution’, such that in order to comply, the Fund may require all investors to provide mandatory documentary evidence of their taxresidence. However, the Hire Act grants the U.S. Treasury Secretary extensive powers to relax or waive the requirements where an institutionis deemed to pose a low risk of being used for the purposes of U.S. tax evasion. The detailed regulations that are expected to define how widelythose powers will in fact be exercised have not yet been published, and accordingly the Fund cannot at this time accurately assess the extentof the requirements that FATCA may place upon it.

However, in order to protect its investors from the effect of any penalty withholding, it is the intention of the Fund to be compliant with therequirements of the FATCA regime. Hence, it is possible that this may require the Fund (through its agents or service providers) as far as legallypermitted, to report information on the holdings or investment returns of any investor to the US authorities and redeem and/or applywithholding tax to payments to investors who fail to provide the information and documents required to identify their status, or are non-FATCA compliant financial institutions or fall within other catgeories specified in the regulations.

This Notice-cum-Addendum forms an integral part of the SID of the Fund, as amended from time to time. For the detailed provisions with regard to the above, kindly refer the SIDavailable on the website of the Fund. All other terms and conditions except as mentioned above, of the schemes of the Fund remain unchanged.

Our experience of investing in the dividend yield theme suggests that returns are relatively stable and not as volatile as some of the other themesmentioned above. We therefore propose to repositionthe Scheme in such a way that it focuses solely on dividend yield stocks.

The following changes to HUOF will be effected in the Combined Scheme Information (SID) and Key Information Memorandum (KIM) of theScheme, with effect from July 18, 2014.
