HSBC Consumption Fund

Consumption Fund - An open ended equity scheme following consumption theme

India is broadly where China was in CY06. Since then, China has seen explosion in consumption spends across categories and we believe that India will follow similar path. India is favorably positioned due to its demographics, formalization of economy, increase women participation in workforce etc. Aspirational Indian are more tech savvy and influenced by social media and ready to spend now than later through use of credit. We are witnessing consumption shifting from unorganized to organized, premium categories and consumer behavior moving towards buying everything anywhere. This should drive strong consumptions spends in the coming decade. HSBC India Consumption fund will aim to capture this strong underlying growth trends in the country.
