Speak to our wealth specialists so that you can make an informed decision.

Just a short flight from London and only 14 miles off the coast of France, Jersey is the most southerly of the Channel Islands. Despite its small size, Jersey is one of the world's leading financial centres. It's regulated by the Jersey Financial Services Commission and recognised and rated by some of the world's leading bodies, including the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

Singapore has fast become one of the leading wealth management hubs across Asia and the globe. It's a popular choice among international investors due to its well-regulated financial system and economic stability. It's also easy for non-residents to open a bank account in Singapore and conduct their business in English. Banks in Singapore are regulated and monitored by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country's central bank.

Existing HSBC customers

If you're an HSBC customer, you can open an investment account online, in most circumstances. You can also open an investment account at one of our branches.

Remember that the value of investments and any income they generate can go down as well as up, meaning you may not get back what you invest. Exchange rate fluctuations can also cause the value of your investments to go down as well as up.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can do this online in most circumstances once you have an HSBC personal bank account, or you can do this at one of our branches. It won't cost you anything to open the investment account but other account fees may apply depending on the account and the products held in the account. You may also be charged transaction fees when you buy or sell investment products. If you'd like to open a joint account, you can only do so at our branches.

As an HSBC Jade or Premier customer, you'll have access to your own Relationship Manager (RM) to help you manage your global wealth. Your RM collaborates with a global network of wealth experts to provide investment expertise and insights.

Our 5 key focuses with international wealth planning are education planning; retirement planning; wealth management; personal asset protection; and legacy planning (Jade clients).

Foreign exchange (FX) is the world's most traded investment market, and any client that holds an account with us can transact in FX¹. You can trade in foreign currency with our 24-Hour Foreign Exchange Service to place your exchange instruction anytime anywhere through online or mobile banking.

FX is subject to exchange rate fluctuations, such as exchange rate risk, liquidity risk and country risk. If you choose to convert your foreign currency to other currencies at an exchange rate that is less favourable than the exchange rate in which you made your original conversion to foreign currency, you may suffer loss in principal.

¹Services vary by country and region, so please check your local country HSBC website.

The more you know about what you're investing in the better. Stock prices and unit trust prices are quoted in the newspapers and on the Internet, and you can keep track of spot prices through your broker or your bank.

You should also read through the relevant offering documents before making an investment decision to ensure that you understand the product features, potential return and risks involved. Constant review helps to keep your investments up-to-date. You can consult the bank for a review of your holdings. You can also track and review your investments through our online banking.
