GEMs Super 15 is an equity portfolio reflecting our best ideas

across EMs

Since its launch in February 2013, our portfolio has returned

26.8% relative to its custom benchmark

Over the past month, portfolio outperformance was 0.9%

EM equities (as measured by MSCI EM USD index) yielded a total return1 of +2.5%

during August and outperformed their DM counterparts. Amongst EM regions, Asia

outperformed (with total return of +4.1%) helped by a strong performance from China

(+7.4%, second-best performer in EM space for the month), Thailand (+3.7%) and

Korea (+3.2%). LatAm (+0.7%) showed a tepid performance during August following

the stellar performance in the first seven months of this year (+33.6%) primarily as

returns in Brazil (+0.9%) slowed. Colombian equities (with total return of 9.6%),

however, emerged as the best performers among EMs last month. EEMEA equities

(-2.6%) underperformed significantly as performance of South Africa (-7.7%) and

Czech Republic (-10.2%) lagged. By sector, IT (5.5%), Financials (+3.9%)

outperformed; Telecoms (-1.8%) and Healthcare (-0.7%) underperformed the most.

The GEMs Super 15 portfolio outperformed its custom benchmark2 by 0.9% over the

past month, taking the outperformance since inception to 26.8% (see detailed

portfolio statistics on page 3). However, on a year-to-date basis, the portfolio

underperformed by 10.0% given the portfolio’s low beta (0.77) to the cyclical rally in

EMs this year. Over the past month, our positions in Moscow Exchange

(outperformed the benchmark by 12.6%), Bank of China (+8.7%), Samsung

Electronics (+5.0%), Lukoil (+4.2%), Sabanci (+2.8%) and CIB (+2.1%)

outperformed, while those in Anglo Platinum (-15.9%), Bharti Airtel (-8.7%),

Nemak (-1.9%) and Ayala Land (-1.5%) underperformed.

In terms of the portfolio strategy, although a little near-term weakness seems quite

plausible, we are highly constructive on the outlook for EM equities – helped by a

stabilisation in the macro cycle, improvement in earnings, inexpensive valuations, not

so strong USD and lower for longer rates in DM. Further, the asset class is for the

most part unloved and underowned. We prefer cyclical themes within the market.

______________________________________ 1 Total return shows the growth in value of a share/portfolio/index in USD over a specified period, assuming that dividends are re-invested to purchase additional units of an equity/portfolio/index at the closing price applicable on the ex-dividend date. 2 Our custom benchmark comprises of equally-weighting the index returns of the MSCI EM EMEA, MSCI EM ASIA and MSCI EM Latin America indices

Super 15 rules: Adjustments to the portfolio will be triggered by changes to analysts’ stock

ratings or strategists’ themes. Changes may be made if better ideas become available – eg,

through the publication of new research or through share price movements.

Methodology: The GEMs Super 15 is an equally-weighted portfolio of 15 stocks with the

principal objective of reflecting the convictions of both our strategists and our stock analysts.

Custom benchmark: Our benchmark comprises equally-weighting the index returns of the

MSCI EM EMEA, MSCI EM ASIA and MSCI EM Latin America indices.

Performance calculations: Performance represents total returns (total return shows the growth

in value of a share/portfolio/index in USD over a specified period, assuming that dividends are

re-invested to purchase additional units of an equity/portfolio/index at the closing price

applicable on the ex-dividend date) on USD indices and calculated by Euromoney. Past

Brazilian Securities Exchange Commission (CVM) Regulation No. 483

Pursuant to CVM Ruling No. 483 (July 2010), HSBC has obtained from the analyst(s) listed above under "Analyst Certification"

Important disclosures

Equities: Stock ratings and basis for financial analysis

HSBC believes an investor's decision to buy or sell a stock should depend on individual circumstances such as the investor's

existing holdings, risk tolerance and other considerations and that investors utilise various disciplines and investment horizons

when making investment decisions. Ratings should not be used or relied on in isolation as investment advice. Different

securities firms use a variety of ratings terms as well as different rating systems to describe their recommendations and

therefore investors should carefully read the definitions of the ratings used in each research report. Further, investors should

carefully read the entire research report and not infer its contents from the rating because research reports contain more

complete information concerning the analysts' views and the basis for the rating.

From 23rd March 2015 HSBC has assigned ratings on the following basis:

The target price is based on the analyst’s assessment of the stock’s actual current value, although we expect it to take six to 12

months for the market price to reflect this. When the target price is more than 20% above the current share price, the stock will

be classified as a Buy; when it is between 5% and 20% above the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Buy or a

Hold; when it is between 5% below and 5% above the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Hold; when it is

between 5% and 20% below the current share price, the stock may be classified as a Hold or a Reduce; and when it is more

than 20% below the current share price, the stock will be classified as a Reduce.

Our ratings are re-calibrated against these bands at the time of any 'material change' (initiation or resumption of coverage,

change in target price or estimates).

Upside/Downside is the percentage difference between the target price and the share price.

Prior to this date, HSBC’s rating structure was applied on the following basis:

For each stock we set a required rate of return calculated from the cost of equity for that stock’s domestic or, as appropriate,

regional market established by our strategy team. The target price for a stock represented the value the analyst expected the

stock to reach over our performance horizon. The performance horizon was 12 months. For a stock to be classified as

Overweight, the potential return, which equals the percentage difference between the current share price and the target price,

including the forecast dividend yield when indicated, had to exceed the required return by at least 5 percentage points over the

succeeding 12 months (or 10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). For a stock to be classified as Underweight,

the stock was expected to underperform its required return by at least 5 percentage points over the succeeding 12 months (or

10 percentage points for a stock classified as Volatile*). Stocks between these bands were classified as Neutral.

*A stock was classified as volatile if its historical volatility had exceeded 40%, if the stock had been listed for less than 12

months (unless it was in an industry or sector where volatility is low) or if the analyst expected significant volatility. However,

stocks which we did not consider volatile may in fact also have behaved in such a way. Historical volatility was defined as the

past month's average of the daily 365-day moving average volatilities. In order to avoid misleadingly frequent changes in rating,

however, volatility had to move 2.5 percentage points past the 40% benchmark in either direction for a stock's status to change.

Rating distribution for long-term investment opportunities

As of 01 September 2016, the distribution of all independent ratings published by HSBC is as follows:

Buy 43% (24% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)

Hold 41% (26% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)

Sell 16% (18% of these provided with Investment Banking Services)

For the purposes of the distribution above the following mapping structure is used during the transition from the previous to

current rating models: under our previous model, Overweight = Buy, Neutral = Hold and Underweight = Sell; under our current

model Buy = Buy, Hold = Hold and Reduce = Sell. For rating definitions under both models, please see “Stock ratings and basis

for financial analysis” above.

For the distribution of non-independent ratings published by HSBC, please see the disclosure page available at
