HSBC запустила первые в мире шариатски-соответствующие акции с хеджированием валютных рисков для фонда Global Sukuk

HSBC Asset Management has launched GBP FX-hedged share classes for it’s Global Sukuk Ucits ETF. The launch is designed to make it easier for UK pension clients to access the fund by helping them to manage exposure in a shariah-compliant way. According to HSBC AM, there is a strong demand among UK pension schemes for more sukuk exposure but with reduced FX volatility versus sterling. The asset manager also claims that the launch is the market’s first shariah-compliant FX-hedged share classes for a passive Ucits sukuk fund. “Investors are increasingly looking for ways to access index-based Sukuk exposure while managing currency risk in a way that remains aligned to Shariah principles,” said Olga de Tapia, global head of ETF & indexing sales at HSBC Asset Management.
