HSBC Mutual Fund Temporarily Halts Subscriptions in 4 International Schemes

HSBC Mutual Fund has stopped taking new investments in four of its international schemes from December 4, 2025.  

The restriction covers the HSBC Global Equity Climate Change Fund of Fund, HSBC Asia Pacific (Ex Japan) Dividend Yield Fund, HSBC Brazil Fund, and the HSBC Global Emerging Markets Fund. These schemes invest in markets outside India and fall under industry-level overseas investment limits. 

What the Pause Includes 

All fresh lumpsum purchases, switch-ins, and new registrations for SIPs, STPs, and IDCW Transfer Plans are now on hold.  

Any attempt to start a new systematic plan in these schemes will not be processed. The fund house has not provided a timeline for when the suspension may be lifted. 

Ongoing Systematic Instructions 

Existing SIPs, STPs and IDCW Transfer Plans will continue to run. Investors who already have automated instalments set up will not see any disruption.  

These instructions will be processed on their normal schedules without the need for additional action. 

Transactions Still Allowed 

Redemptions are fully permitted. Investors can continue to redeem units, switch out, or move between plan options without restrictions.  

Registrations for Systematic Withdrawal Plans (SWPs) remain allowed. The suspension applies strictly to new money flowing into the affected schemes, not to exit-related transactions. 

Scheme Focus Areas 

Each of the 4 schemes offers exposure to different international themes and regions. The climate-focused fund invests globally in companies tied to environmental and climate-related sectors.

Conclusion 

Only new inflows are restricted, while routine redemptions and existing instructions remain unchanged. Investors will need to wait for further updates from HSBC Mutual Fund on when fresh subscriptions may resume.
