HSBC Mutual Fund has lifted the temporary halt on new subscriptions for three overseas schemes that were paused in December 2025.
From 18 August 2026, investors can buy or add to these schemes through lump sum, switch‑in, SIP, STP, and IDCW Transfer Plans.
The affected schemes are HSBC Asia Pacific (Ex Japan) Dividend Yield Fund, HSBC Brazil Fund, and HSBC Global Emerging Markets Fund.
However, each investor is capped at Rs 2 lakh per month for all these routes, as per the fund house’s announcement.
The pause was announced on 3 December 2025, and HSBC has now revoked it, enabling fresh subscriptions again.
The reopening is part of a wider easing of limits on overseas mutual fund investments, giving investors more options for global diversification.
HSBC also confirmed that the HSBC Global Equity Climate Change Fund of Fund was merged into the Global Emerging Markets Fund on 25 March 2026.
Before investing, investors should weigh currency fluctuations, country‑specific risks, market valuations, and tax implications.
While international funds can broaden a portfolio, they are not suitable for everyone and can be influenced by exchange‑rate movements and market developments.
Indian investors interested in global exposure can now set up new SIPs or make lump‑sum purchases in the three schemes, keeping the monthly limit in mind.
