In plain English
HSBC Hang Seng Tech UCITS ETF is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) from HSBC, launched in 2020.
It tracks the Hang Seng Tech Index.
You buy and sell it through a share-dealing account or platform during stock-market hours, like a share.
Its ongoing charge is 0.5% a year — about £50 a year on every £10,000 invested, taken from the fund's value rather than billed to you.
Income from its investments is reinvested inside the fund, so it shows up as a rising price rather than cash paid to you.
Technology: Software, chips, AI and other tech companies. One sector only, so prices can move more than a broad fund.
