Supplement dated August 5, 2026

to the Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”),

each dated February 28, 2026

 

Upon the recommendation of HSBC Global Asset Management (USA) Inc. (the “Adviser”), the Board of Trustees of HSBC Funds (the “Trust”) has approved: (i) the conversion of the outstanding Intermediary Class Shares of the HSBC U.S. Government Money Market Fund (the “Government Fund”) and the HSBC U.S. Treasury Money Market Fund (the “Treasury Fund,” and with the Government Fund, the “Funds”) into Intermediary Service Class Shares of the same respective Fund; (ii) the termination of the Intermediary Class Shares of the Funds; and (iii) the elimination of the shareholder servicing fees for Intermediary Service Class Shares and Class P Shares of the Funds. These changes will take effect on or about September 11, 2026, or on such other date as the officers of the Trust determine (the “Effective Date”).

 

Effective immediately, the Funds will no longer sell Intermediary Class Shares to new investors or existing shareholders (except through reinvested dividends), including through exchanges into each Fund. Investors may continue to redeem shares of each Fund prior to the Effective Date.

 

As a result, effective on the Effective Date, the following changes are being made to the Prospectus and SAI:

 

1. All references to Intermediary Class Shares of the Government and Treasury Funds are eliminated.

 

2. The section entitled “HSBC U.S. Government Money Market Fund-Summary Section-Fees and Expenses of the Fund” on page 3 of the Prospectus is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

The expense ratio in the financial highlights reflects the operating expenses of the Fund and does not include indirect expenses associated with the Fund’s investments in other money market funds (acquired fund fees and expenses).

Any amounts contractually waived or reimbursed by the Adviser will be subject to repayment by the Fund to the Adviser within three years, calculated monthly from when the waiver or reimbursement was recorded, to the extent that the repayment will not cause the Fund’s operating expenses to exceed the contractual expense limit that was in effect at the time of such waiver or reimbursement. The expense limitation shall be in effect until February 28, 2027. The Expense Limitation Agreement shall terminate upon the termination of the Investment Advisory Contract between the Fund and the Adviser, or it may be terminated upon written notice to the Adviser by the Trust’s Board of Trustees.
