HSBC announced a $150 million Venture Debt offering and a $1 billion ASEAN Growth Fund in Singapore, aimed at supporting high-growth companies. Shares are down 1.34% premarket.
The launch of new financial products indicates HSBC's strategic expansion in financing high-growth companies, which could attract investor interest. However, the immediate premarket share price drop suggests a short-term negative impact, possibly due to market concerns over the risks associated with venture debt and growth financing.

Investors can gain exposure to HSBC's stock through the Avantis International Large Cap Value ETF (NYSE:AVIV).
Similar to GSIB, the AVIV ETF offers a way to invest in HSBC. However, the impact of HSBC's announcements on AVIV's performance is likely to be limited due to the ETF's broad international exposure and focus on large-cap value stocks.
