New Issue: HSBC sells $1.06 million autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium on EM ETF, Russell

By Wendy Van Sickle

Columbus, Ohio, March 17 – HSBC USA Inc. priced $1.06 million of 0% autocallable barrier notes with step-up premium due Feb. 26, 2026 linked to the lesser performing of the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF and the Russell 2000 index, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The notes will be called at par plus a call premium if each asset closes at or above its initial level on any quarterly observation date after a year. The premium is 10.82% per year.

If the notes are not called, the payout will be par unless any asset has finished below its 70% barrier level, in which case investors will lose 1% for each 1% decline of the least-performing asset from its initial level.

HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. is the agent.
