HSBC FTSE all-world index tracker VS HSBC global strategy adventurous

Just wondering if anyone can spell out the difference between these two funds for me. I am currently drip feeding every month and buying more HSBC FTSE All-World Index (Class C). I originally had the intention of buying into the HSBC Global Strategy Adventurous Portfolio (C) fund but for whatever reason at the time changed my mind. Maybe the fee's were lower? Anyway I have looked at the 5 year charts for them both and they seem very similar. I realise that is not the metric by which one should make investment decisions.

  • The differences in portfolio are easy to check, just go to the portfolio/composition page for each of the funds. One is a global tracker fully in equities, the other is an equities-bonds split 80-20.

    The obvious difference is that the All World fund tracks the FTSE All-World Index so is a 100% equity fund while the global strategy fund is an actively managed fund (albeit based on trackers) with ~20% in government/corporate bonds and property
    The GS has higher charges as you would expect but any performance charts or tables will be net of this

    HSBC GS Adventurous is a multi-asset unfettered fund of funds.
    HSBC FTSE all world index is an global equity tracker.

    The GS fund is lower risk than the tracker.
