By Angela McDaniels

Tacoma, Wash., June 27 - HSBC USA Inc. priced $3.54 million of 0% trigger return optimization securities due June 30, 2016 linked to a basket of two exchange-traded funds, according to a 424B2 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The basket consists of the iShares MSCI EAFE index fund with a 70% weight and the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets index fund with a 30% weight.

The payout at maturity will be par of $10 plus 1.5 times any gain in the basket, up to a maximum return of 44.81%.
