Risk Disclosure Statement of Investment Financing Service

PLEASE READ THIS RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT CAREFULLY AND CONSULT YOUR OWN LEGAL ADVISER AND/OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL CONSULTANTS AS YOU CONSIDER APPROPRIATE BEFORE YOU DECIDE TO APPLY FOR INVESTMENT FINANCING SERVICE.

Below are the key risks associated with Investment Financing Service (the “Facility”) which are not exhaustive. The Facility is provided by Hang Seng Bank Limited (the “Bank”).

  • Risk of Trading in Investment Funds and other Investment Products
    You should note that all investments involve risks (including the possibility of loss of the capital invested). Prices of units of investment funds or other investment products may go up as well as down and information on past performance is not indicative of future performance. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling investment products. You should read and understand the relevant product's offering documents (including the full text of the risk factors stated therein) in detail before making any investment decision.
  • Risk of Using Leverage
    The prices of investment funds and other investment products fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. Financing transactions in investment products by collateral using leverage involves significant risk, and losses may exceed the value of your collateral and may affect your ability to repay the Facility. The higher your leverage is, the bigger your losses can be in adverse market conditions. Contingent orders such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders may not necessarily limit losses as market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders. You may be required at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Force Liquidation may result in losses and you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable for you in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
  • Risk associated with Margin Requirements
    The Facility is a financing arrangement with margin requirements. The Available Limit of the Facility is determined by the aggregate of the market value of the investment products charged by you in favour of the Bank as collateral from time to time (“Charged Securities”) multiplied by the applicable Loan Ratio and capped at the Ceiling Limit. The Loan Ratio and the Ceiling Limit are set and may be varied by the Bank from time to time. If unauthorised overdraft occurs (i.e. when the loan amount exceeds the Available Limit) for any reasons, including but not limited to decrease in value of the Charged Securities, change of the Loan Ratio or termination of the Facility, interest on the unauthorised overdraft amount will be charged at the unauthorised overdraft interest rate(s) and you undertake to forthwith repay the unauthorised overdraft amount in cash or dispose of your investments and apply the proceeds towards repayment of the unauthorised overdraft amount.

    If you do not act promptly upon receiving a Margin Call notice and do not take the required actions within a prescribed period, the Bank may exercise various rights, including the right to liquidate part or all of the Charged Securities, and the right to set-off any cash held in your account at the Bank towards any amount owing by you to the Bank under the Facility, in each case at any time and in any way the Bank considers appropriate without demand or notice to you (even if the market value of the Charged Securities drops drastically due to adverse market conditions). You will bear all losses and remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. Commissions, fees and other charges applicable to the Facility may also increase your loss. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
  • Interest Rate Risk
    The interest rate applicable to the Facility is based on Hong Kong Dollar Prime Lending Rate as quoted by the Bank from time to time (“HKD Prime”) plus or minus a pre-determined rate set by the Bank. The interest rate may be subject to change over time. When HKD Prime rate increases, the interest payment under the Facility will increase.
  • Currency Risk
    If any of the Charged Securities is denominated in a currency different from the Facility (which is denominated in Hong Kong dollar), a conversion of one currency into another currency is required and such conversion shall be calculated at the rate determined by the Bank to be prevailing in the relevant foreign exchange market at the relevant time. The value of the Charged Securities and the Available Limit of the Facility may change due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rate.
  • Liquidity Risk
    If the Bank exercises its right to liquidate the Charged Securities under adverse market conditions, it may be difficult to sell the Charged Securities and the selling price may also be affected when there is no or little liquidity for the Charged Securities in the market. You will be liable for the shortfall if the amount of sales proceeds of the Charged Securities is not sufficient to pay off the amount owing by you to the Bank under the Facility.
  • Risk of Providing an Authority to Hold Mail or to Direct Mail to Third Parties
    If you provide the Bank with an authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties, it is important for you to promptly collect in person all contract notes and statements of your accounts and review them in detail to ensure that any anomalies or mistakes can be detected in a timely fashion.
  • Risk of Client Assets Received or Held Outside Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
    Client assets received or held by the Bank outside the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region are subject to the applicable laws and regulations of the relevant overseas jurisdiction which may be different from the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap.571, Laws of Hong Kong) and the rules made under it. Consequently, such client assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on client assets received or held in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

  • Equity Linked Investments ("ELIs") involve derivatives. You should not only base on this material alone to make any investment decisions. The investment decision is yours and you should not invest in ELIs unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the product is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.
  • ELIs are considered as a complex product and you should exercise caution in relation to ELIs. The market value of the ELIs may fluctuate and you may sustain a total loss of their investment. You should therefore ensure that you read and understand the nature of the ELIs and the relevant offering documents of the ELIs (including the full text of the risk factors therein) and, where necessary, seek independent professional advice, before making any investment decisions.
  • Liquidity risk - ELIs are designed to be held to its maturity. You may not be able to sell your investment in the ELIs before maturity. If you try to sell the ELIs before maturity, the amount you receive may be substantially less than the investment amount.

When you buy ELIs, you will be relying on the creditworthiness of the ELI issuer and of no other person. You have no rights under the terms and conditions of ELIs against any issuer of any linked stock. If the relevant ELI issuer becomes insolvent or default on its obligations under the ELIs, in the worst case scenario, you could lose substantial part or all of the capital invested. ELIs may be terminated early by the Issuer.
  • Some ELIs are partially capital protected at maturity provided that you hold the ELIs until maturity and the ELIs are not otherwise early terminated.
  • Investing in ELIs is not the same as investing in the linked reference asset(s) directly.
  • Not covered by the Investor Compensation Fund - ELIs are not traded on any markets operated by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited or any other stock exchanges. There may not be an active or liquid secondary market.
  • The above is not an exhaustive list of risk factors. For details, please refer to the offering documents.

Risk disclosure of Bond or Certificate of Deposit Product

  • Bonds and Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are investment products. The investment decision is yours but you should not invest in a bond/CD unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the bond/CD is suitable to you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. Your intermediary is under a duty to assure that you understand the nature and risks of this product, and that you have sufficient net worth to be able to assume the risks and bear the potential losses of trading in this product.

  • Investors who purchase bonds/CDs are exposed to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor (if any) of the bonds/CDs.

In the worst case scenario, any failure by the issuer and the guarantor (if any) to perform their respective obligations under the bonds/CDs when due may result in a total loss of all of your investment.
  • Renminbi (RMB) is not a freely convertible currency. As such, investors trading bonds and/or CDs denominated in RMB are subject to additional risks (such as currency risk).

Risk Disclosure of Currency-Linked Capital Protected Investment Deposit

  • Currency-Linked Capital Protected Investment Deposit (“CPI”) is a structured product involving derivatives. You should not only base on this material alone to make any investment decisions. The investment decision is yours and you should not invest in the CPI unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the product is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives and you fully understand and are willing to assume the risks associated with it. You should therefore ensure that you read and understand the nature of the CPI and the relevant offering documents of the CPI (including the full text of the risk factors therein) and, where necessary, seek independent professional advice, before making any investment decisions.
  • CPI is embedded with FX options. Option transactions involve risks, even when buying an option. The option’s value might become worthless if the market moves against your expectation.
  • You should note that CPI is not a normal time deposit and thus should not be considered as normal time deposit or its alternative. It is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.
  • You should understand that the Principal of the CPI is protected only when it is held to maturity and you will be relying on the Bank’s (as the issuer) creditworthiness. CPI is not secured by any collateral. If the Bank becomes insolvent or default on its obligations under the CPI, in the worst case scenario, you could suffer a total loss of your investment amount.
  • CPI is not listed on any stock exchange and is not covered by the Investor Compensation Fund.
  • Investing in CPI is not the same as buying the Underlying Currency Pair directly.
  • Renminbi (RMB) is subject to foreign exchange control by the PRC government and thus investors investing in the CPI involving RMB are subject to the currency risk of RMB.
  • Certain Terms and Conditions (including some of the key dates) of CPI can be adjusted by the Bank. The CPI may be terminated early by the Bank. This might have a negative impact on the product’s Return / Coupon (if any).

Risk Disclosure of "MaxiInterest" Investment Deposit

  • “MaxiInterest” Investment Deposit (“MXI”) is a structured product involving derivatives. You should not only base on this material alone to make any investment decisions. The investment decision is yours and you should not invest in MXI unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that MXI is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives and you fully understand and are willing to assume the risks associated with it. You should therefore ensure that you read and understand the nature of the MXI and the relevant offering documents of the MXI (including the full text of the risk factors therein), where necessary, seek independent professional advice, before making any investment decisions
  • MXI is embedded with FX options. Option transactions involve risks, especially when selling an option. Although the premium received from selling an option is fixed, you may sustain a loss well in excess of such premium amount, and the loss could be substantial.
  • You should note that MXI is not normal time deposit and thus should not be considered as normal time deposit or its alternative. It is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.
  • Earnings on MXI are limited to the nominal interest payable and it is only payable upon maturity. As the principal and the earning will be paid in the Deposit Currency or the Linked Currency, whichever has depreciated against the other, investors will have to bear the potential losses due to currency depreciation, which may be substantial. If MXI is withdrawn before maturity, investors will also have to bear the costs involved. Such losses and costs may reduce the earnings and the principal amount of MXI.
  • You will be relying on the Bank’s (as the issuer) creditworthiness. MXI is not secured by any collateral. If the Bank becomes insolvent or default on its obligations under MXI, in the worst case scenario, you could suffer a total loss of your investment amount.
  • MXI is not listed on any stock exchange and is not covered by the Investor Compensation Fund.
  • Investing in MXI is not the same as buying the linked currency directly.
  • Renminbi (RMB) is subject to foreign exchange control by the PRC government and thus investors investing in the MXI involving RMB are subject to the currency risk of RMB.
  • Certain Terms and Conditions (including some of the key dates) of MXI can be adjusted by the Bank in certain circumstances. The MXI may be terminated early by the Bank. This might have a negative impact on the product’s return.

Risk Disclosure of FX and Precious Metal Margin Trading Services

  • The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange and precious metal trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit losses to the intended amounts. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your Account. You should therefore carefully consider whether FX and precious metal margin trading is suitable for you in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
  • Renminbi (RMB) is subject to foreign exchange control by the PRC government. If your Margin Trading Contract involves Offshore Renminbi, you will be subject to foreign control and currency risk of RMB.
  • Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other trading systems or platforms. You will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software, which could result in your order not being executed according to your instructions or at all.
  • Investment involves risks. The above risk disclosure cannot disclose all the risks involved. You should read and understand all the relevant documents and risk disclosure (in particular, the Risk Disclosure Statement contained in the relevant application form) before making any investment decision.
  • If you are uncertain of or do not understand the nature of and the risks involved in leveraged foreign exchange and precious metal trading, you should seek independent professional advice.

Risk Disclosure of FX2 - FX and Precious Metal Trading Services

  • The risk of loss in foreign exchange and precious metal trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial collateral. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position of outstanding FX2 Trading Contracts. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily limit your loss at the designated price. In extreme circumstances whereby the market moves significantly against your positions, you may be required to make additional deposits or interest payments within a short period of time to maintain your positions. If you fail to provide the required deposits or interest payments immediately, your positions under all outstanding FX2 Trading Contracts may be closed out without prior notice. You may be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider if foreign exchange and precious metal trading is suitable for you in light of your own financial position and investment objectives.
  • Renminbi ("RMB") is subject to foreign exchange control by the PRC government. If your FX2 Trading Contract involves offshore RMB, you will be subject to foreign control and currency risks of RMB.
  • Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other trading systems or platforms. You will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software, which could result in your order not being executed according to your instructions or at all.

  • If you are uncertain of or do not understand the nature of and the risks involved in leveraged foreign exchange and precious metal trading, you should seek independent professional advice.

Important Risk Warnings for Securities

Investors should note that investment involves risks. The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.

Investors should note that investing in different Renminbi-denominated securities and products involves different risks (including but are not limited to currency risk, exchange rate risk, credit risk of issuer / counterparty, interest rate risk, liquidity risk (where appropriate)). The key risks of investing in securities via the Stock Connect Northbound Trading include:

  • Once the respective quota is used up, trading will be affected or will be suspended.
  • Stock Connect Northbound Trading will only operate on days when both markets are open for trading and when banks in both markets are open on the corresponding settlement days. Investors should take note of the days the Stock Connect Northbound Trading is open for business and decide according to their own risk tolerance whether or not to take on the risk of price fluctuations in securities during the time when Stock Connect Northbound Trading is not trading.
  • When a security is recalled from the scope of eligible securities for trading via Stock Connect Northbound Trading, that security can only be sold but NOT bought.
  • Investors will be exposed to currency risk if conversion of the local currency into RMB is required.

Foreign securities carry additional risks not generally associated with securities in the domestic market. The value or income (if any) of foreign securities may be more volatile and could be adversely affected by changes in many factors.
