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 not only base on this material alone to make any investment decision, but should read in detail the relevant risk disclosure statements.

How to use the brokerage fee coupon?
- The Coupon(s) obtained will be applicable at customer level. Each Coupon will automatically be used to reduce the brokerage fee in the next executed buy or sell transactions of HK stocks, US stocks or Stock Connect Securities (each as defined in point 15) conducted in Eligible Securities Account(s) via Invest Express (the “Eligible Securities Transaction(s)”) during the designated period. The offers are provided on a per customer basis and the brokerage fee reduction is applied upfront (and not in the form of rebate).
- In respect of each Eligible Securities Transaction, the actual brokerage fee payable will be calculated by deducting the face value of the relevant Coupon from the original brokerage fee (which is the standard brokerage fee minus any brokerage fee deduction amount entitled for other securities offers during the designated period (if any)). Brokerage fee excludes any custody fee, securities deposit charges, nominee services fee and any third party transaction charges such as transaction levy, stamp duty and trading fee, handling fee, securities management fee, transfer fee, capital gain tax, SEC fee and financial transaction tax etc.
- The Coupon face value is denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Where the settlement currency of an Eligible Securities Transaction is not denominated in Hong Kong dollars, the Bank will convert the coupon value to the settlement currency of such transaction based on the exchange rate determined by the Bank as prevailing at the relevant time for the purpose of the brokerage fee reduction.
- If a buy or sell order placed on HK stocks is partially or fully executed in more than one transaction within a single trading day, for the purpose of determining which Coupon (if available) to be used for that order as a whole, the Bank will count all the transactions for the same order after the relevant stock market closes on that day to calculate the total amount of original brokerage fee for that order.
- If a buy or sell order placed on HK stocks or US stocks is executed via trades across multiple days, trades on different days will be considered as trades for different orders for the purpose of determining which Coupon (if available) to be used.
- Each Eligible Securities Transaction can only use one Coupon. Each Coupon can be used once and not redeemable for cash or credit to bank account. For a Coupon used in a transaction, any unused amount of a Coupon will be forfeited and will not be refunded.
- The Coupon obtained from the same Eligible Securities Transaction cannot be used in the same transaction.
-
For an Eligible Securities Transaction, where the Eligible
Customers are holding more than one Coupons, the Bank will
automatically select the Coupon which is closest to the amount
of brokerage fee payable and has a lower amount.

Important Risk Warnings
Risk of investing in securities via Stock Connect Northbound Trading
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. 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.
Risk of investing in foreign securities
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. Client assets received or held by the licensed or registered person outside Hong Kong 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) and the rules made thereunder. Consequently, such client assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on client assets received or held in Hong Kong.
Risk of investing in Exchange Traded Fund ("ETF")
Investors should note that ETF is different from a typical unit trust and many factors will affect its performance. In general, the market price per ETF unit may be significantly higher or lower than its net asset value per unit due to market demand and supply, liquidity, and scale of trading spread in the secondary market and will fluctuate during the trading day. ETF is different from stocks, investors should read the offering documents of the relevant ETF and understand the features and risks of ETF etc.
RMB Currency Risk
Renminbi ("RMB") is subject to exchange rate risk. Fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that the customer subsequently converts RMB into another currency (including Hong Kong Dollars). Exchange controls imposed by the relevant authorities may also adversely affect the applicable exchange rate. RMB is currently not freely convertible and conversion of RMB may be subject to certain policy, regulatory requirements and/or restrictions (which are subject to changes from time to time without notice). The actual conversion arrangement will depend on the policy, regulatory requirements and/or restrictions prevailing at the relevant time.
Foreign Exchange Risk
Foreign Exchange involves exchange rate risk. Fluctuations in the exchange rate of a foreign currency may result in gains or losses in the event that the customer converts HKD to foreign currency or vice versa.
