decision based solely on the information and services
provided herein. Before making any investment decision,
you should take into account your own circumstances
including but not limited to your financial situation,

Risk Disclosure of Investment Funds:
-
Investors should note that all investments involve risks
(including the possibility of loss of the capital
invested), prices or value of investment fund units may
go up as well as down and past performance information
presented is not indicative of future performance.
Investors should read carefully and understand the
relevant offering documents of the investment funds
(including the fund details and full text of the risk
factors stated therein) and the Notice to Customers for
Fund Investing before making any investment decision.
Investment funds are investment products and some may
involve derivatives. Investors should carefully consider
their own circumstances whether an investment is
suitable for them in view of their own investment
objectives, investment experience, preferred investment
tenor, financial situation, risk tolerance abilities,
tax implications and other needs, etc., and should
understand the nature, terms and risks of the investment
products. Investors should obtain independent
professional advice if they have concerns about their
investment.
-
The risks for funds which are index funds include but
not limited to:
-
Tracking error risk: There can be no assurance that
the performance of the relevant fund will be
identical to the performance of the relevant index.
Factors such as the fees and expenses borne by the
relevant fund, the time differences associated with
portfolio re-balancing, the prices at which the
constituent stocks of the relevant index are
acquired or disposed by the relevant fund, the
market condition at the relevant time of acquisition
or disposal, the index-tracking strategies or
financial derivative instruments used will affect
the performance of such fund relative to the
relevant index.
-
Passive investment risk: Fund manager does not have
any discretion to select stocks individually or to
take defensive positions in declining markets or
changes in the composition of the index. Hence, any
fall in the relevant index will result in
corresponding fall in the value of the relevant
fund. The composition of the relevant index may
change and stocks currently comprising the relevant
index may subsequently be delisted. Other stocks may
also be added subsequently to become constituent
stocks of the relevant index.
-
Concentration risk: The relevant fund may be
concentrated in a single or particular sector(s)or
single country/ region. The performance of the
relevant fund could depend substantially on the
performance of the relevant single or particular
sector(s)/market(s) and the relevant fund is likely
to be more volatile than a broad-based fund as it is
more susceptible to adverse conditions in the
relevant single or particular sector(s) / market
(s). In seeking to reflect the weightings of
constituent stocks of the relevant index,
investments of the relevant fund may be concentrated
in a single constituent stock or several constituent
stocks. The performance of the relevant index and
the fund may be significantly affected by the price
fluctuation of one or several of the constituent
stocks of the relevant index.
-
The risks for funds which are bond funds, including but
not limited to the credit/default risks of the issuers
of the bonds in which the bond funds invest, interest
rate risk and liquidity risk etc.

Deposit
-
“MaxiInterest” Investment Deposit (“MXI”) is a

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

-
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.

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

Risk Disclosure of Securities Investment:
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. 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 transient client
assets received or held in Hong Kong.
