Risk Disclosure
Investment involves risks. The prices of investment products fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and may become valueless. Investors should not invest based on this promotional material alone. Before making any investment decision, customers must consult their own independent financial advisors and read the relevant offering documents for further details including the risk factors in order to ensure that they fully understand the risks associated with the investment products.

Securities Trading
It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profits made as a result of buying and selling securities.

Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect
Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect are not covered by Hong Kong’s Investor Compensation Fund. It involves risks of quotas used up, difference in trading day, restrictions on selling imposed by front-end monitoring, recalling of eligible stocks, and mainland market risk.

Securities Margin Trading
If a client maintains a margin account with the Bank, the risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. The client may sustain losses in excess of the client’s cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the Bank. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. The client may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payment. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, the client’s securities collateral may be liquidated without the client’s consent. Moreover, the client will remain liable for any resulting deficit in the client’s account and interest charged on the client’s account. The client should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of the client’s own financial position and investment objectives.

RMB Currency Risk
RMB is subject to the PRC government's control (for example, exchange restrictions). Besides, there is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. If customers convert Hong Kong Dollar or any other currency into RMB so as to invest in RMB denominated investment products and subsequently convert the RMB redemption proceeds back into Hong Kong Dollar or any other currency, you may suffer a loss if RMB depreciates against Hong Kong Dollar or other currency.

Online Investment Trading Services
Due to unpredictable network traffic congestion and other reasons, the Internet and other electronic media may not be reliable media of communication and transactions conducted over the Internet and via other electronic media are subject to: (i) possible failure or delay in the transmission and receipt of instructions for any or all transactions in investment products or other information, and (ii) possible failure or delay of execution or execution at prices different from those prevailing at the time when your instructions were given. There are risks associated with the online investment trading system, including the failure of hardware and/or software, and the result of any such system failure may be that your orders are either not executed according to your instructions or are not executed at all. There are risks of interruption, distortion, omission, blackout or interception during the transmission of instructions for any or all transactions in investment products, as well as of any misunderstanding or errors in communication.

Initial Public Offering
The price of a security may move up or down, and may become valueless. There is a risk that losses may be incurred rather than making profits. You should read the relevant prospectus for detailed information about the proposed offer. You should also obtain independent financial professional advice before making any investment decision. This webpage does not constitute an offer or an invitation or an inducement by the Bank to any person to acquire, purchase or subscribe for the shares proposed to be offered.

Mutual Fund Investment
The past performance of a mutual fund is not a guide to its future performance and yields are not guaranteed. Customers could lose some or all of the principal amount invested. Funds are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Bank or any of its affiliates. The Bank will normally be paid a commission or rebate by the fund manager.

FX Linked Deposit
FX linked deposit is an unlisted investment product and subject to the credit and insolvency risk of the Bank. Its return is limited to the interest payable, which will be dependent on movements in some linked exchange rate. Exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including international finance, economics, politics, central banks and other bodies intervention and natural events, and may rise or fall rapidly. Whilst the possible return may be higher than conventional time deposits, it is normally associated with higher risks. When the fluctuation of the linked exchange rates differs from what the customer expected, the customer may have to bear the loss. While some FX linked deposit types are principal-protected conditionally, others are not principal-protected. FX linked deposit is not the same as investing in its linked currency. It is not protected by the Investor Compensation Fund. If the FX linked deposit is approved by the Bank to be withdrawn before its maturity, the customer may also need to bear the costs involved which may reduce the return and the principal amount of FX linked deposit he may get back. There is no secondary market for the FX linked deposit and it is not collateralized. The Bank can early terminate FX linked deposit.

FX Margin Trading
The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange 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 will be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. Currency exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including national and international financial and economic conditions and political and natural events. The effect of normal market force may at times be countered by intervention by central banks and other bodies. At times, exchange rates, and price linked to such rates, may rise or fall rapidly. Please refer to the risk disclosures in the specific documentation of these products before making a decision to invest using margin or leverage.

Gold Trading
The gold market is volatile and a loss may be incurred from trading gold. Gold does not bear interest. A customer's purchase of gold for the account does not represent a purchase of physical gold or a deposit of money. Customers will not have any interest in any gold owned or held by the Bank, or be entitled to physical delivery of gold. Although investment may bring about profit opportunities, each kind of investment tool comes with its own risks. Due to the fluctuating nature of the gold market, the gold price may rise or fall beyond customers' expectations and the losses may substantially reduce customers' capital invested and earnings (if any). Customers' investments in Gold Trading are subject to the credit risk of the Bank. Before making any investment decision, customers should assess their own willingness and ability to bear risks and seek advice from independent financial advisors. Gold Trading (the "Scheme") has been authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC"). The SFC's authorization of the Scheme is not an endorsement or recommendation of the Scheme nor does it guarantee the commercial merits of the Scheme or its performance. It does not mean the Scheme is suitable for all investors nor it is an endorsement of its suitability for any particular investor or class of investors.
