Risk Disclosure

Stocks Risk Disclosure

• Investment involves risk. You should carefully consider whether any investment products or services mentioned herein are appropriate for you in view of your investment experience, objectives, financial resources and relevant circumstances. The price of stocks may move up or down. Losses may be incurred as well as profits made as a result of buying and selling stocks

Unit Trusts Risk Disclosure

• Funds which are invested in certain markets and companies (e.g. emerging, commodity markets and smaller companies etc.) may also involve a higher degree of risk and are usually more sensitive to price movements.
• Credit Risk/Interest Rate Risk – a fund that invests in fixed income securities may fall in value if interest rates change, and is subject to the credit risk that issuers may not make payments on such securities. Price of the fund may have a high volatility due to investment in financial derivative instruments and may involve a greater degree of risk than in the case with conventional securities.
• Counterparty Risk – a fund will be exposed to credit risk on the counterparties with which it trades in relation to financial derivative instrument contracts that are not traded on a recognised exchange. Such instruments are not afforded the same protections as may apply to participants trading financial derivative instruments on organised exchanges, such as the performance guarantee of an exchange clearing house. A fund will be subject to the possibility of insolvency, bankruptcy or default of a counter party.

Bonds and Certificates of Deposit (“CDs”) Risk Disclosure

• Bonds/CDs are mainly medium to long-term fixed income products, not for short-term speculation. You should be prepared to hold your funds in bonds/CDs for the full tenure; you could lose part or all of your principal if you choose to sell bonds/CDs prior to maturity.
• It is the issuer to pay interest and repay principal of bonds/CDs. If the issuer defaults, the holder of bonds/CDs may not be able to receive back the interest and principal. The holder of bonds/CDs bears the credit risk of the issuer and has no recourse to HSBC unless HSBC is the issuer itself.
• Indicative prices of bonds/CDs are available and bonds/CDs prices do fluctuate with market changes. Factors affecting the market price of bonds/CDs include, and are not limited to, fluctuations in Interest Rates, Credit Spreads and Liquidity Premiums. The fluctuation in yield generally has a greater effect on prices of longer tenure bonds/CDs. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling bonds/CDs.
• If you wish to sell bonds/CDs, HSBC may repurchase them based on the prevailing market price under normal market circumstances, but the buying price may differ from the original selling price due to changes in market conditions.
• There may be exchange rate risks if you choose to convert payments made on the bond/CDs to your home currency.
• The secondary market for bonds/CDs may not provide significant liquidity or may trade at prices based on the prevailing market conditions and may not be in line with the expectations of holders of bonds/CDs.
• If bonds/CDs are redeemed early, you may not be able to enjoy the same rates of return when you use the funds to purchase other products.

Deposit Plus (DPS) Risk Disclosure

• Not a time deposit - Deposit Plus is NOT equivalent to, nor should it be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. It is NOT a protected deposit and is NOT protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.
• Derivatives risk - Deposit Plus is embedded with FX option(s). 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 your loss could be substantial.
• Limited potential gain - The maximum potential gain is limited to the interest on the deposit.
• Maximum potential loss – Deposit Plus is not principal protected. You must be prepared to incur loss as a result of depreciation in the value of the currency paid (if the deposit is converted to the linked currency at maturity). Such loss may offset the interest earned on the deposit and may even result in losses in the principal amount of the deposit.
• Not the same as buying the linked currency - Investing in Deposit Plus is not the same as buying the linked currency directly.
• Market risk – The net return of Deposit Plus will depend upon the exchange rate of deposit currency against the linked currency prevailing at the deposit fixing time on the fixing date. Movements in exchange rates can be unpredictable, sudden and drastic, and affected by complex political and economic factors.
• Liquidity risk - Deposit Plus is designed to be held until maturity. You do not have a right to request early termination of this product before maturity. Under special circumstances, the Bank has the right to accept your early redemption request at its sole discretion and on a case by case basis. The Bank will provide an indication of the redemption price upon such request. Your return upon such early redemption will likely be lower than that if the deposit were held until maturity and may be negative.
• Credit risk of the Bank –Deposit Plus is not secured by any collateral. When you invest in this product, you will be relying on the Bank's creditworthiness. If the Bank becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations under this product, you can only claim as an unsecured creditor of the Bank. In the worst case, you could suffer a total loss of your deposit amount.
• Currency risk - If the deposit currency and/or linked currency is not your home currency, and you choose to convert it back to your home currency upon maturity, you may make a gain or loss due to exchange rate fluctuations.
• Risks relating to RMB – You should note that the value of RMB against other foreign currencies fluctuates and will be affected by, amongst other things, the PRC government's control (for example, the PRC government regulates conversion between RMB and foreign currencies), which may adversely affect your return under this product. In case you receive RMB as Linked Currency at maturity and you choose to convert your maturity proceed to other currencies, you may suffer loss in principal. This product will be denominated (if Deposit Currency being RMB) and settled (when receive RMB at maturity) in RMB deliverable in Hong Kong, which is different from that of RMB deliverable in Mainland China.

• Not the same as buying the linked currency - Investing in Capital Protected Investment Deposit is not the same as buying the linked currency directly.
• Market risk - The return of Capital Protected Investment Deposit will depend upon the exchange rates of currency pair against trigger rate at the fixing time on the fixing date.

• Risks relating to RMB - You should note that the value of RMB against other foreign currencies fluctuates and will be affected by, amongst other things, the PRC government's control (for example, the PRC government regulates conversion between RMB and foreign currencies), which may adversely affect your return under this product when you convert RMB into your home currency.
