Market Risk. 1.15.1 Market risk, or systematic risk, stems from the economic, geographical, political, social or other factors of the relevant market, and is affected by variables that are related to the entire market. For example, if one invests in a financial product listed in Hong Kong, this investment will be subject to the systematic risk related to the entire Hong Kong market. When any event affects the systematic risk of the market, all financial products will be impacted either in the form of a rise or fall in the prices. This will apply whether investors hold one single financial product or a diversified portfolio of financial products in that market. As long as they keep their holdings, they cannot avoid being exposed to the systematic risk of the market. You should be aware that market risk cannot be eliminated, no matter how they diversify their holdings. You should seek professional advice as you think appropriate or necessary to manage (but not eliminate) market risk, and you should be careful about investing too much into a single market.
