Common use of RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS Clause in Contracts

RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS. 24.1 The following statements are furnished to the Client in accordance with the Code of Conduct for Persons Licensed By or Registered With the Securities and Derivatives Commission. Risk of Trading Futures and Options The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or options is substantial. In some circumstances, the Client may sustain losses in excess of the Client’s initial margin funds. Placing contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders, will not necessarily avoid loss. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. The Client may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. If the required funds are not provided within the prescribed time, the Client’s position may be liquidated. The Client will remain liable for any resulting deficit in the Client’s account. The Client should therefore study and understand futures contracts and options before the Client trades and carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in the light of the Client’s own financial position and investment objectives. If the Client trades options, GTJAF should inform the Client of exercise and expiration procedures and the Client’s rights and obligations upon exercise or expiry. Risk of Client Assets Received or Held Outside Hong Kong 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 SFO 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 providing authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties. If the Client provides GTJAF with an authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties, it is important for the Client to promptly collect in person all contract notes and statements of my/our Account and review them in detail to ensure that any anomalies or mistakes can be detected in a timely fashion.
