第二部份－一般條款

1. 守法律及規則

1.1. 所有有關交易，應受本協議以及（就進行有關交易的該等交易所和/或結算所而言）相關的有關交易所和∕或結算所的不時修訂章程、規則、規例、慣例、程序及行政要求的規限（尤其是就在聯交所進行的有關交易而言，應受聯交所及中央結算的規則、規例、慣例、程序及行政要求的規限）以及受不論是對客戶或經紀實施的一切不時修訂適用法律的規限。當經紀認為適當時，所有有關交易也應受涉及處理有關交易的經紀或其他人士的商業條款所規限。

1.2. 與聯交所及中央結算的規則、規例、慣例、程序及行政要求所提供的保護水平及種類相比，如客戶的有關交易在聯交所以外的巿場達成的話，則客戶可能就該等有關交易享有明顯不同程度及種類的保障。

1.3. 客戶確認：

(a) 如果（i）本協議與（ii）任何有關交易所及／或結算所的章程、規則、規例、慣例、程序及行政要求及法律（總稱「該等規則」）之間發生任何衝突，須以後者為準；

(b) 經紀可採取其認為合適的任何行動或按其認為合適者不採取任何行動，以確保遵守該等規則，包括但不限於調整任何有關帳戶、不理會任何未被執行的買賣指示或撤銷任何已執行的有關交易；

(d) 客戶應負責事先取得並維持為客戶簽立本協議或經紀達成與本協議有關的任何有關交易而需要的任何政府同意或其他同意。

(e) 假如維恩向客戶招攬銷售或建議任何金融產品，該金融產品必須是我們經考慮閣下的財政狀況、投資經驗及投資目標後而認為合理地適合閣下的。本協議的其他條文或任何其他我們可能要求閣下簽署的文件及我們可能要求閣下作出的聲明概不會減損本條款的效力。

1.4. 本協議在本協議解除、免除或限制客戶在香港法律或任何其他有關法律下任何權利或經紀在上述法律下任何義務的範圍內並無效用。如果本協議的任何條文與聯交所、中央結算、聯交所期權結算所和∕或任何有關交易所和∕或任何結算所或對本協議的事項具有司法管轄權的任何其他有關主管當局或團體的任何現行或將來的法律、規則或規例不一致或成為不一致，則該等條文應被視為已按照任何上述法律、規則或規例予以刪除或修改。本協議應在一切其他方面持續並仍然具有十足效力及作用。

2. 交易

2.1. 經紀獲授權但無義務應客戶或獲授權人（如有）的指示進行有關交易（不論是直接或是透過其他交易商或其他人進行）。經紀可隨時或不時對任何有關帳戶施加任何限制，包括持倉限額，而客戶同意不超逾該限制。如任何該等限制已經或將會超逾，經紀可拒絕有關指示，及∕或將有關未完成的有關交易進行平倉。經紀可行使其絕對酌情權拒絕執行客戶的任何指示，並毋須提供任何原因，尤其當有賣盤時，缺乏持有足夠證券的證據，或遇買盤時，缺乏持有足夠資金的證據。無論如何，經紀無須就因或與經紀拒絕執行該等指示或不向客戶作出相關通知，而引起或有關之利益損失，或招致客戶損害、責任或支出，而承擔任何責任。

2.2. 就根據本協議進行的有關交易，經紀應以客戶的代理人身份行事，而非主事人身份，但經紀向客戶提供相反的通知以表不同（買賣單據上列明或以其他方式表示）除外。

2.3. 如沽售指示的有關證券並非客戶擁有（即賣空），客戶須通知經紀；如有需要，客戶須向經紀提供證券及期貨條例規定的保證。

2.4. 由於任何有關交易所的實質限制或由於經常發生非常急促的證券價格變化，在某些情況下提供價格或進行買賣時可能會出現延誤。經紀可能不能經常按於任何特定時間報出的價格或費率或按「最佳價」或按「巿價」進行交易。經紀毋須就其沒有或未能遵守其代表客戶承擔的任何限價指示的條款或在本條款預期發生的情況下而引起的任何損失承擔任何責任。如果經紀因任何原因未能全部履行客戶的買賣指示，其可酌情決定只履行部分指示而已，當客戶作出執行買賣指示的要求，其在任何情況下均應接受經紀執行買賣指示的結果並受該結果的約束。

2.5. 客戶明暸當指示一經作出之後客戶未必能取消及更改該指示。故此客戶在發出指示時，應審慎行事，並願承擔就處理其取消或更改指示時，已經部份或全部執行之有關交易所引致的所有責任。

2.6. 客戶特此承認，經紀及其董事、僱員或其相關聯人士可不時以他們本身的帳戶進行交易及（如屬經紀）以維恩的帳戶進行交易。並且，客戶承認就收取任何指示或代客戶進行的交易，經紀可能存在重大利益、關係或安排。尤其是經紀可在無須知會客戶的情況下：

(a) 透過維恩為客戶進行有關交易；

(b) （受制於第 2.2 條的規定）以主事人身份為經紀及其相關人士（包括但不限於任何維恩、其僱員或董事）與客戶進行有關交易；

(d) 將客戶的買賣盤與經紀的其他客戶的買賣盤進行配對；及∕或

(e) 將客戶與經紀本身、維恩或經紀的其他客戶的買賣盤，合併一起，以便執行；以及經紀或其相關人士不需就與其上述事項有關取得的任何利潤或利益向客戶或第三者作出交代。如上述（d）段中，達成交易的證券不足以應付所有經合併的買賣盤，經紀在適當地考慮市場慣例及客戶的公平後，有絕對酌情權在有關客戶、經紀及維恩之間分配該等交易。客戶確認和同意上述合併及/或分配會在若干情況下對客戶可能產生有利的情形而在其他情況下對客戶可能產生不利的情形。

2.7. 一切買賣指示須由客戶當面或電話口授、或以書面用郵寄、親手遞送或透過傳真或電子媒介（適用於附有電子交易服務的有關賬戶）的傳送而作出的，其風險概由客戶承擔。經紀有權根據其有理由相信來自客戶的指示行事，並無責任查證發出指示的人士的身份。對於經紀因其不能控制的任何原因（包括但不限於傳送或電腦）延誤、錯誤或遺漏、罷工及類似的工業行動或任何交易商、交易所或結算所沒有履行其義務，而沒有履行在其本協議下的義務，經紀無須負責。並且客戶特此確認並同意，其應就以客戶名義作出或訂立

的一切允諾、債務及任何其他義務向經紀負責，不論該等允諾、債務及任何其他義務是以書面或口頭形式發出和以何種方式傳達及宣稱已按上述情況發出。倘若經紀收到互相抵觸的指示時，經紀可拒絕執行任何此等指示，直至接到明確的指示為止。

2.8. 客戶明白並確認，其同意經紀可以將經紀與客戶之間的談話（不論該談話是透過電話或以任何其他媒介或以錄音帶、電子方法或其他方式）進行錄音，使經紀能夠核證監控或記錄有關任何事項的資料。

2.9. 當經紀收到可在一個以上的交易所執行的一切買賣指示，經紀有權選擇在任何交易所執行。經紀也有權將客戶的指示委派其他交易商執行而無須通知客戶。

2.10. 除非客戶向經紀另有指明，客戶的買賣盤只會在落盤當日整日有效，而於有關交易所的當日營業結束時，尚未完成部份，將會自動取消。

2.11. 經紀於完成執行客戶的買賣盤後，將會向客戶發出有關交易的交易確認書及結算單（惟須遵守電子交易服務之附加條款中第 2.7

條），扼要列出有關交易及有關帳戶的證券及現金狀況。如果該等交易確認書或結算單傳送給客戶後三個營業日內，客戶沒有以書面形式向經紀的辦事處發出掛號郵件提出異議，該等確認書及結算單便對客戶即具決定性和約束力。但如果有關月份內帳戶中沒有交易或收入或支出項目，且有關帳戶沒有存有未償餘額或持有證券，經紀無須向客戶提供有關月結單。

2.12. 在受適用法律及規例制約的前提下，經紀會恰當地考慮收到客戶們指令的順序之後，可以全權決定執行指令的先後次序，就經紀執行收到的任何指令而言，客戶不得針對另一客戶被賦予優先權而作出索償。

2.13. 如果經紀有向客戶提供有關衍生產品（包括期權）的服務，經紀須按照客戶的要求向客戶提供有關產品的規格、任何發售文件的副本，以及其他要約文件。

2.14. 客戶須就其向經紀作出的指示，作出客戶個人的獨立判斷及決定。

3. 交收

3.1. 就每宗有關交易而言，除非另有協議或經紀已經代客戶持有足以用作交收的現金或證券，否則，客戶須於經紀已經就有關交易通知客戶的交收時限前（不管口頭或書面）：

(a) 支付經紀可即時動用的資金或將證券以可交付之形式交付經紀；或

(b) 以其他方式確保經紀已經收到此資金或證券。

3.2. 除非另有協定，客戶同意，倘若客戶未有按照第 3.1 條在到期時限前付款予或將證券交付經紀，經紀於此獲授權：

(a) 若為買入交易，轉讓或出售任何此等購入之證券；及

(b) 若為賣出交易，借入及∕或購入此等出售之證券，以完成有關交易。

3.3. 客戶於此確認，由於客戶未能按第 3.1 條規定在到期時限前履行責任而導致經紀承擔任何損失、費用、收費和開支，客戶必須就此向經紀負責。

4. 帳戶中的款項

4.1. 客戶於帳戶中款項（在解除客戶欠經紀的所有債務後）所獲取的對待及處理須符合證券及期貨條例的規定。經紀代客戶於香港收取並持有的有關款項（在解除客戶欠經紀的所有債務後（包括但不限於由交收有關交易所引致的債務））將被存入經紀在認可財務機構或獲證監員會批准的任何其他人士處在香港維持指明為信託帳戶或客戶帳戶的獨立帳戶。經紀可根據證券及期貨條例的規定，按照常設授權，從獨立帳戶中提取客戶的款項。

4.2. 只要客戶仍欠經紀任何債項時，經紀有權拒絕客戶提取款項的要求，以及客戶在未獲經紀事先同意時，無權提取任何款項。

4.3. 經紀並不會向客戶支付有關帳戶中的客戶款項所累計的利息，該等利息按經紀不時以其絶對的酌情權決定利率（會參考當時市場利率）計算。

4.4. 在不損害經紀可能享有的任何其他權利和補償的情況下，經紀獲授權處置，不時經紀由客戶收取或代客戶持有的證劵（經紀絕對有權決定處置那一類證劵及有關數量），以履行客戶對經紀或其他第三人負有的法律責任。

4.5. 在不損害經紀根據第 7 條可享有的權利和補償，就有關帳戶中客戶應收取款項（包括由賣出證券而產生的款項）及有關帳戶中客戶應支付款項（包括由買入證券而產生的款項），客戶謹此授權經紀將上述兩類款項互相抵銷。就此，經紀可以滾轉餘額形式記錄有關帳戶中的有關交易款項。

5. 收費及費用

5.1. 客戶同意按照經紀不時釐定的比率，支付經紀關於有關交易（包括任何根據第 6 條進行的交易）之所有佣金和其他報酬。客戶亦同意按足額彌償基準，償還經紀關於有關交易之一切相關徵費（包括但不限於交易所、結算所及證監會徵收之費用）、支出和其他收費。佣金率會不時變動，而客戶亦可聯絡經紀了解有關變動。經紀可因應客戶的要求所提供的特別服務而釐定及收取額外費用。

5.2. 除了根據第 5.1 條應付的費用外，客戶並同意向經紀支付下列費用：

(a) 依照經紀訂明之訂購、服務及使用費用，客戶須預繳該等費用，而該等費用為不可退還；

(b) 任何交易所或其他授權機構收取之任何費用／徵費；

(d) 未結清總額之利息，須根據經紀釐定之利率計算及方式支付，不論以上條文如何，經紀可隨時或以酌情權於任何時間在不作出知會的情況下更改該等費用。經紀獲授權可無須事先通知而隨時在客戶的帳戶扣除任何費用及開支。

5.3. 客戶知悉：

(a) 每宗證券買賣已在聯交所營辦的證券市場記錄或通知聯交所，須繳付投資者賠償基金徵費以及根據證券及期貨條例徵收的徵費；以及可歸咎於客戶的上述每項收費及徵費須由客戶負擔；及

(b) 如果經紀或經紀之關聯人士所觸犯的違責是關於任何在或將會在認可證券市場（根據證券及期貨條例所界定並包括聯交所）上市或交易而觸犯的及該等證券的關聯資產而觸犯有失責行為導致客戶遭受金錢上的損失，投資者賠償基金的法律責任僅限於證券及期貨條例及有關附屬法例內所規定的有效索償，並須受制於《證券及期貨（投資者賠償—賠償限額）規則》內所訂的金額上限；因此，並不保證客戶能夠從賠償基金收回全部或一部分或甚至不能收回因該失責行為而蒙受任何金錢上的損失。就一切在認可證券市場以外之交易所進行的證券買賣，若經紀或經紀之關聯人士有所觸犯的違責，客戶知悉並接納有效索償須受制於有關交易所的規則約束。

5.4. 客戶同意經紀有權以其本身利益，索取、接受及保留任何為客戶與任何人士完成之任何有關交易而產生之回佣、佣金、費用利益、回扣及∕或類似的益處。經紀亦可以行使其絕對酌情權向任何人士提供就該等有關交易有關之利益或益處。

6.3. 依照第 6 條及第 7 條作出任何出售客戶證券、有關抵押品或斬倉時，無論由於何種原因導致任何損失，只要經紀已經作出合理的努力，根據當時市場情況出售或處置部分或全部客戶證券或有關抵押品及∕或將有關帳戶中任何持倉平倉或斬倉，經紀則不須為此等損失負責。經紀有絕對酌情權，決定何時沽出或處置上述有關抵押品及∕ 或將任何持倉平倉或斬倉，亦有權以當時市場價格轉讓給x恩

（包括經紀）任何客戶證券或有關抵押品，如因此導致客戶任何損失，及對x恩因此取得之利益，經紀概不負責。

(a) 客戶或代客戶向經紀就開立任何有關帳戶而發給經紀的客戶資料報表或其他文件中的資料全屬真實、全面和完整的；

(b) 客戶有權和能力訂立和簽立本協議，並且除客戶外沒有任何人在有關帳戶擁有任何權益，除非已向經紀根據第 13 條作出披露；

(i) 客戶以主事人身份簽立本協議，並且客戶本身獨立進行交易而不是作為任何其他人的代名人或受託人而進行交易，而且不存在客戶以外的任何人在本協議中或在根據本協議作出的任何有關合約中擁有或將擁有任何權益的安排；及

(ii) 客戶為有關帳戶的最終受益人及為最初負責發出有關交易指示的人士；

(d) 本協議及其履行及所載的義務不會及將不會違反任何適用的法規、違反公司章程條文或附例（如客戶是法團）、或構成為客戶受其約束的協議或安排所指的違反或失責事宜；

(e) 受制於任何本集團公司之抵押品權益及已向經紀提供的資料，一切由客戶提供用作出售或貸入帳戶之財產（包括不限於證券）均已繳足價款，且具有效及妥當的業權，客戶並擁有此等財產之法定及實益業權，客戶亦承諾在未得經紀的事前同意前，不會抵押、質押或就該等財產允許存有任何抵押或質押或認購權；

(f) 客戶已收到、閱讀和理解風險披露聲明的內容及其擁有足夠經驗，能評定根據本協議進行的有關交易是否合適；

(g) 如果客戶或他們其中之一是法團（就該人而言） :

(i) 其為根據其註冊成立所在國的法律正式組建和合法存在的公司，並且其為在其他進行業務所在的每一其他國家的公司；

(ii) 本協議經由客戶的有關公司行動有效地批准，並在簽署和交付時將按本協議的條款構成客戶的有效和具約束力的義務；

(iii) 交付給經紀的客戶的公司註冊證明書或註冊證明書、章程、規程或組織大綱和組織細則或構成或規定其組成的其他文據以及董事會決議的各自之經核證的真實副本，均是真實和準確的並仍然有效；及

(iv) 並未曾採取，或目前沒有採取任何步驟，以就客戶的資產委任接管人和∕或管理人或清盤人或對客戶進行清盤；

(h) 如果客戶或其中之一是個人，客戶在法律上能夠有效地簽訂和履行本協議，並且精神健全及有法律資格，而且不是破產人；及

(i) 如果客戶是合夥商號並以一個商號的名義經營業務，本協議就一目的而言應繼續有效並具有約束力，即使因引入新的合夥人或因當其時經營業務或組成商號的任何合夥人去世、精神紊亂或破產或退休或其他原因使合夥商號或商號的結構發生任何變化亦然。

11.2. 客戶承諾，在本協議和∕或客戶資料報表中提供的資料發生任何實質性變更時立即通知經紀，客戶尤其同意當客戶之通訊地址及聯絡資料有變更時，客戶須即時通知經紀有關變更。倘經紀在七（7）日內仍未能以客戶提供之最新聯絡資料與客戶聯絡以行使或履行根據本協議之權利或義務，客戶同意此事構成證明客戶嚴重違反本協議條款之充分證據，並成為一項失責事件（見第 6.1（g）條）。

11.3. 經紀將把下列各項的實質性變更通知客戶：（a）其業務名稱和地址；（b）其在證監會的註冊狀況及其 CE 編號；（c）其提供的服務性質的說明；或（d）應付給經紀之報酬的說明和支付基準。

12. 向客戶提供資訊

12.1. 經紀可透過印本、談話、電子媒介、其網站或其他方式（不論書面或口頭形式）向客戶提供金融市場的資料、報價、新聞、研究或其他資訊，包括圖形圖像（統稱「有關資訊」）。客戶確認有關資訊的產權屬於維恩、其資訊提供者或其特許人（統稱「資訊提供

者」），並且受適用的版權及其他知識產權法律所保護。

12.2. 客戶確認資訊提供者不就有關資訊作出任何類別的任何聲明或保證（包括但不限於可商售性保證或適合某一特定用途保證）以及不會確保有關資訊的及時性、次序、準確性、足夠或全面性，尤其由於市場波動或傳送數據之延誤有關資訊中投資產品的市場報價未必實時。雖然經紀相信該等數據為可靠，但經紀未就此作出獨立核證其資料正確或完全。客戶不應認為經紀對該筆數據作出任何推薦或讚許。

12.3. 客戶確認和同意有關資訊的提供是僅為參閱之用，不應該用以作出商業或投資以及其他類別的決定之根據。資訊提供者不會就任何人士依賴該等有關資訊行事或不行事而引致的任何損失或損害賠償或承擔任何責任。

13. 客戶資料之披露

13.1. 根據本協議條文，經紀必須為帳戶內的資料保密。客戶確認根據有關市埸和交易所、規則和監管之條文下，在聯交所、證監會或其他香港的監管機構（「有關監管機構」）的法律要求下，經紀需透露有關帳戶中交易的詳情、客戶姓名或名稱、受益人身份和客戶的其他資料，客戶同意提供該等資料予經紀以符合有關要求。

13.2. 沒有限制任何於第 13.1 條的披露，客戶茲不可撤銷地授權經紀和其維恩證券成員，在有關監管機構要求以協助其調查或查詢或司法管轄權之法院要求或為公眾利益或為經紀或客戶的利益或客戶作出明示或暗示同情的情況下，有權在無須通知客戶及獲其同意的情況下，向任何人披露有關帳戶資料、報告、記錄或屬於有關帳戶的文件和其他合適資料，且經紀可適當地製造一份有關客戶和客戶帳戶的電腦記錄或其他文件。

13.3. 客戶亦同意經紀可於本協議繼續有效時或終止後，在毋須通知客戶的情況下，披露任何有關客戶和有關帳戶的資料給予任何其他維恩證券成員或任何根據本協議賦予經紀的任何權利或義務的承讓人。

13.4. 客戶須應有關監管機構之要求，向其提供以下人士或實體有關其身分、地址及聯絡詳情（「身分詳情」）之資料：

(a) 客戶本人；或

(b) 就有關交易而言，最終負責最初發出該等交易的指示的人士或實體；或

13.5. 在沒有損害第 13.4 條條款下，若果客戶執行其客戶之交易，不論是全權委託或不是全權委託，不論作為代理人或以主事人身份去進行交易，客戶同意在有關交易被任何香港監管機構諮詢時，如下條款將會適用：

(a) 根據以下條款，在經紀要求下，客戶必須立即通知有關監管機構客戶或（客戶所知悉的）帳戶最終受益人的身分詳情。客戶必須通知有關監管機構有關任何最初發出交易指示的第三者（若果與客戶／最終受益人不同）的身分詳情。

(b) 如客戶進行的交易屬於集體投資計劃，客戶必須

(i) 立即按經紀要求通知有關監管機構有關該計劃、委托或信託的執行人的身分詳情；或

(ii) 盡快通知經紀當其為該計劃、帳戶或信託投資的酌情權已被否決。如客戶的投資酌情權被否決，客戶必須按經紀要求通知有關監管機構該執行人的身分詳情。

(d) 如客戶注意到其相關客戶亦為某些指定客戶的中介人，而客戶對這些指定客戶的身分詳情確不認識，客戶須確定：

(i) 客戶與其相關客戶達成有法律約束力的安排，容許客戶透過要求或促使其相關客戶提供，以獲得根據第 13.5（a）、13.5

（b）及／或 13.5（c）條所概述的資料；及

(ii) 客戶必須在經紀要求就有關交易，立即要求其相關客戶提供根據第 13.5（a）、13.5（b）及／或 13.5（c）條概述的資料。從其相關客戶收到或促使其提供這些資料後，客戶應盡速將資料提供給相關監管機構。

13.6. 客戶特此同意經紀毋須就其根據本第 13 條披露所引發的後果負上任何責任。

13.7. 客戶理解，客戶就開設或維持任何有關帳戶或就經紀或任何其他維恩證券成員向客戶提供服務，已向經紀或其他維恩證券成員提供或可能不時提供個人資料（根據《個人資料（私隱）條例》（香港法例第 486 章）所界定之涵義）（「個人資料」）。客戶知悉，除非客戶選擇提供個人資料予經紀或任何其他維恩證券成員，否則客戶無須提供。但是，如果客戶不提供任何個人資料，經紀可能無法為客戶開設或維持有關帳戶及∕或向客戶提供任何服務。

13.8. 即使本協議終止，本 13 條的條文繼續有效。

14. 外幣交易

14.1. 如果經紀代客戶進行的有關交易涉及外國貨幣（除香港貨幣以外的貨幣）的兌換，客戶同意：

(a) 因匯率的波動而產生的任何損益全歸客戶並由客戶承擔當中風險；及

(b) 經紀可全權決定任何時間和形式以兌換貨幣，以實施其在本協議下採取之任何行動或步驟。

15. 修訂

15.1. 在法律允許的範圍內，經紀可透過按第 17 條規定通知客戶而不時修訂或補充（不論是通過在本協議加上附件或以其他方式進行）本協議的任何條款和條件。如果客戶不接受該等修訂或補充，客戶可在按第 17 條收到或被視為收到通知後七（7）個營業日內書面通知經紀，從而終止本協議。如果在該時限內客戶沒有終止本協議，或如果客戶在收到或被視為收到該修訂或補充的通知後繼續操作有關帳戶，客戶應當作已接受經修訂或補充後的本協議所約束。

15.2. 除第 15.1 條所述外，本協議的任何條文不得予以修訂或補充，除非獲得經紀的授權代表簽署的書面同意書。

16. 聯名客戶

16.1. 當客戶包括多於一位人士時：

(a) 各人之法律責任和義務均是共同及各別的，述及客戶之處，依內文要求，必須理解為指稱他們任何一位或每一位而言；

(b) 經紀有權但無義務按照他們任何一位的指示或請求行事；

(d) 經紀有權個別地與該客戶的任何一位處理任何事情，包括在任何程度上解除任何法律責任，但不會影響其他另外一位的法律責任。不管上述（b）段或任何一位客戶與經紀達成的任何約定，經紀有權要求客戶的所有人士以書面或其他經紀決定的方式，提出指示或請求，否則經紀可以不接納或執行該等指示。

16.2. 倘若客戶包括多於一位人士，任何此等人士之死亡（其他此等人士仍存活）不會令本協議自動終止，除非根據本協議的其他條文終止，但會構成失責事件（見第 6.1（c）條），死者在保證金賬戶內之權益將轉歸該（等）存活人仕名下，唯經紀有權向該已去世客戶之遺產強制執行由已去世客戶承擔之任何法律責任。

17. 通知

17.1. 如果經紀需要向客戶發出或提出任何報告、確認書、通知、任何要求或請求，或因其他原因就本協議需與客戶聯絡，通知（包括催交欠款或抵押品）可由專人交付，或通過郵寄、電傳、傳真、電子媒介或電話發出，在每種情況下均發往客戶資料報表所述的或不時書面通知經紀的地址或電傳、傳真、電郵地址或電話號碼。

17.2. 客戶交付給經紀的通知可由專人交付，通過郵寄、電傳、傳真或通過電話發出，在每種情況下均發往本協議所述的或經紀不時通知的地址或電傳、傳真或電話號碼。

17.3. 一切通知和其他通知，如以專人、通過電傳、傳真或電話或透過電子媒介交付，須在傳送時視為作出，或如通過郵遞方式傳送，投郵日期後兩天須視為作出（以先發生者為準）；唯發給經紀的任何通知或其他通訊只有在經紀確切收到時才生效。

18. 終止

18.1. 在不損害第 6 條、第 15 條，經紀及客戶可以向對方發出事先 14 個工作日之內書面通知將本協議終止。此舉不會影響任何由客戶根據本協議作出的承諾或彌償（包括但不限於第 10 條及第 11 條及第 12 條及第 13 條），或於協議終止當日根據本協議還未完成的權利和義務，上述各項會在協議終止後仍有效力。在不損害前述的原則下，任何終止不會影響終止前已達成的有關交易所產生或與其有關的協議各方的權利或責任，亦不會影響任何一方在該項終止之時所涉及仍未平倉的客戶綜合協議所產生或與其有關的協議各方的權利或責任，直至該等合約已平倉或已交收及／或有關的交付已完成及所有該等責任已全部解除。

18.2. 縱使第 18.1 條有所規定，倘若客戶仍有未償還經紀的欠款、未平倉合約或其他仍未履行之法律責任或義務，則客戶無權終止本協議。

19. 一般條款

19.1. 就本協議所提及的事項，以及有關帳戶的開立、維持及運作的事宜，本協議構成雙方之間的完整協議及理解，並且取代雙方任何較早前表達或達成的聲明、協議或理解（不論是以口述、書面或其他形式表達）。

19.2. 本協議已經翻譯為中文文本，但如果發生任何抵觸，應以英文文本為準。

19.3. 如第二部份 - 一般條款的條款與第三部份 - 各帳戶及服務所適用之附加條款的條款之間產生任何異議時，應以後者為準。

19.4. 在履行客戶在本協議下或與本協議有關的義務時，時間在一切方面是關鍵要素，尤其在指定時限內，向經紀提供足夠的有關抵押品。

19.5. 除經紀獲得相反的明示書面指示外，按本協議條款的規定，經紀可將欠下客戶的任何款項貸記入有關帳戶而支付該等任何款項，詳情在本協議中規定。就一切目的而言，向該帳戶作出貸記等同向客戶付款。

19.6. 客戶就本協議應付的一切款項應不包括一切稅項、課稅或其他性質類同的收費。如果法律規定須從該等款項預扣任何稅項、課稅或其他性質類同的收費，客戶應付的金額在必要的範圍內應予增加，以確保在作出任何預扣後經紀於到期日收到相等於如無作出任何扣除其本應會收到和保留的淨額。

19.7. 任何本協議條文在任何司法管轄範圍由於任何原因被視為無效，只會在該項無效之限下，在該司法管轄範圍內失去效力。該條文將會在該司法管轄範圍從本協議分割出來，因而不會影響本協議的其他條文在該司法管轄範圍的效力，亦不會影響該條文在其他司法管轄範圍的效力。

19.8. 客戶特此宣佈其已經閱讀依其選擇語言文本（英文或中文版本）的本協議，理解本協議的條款及同意受該等條款約束。

19.9. 客戶特此不可撤銷地委任經紀並賦予其全面的權力及權限，作為客戶的授權人（在法律許可的全面範圍內）為客戶及代表客戶執行本協議的條款，並於經紀認為在履行本協議的目的有所需要或合宜之時，以客戶或經紀本身的名義簽立任何文件或文書。授權範圍包括

（但不限於）：

(a) 就任何有關抵押品簽立轉讓契或擔保；

(b) 就任何有關抵押品賦予經紀享有的所有權利；

(d) 就任何有關抵押品發出有效的收取及解除及承兌任何支票或其他文件或匯票；及

(e) 就為著經紀考慮到有需要及應當保障根據本協議的條款所產生的抵押權益起見，一般而言作出申索或採取任何合法的行動或開始任何法律程序。

20. 爭議及管轄法律

20.1. 本協議及其執行應受香港法律的管限，其條文應持續有效，應個別和共同地涵蓋客戶可能在經紀開立或重新開立的所有有關帳戶，並應對經紀、經紀的繼任人和受讓人（不論是否通過🖃併、合併或其他方式）以及客戶的繼承人、遺囑執行人、遺產管理人、受遺贈人、繼任人、遺產代理人和受讓人的利益發生效力，且對他們有約束力。

20.2. 本協議產生的或與本協議有關的任何爭議，應由經紀絕對酌情決定通過仲裁或法律程序解決，該等仲裁或法律程序絕對地對客戶有約束力。

20.3. 按經紀酌情決定提交仲裁的任何爭議應交由香港國際仲裁中心按其證券仲裁規則在香港進行仲裁。客戶特此明示同意承認任何該等仲裁的裁決為絕對和最終的裁決。

20.4. 通過簽立和交付本協議，客戶特此不可撤銷地服從並無條件地接受香港法院非專屬性司法管轄權所管轄。如果在香港法院提出任何法律程序，本協議應在一切方面受香港法律的管限並按香港法律解釋，但條件始終是，經紀有權在對客戶或客戶的任何資產擁有司法管轄權的任何其他法院對客戶提出起訴，客戶特此接受該等法院的非專屬性司法管轄權所管轄。

第三部份－電子交易服務之附加條款

1. 本附加條款之適用

1.1. 就應客戶要求經紀同意按照本協議的條款向客戶之帳戶提供電子交易服務的情況下，本附加條款之條文只對該等帳戶適用。

2. 電子交易服務之條款

2.1. 如客戶使用電子交易服務，客戶承諾其為登入密碼的唯一授權用戶，負責所有使用登入密碼而作出的指示及完成的所有有關交易。客戶須負責經紀給予客戶的登入密碼的保密、安全及使用。經紀可於電子交易服務有關的事項上使用認證技術。

2.2. 客戶知悉客戶指示一經作出，便可能無法更改或取消，故此客戶在輸入買賣盤時，應謹慎行事。

2.3. 對於客戶透過電子交易服務而發出的指示或買賣盤，經紀可以（但無義務）進行監察及∕或記錄。客戶同意接受任何該等記錄（或其騰書本）作為有關指示或有關交易的內容及性質的最終及不可推翻的證據，並且對客戶具有約束力。

2.4. 除非及直至客戶收到經紀透過其不時指定的方式作出的認收或確認（包括但不限於客戶可透過客戶的登入密碼自由查閱網站上的買賣日誌刊登客戶的指示或買賣盤的狀況），否則經紀將不會被視為已收到或執行客戶有關的指示。經紀有權糾正任何認收或確認的誤差，而不應就此招致任何法律責任。

2.5. 如遇下列情況，客戶應立即通知經紀：

(a) 已透過電子交易服務發出指示，但客戶沒有收到買賣盤號碼，或沒有收到關於指示或其執行的認收通知（無論以書面、電子或口頭方式）；或

(b) 客戶收到非由客戶發出的指示或其執行或與其發出的指示不符合的認收通知（無論以書面、電子或口頭方式）或懷疑有人於非授權下登入電子交易服務；或

2.6. 如果錯誤的登入號碼和密碼被輸入超過五次，經紀有權暫停提供電子交易服務。

2.7. 不論本協議中任何其他條款的規定，若客戶獲提供電子交易服務，於客戶的買賣指示被執行之後，客戶須接受經紀可以向客戶發出而客戶亦同意收取經紀通過電子告示方式向有關帳戶、經紀之網站或（客戶資料報表中提供或客戶不時通知）電郵地址發出或通過其他電子方式向客戶發出交易確認及記錄（包括但不限於成交單據及結單）以取代印本形式的文件。於經紀發出該些信息之後，客戶可隨意讀取該些信息。若有需要的話，客戶必須盡速列印該等電子信息或作出其他適當安排，以供其記錄之用。如客戶仍要求以印本形式收取其交易確認及記錄時，經紀可就提供該項服務收取合理費用。

2.8. 客戶同意如其未能透過電子交易服務與經紀聯絡，或經紀未能透過電子交易服務與客戶聯絡時，則客戶須運用經紀提供的其他聯絡途徑向經紀發出買賣指示，並通知經紀其遇上的問題。

2.9. 客戶確認電子交易服務、經紀營辦的網站及其中的軟件均為經紀所擁有或授權使用，客戶不得及不可企圖干擾、更改、改動、反編碼、進行逆向工程或作其他任何改動或未經授權擅闖任何電子交易服務及經紀營辦的網站之任何部份或其中任何軟件。

2.10. 客戶確認其完全暸解載列於風險披露聲明中與電子交易服務相關的風險的含意，雖然存在風險，但是客戶同意使用電子交易服務所得的利益超過有關的風險。客戶現放棄其由於以下各項而可能對經紀提出的任何申索：

(a) 系統故障（包括硬件及軟件故障）；

(b) 經紀接受看似是或經紀認為是由客戶發出的任何指示，但其實是未經授權的指示；

(d) 客戶與經紀的網站或電子交易服務接達被限制或無法進行；

(e) 未送交或延誤送交透過電子交易服務提供或要求的任何通知或資料，或任何該等通知或其所載的任何資料有任何不準確、錯誤或遺漏；

(f) 客戶沒有按照本協議或經紀與客戶簽立的任何相關的協議的規定使用電子交易服務；及

(g) 客戶依賴、使用透過電子交易服務或由經紀營辦的網站提供的任何資料或素材，或按該等資料或素材行事。

第四部份－風險披露聲明

1. 證券交易的風險

1.1. 證券價格有時可能會非常波動。證券價格可升可跌，甚至變成毫無價值。買賣證券未必一定能夠賺取利潤，反而可能會招致損失。

2. 期貨及期權交易的風險

2.1. 買賣期貨合約或期權的虧蝕風險可以極大。在若干情況下，你所蒙受的虧蝕可能會超過最初存入的保證金數額。即使你設定了備用指示，例如 “止蝕 ”或 “限價 ”等指示，亦未必能夠避免損失。市場情況可能使該等指示無法執行。你可能會在短時間內被要求存入額外的保證金。假如未能在指定的時間內提供所需數額，你的未平倉合約可能會被平倉。然而，你仍然要對你的帳戶內任何因此而出現的短欠數額負責。因此，你在買賣前應研究及理解期貨合約及期權，以及根據本身的財政狀況及投資目標，仔細考慮這種買賣是否適合你。如果你買賣期權，便應熟悉行使期權及期權到期時的程序，以及你在行使期權及期權到期時的權利與責任。

3. 買賣創業板股份的風險

3.1. 創業板股份涉及很高的投資風險，尤其是該等公司可在無需具備盈利往績及無需預測未來盈利的情況下在創業板上市。創業板股份可能非常波動及流通性很低。

3.2. 客戶只應在審慎及仔細考慮後，才作出有關的投資決定。創業板市場的較高風險性質及其他特點，意味著這個市場較適合專業及其他熟悉投資技巧的投資者。

3.3. 現時有關創業板股份的資料只可以在聯交所所操作的互聯網網站上找到。創業板上市公司一般毋須在憲報指定的報章刊登付費公告。

3.4. 假如對本風險披露聲明的內容或創業板市場的性質及在創業板買賣的股份所涉風險有不明白之處，應尋求獨立的專業意見。

3.5. 在香港境外收到或持有的客戶資產的風險。

4. 提供將客戶的證券抵押品等再質押的授權書的風險

4.1. 向經紀提供授權書，容許其按照某份證券借貸協議書使用客戶的證券或證券抵押品、將客戶的證券抵押品再質押以取得財務通融，或將客戶的證券抵押品存放為用以履行及清償其交收責任及債務的抵押品，存在一定風險。

4.2. 假如客戶的證券或證券抵押品是由經紀在香港收取或持有的，則上述安排僅限於客戶已就此給予書面同意的情況下方為有效。此外，除非客戶是專業投資者，客戶的授權書必須指明有效期，而該段有效期不得超逾 12 個月。若客戶是專業投資者，則有關限制並不適用。

4.3. 此外，假如客戶的經紀在有關授權的期限屆滿前最少 14 日向客戶發出有關授權將被視為已續期的提示，而客戶對於在有關授權的期限屆滿前以此方式將該授權延續不表示反對，則客戶的授權將會在沒有客戶的書面同意下被視為已續期。

4.4. 現時並無任何法例規定客戶必須簽署這些授權書。然而，經紀可能需要授權書，以便例如向客戶提供保證金貸款或獲准將客戶的證券或證券抵押品借出予第三方或作為抵押品存放於第三方。有關經紀應向客戶闡釋將為何種目的而使用授權書。

4.5. 倘若客戶簽署授權書，而客戶的證券或證券抵押品已借出予或存放於第三方，該等第三方將對客戶的證券或證券抵押品具有留置權或作出押記。雖然有關經紀根據客戶的授權書而借出或存放屬於客戶的證券或證券抵押品須對客戶負責，但上述持經紀的違責行為可能會導致客戶損失客戶的證券或證券抵押品。

4.6. 大多數經紀均提供不涉及證券借貸的現金帳戶。假如客戶毋需使用保證金貸款，或不希望本身證券或證券抵押品被借出或遭抵押，則切勿簽署上述的授權書，並應要求開立該等現金帳戶。

5. 交易所買賣基金的相關風險

5.1. 市場風險

交易所買賣基金主要為追蹤某些指數、行業/領域又或資產組別（如股票、債券或商品）的表現。交易所買賣基金經理可用不同策略達至目標，但通常也不能在跌市中酌情採取防守策略。投資者必須要有因為相關指數／資產的波動而蒙受損失的準備。

5.2. 追蹤誤差

這是指交易所買賣基金的表現與相關指數／資產的表現脫節，原因可以來自交易所買賣基金的交易費及其他費用、相關指數／資產改變組合、交易所買賣基金經理的複製策略等等因素。（常見的複製策略包括完全複製／選具代表性樣本以及綜合複製，詳見下文。）

5.3. 以折讓或溢價交易

交易所買賣基金的價格可能會高於或低於其資產淨值，當中主要是供求因素的問題，在市場大幅波動🖃變化不定期間尤其多見，專門追蹤一些對直接投資設限的市場／行業的交易所買賣基金亦可能會有此情況。

5.4. 外匯風險

若投資者所買賣結構性產品的相關資產並非以港幣為單位，其尚要面對外匯風險。貨幣兌換率的波動可對相關資產的價值造成負面影響，連帶影響結構性產品的價格。

5.5. 流通量風險

證券莊家是負責提供流通量、方便買賣交易所買賣基金的交易所參與者。儘管交易所買賣基金多有一個或以上的證券莊家，但若有證券莊家失責或停止履行職責，投資者或就不能進行買賣。

5.6. 交易所買賣基金的不同複製策略涉及對手風險

(a) 完全複製及選具代表性樣本策略採用完全複製策略的交易所買賣基金，通常是按基準的相同比重投資於所有的成份股／資產。採取選具代表性樣本策略的，則只投資於其中部分（而不是全部）的相關成份股/資產。直接投資相關資產而不經第三者所發行合成複製工具的交易所買賣基金，其交易對手風險通常不是太大問題。

(b) 綜合複製策略採用綜合複製策略的交易所買賣基金，主要透過掉期或其他衍生工具去追蹤基準的表現。現時，採取綜合複製策略的交易所買賣基金可再分為兩種：

(i) 以掉期合約構成總回報掉期（total return swaps）讓交易所買賣基金經理可以複製基金基準的表現而不用購買其相關資產。以掉期合約構成的交易所買賣基金需承受源自掉期交易商的交易對手風險。若掉期交易商失責或不能履行其合約承諾，基金或要蒙受損失。

(ii) 以衍生工具構成交易所買賣基金經理也可以用其他衍生工具，綜合複製相關基準的經濟利益。有關衍生工具可由一個或多個發行商發行。以衍生工具構成的交易所買賣基金需承受源自發行商的交易對手風險。若發行商失責或不能履行其合約承諾，基金或要蒙受損失。

交易所買賣基金即使取得抵押品，也需依靠抵押品提供者履行責任。此外，申索抵押品的權利一旦行使，抵押品的市值可以遠低於當初所得之數，令交易所買賣基金損失嚴重。投資者是否瞭解並能審慎評估不同的交易所買賣基金結構及特色會有何影響極為重要。

5.7. 延遲交收風險

證券莊家可在進行莊家交易時賣空於聯交所上市的交易所買賣產品股份，並申請額外一天交付相關的交付數額。因此，受影響買家可能在沒有被提前通知下於正常交收日的下一天才收到交易所買賣產品股份，但受影響買家仍保留於交收完成前賣出已買入股份的權利。此外，參與交易商的贖回交收過程亦可能受到延遲交收的影響。

6. 結構性產品相關風險

遵照香港聯合交易所有限公司證券（上市規則）規定的詳情，在聯交所上市的衍生權證（「權證」）、牛熊證（「牛熊證」）及其他結構性產品（權證、牛熊證及其他結構性產品）統稱「結構性產品」。結構性產品之發行人有時可能是唯一在有關股票交易所提供買賣報價的一方。結構性產品的價格可急升，亦可急跌，而投資者可能會蒙受其全部投資的損失。

結構性產品須承擔多項風險，包括但不限於以下所列：

6.1. 發行商失責風險

倘若結構性產品發行商破產而未能履行其對所發行證券的責任，投資者只被視為無抵押債權人，對發行商任何資產均無優先索償權。因此，投資者須特別留意結構性產品發行商的財力及信用。注意：香港交易所公司網站的「衍生權證」及「牛熊證」內的「發行商與流通量提供者資料」均載列「發行商之信貸評級」，顯示個別發行商的信貸評級。

6.2. 非抵押產品風險

非抵押結構性產品並沒有資產擔保。倘若發行商破產，投資者可以損失其全數投資。要確定產品是否非抵押，投資者須細閱上市文件。

6.3. 槓桿風險

結構性產品如衍生權證及牛熊證均是槓桿產品，其價值可按相對相關資產的槓桿比率而快速改變。投資者須留意，結構性產品的價值可以跌至零，屆時當初投資的資金將會盡失。

6.4. 有效期的考慮

結構性產品設有到期日，到期後的產品即一文不值。投資者須留意產品的到期時間，確保所選產品尚餘的有效期能配合其交易策略。

6.5. 特殊價格移動

結構性產品的價格或會因為外來因素（如市場供求）而有別於其理論價，因此實際成交價可以高過亦可以低過理論價。

6.6. 外匯風險

6.7. 流通量風險

聯交所規定所有結構性產品發行商要為每一隻個別產品委任一名流通量提供者。流通量提供者的職責在為產品提供兩邊開盤方便買賣。若有流通量提供者失責或停止履行職責，有關產品的投資者或就不能進行買賣，直至有新的流通量提供者委任出來止。

故此，投資者應確保了解結構性產品的性質，及在投資結構性產品前仔細研究基本上市文件及任何發行結構性產品的有關補充上市文件內所列的風險因素，及在投資結構性產品前，（如需要）尋求專業意見。投資者需要清楚了解有關產品在市況極度惡劣或面臨破產的情況下，構成一般無抵押合約的責任。

7. 買賣衍生權證的額外風險

7.1. 時間損耗風險

假若其他情況不變，衍生權證愈接近到期日，價值會愈低，因此不能視為長線投資。

7.2. 波幅風險

衍生權證的價格可隨相關資產價格的引申波幅而升跌，投資者須注意相關資產的波幅。

8. 買賣牛熊證的一些額外風險

8.1. 強制收回風險

投資者買賣牛熊證，須留意牛熊證可以即日「取消」或強制收回的特色。若牛熊證的相關資產值等同上市文件所述的強制收回價/水平，牛熊證即停止買賣。屆時，投資者只能收回已停止買賣的牛熊證由產品發行商按上市文件所述計算出來的剩餘價值（注意：剩餘價值可以是零）。

8.2. 融資成本

牛熊證的發行價已包括融資成本。融資成本會隨牛熊證接近到期日而逐漸減少。牛熊證的年期愈長，總融資成本愈高。若一天牛熊證被收回，投資者即損失牛熊證整個有效期的融資成本。融資成本的計算程式載於牛熊證的上市文件。

9. 買賣界內證的一些額外風險

9.1. 定價結構

界內證的定價結構需要投資者就掛鈎資產估值處於上限價與下限價（兩者均包括在內）之間的價格範圍內的預期可能性準確評估界內證的價值。投資者可能難以適當地評定其價值及／或將其用作對沖工具。

9.2. 固定最高潛在回報

倘掛鈎資產估值處於下限價與上限價（兩者均包括在內）之間的價格範圍內，投資者只會在到期時獲得每份界內證的最高回報 1 港元。因此，界內證的潛在回報是設有上限的。

9.3. 超過 1 港元的交易將被取消

由於界內證的回報上限為固定金額（每證 1 港元），因此界內證的交易價格不應高於回報上限 1 港元。所以，任何高於 1 港元的界內證交易將被取消，且不獲聯交所承認。

10. 在香港以外地方收取或持有的客戶資產的風險

10.1. 經紀或其代理人在香港以外地方收取或持有客戶的資產，是受到有關海外司法管轄區的適用法律及規例所監管的。這些法律及規例與

《證券及期貨條例》（第 571 章）及根據該條例制訂的規則可能有所不同。因此，有關客戶的之資產將可能不會享有賦予在香港收取或持有客戶的資產的相同保障。

11. 提供代存郵件或將郵件轉交第三方的授權書的風險

11.1. 假如客戶向經紀提供授權書，允許其代存郵件或將郵件轉交予第三方，那麼客戶便須盡速親身收取所有關於客戶的有關帳戶的成交單據及結算，並加以詳細閱讀，以確保可及時偵察到任何差異或錯誤。

12. 在聯交所買賣納斯達克–美國證券交易所證券的風險

12.1. 按照納斯達克–美國證券交易所試驗計劃（「試驗計劃」）掛牌買賣的證券是為熟悉投資技巧的投資者而設的。客戶在買賣該項試驗計劃的證券之前，應先諮詢經紀的意見和熟悉該項試驗計劃。客戶應知悉，按照該項試驗計劃掛牌買賣的證券並非以聯交所的主板或創業板作第一或第二上市的證券類別加以監管。

13. 電子交易

13.1. 透過某個電子交易系統進行買賣可能會與透過其他電子交易系統進行買賣有所不同。如果客戶透過某個電子交易系統進行買賣，便須承受該系統帶來的風險，包括有關系統硬件或軟件可能會失靈的風險。系統失靈可能會導致客戶的買賣盤不能根據指示執行，甚至完全不獲執行。請客戶尤其注意以下各項：

(a) 互聯網本質上是一個不可靠的資料傳輸及通訊媒介，而且任何其他電子媒介亦可能如此。因此，在透過互聯網或任何其他電子媒介使用電子交易服務進行交易或其他通訊時存在風險；

(b) 與經紀的網站或電子交易服務接達可能因為高峰期、市場波動、系統故障（包括硬件或軟件故障）、系統升級或維修或因其他原因而隨時及不時被限制、延誤或無法進行；

(d) 透過互聯網或其他電子媒介交易而發出的指示可能不獲執行，或可能受到延誤，以致執行價格與指示發出時的通行價格不同；

(e) 未經授權第三方可能獲得通訊及個人資料；

(f) 透過互聯網或其他電子媒介發出的指示可能不經人手審閱而執行；及

(g) 刊登在經紀的網站的任何認收通知、確認書或其他記錄，其反映的客戶的證券交易指示或買賣盤的進度或該等指示或買賣盤的執行，以及與投資者的帳戶有關投資者的現金狀況、商品狀況或其他資料，未必可以即時更新。上述認收通知、確認書或其他記錄未必反映並非透過經紀的網站進行的交易，如有疑問，投資者應聯絡經紀，以確定投資者的交易的進度或與投資者的帳戶有關的其他資料。

14. 貨幣風險

14.1. 假如客戶指示經紀進行任何交易涉及外國貨幣（除香港貨幣以外的貨幣）的兌換，有可能因匯率的波動而致使外國貨幣兌換上帶來利潤或招致虧損。匯率有時可能會非常波動，而兌換外國貨幣所招致的虧損可能多於交易所帶來的利潤。

15. 槓桿及反向產品的風險

投資涉及風險。不同類型的槓桿及反向產品會因應其產品結構而涉及不同的風險，投資者應審慎參閱相關槓桿及反向產品的產品資料概要及發行章程，確保對有關產品的風險有充分了解。

15.1. 投資風險

槓桿及反向產品是一項衍生工具產品，並不適合所有投資者。概不能保證一定可付還本金。因此，你投資於槓桿及反向產品或會蒙受巨額/全盤損失。

15.2. 長期持有風險

槓桿及反向產品並非為持有超過一日而設，因為槓桿及反向產品超過一日期間的表現無論在數額及可能方向上都很可能與指數在同一期間的槓桿表現不同。在指數出現波動時，複合效應對槓桿及反向產品的表現有更顯著的影響。指數波動性更高，槓桿及反向產品的表現偏離於指數槓桿表現的程度將增加，而槓桿及反向產品的表現一般會受到不利的影響。基於每日進行重新調整、指數的波動性及隨著時間推移指數每日回報的複合效應，在指數的表現增強或呆滯時，槓桿及反向產品甚至可能會隨著時間推移而損失金錢。

15.3. 槓桿風險

槓桿產品的目標一般在提供實現相當於產品所追蹤指數回報若干倍的單日回報。反向產品的目標一般在提供與產品所追蹤指數單日回報相反的收益。不論是收益和虧損都會倍增。投資於槓桿及反向產品的損失風險在若干情況下將遠超過不運用槓桿的基金。

15.4. 反向產品相對於賣空的風險

投資於反向產品有別於持有短倉。由於進行重新調整，反向產品的回報概況與短倉並不相同。在市場波動，經常轉換投資方向的情況下，反向產品的表現可能偏離於持有的短倉。

15.5. 重新調整活動的風險

概不能保證槓桿及反向產品能每日重新調整其投資組合以達到其投資目標。市場干擾、監管限制或極端的市場波動性都可能對槓桿及反向產品重新調整其投資組合的能力造成不利的影響。

15.6. 流動性風險

槓桿及反向產品的重新調整活動一般在交易日接近結束及在相關市場收市前不久進行，以便盡量減低跟蹤偏離度。為此，槓桿及反向產品在較短的時間間隔內可能更受市況影響，承受更大的流動性風險。

15.7. 即日投資風險

槓桿及反向產品通常於一日終結時重新調整。因此，投資時間不足整個交易日的投資者，其回報一般會與指數槓桿投資比率有差別，視乎從一個交易日結束時起直至購入之時為止的指數走勢而定。

15.8. 投資組合周轉率風險

槓桿及反向產品每日重新調整投資組合會令其涉及的交易宗數較傳統交易所買賣基金為多。較多交易宗數會增加經紀佣金及其他交易費用。

15.9. 期貨合約風險

如槓桿及反向產品是以期貨為基礎的產品，投資於期貨合約涉及特定風險，例如高波動性、槓桿作用、轉倉及保證金風險。期貨合約的槓桿成分引致的損失，可能大大超過槓桿及反向產品所投資於期貨合約的款額。對期貨合約的投資可能導致槓桿及反向產品須承受高度的巨額損失風險。在現有期貨合約即將到期，並由代表同一相關商品但到期日較遲的期貨合約替換，即屬「轉倉」。槓桿及反向產品的投資組合的價值（以及每單位的資產淨值）可能在期貨合約即將到期下，因向前轉倉（因到期日較遲的期貨合約價格較高）的費用而受到不利影響。相關參考資產與期貨合約的價值之間可能有不完全的相關性，或會阻礙槓桿及反向產品達到其投資目標。

15.10. 外匯風險

如槓桿及反向產品一般投資於（直接或間接）以其基本貨幣以外的貨幣計值的證券、掉期或期貨合約，以及如槓桿及反向產品大部分的收益及收入以其基本貨幣以外的貨幣收取，基本貨幣相對於有關外幣的匯率波動會影響產品的資產淨值，而不論其相關投資組合的表現。

15.11. 分派風險

以資本支付或實際以資本支付分派，等於投資者獲得原投資額回報或撤回其原投資額或可歸屬於該原投資額的資本收益，可能導致每單位資產淨值即時減少。

15.12. 被動式投資風險

槓桿及反向產品並不是「以主動方式管理」，因此槓桿及反向產品管理人不會在指數向不利方向移動時採取臨時防禦措施。在此等情況下槓桿及反向產品的價值也會減少。

15.13. 交易風險

單位在聯交所的成交價受諸如單位的供求等市場因素帶動。因此，單位可能以資產淨值的大幅溢價或折價買賣。由於投資者在聯交所購入或出售單位時將支付若干收費（例如交易費用及經紀費），這表示投資者在聯交所購買單位時可能須支付多於每單位資產淨值的款項及在聯交所出售單位時可能收到少於每單位資產淨值的款項。

15.14. 交易時段不同的風險

由於海外市場的開放時間可能正值單位沒有報價之時，槓桿及反向產品投資組合內任何期貨的價值及與該等期貨合約掛鈎的任何指數成分股的價值在投資者不能買賣單位的日子可能有變動。海外交易所與聯交所交易時段不同或會增加單位價格相對於其資產淨值的溢價或折價程度。

15.15. 對莊家依賴的風險

雖然槓桿及反向產品管理人須確保至少有一名莊家為單位維持市場而且在根據有關做莊安排終止做莊之前發出不少於三個月的通知，但若單位只有一名莊家，單位在市場的流動性可能受到不利影響。概不保證任何做莊活動均有效。

15.16. 跟蹤誤差風險

基於槓桿及反向產品的費用及支出、投資組合高周轉率、市場的流動性及槓桿及反向產品管理人採用的投資策略，槓桿及反向產品的回報或會與其力求跟蹤的指數的每日槓桿表現有所偏差。概不能保證任何時候都能確切或完全複製指數的每日槓桿表現。

15.17. 終止的風險

槓桿及反向產品在若干情況下或會提前終止，例如沒有莊家、指數不再可供作為基準或槓桿及反向產品的規模跌至槓桿及反向產品管理人訂明的金額。單位持有人於槓桿及反向產品終止時收到的分派，可能少於單位持有人最初投資的資本，造成單位持有人的損失。

16. 人民幣計價證券交易的風險

人民幣證券受匯率波動影響，而匯率波動可能產生機會或風險。閣下如將人民幣兌換為港幣或其他外幣時，可能受人民幣匯率波動影響而招致損失。目前人民幣並非完全可自由兌換，而通過銀行進行人民幣兌換亦受每日限額限制及不時適用的其他限制。閣下務須留意不時適用的有關兌換的限制及其變動。如閣下需兌換人民幣金額超過每日限額，須預留時間以備兌換。任何與人民幣証券交易有關的人民幣兌換將由本公司以主事人的身份按市場當時通行匯率而決定之匯率進行。

17. 投資海外發行人證券的風險

由於海外發行人是受其所屬司法權區的不同法例約束，如閣下投資於海外發行人於香港上市的證券，所衍生的稅務責任或可能因稅制不同而與投資於香港發行人的證券有所不同（如交易稅、資本收益稅及股息稅等）。閣下應按自身情況，就購買、持有、處置或買賣海外發行人證券的適用稅務責任諮詢其稅務顧問，以遵守適用的法律及法規。

18. 行使及買賣供股權益的風險

若投資者要行使及買賣供股權益，應留意有關的期限及其他時間表。未被行使的供股權益在到期時將沒有任何價值。但若投資者決定不行使供股權益並在市場上轉讓這項權利，應留意認購期內設有指定的買賣期，在此之後供股權益將會變得毫無價值。若投資者決定放棄供股權益，其持股比例將會因公司增發新股而被攤薄。

19. 債券交易的風險

(a) 違約風險 - 違約風險指債券發行商未能按合約繳付利息或本金予債券持有人。投資者須特別留意債券發行商的信貸評級。評級較低的債券發行商或更有可能違約，而相關投資者可能會損失大部份或全部本金。

(b) 利率風險 - 這是投資債券的主要風險。固定利率債券的價格會在利率下降時上升。在購買債券後，債券的價格會因應利率的上升而下降。

(d) 流動性風險 - 倘若須於債券到期前出售該債券，你須明白該債券的買賣或並不活躍於二手市場。債券發行商若違約或終止履行責任，客戶作爲投資者可能無法買或賣相關債券。

(e) 股票風險 - 如債券屬可換股債券，可能存在股票風險，並對價格及投資回報造成負面影響。

PART IV – RISK DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

1. RISK OF SECURITIES TRADING

1.1. 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. 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.

2. RISK OF TRADING FUTURES AND OPTIONS

2.1. The risk of loss in trading futures contracts or options is substantial. In some circumstances, 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 avoid loss. 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 may be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore study and understand futures contracts and options before you trade and carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in the light of your own financial position and investment objectives. If you trade options you should inform yourself of exercise and expiration procedures and your rights and obligations upon exercise or expiry.

3. RISK OF TRADING GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET STOCKS

3.1. Growth Enterprise Market (“GEM”) stocks involve a high investment risk. In particular, companies may list on GEM with neither a track record of profitability nor any obligation to forecast future profitability. GEM stocks may be very volatile and illiquid.

3.2. Client should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors.

3.3. Current information on GEM stocks may only be found on the internet website operated by the SEHK. GEM companies are usually not required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers.

3.4. Client should seek independent professional advice if client is uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of this risk disclosure statement or the nature and risks involved in trading of GEM stocks.

3.5. Risk of client assets received or held outside Hong Kong.

4. RISK OF PROVIDING AN AUTHORITY TO REPLEDGE YOUR SECURITIES COLLATERAL ETC.

4.1. There is risk if you provide the licensed or registered person with an authority that allows it to apply your securities or securities collateral pursuant to a securities borrowing and lending agreement, repledge your securities collateral for financial accommodation or deposit your securities collateral as collateral for the discharge and satisfaction of its settlement obligations and liabilities.

4.2. If your securities or securities collateral are received or held by the licensed or registered person in Hong Kong, the above arrangement is allowed only if you consent in writing. Moreover, unless you are a professional investor, your authority must specify the period for which it is current and be limited to not more than months. If you are a professional investor, these restrictions do not apply.

4.3. Additionally, your authority may be deemed to be renewed (i.e. without your written consent) if the licensed or registered person issues you a reminder at least 14 days prior to the expiry of the authority, and you do not object to such deemed renewal before the expiry date of your then existing authority.

4.4. You are not required by any law to sign these authorities. But an authority may be required by licensed or registered persons, for example, to facilitate margin lending to you or to allow your securities or securities collateral to be lent to or deposited as collateral with third parties. The licensed or registered person should explain to you the purposes for which one of these authorities is to be used.

4.5. If you sign one of these authorities and your securities or securities collateral are lent to or deposited with third parties, those third parties will have a lien or charge on your securities or securities collateral. Although the licensed or registered person is responsible to you for securities or securities collateral lent or deposited under your authority, a default by it could result in the loss of your securities or securities collateral.

4.6. A cash account not involving securities borrowing and lending is available from most licensed or registered persons. If you do not require margin facilities or do not wish your securities or securities collateral to be lent or pledged, do not sign the above authorities and ask to open this type of cash account.

5. Risks Associated with Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

5.1. Market risk

ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors, or groups of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. ETF managers may use different strategies to achieve this goal, but in general they do not have the discretion to take defensive positions in declining markets. Investors must be prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/assets.

5.2. Tracking errors

Tracking errors refer to the disparity in performance between an ETF and its underlying index/assets. Tracking errors can arise due to factors such as the impact of transaction fees and expenses incurred to the ETF, changes in composition of the underlying index/assets, and the ETF manager's replication strategy. (The common replication strategies include full replication/representative sampling and synthetic replication which are discussed in more detail below.)

5.3. Trading at discount or premium

An ETF may be traded at a discount or premium to its Net Asset Value (NAV). This price discrepancy is caused by supply and demand factors, and may be particularly likely to emerge during periods of high market volatility and uncertainty. This phenomenon may also be observed for ETFs tracking specific markets or sectors that are subject to direct investment restrictions.

5.4. Foreign exchange risk

Investors trading ETFs with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the ETF price.

5.5. Liquidity risk

Securities Market Makers (SMMs) are Exchange Participants that provide liquidity to facilitate trading in ETFs. Although most ETFs are supported by one or more SMMs, there is no assurance that active trading will be maintained. In the event that the SMMs default or cease to fulfill their role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product.

5.6. Counterparty risk involved in ETFs with different replication strategies

(a) An ETF using a full replication strategy generally aims to invest in all constituent stocks/assets in the same weightings as its benchmark. ETFs adopting a representative sampling strategy will invest in some, but not all of the relevant constituent stocks/assets. For ETFs that invest directly in the underlying assets rather than through synthetic instruments issued by third parties, counterparty risk tends to be less of concern.

(b) ETFs utilising a synthetic replication strategy use swaps or other derivative instruments to gain exposure to a benchmark. Currently, synthetic replication ETFs can be further categorized into two forms:

(i) Swap-based ETFs

Total return swaps allow ETF managers to replicate the benchmark performance of ETFs without purchasing the underlying assets. Swap-based ETFs are exposed to counterparty risk of the swap dealers and may suffer losses if such dealers default or fail to honor their contractual commitments.

(ii) Derivative embedded ETFs

ETF managers may also use other derivative instruments to synthetically replicate the economic benefit of the relevant benchmark. The derivative instruments may be issued by one or multiple issuers. Derivative embedded ETFs are subject to counterparty risk of the derivative instruments' issuers and may suffer losses if such issuers default or fail to honour their contractual commitments.

Even where collateral is obtained by an ETF, it is subject to the collateral provider fulfilling its obligations. There is a further risk that when the right against the collateral is exercised, the market value of the collateral could be substantially less than the amount secured resulting in significant loss to the ETF. It is important that investors understand and critically assess the implications arising due to different ETF structures and characteristics.

5.7. Delayed Settlement Risk

Market makers may short sell units of an ETF listed on SEHK in market making trades and may apply for one extra day for settlement to cover such short positions. Therefore, the affected buyer(s) would receive the ETP units one day later than normal settlement date without prior notice, but the affected buyer(s) retain the right to sell the bought shares before the completion of settlement. Furthermore, a Participating Dealer may have their redemption settlement process affected by the delayed settlement.

6. RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH STRUCTURED PRODUCTS

Compliance with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the listing rules) and the propose of giving information with regard to us and derivative warrants(warrants), callable contracts(contracts) and other structured products (the warrants, contracts and such other structured products are collectively structured products) to be listed on the stock exchange.

The issuer of the structured products may sometimes be the only person quoting prices on the relevant exchange. The prices of the structured products may fall in value as rapidly as they may rise and investors may sustain a total loss of your investment.

Structured products are subject to a number of risks which may include but not limited to the following:

6.1. Issuer default risk

In the event that a structured product issuer becomes insolvent and defaults on their listed securities, investors will be considered as unsecured creditors and will have no preferential claims to any assets held by the issuer. Investors should therefore pay close attention to the financial strength and credit worthiness of structured product issuers.

Note: "Issuers Credit Rating" showing the credit ratings of individual issuers is now available under the Issuer and Liquidity Provider Information sub-section under Derivative Warrants and under CBBCs section on the HKEX corporate website.

6.2. Uncollateralised product risk

Uncollateralised structured products are not asset backed. In the event of issuer bankruptcy, investors can lose their entire investment. Investors should read the listing documents to determine if a product is uncollateralised.

6.3. Gearing risk

Structured products such as derivative warrants and callable bull/bear contracts (CBBCs) are leveraged and can change in value rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. Investors should be aware that the value of a structured product may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

6.4. Expiry considerations

Structured products have an expiry date after which the issue may become worthless. Investors should be aware of the expiry time horizon and choose a product with an appropriate lifespan for their trading strategy.

6.5. Extraordinary price movements

The price of a structured product may not match its theoretical price due to outside influences such as market supply and demand factors. As a result, actual traded prices can be higher or lower than the theoretical price.

6.6. Foreign exchange risk

Investors trading structured products with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the structured product price.

6.7. Liquidity risk

The Exchange requires all structured product issuers to appoint a liquidity provider for each individual issue. The role of liquidity providers is to provide two way quotes to facilitate trading of their products. In the event that a liquidity provider defaults or ceases to fulfill its role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product until a new liquidity provider has been assigned.

Investors should therefore ensure that they understand the nature of the structured products and carefully study the risk factors set out in this base listing document and the relevant supplemental listing document in respect of any issue of structured products before they invest in any structured products and, where necessary, seek professional advice, before they invest in the structured products.

Investors need to understand better how products will operate in extreme market conditions or in the face of bankruptcy, structured products constitutes general unsecured contractual obligations.

7. Additional Risks Involved in Trading Derivative Warrants

7.1. Time decay risk

All things being equal, the value of a derivative warrant will decay over time as it approaches its expiry date. Derivative warrants should therefore not be viewed as long term investments.

7.2. Volatility risk

Prices of derivative warrants can increase or decrease in line with the implied volatility of underlying asset price. Investors should be aware of the underlying asset volatility.

8. Additional Risks Involved in Trading CBBCs

8.1. Mandatory call risk0

Investors trading CBBCs should be aware of their intraday "knockout" or mandatory call feature. A CBBC will cease trading when the underlying asset value equals the mandatory call price/level as stated in the listing documents. Investors will only be entitled to the residual value of the terminated CBBC as calculated by the product issuer in accordance with the listing documents. Investors should also note that the residual value can be zero.

8.2. Funding costs

The issue price of a CBBC includes funding costs. Funding costs are gradually reduced over time as the CBBC moves towards expiry. The longer the duration of the CBBC, the higher the total funding costs. In the event that a CBBC is called, investors will lose the funding costs for the entire lifespan of the CBBC. The formula for calculating the funding costs are stated in the listing documents.

9. Some Additional Risks Involved in Trading Inline Warrants

9.1. Pricing structure

The pricing structure of the inline warrants requires investors to assess accurately the value of the inline warrants in relation to the expected probability of the valuation of underlying asset falling within the range between the upper strike price and the lower strike price (both inclusive). It may be difficult for investors to properly value and/or to use as a hedging tool.

9.2. Maximum potential payoff is capped

If the valuation of underlying asset falls within or at the price range between the lower strike price and the upper strike price (both inclusive), investors will only receive a maximum payoff of HK$1 per inline warrant at expiry. Therefore, the potential payoff is capped.

9.3. Cancellation of trade above HK$1

Due to the pre-determined fixed maximum payment at expiry of HK$1, an inline warrant should not be traded above HK$1. Any trades executed at the price above HK$1 shall not be recognized and will be cancelled by the Exchange.

10. RISKS OF CLIENT ASSETS RECEIVED OR HELD OUTSIDE HONG KONG

10.1. Client assets received or held by the Broker or its nominee(s) 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 conferred on client assets received or held in Hong Kong.

11. RISK OF PROVIDING AN AUTHORITY TO HOLD MAIL OR TO DIRECT MAIL TO THIRD PARTIES

11.1. If client provides the Broker with an authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties, it is important for client to promptly collect in person all contract notes and statements of the Accounts and review them in detail to ensure that any anomalies or mistakes can be detected in a timely fashion.

12. RISK OF TRADING NASDAQ-AMEX SECURITIES ON THE SEHK

12.1. The securities under the Nasdaq-Amex Pilot Program (“PP”) are aimed at sophisticated investors. Client should consult the Broker and become familiarized with the PP before trading in the PP securities. Client should be aware that the PP securities are not regulated as a primary or secondary listing on the Main Board or GEM of the SEHK.

13. ELECTRONIC TRADING

13.1. Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other electronic trading systems. If client undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, client will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that client’s order is either not executed according to client’s instructions or is not executed at all. In particular, client’s attention is drawn to the following:

(a) the internet is, and any other Electronic Media may also be, an inherently unreliable medium of data transmission and communication and that, accordingly, there are risks in conducting Transactions in the Account through the Electronic Trading Service or otherwise communication through the internet or any other Electronic Media;

(b) access to the website operated by the Broker or the Electronic Trading Service may at any time and from time to time be limited, delayed or unavailable, including during periods of peak demand, market volatility, systemic failures (including hardware and software failures), systems upgrades or maintenance or for other reasons;

(c) instructions given or transactions conducted through the internet or other Electronic Media may be subject to interruption, transmission blackout, delayed transmission or incorrect data transmission due to, where applicable, unpredictable traffic congestion, the public nature of the media used or other reasons;

(d) instructions given through the internet or other Electronic Media may not be executed or may be delayed so that they are executed at prices different from those prevailing at the time the instructions were given;

(e) communications and personal data may be accessed by unauthorized third parties;

(f) instructions given through the internet or other Electronic Media may be executed without being subject to human review; and

(g) the status of client’s instructions or orders for Transactions in the Account or execution thereof and client’s cash position, securities position or other details relating to client’s Account as reflected in any acknowledgement, confirmation or other record posted on the Broker’s website may not be updated immediately. Such acknowledgement, confirmation or other record will only reflect Transactions in client’s Account conducted through the Electronic Trading Service and that, in the case of doubt, client should contact the Broker to ascertain the status of client’s other Transactions in client’s Account or other details relating to client’s Account.

14. CURRENCY RISKS

14.1. If client instruct the Broker to effect any Transaction which involves conversion of a foreign currency (i.e. currency other than Hong Kong Dollars), there may be profit or loss arising from the conversion of foreign currency as a result of fluctuations in currency rates. The currency rates may fluctuate dramatically sometimes. It is as likely that the loss incurred from the conversion of foreign currency is greater than the profit made as a result of the Transaction.

15. RISK OF LEVERAGED AND INVERSE PRODUCTS (L&I Products)

Investment involves risks. The risks of investing in different L&I Products vary due to the difference in product structure, investors are highly recommended to read the prospectus and key facts sheet carefully in order to understand the risks involved in a specific L&I Product.

15.1. Investment risk

The L&I Product is a derivative product and is not suitable for all investors. There is no guarantee of the repayment of principal. Therefore your investment in the L&I Product may suffer substantial/total losses.

15.2. Long term holding risk

The L&I Product is not intended for holding longer than one day as the performance of the L&I Product over a period longer than one day will very likely differ in amount and possibly direction from the leveraged performance of the index over that same period. The effect of compounding becomes more pronounced on the L&I Product’s performance as the index experiences volatility. With higher index volatility, the deviation of the L&I Product’s performance from the leveraged performance of the index will increase, and the performance of the L&I Product will generally be adversely affected. As a result of daily rebalancing, the index’s volatility and the effects of compounding of each day’s return over time, it is even possible that the L&I Product will lose money over time while the index’s performance increases or is flat.

15.3. Leverage risk

Leveraged Products typically aim to deliver a daily return equivalent to a multiple of the underlying index return that they track. Inverse Products typically aim to deliver the opposite of the daily return of the underlying index that they track. Both gains and losses will be magnified. The risk of loss resulting from an investment in the L&I Product in certain circumstances will be substantially more than a fund that does not employ leverage.

15.4. Inverse Product vs. short selling risk

Investing in the Inverse Product is different from taking a short position. Because of rebalancing, the return profile of the Inverse Product is not the same as that of a short position. In a volatile market with frequent directional swings, the performance of the Inverse Product may deviate from a short position.

15.5. Risk of rebalancing activities

There is no assurance that the L&I Product can rebalance their portfolio on a daily basis to achieve their investment objectives. Market disruption, regulatory restrictions or extreme market volatility may adversely affect the L&I Product’s ability to rebalance its portfolio.

15.6. Liquidity risk

The rebalancing activities of the L&I Product typically take place near the end of a trading day, shortly before the close of the underlying market, to minimise tracking difference. As a result, the L&I Product may be more exposed to the market conditions during a shorter interval and maybe more subject to liquidity risk.

15.7. Intraday investment risk

The L&I Product is normally rebalanced at day end. As such, return for investors that invest for period less than a full trading day will generally be differs from the leveraged investment exposure to the index, depending upon the movement of the index from the end of one trading day until the time of purchase.

15.8. Portfolio turnover risk

Daily rebalancing of L&I Product’s holdings causes a higher level of portfolio transactions than compared to the conventional ETFs. High levels of transactions increase brokerage and other transaction costs.

15.9. Futures contracts risk

If the L&I Product is a futures based product, investment in futures contracts involves specific risks such as high volatility, leverage, rollover and margin risks. The leverage component of futures contracts can result in a loss significantly greater than the amount invested in the futures contracts by the L&I Product. Exposures to futures contracts may lead to a high risk of significant loss by the L&I Product. A “roll” occurs when an existing futures contract is about to expire and is replaced with a futures contract representing the same underlying but with a later expiration date. The value of the L&I Product’s portfolio (and so the Net Asset Value per unit) may be adversely affected by the cost of rolling positions forward (due to the higher price of the futures contract with a later expiration date) as the futures contracts approach expiry. There may be imperfect correlation between the value of the underlying reference assets and the futures contracts, which may prevent the L&I Product from achieving its investment objective.

15.10. Foreign exchange risk

If the L&I Product’s assets are generally invested (either directly or indirectly) in Securities, Swaps or Futures Contracts denominated other than in its base currency, and if a substantial portion of the revenue and income of the L&I Product is received in a currency other than its base currency, any fluctuation in the exchange rate of the base currency relative to the relevant foreign currency will affect the Net Asset Value of the L&I Product regardless of the performance of its underlying portfolio.

15.11. Distributions risk

Where distributions are distributed out of capital or effectively out of capital, this amounts to a return or withdrawal of an investor’s original investment or any capital gains attributable to that original investment and may result in an immediate reduction in the Net Asset Value per unit.

15.12. Passive investments risk

The L&I Product is not “actively managed” and therefore the manager of the L&I Product may not adopt any temporary defensive position when the index moves in an unfavorable direction. In such circumstances the L&I Product will also decrease in value.

15.13. Trading risk

The trading price of the units on the Exchange is driven by market factors such as the demand and supply of the units. Therefore, the units may trade at a substantial premium or discount to the Net Asset Value. As investors will pay certain charges (e.g. trading fees and brokerage fees) to buy or sell units on the Exchange, investors may pay more than the Net Asset Value per unit when buying units on the Exchange, and may receive less than the Net Asset Value per unit when selling units on the Exchange.

15.14. Trading differences risk

As the overseas exchange may be open when the units are not priced, the value of any underlying index futures contracts in the L&I Product’s portfolio, and the value of the any constituents in the Index to which such futures contracts are linked, may change when investors may not be able to buy or sell units. Differences in trading hours between different markets may also increase the level of premium or discount of the unit price to its Net Asset Value.

15.15. Reliance on market maker risk

Although the L&I Product manager is required to ensure that at least one market maker will maintain a market for the units and gives not less than 3 months’ notice prior to termination of the market making arrangement, liquidity in the market for the units may be adversely affected if there is only one market maker for the units. There is no guarantee that any market making activity will be effective.

15.16. Tracking error risk

Due to fees and expenses of the L&I Product, high portfolio turnover, liquidity of the market and the investment strategy adopted by the manager of the L&I Product, the L&I Product’s return may deviate from the daily leveraged performance of the index which the L&I Product seeks to track. There can be no assurance of exact or identical replication at any time of the daily leveraged performance of the Index.

15.17. Termination risk

The L&I Product may be terminated early under certain circumstances, for example, where there is no market maker, the index is no longer available for benchmarking or if the size of the L&I Product falls below a specific value decided by the manager of L&I Product. Any distribution received by a unitholder on termination of the L&I Product may be less than the capital initially invested by the unitholder, resulting in a loss to the unitholder.

16. RISK OF TRADING SECURITIES DENOMINATED IN RENMINBI (RMB)

RMB securities are subject to exchange rate fluctuations that may provide both opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that you convert RMB into Hong Kong dollars (“HKD”) or other foreign currencies. RMB is not fully and freely convertible and conversion of RMB through banks is subject to a daily limit and other limitations as applicable from time to time. You should take note of the limitations and changes thereof as applicable from time to time and allow sufficient time for exchange of RMB from/to another currency if the RMB amount exceeds the daily limit. Any RMB conversion in relation to a RMB securities transaction will be based on an exchange rate determined by the Company as a principal according to the prevailing exchange rate.

17. RISK OF TRADING OVERSEAS ISSUERS’ SECURITIES

Overseas issuer is subject to a different set of governing laws. The tax consequences derived from trading in overseas issuers’ securities which are listed in Hong Kong might vary from that of Hong Kong issuers’ securities owing to the differences in the tax regime (e.g. transactions tax, dividends tax, capital gains tax, etc.). You should consult your own tax advisors as to the applicable tax consequences of purchasing, holding, disposing of or dealing in overseas issuers’ securities based on your particular circumstances in order to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

18. RISK OF EXERCISING AND TRADING RIGHTS ISSUE

For exercising and trading of the rights issue, investors have to pay attention to the deadline and other timelines. Rights issues that are not exercised will have no value upon expiry. If investors decide not to exercise the rights and sell the rights in the market, the rights must be sold during the specified trading period within the subscription period, after which they will become worthless. If investors pass up the rights, the shareholding in the expanded capital of the company will be diluted.

19. RISK OF BOND TRADING

(a) Default risk - This is a risk that bond issuer will be unable to pay bondholder the payment, contractual interest or principal as scheduled. You should pay attention to credit ratings of bond issuers. Lower rated bond issuers may be more likely to default and bondholder may lose the whole or most of their investment.

(b) Interest rate risk - It is the major risk associated with bond investments. The price of a fixed rate bond will fall when the interest

rate rises. The bond price would fall below the purchase price should interest rate rise after the date of purchase.

(c) Exchange rate risk - Bond that is dominated in foreign currency is exposed to exchange rate risk. Fluctuations in foreign exchange rate may adversely affect the underlying value and price of the investments.

(d) Liquidity risk - In the event of emergency to sell bond before its maturity, there is no assurance that the bond will be actively trading in the secondary market. If the bond issuer defaults or ceases to fulfill their role, you as the investor may not be able buy or sell the product.

(e) Equity risk - For bonds that are convertible, equity risk may exist and the underlying value and return of investments may be adversely affected.
