Instructions, to consolidate and/or disaggregate the Customer’s Instructions to purchase and/or sell Securities on the Customer ’s behalf with similar Instructions received from the Company’s other customers.

prices quoted “at best” or “at market” and the Customer agrees in any event to be bound by Transactions executed by the Company following Instructions given by the Customer.

The Account shall be in Hong Kong dollars or such other currencies as the Company may agree from time to time with the Customer. In the event that the Customer instructs the Company to effect any Transactions in a currency other than Hong Kong dollars, any profit or loss arising as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of the relevant currencies will be for the account of the Customer solely. Any conversion from one currency into another required to be made for performing any action or step taken by the Company under this Agreement may be effected by the Company in such manner and at such time as it may in its absolute discretion decide. The Customer authorises the Company to debit the Customer’s Account for any expenses incurred in effecting the currency conversion. The Company reserves its absolute right and discretion at any time to refuse to accept any Instructions from the Customer in relation to currency conversion.

The Customer acknowledges that telephone calls or other forms of communication between the Customer and the Company may be recorded or otherwise electronically monitored without any warning messages and that the record may be used as final and conclusive evidence of the Instructions in case of disputes. While such tapes will remain the property of the Company, the Company will provide to the Customers on the Customer’s request and at the Customer’s expense a copy of such tape. If the Company engages the service of Correspondent Agents, the Company shall be entitled to accept and keep, for its own account, any commission or rebate which the Company may receive in respect of any business the Company supplies to them on behalf of the Customer.

5.9 依据本协议，本公司在进行交易的过程中以客户代理人的身份行事，除非本公司（在有关交易的成交单据中或以其他方式）表明本公司以当事人身份行事。为免生疑问，特此声明：在买卖大阪取引所、纽交所、沪港通、新交所、东交所、TSX、证交所的股票及中华人民共和国 B 股中，本公司将在业务代理维持一个综合帐户。

The Company will act as the Customer’s agent in effecting transactions pursuant to this Agreement unless the Company indicates (in the contract note for the relevant transaction or otherwise) that it is acting as principal. For the avoidance of doubt, in the case in any trading of shares of OSE, NYSE, Shanghai-Hong Kong Stocks Connect, SGX, TSE, TSX, TWSE and B shares in The People’s Republic of China, the Company will be maintaining an omnibus account with the Correspondent Agents.

(i) 将该证券产生的任何股息或其他收益收集及贷记入客户账户，或按客户的约定将有关付款 给予客户。如果证券构成本公司代本公司的委托人持有的、数量较大的相同证券持仓量的一部份，客户有权享有的从该持仓量产生的利益的份额，与客户持仓量占该总持仓量的比 例相同。如果股息以现金股息或其他形式派发，而客户没有事先以书面提出不同的指示， 即等同授权本公司代客户选择及收取现金股息；及

10.5 本公司根据本条为客户保管的证券均为在客户独自承担风险的前提下由本公司代为持有，及本公司不会对客户因此而遭受的任何损失和损害承担责任或义务，除非这类损失和损害是由本公司单方面故意失责 或欺诈行为直接导致并经证明如是。

the Risk Disclosure Statement at Schedule 4 was provided in a language of the Customer’s choice (English or Chinese); and

(b) 已获邀其阅读该风险披露声明、提出问题及征求独立的意见(如客户有此意愿)。

the Customer was invited to read the Risk Disclosure Statement, to ask questions and take independent advice if the Customer wishes.

The Company may change the terms in this Online Trading Agreement from time to time by giving me/us reasonable notice in writing or via Online Trading Services

4. 风险披露声明 Risk Disclosure Statement

1. 证券交易的风险

证券价格有时可能会非常波动。证券价格可升可跌，甚至变成毫无价值。买卖证券未必一定能够赚取利润、反而可能会招致损失。

2. 买卖创业板股份的风险

创业板股份涉及很高的投资风险。尤其是该等公司可在无需具备盈利往绩及无需预测未来盈利的情况下在创业板上市。创业板股份可能非常波动及流通性很低。客户只应在审慎及仔细考虑后，才作出有关的投资决定。创业板市场的较高风险性质及其他特点，意味着这个市场较适合专业及其他熟悉投资技巧的投资者。 现时有关创业板股份的数据只可以在香港联合交易所有限公司所操作的互联网网站上找到。创业板上市公司一般毋须在宪报指定的报章刊登付费公告。

假如客户对本风险披露声明的内容或创业板市场的性质及在创业板买卖的股份所涉风险有不明白之处，应寻求独立的专业意見。

3. 人民币计价证券交易的风险

人民币证券受汇率波动影响，而汇率波动可能产生机会或风险。阁下如将人民币兑换为港币或其他外币时，可能受人民币汇率波动影响而招致损失。目前人民币并非完全可 自 由 兑换，而通过银行进行人民币兑换亦受每日限额限制及不时适用的其他限制。阁下务须留意不时适用的有关兑换的限制及其变动。如阁下需兑换人民币金额超过每日限额，须预留时间以备兑换。任何与人民币证券交易有关的人民币兑换将由本公司以主事人的身份按市场当时通行汇率而决定之汇率进行。

4. 投资海外发行人证券的风险

由于海外发行人是受其所属司法权区的不同法例约束，如阁下投资于海外发行人于香港上市的证券，所衍生的税务责任或可能因税制不同而与投资于香港发行人的证券有所 不同

(如交易税、资本收益税及股息税等)。阁下应按自身情况，就购买、持有、处置或买卖海外发行人证券的适用税务责任咨询其税务顾问，以遵守适用的法律及法规。

5. 行使及买卖供股权益的风险

若投资者要行使及买卖供股权益，应留意有关的期限及其他时间表。未被行使的供股权益在到期时将没有任何价值。但若投资者决定不行使供股权益并在市场上转让这项权 利，应留意认购期内设有指定的买卖期，在此之后供股权益将会变得毫无价值。若投资者决定放弃供股权益，其持股比例将会因公司增发新股而被摊薄。

6. 买卖交易所买卖基金的风险

1. 市场风险

交易所买卖基金主要为追踪某些指数、行业/领域又或资产组别(如股票、债券或商品)的表现。交易所买卖基金经理可用不同策略达至目标，但通常也不能在跌市中酌情采取 防守策略。投资者必须要有因为相关指数/资产的波动而蒙受损失的准备。

2. 追踪误差

这是指交易所买卖基金的表现与相关指数/资产的表现脱节，原因可以来自交易所买卖基金的交易费及其他费用、相关指数/资产改变组合、交易所买卖基金经理的复制策略等等因素。（常見的复制策略包括完全复制/选具代表性样本以及综合复制，详見下文。）

3. 以折让或溢价交易

交易所买卖基金的价格可能会高于或低于其资产净值，当中主要是供求因素的问题，在市场大幅波动兼变化不定期间尤其多見，专门追踪一些对直接投资设限的市场/行业的 交易所买卖基金亦可能会有此情况。

4. 外汇风险

若投资者所买卖结构性产品的相关资产并非以港币为单位，其尚要面对外汇风险。货币兑换率的波动可对相关资产的价值造成负面影响，連带影响结构性产品的价格。

5. 流通量风险

证券庄家是负责提供流通量、方便买卖交易所买卖基金的交易所参与者。尽管交易所买卖基金多有一个或以上的证券庄家，但若有证券庄家失责或停止履行职责，投资者或 就不能进行买卖。

6. 交易所买卖基金的不同复制策略涉及对手风险

(a) 完全复制及选具代表性样本策略

采用完全复制策略的交易所买卖基金，通常是按基准的相同比重投资于所有的成份股/资产。采取选具代表性样本策略的，则只投资于其中部分(而不是全部)的相关成 份股/资产。直接投资相关资产而不经第三者所发行合成复制工具的交易所买卖基金，其交易对手风险通常不是太大问题。

(b) 综合复制策略

采用综合复制策略的交易所买卖基金，主要透过掉期或其他衍生工具去追踪基准的表现。现时，采取综合复制策略的交易所买卖基金可再分为两种：

i. 以掉期合约构成

总回报掉期(total return swaps)让交易所买卖基金经理可以复制基金基准的表现而不用购买其相关资产。以掉期合约构成的交易所买卖基金需承受源自掉期交易商的交易对手风险。若掉期交易商失责或不能履行其合约承诺，基金或要蒙受损失。

ii. 以衍生工具构成

交易所买卖基金经理也可以用其他衍生工具，综合复制相关基准的经济利益。有关衍生工具可由一个或多个发行商发行。以衍生工具构成的交易所买卖基金需承受源 自发行商的交易对手风险。若发行商失责或不能履行其合约承诺，基金或要蒙受损失。

7. 交易所买卖基金即使取得抵押品，也需依靠抵押品提供者履行责任。此外，申索抵押品的权利一旦行使，抵押品的市值可以远低于当初所得之数，令交易所买卖基金 损失严重。

7. 结构性产品交易的风险

遵照香港联合交易所有限公司证券(上市规则)规定的详情，在联交所上市的衍生权证(「权证」)、牛熊证(「牛熊证」)及其他结构性产品(权证、牛熊证及其他结构性产品)统称

「结构性产品」。 结构性产品之发行人有时可能是唯一在有关股票交易所提供买卖报价的一方。结构性产品的价格可急升，亦可急跌，而投资者可能会蒙受其全部投资的损失。

结构性产品须承担多项风险，包括但不限于以下所列：

1. 发行商失责风险

倘若结构性产品发行商破产而未能履行其对所发行证券的责任，投资者只被视为无抵押债权人，对发行商任何资产均无优先索偿权。因此，投资者须特别留意结构性产品发 行商的财力及信用。

2. 非抵押产品风险

非抵押结构性产品并没有资产担保。倘若发行商破产，投资者可以损失其全数投资。要确定产品是否非抵押，投资者须细阅上市档。

3. 杠杆风险

结构性产品如衍生权证及牛熊证均是杠杆产品，其价值可按相对相关资产的杠杆比率而快速改变。投资者须留意，结构性产品的价值可以跌至零，届时当初投资的资金将会 尽失。

4. 有效期的考虑

结构性产品设有到期日，到期后的产品即一文不值。投资者须留意产品的到期时间，确保所选产品尚余的有效期能配合其交易策略。于到期时，若现金结算款为零或负数，投资者将损失其投资价值。

5. 特殊价格移动

结构性产品的价格或会因为外来因素(如市场供求)而有别于其理论价，因此实际成交价可以高过亦可以低过理论价。

6. 外汇风险

若投资者所买卖结构性产品的相关资产并非以港币为单位，其尚要面对外汇风险。货币兑换率的波动可对相关资产的价值造成负面影响，連带影响结构性产品的价格。

7. 流通量风险

联交所规定所有结构性产品发行商要为每一只个别产品委任一名流通量提供者。流通量提供者的职责在为产品提供两边开盘方便买卖。若有流通量提供者失责或停止履行职 责，有关产品的投资者或就不能进行买卖，直至有新的流通量提供者委任出来止。

故此，投资者应确保了解结构性产品的性质，及在投资结构性产品前仔细研究基本上市文件及任何发行结构性产品的有关补充上市文件内所列的风险因素，及在投资结构性产品前，（如需要） 寻求专业意見。

投资者需要清楚了解有关产品在市况极度惡劣或面临破产的情况下，构成一般无抵押合约的责任。

8. 买卖牛熊证的额外风险

1. 强制收回风险

投资者买卖牛熊证，须留意牛熊证可以即日「取消」或强制收回的特色。若牛熊证的相关资产值等同上市档所述的强制收回价/水平，牛熊证即停止买卖。届时，投资者只能 收回已停止买卖的牛熊证由产品发行商按上市文件所述计算出来的剩余价值(注意：剩余价值可以是零)。

2. 融资成本

牛熊证的发行价已包括融资成本。融资成本会随牛熊证接近到期日而逐渐减少。牛熊证的年期愈长，总融资成本愈高。若一天牛熊证被收回，投资者即损失牛熊证整个有效 期的融资成本。融资成本的计算程序载于牛熊证的上市档。

9. 买卖衍生权证的额外风险

1. 时间损耗风险

假若其他情况不变，衍生权证愈接近到期日，价值会愈低，因此不能视为长线投资。

2. 波幅风险

衍生权证的价格可随相关资产价格的引申波幅而升跌，投资者须注意相关资产的波幅。

10. 投资美国交易所上市或场外交易证券或美国衍生工具的风险

阁下在投资任何受美国法律规管市场的证券或证券相类的工具前，应先了解适用于该等交易的美国规例。美国法律通常适用于美国市场交易，无论客户所属的国家法律是否 亦同时适用。

有众多（但此非指全部）股票，债券及期权均在美国证券交易所挂牌及交易。纳斯达克以往是交易商之间的场外交易市场，现亦已成为一家美国交易所。就在交易所上市的 股票，债券及期权而言，每家交易所会发有补充美国证券交易委员会规例的规例，以保障在该交易所进行买卖证券的个人及机构。

无论阁下意欲投资在美国交易所挂牌的证券、场外交易证券或衍生工具，客户应了解监管拟进行交易之市场的有关规例。投资于没有顸在交易所挂牌要求的衍生工具会倾向 使风险增加及衍生工具市场的性质倾向使风险进一步增加。

市场数据如报价，交易量及市场大小可能或未必与纳斯达克或挂牌证券预期般一样保持现况更新。

11. 在香港联合交易所有限公司买卖纳斯达克－美国证券交易所证券的风险

按照纳斯达克－美国证券交易所詴验计划(“詴验计划”)挂牌买卖的证券是为熟悉投资技巧的投资者而设的。客户在买卖该项詴验计划的证券之前，应先咨询有关持牌人或注册人的意見和熟悉该项詴验计划。客户应知悉，按照该项詴验计划挂牌买卖的证券并非以香港联合交易所有限公司的主板或创业板作第一或第二上市的证券类别加以监管。

12. 在香港以外地方收取或持有的客户资产的风险

持牌人或注册人在香港以外地方收取或持有的客户资产，是受到有关海外司法管辖区的适用法律及规例所监管的。这些法律及规例与《证券及期货条例》(第 571 章)及根据该条例制订的规则可能有所不同。因此，有关客户资产将可能不会享有赋予在香港收取或持有的客户资产的相同保障。

13 买卖外国证券包括中国 B 股的风险

客户必须先了解外国证券买卖的性质以及将面临的风险，然后方可进行外国证券的买卖。特别是，尽管致富证券有限公司是联交所的交易所参与者，外国证券的买卖并不受 联交所所管辖，并且不会受到投资者赔偿基金所保障。客户应根据本身的投资经验、风险承受能力以及其他相关条件，小心衡量自己是否适合参与该等买卖及征求独立专业 意見(如有疑问)。

14. 买卖交易所交易票据(“ETN”)的风险

ETN 是一种由承销银行发行的无担保、非次级债务证券，旨在为投资者提供各个市场基准的回报。ETN 的回报通常与一个市场基准或策略的表现挂钩，并扣除适用的费用。与其他债务证券类似，ETN 有到期日，且仅以发行人信用作为支持。

投资者可以透过交易所买卖 ETN 或于预定到期日收取现金付款，或视乎基准指数的表现有机会直接向发行人提早赎回 ETN(须扣除适用的费用)。然而，投资者于赎回时可能受 ETN 的提早赎回条件限制，例如最少赎回数量。

投资者并无保证将于到期日或发行人提早回购时可收回投资本金或任何投资回报。对于 ETN，正面表现的月份或无法抵销其中某些极不利之月度表现。ETN 发行人有权随时按回购价值赎回 ETN。若于任何时候 ETN 的回购价值为零，投资者的投资则变得毫无价值。ETN 可能流通性不足，投资者并无保证可随时按其意愿，以目标价格买卖。

尽管 ETF 与 ETN 均有追踪基准指数的特性，但 ETN 属于债务证券，并不实际拥有其追踪的任何资产，拥有的仅是发行人向投资者分配理论上存在的基准指数所反映的回报之承诺。

ETN 对投资组合的多元化程度有限，投资者须受集中于特定指数及指数成份的集中性风险。鉴于ETN 属无抵押品的债务工具，若 ETN 发行商发生违约或破产，最大潜在损失可能是投资额的百分之一百及无法获得任何利润。

即使受追踪的相关指数没有变化，发行人信用评级降级亦会导致 ETN 的价值下跌。因此，买卖 ETN 的投资者直接面临发行人的信用风险，且在发行人宣布破产的情况下仅拥有无担保的破产索偿权。本金金额须扣除定期缴纳的投资者费用或任何适用的费用，该等费用会对回报产生不利影响。客户应注意 ETN 的相关资产可能以 ETN 本身以外的货币计值的汇率风险。汇率变动可为客户的投资带来不利影响。

个别 ETN 可能会采用杠杆，而 ETN 的价值会因应其对于相关资产的杠杆比率而迅速变化。客户应注意 ETN 的价值可能会跌至零，客户可能损失所有的投资本金。

15. 股票挂钩票据的风险

股票挂钩票据是由票据/存款与期权结合而成，其回报是基于相关资产的价格表现而厘定。其最大回报通常受限于一个预先订定的金额。如相关资产的价格走势与客户的预期出现重 大程度的相反，阁下可能损失全部投资本金。大部份的股票挂钩票据并非低风险产品。阁下需承受发行商的信贷风险，而其回报主要视乎相关资产价格的未来走势。股票挂钩票据是涉及衍生工具的结构性产品。其最大回报是有上限的，但其潜在损失可能很重大。阁下在决定投资前阅读所有有关销售文件，以了解股票挂钩票据的特性及风险，均为犹其重要。

16. 提供代存邮件或将邮件转交第三方的授权书的风险

假如客户向持牌人或注册人提供授权书，允许他代存邮件或将邮件转交予第三方，那么客户便须尽速亲身收取所有关于客户账户的成交单据及结单，并加以详细阅读，以 确保可及时侦察到任何差异或错误。

持牌人或注册人注意事项

持牌人或注册人应至少每年与客户确认到底该客户是否希望撤销该项授权。为了清楚说明起见，持牌人或注册人只需在该项授权届满的日期之前通知有关客户，指明除非客 户在委托授权届满的日期前以书面明确地撤销该项授权，否则该项授权便会自动续期。

17. 使用电子交易服务的风险

1. 如果客户透过电子服务进行买卖，客户便须承受该电子服务系统带来的风险，包括有关系统硬件和软件可能会失灵的风险。系统失灵可能会导致客户的买卖盘不能根据指示执行，甚或完全不获执行；

2. 由于未可预计的交通挤塞和其他原因，电子服务可能并不可靠的，及存在通过电子服务进行的交易在传输和接收客户的指示或其他信息过程中可能会被耽误、延迟执行客户的指示或有关指示以有别于客户发出指示时的市价执行、指示在传输时被中断或停顿等风险。在通讯过程中也存在误解或错误的风险，以及在发出了指示后，通常也不一 定可以取消。由于此类中断、耽误或被第三方进入而使客户遭受的任何损失，本公司概不承担责任。如果客户不准备接受此类中断或耽误引致的风险，客户不应透过电子 服务来作出任何指示；及

3. 通过电子服务向客户提供的市场数据和其他信息可能是本公司从第三者获得的。虽然本公司相信这些数据和信息是可靠的，但本公司或该等第三者都不会保证这些数据和信息的准确性、完整性和实时性。

18. 股票挂钩投资（息股证/高息票据）的风险

1. 股票市场风险

股票挂钩投资产品（下称「股票挂钩产品」）（含息股证及高息票据）是由票据/存款与期权结合而成，其回报是基于相关资产的价格表现而厘定。客户需留意股票市场和相关证券价格的波动；及股息和公司行动带来的影响。

2. 交易对手风险

大部份的股票挂钩产品并非低风险产品。客户需承受发行商的信贷风险，而股票挂钩产品的回报主要视乎相关资产价格的未来走势。客户或许损失部份或全部投资本金，又 可能会接收相关证券或部份的投资本金作为回报。

3. 利润及亏损

股票挂钩产品是涉及金融衍生工具的结构性产品。其最大回报是具上限的，但其潜在损失可能很重大。当相关资产价格走向与客户的预期相违，客户或许损失部份或全部投 资本金。

4. 价格调整

客户需注意股票挂钩产品的价格和回报在到期日时可能受到任何除息、定价或公司行动所影响并有所调整。

5. 流动性风险

客户需明白股票挂钩产品的买卖或并不活跃于二手市场，并存有流动性风险。即使该二手市场存在, 其价格或可能低于发行或购买时之价格。

6. 潜在收益率受交易费用开支影响一般而言，股票挂钩产品所提供的利息会高于定期存款及债券，其投资回报亦受限于潜在收益。客户应留意股票挂钩产品的买卖和交收都有相应交易收费。详情请参阅收费表或直接咨询客户的经纪。所有关于潜在收益率的信息可能并

未参考交易费用开支。

7. 附加产品特性和交易政策 客户应需注意及阅读有意投资的股票挂钩产品的所有销售文件，以了解股票挂钩产品的附加产品特性及风险（如有）。 交易守则可能明定以特定的方式结算股票挂钩产品，例如以现金交付或实物交割。附加产品特性可能包括但不限于提前赎回、执行特点、日计应得利息。相关政策和产品特性可能以不同方式影响股票挂钩产品的投资回报。 犹为重要的是，客户应在决定投资前阅读所有相关销售档，以充分了解股票挂钩产品的政策、产品特性和特定风险。

19. 债券交易的风险

1. 违约风险

违约风险指债券发行商未能按合约缴付利息或本金予债券持有人。投资者须特别留意债券发行商的信贷评级。评级较低的债券发行商或更有可能违约，而相关投资者可能会 损失大部份或全部本金。

2. 利率风险

这是投资债券的主要风险。固定利率债券的价格会在利率下降时上升。在购买债券后，债券的价格会因应利率的上升而下降。

3. 外汇风险

投资者若投资以外币计价的债券需面对外汇风险。外币兑换率的波动或对基础资产的价值及相关投资的价格造成负面影响。

4. 流动性风险

倘若须于债券到期前出售该债券，客户须明白该债券的买卖或并不活跃于二手市场。债券发行商若违约或终止履行责任，客户作为投资者可能无法买或卖相关债券。

5. 股票风险

如债券属可换股债券，可能存在股票风险，并对价格及投资回报造成负面影响。

20. 提供将你的证券抵押品等再质押的授权书的风险

向持牌人或注册人提供授权书，容许其按照某份证券借贷协议书使用你的证券或证券抵押品、将你的证券抵押品再质押以取得财务通融，或将你的证券抵押品存放为用以履 行及清偿其交收责任及债务的抵押品，存在一定风险。

假如你的证券或证券抵押品是由持牌人或注册人在香港收取或持有的，则上述安排仅限于你已就此给予书面同意的情况下方行有效。此外，除非你是专业投资者，你的授权 书必须指明有效期，而该段有效期不得超逾 12 个月。若你是专业投资者，则有关限制并不适用。

此外，假如你的持牌人或注册人在有关授权的期限届满前最少 14 日向你发出有关授权将被视为已续期的提示，而你对于在有关授权的期限届满前以此方式将该授权延续不表示反对，则你的授权将会在没有你的书面同意下被视为已续期。

现时并无任何法例规定你必须签署这些授权书。然而，持牌人或注册人可能需要授权书，以便例如向你提供保证金贷款或获准将你的证券或证券抵押品借出予第三方或作 为抵押品存放于第三方。有关持牌人或注册人应向你阐释将为何种目的而用户许可证书。

倘若你签署授权书，而你的证券或证券抵押品已借出予或存放于第三方，该等第三方将对你的证券或证券抵押品具有留置权或作出押记。虽然有关持牌人或注册人根据 你的授权书而借出或存放属于你的证券或证券抵押品须对你负责，但上述持牌人或注册人的违责行为可能会导致你损失你的证券或证券抵押品。

大多数持牌人或注册人均提供不涉及证券借贷的现金账户。假如你毋需使用保证金贷款，或不希望本身证券或证券抵押品被借出或遭抵押，则切勿签署上述的授权书，并应 要求开立该等现金账户。

21. 买卖合成交易所买卖基金(ETFs)的风险

有别于传统型交易所买卖基金，合成 ETFs 并不会购买相关基准的成分资产，一般都是透过金融衍生工具去复制相关基准的表现。投资合成ETFs 涉及高风险，并非人皆适合，投资者买卖合成 ETFs 前必须请楚明白及考虑以下的风险。

1. 市场风险

交易所买卖基金主要为追踪某些指数、行业／领域又或资产组别（如股票、债券或商品）的表现。投资者会承受 ETFs 相关指数／资产有关的政治、经济、货币及其他风险。投资者必须要有因为相关指数／资产的波动而受损失的准备。

2. 交易对手风险

若合成 ETFs 投资于衍生工具以追指数表现，投资者除了会承受与指数有关的风险外，亦会承受发行有关衍生工具的交易对手的信贷风险。此外，投资者亦应考虑有关衍生工具发行人的潜在连锁影响及集中风险（例如由于衍生工具发行人主要是国际金融机构，固此若合成 ETFs 的其中一个衍生工且交易对手倒闭，便可能对该合成 ETFs 的其他衍生工具交易对手产生「连锁」影响）。有些合成 ETFs 备有抵押品以减低交易对手风险，但仍要面对当合成 ETFs 的抵押品被变现时，抵押品的市值可能已大幅下跌的风险。

3. 流动性风险

交易所买卖基金虽然在相关交易所上市买卖，但这并不保证该基金必定有流通的市场。若合成ETFs 涉及的衍生工具没有活跃的第二市场，流动性风险会更高。较大的衍生工具的买卖差价亦会引致亏损。而要提早解除这些工具的合约比较困难、成本也较高，尤其若市场设有买卖限制、流通量也有限，解除合约便更加困难。

4, 追踪误差风险

ETFs 及相关指数的表现可能不一致。原因，举例来说，可能是模拟策略失效、汇率、收费及支出等因素。5. 以折让或溢价买卖

若ETFs 所追的指数／市场就投资者的参与设有限制，则为使 ETFs 的价格与其资产净值一致的增设或赎回单位机制的效能可能会受到影响，令 ETF 的价格相对其资产净值出现溢价或折让。投资者若以溢价买入 ETF，在基金终止时可能无法收回溢价。

6.  外汇风险

若投资者所买卖的交易所买卖基金的相关资产并非以港币为单位，其尚要面对外汇风险。贷货币兑换率的波动可对相开资产的价值造成负面影响，连带影响交易所买卖基金 的价格。

4. Risk Disclosure Statement

1. RISK OF SECURITIES TRADING

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 GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET STOCKS

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. You 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. Current information on GEM stocks may only be found on the internet website operated by The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited. GEM Companies are usually not required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers.

You should seek independent professional advice if you are 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. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. RISK OF TRADING EXCHANGE TRADED FUNDS (ETFs)

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.

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.)

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.

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. 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.

6. Counterparty risk involved in ETFs with different replication strategies

(a) Full replication and representative sampling strategies

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 issuedby third parties, counterparty risk tends to be less of concern.

(b) Synthetic replication strategies

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.

7. RISK OF TRADING 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:

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 creditworthiness of structured product issuers.

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.

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 ratirelative 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.

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. At expiry, if the cash settlement amount is zero or negative, investors will lose the value of your investment.

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. 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.

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.

8. ADDITIONAL RISKS OF TRADING CALLABLE BULL/BEAR CONTRACTS (CBBCs)

1. Mandatory call risk

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.

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. ADDITIONAL RISKS OF TRADING DERIVATIVE WARRANTS

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.

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.

10. RISK OF TRADING US EXCHANGE-LISTED OR DERIVATIVES

You should understand the US rules applicable to trades in security or security-like instrument in markets governed by US law before undertaking any such trading. US law could apply to trading in US markets irrespective of the law applicable in your home jurisdiction.

Many (but by no means all) stocks, bonds and options are listed and traded on US stock exchanges. NASDAQ, which used to be an OTC market among dealers, has now also become a US exchange. For exchange-listed stocks, bonds and options, each exchange promulgates rules that supplement the rules of the US Securities & Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for the protection of individuals and institutions trading in the securities listed on the exchange.

Whether you are intending to trade in US exchange-listed securities or derivatives, you should understand the particular rules that govern the market in which you are intending trade. An investment in any of these instruments tends to increase the risk and the nature of markets in derivatives tends to increase the risk even further.

Market data such as quotes, volume and market size may or may not be as up-to-date as expected with NASDAQ or listed securities.

11. RISK OF TRADING NASDAQ-AMEX SECURITIES AT THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED

The securities under the Nasdaq-Amex Pilot Program (“PP”) are aimed at sophisticated investors. You should consult the licensed or registered person and become familiarised with the PP before trading in the PP securities. You should be aware that the PP securities are not regulated as a primary or secondary listing on the Main Board or the Growth Enterprise Market of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

12. RISKS 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 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.

13. RISK OF TRADING OF FOREIGN SECURITIES, INCLUDING B SHARES LISTED IN THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

You should only undertake trading of foreign securities if you understand the nature of foreign securities trading and the extent of your exposure to risks. In particular, foreign securities trading is not regulated by the SEHK and will not be covered by the Investor Compensation Fund despite the fact that Chief Se curities Limited is an exchange participant of the SEHK. You should carefully consider whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, risk profile and other relevant circumstances and seek independent professional advice if you are in doubt.

14. RISK OF TRADING EXCHANGE TRADED NOTES (ETNs)

ETN is a type of unsecured, unsubordinated debt security issued by an underwriting bank, designed to provide investors access to the returns of various market benchmarks. The returns of ETNs are usually linked to the performance of a market benchmark or strategy, minus applicable fees. Similar to other debt securities, ETNs have a maturity date and are backed only by the credit of the issuer.

You can buy and sell the ETNs on the exchange or receive a cash payment at the scheduled maturity or may early redeem the ETNs directly with the issuer based on the performance of the underlying index less applicable fees, with redemption restrictions, such as the minimum number of ETNs for early redemption, may apply.

There is no guarantee that investors will receive at maturity or upon an earlier repurchase, investors’ initial investment back or any return on that investment. Significant adverse monthly performances for investors’ ETNs may not be offset by any beneficial monthly performances. The issuer of ETNs may have the right to redeem the ETNs at the repurchase value at any time. If at any time the repurchase value of the ETNs is zero, investors’ investment will expire worthless. ETNs may not be liquid and there is no guarantee that you will be able to liquidate your position whenever you wish.

Although both ETFs and ETNs are linked to the return of a benchmark index, ETNs as debt securities do not actually own any assets they are tracking, but just a promise from the issuer to pay investors the theoretical allocation of the return reflected in the benchmark index. It provides limited portfolio diversification with concentrated exposure to a specific index and the index components. In the event that the ETN issuer defaults, the potential maximum loss could be 100% of the investment amount and no return may be received, given ETN is considered as an unsecured debt instrument.

The value of the ETN may drop despite no change in the underlying index, instead due to a downgrade in the issuer’s credit rating. Therefore, by buying ETNs, investors get direct exposure to the credit risk of the issuer and would only have an unsecured bankruptcy claim if the issuer declares bankruptcy. The principal amount is subject to the periodic application of investor fee or any applicable fees that can adversely affect returns. Where you trade ETNs with underlying assets not denominated in local currencies are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the ETN price.

Investors may have leveraged exposure to the underlying index, depending on the product feature. The value of ETNs can change rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. You should be aware that the value of an ETN may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

15. RISK OF TRADING EQUITY-LINKED NOTES (ELNs)

ELNs combine notes/deposits with options and its return component is based on the performance of the underlying asset. The maximum return is usually limited to a predetermined amount

of cash. You may stand to lose all his investment capital if the price of the underlying asset moves substantially against his view. Most ELNs are not low risk products. You will be taking on the credit risk of the issuer and his investment return depends primarily on the future price movement of the underlying asset(s). ELNs are structured products involving derivatives.

Their maximum return is capped but the potential loss can be significant. It is important that you read all the relevant offe r documents to fully understand the features and risks of ELNs before deciding to invest.

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

If you provide the licensed or registered person with an authority to hold mail or to direct mail to third parties, it is important for you to promptly collect in person all contract notes and statements of your account and review them in detail to ensure that any anomalies or mistakes can be detected in a timely fas hion.

Notes for licensed or registered persons

The licensed or registered person should confirm with the client at least on an annual basis whether that client wishes to revoke the authority. For the avoidance of doubt, it will be acceptable for the licensed or registered person to send a notification to the client before the expiry date of the authority and inform the client that it is automatically renewed unless the client specifically revokes it in writing before the expiry date.

17. RISK OF USING THE ELECTRONIC TRADING SERVICES

(a) If you undertake Transactions via Electronic Services, you will be exposed to risks associated with the Electronic Services system including the failure of hardware and software, and the result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your Instructions or is not executed at all;

(b) Due to unpredictable traffic congestion and other reasons, Electronic Services may not be reliable and Transactions conducted via Electronic Services may be subject to delays in transmission and receipt of your Instructions or other Information, delays in execution or execution of your Instructions at prices different from those prevailing at the time your Instructions were given, transmission interruption or blackout. There are risks of misunderstanding or errors in communication, and that there is also usually not possible to cancel an Instruction after it has been given. The Company accepts no responsibility for any loss which may be incurred by the Client as a result of such interruptions or delays or access by third parties. You should not place any Instruction with us via Electronic Services if you are not prepared to accept the risk of such interruptions or delays; and

(c) Market data and other information made available to the Client through our Electronic Service may be obtained by the Comp any from third parties. While the Company believes such market data or information to be reliable, neither the Company nor such third parties guarantees the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any such market data or information.

18. RISK OF TRADING EQUITY LINKED INSTRUMENTS AND NOTES (ELIs/ELNs)

(a) Equity Market Risk

ELNs combine notes/deposits with options, and the return component is based on the performance of the underlying asset. You shall pay attention to fluctuations in the equity market and the underlying security price, impact of dividends and corporate actions.

(b) Counter Party Risk

Most ELNs are not low risk products. You will be taking on the credit risk of the issuer and his investment return depends primarily on the future price movement of the underlying assets. You may incur loss in whole or in part, and may receive underlying security or only part of their investment capital in return.

(c) Return and Loss

ELNs are structured products involving derivatives. Their maximum return is capped but the potential loss can be significant. The maximum return is usually limited to a predetermined amount of cash. However, when the price of underlying asset moves against your view, you may stand to lose part or all of your investment capital.

(d) Price adjustment

You should note that the price and return of ELIs at expiry may be affected and adjusted in accordance with any dividend payment with ex-dividend pricing or any corporate actions.

(e) Liquidity Risk

You should be aware that there may not always be a secondary market for the product which poses a liquidity risk. Even though it might exist, the price may be lower than that of the

product’s issue or purchase price.

(f) Potential yield affected by fees and charges

Generally speaking, ELIs offer an interest rate higher than that of fixed deposits and bonds, and the return on investment is also capped at the potential yield of the ELIs.

You should note that you will be charged for fees and expenses for the buy/disposal of ELIs and payment / delivery at expiry. You should refer to statements for information of the fees and charges, or make direct enquiry with your broker. The information regarding potential yields may not have taken fees and charges into consideration.

(g) Additional Features and Trading policy

You should pay attention to read all the offer documents of the products which are intended to invest, to understand the trad ing policy or additional features if any. Trading policy may stipulate a particular method as to how the ELI will be settled, such as in cash payment or by physical delivery. Additional features may include but not limited to early call, knock-in and daily accrual coupon. The policy and features may affect the return of the ELIs in various ways.

It is important that you should read all the relevant offer documents to fully understand the policy, features, and specific risks of ELIs before your decision to of the investment.

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.

20. Risk of providing an authority to repledge your securities collateral etc.

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.

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 12 months. If you are a professional investor, these restrictions do not apply.

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.

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.

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.

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.

21. Risks of Synthetic Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”)

Unlike traditional Exchange traded Funds (“ETFs”), Synthetic ETFs do not buy the assets in their benchmark. Instead, they typically invest in financial derivative instruments to replicate the benchmark’s performance. Investment in Synthetic ETFs involves high risk and is not suitable for every investor. Investors should understand and consider the following risks before trading Synthetic ETFs.

(a) Market Risk

ETFs are typically designed to track the performance of certain indices, market sectors, or group of assets such as stocks, bonds, or commodities. Investors are exposed to the polit ical, economic, currency and other risks related to the ETF’s underlying index/assets it is tracking. Investment must be prepared to bear the risk of loss and volatility associated with the underlying index/asset.

(b) Counterparty Risk

Where a Synthetic ETF invests in derivatives to replicate the index performance, investors are exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties who issued the derivatives, in addition to the risks relating to the index, Further, potential contagion and concentration risks of the derivatives issuers should be taken into account (e.g. since derivative issuers are predominantly international financial institutions, the failure of one derivative counterparty of Synthetic ETF may have a “knock-on” effect on other derivative counterparties of the Synthetic ETFs). Some Synthetic ETFs have collateral to reduce the counterparty risk, but there may be a risk that the market value of the collateral has fallen substantially when the Synthetic ETF seeks to realize the collateral.

(c) Liquidity Risk

There is no assurance that a liquid market exists for an ETF. A higher liquidity risk is involved if a Synthetic ETF involves derivatives which do not have an active secondary market. Wider bid-offer spreads in the price of derivatives may result in losses. Therefore, they can be more difficult costly to unwind early, when the instruments provide access to a restricted market where liquidity is limited.

(d) Tracking Error Risk

There may be disparity between the performance of the ETFs and the performance of the underlying index due to, for instance, failure of the tracking strategy, currency differences, fees and expenses.

(e) Trading at a Discount or Premium

Where the index/ market that the ETF tracks is subject to restricted access, the efficiency in unit creation or redemption to keep the price of the ETFs in line with its net asset value (NAV) may be disrupted, causing the ETF to trade at a higher premium or discount to its NAV. Investors who buy an ETF at a premium may not be able to recover the premium in the event of termination.

(f) 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 ETFs price.
