Important notes

• Investment involves risk. Before making an investment decision, investors should refer to the relevant investment product offering documents for detailed information including the risk factors. Investors should not make an investment decision based solely on this page. If investors are in doubt, independent professional advice should be sought.
• Linked deposits are structured products involving derivatives. The investment decision is yours, but you should not invest in linked deposits unless the intermediary who sells them to you has explained to you that the linked deposits are suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience, and investment objectives.
• The prices of securities fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. The prices of securities may move up or down, and may become valueless. Losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling securities.
• The risk of loss in leveraged gold trading/foreign exchange trading can be substantial. You may sustain losses in excess of your initial margin funds.
