Only accept "Market Order" instructions.
Only accept not more than 10 transaction instructions per trading day.

The sum will be withheld from your available investment amount.
For the odd lot selling order, if no "odd lot price" is input, the odd lot order would be executed at the price in the odd lot market, which may deviate by several spreads from the nominal price. The order type of such odd lot orders would be a "Market Order".
If the proceeds of the odd lot selling order are less than the related charges, the customer must pay the difference.
The buy instruction of a Market Order will be submitted to the market for matching once with the 10 best price queues in the prevailing market and within the range of a maximum of 10 spreads above the nominal price at the time when the order is processed, provided that the order price is not lower than 0.01 of the denominated currency of the relevant stock.

Normally, the execution price of an odd lot order will have several spreads worse than that of a board lot order. BOCHK does not guarantee that investors can execute the odd lot orders at the best prices. The odd lot selling order under monthly savings plan would be executed at the prevailing price of the board lot market.

Risk Disclosure:

The following risk disclosure statements cannot disclose all the risks involved and does not take into account any personal circumstances unknown to BOCHK. You should undertake your own independent review and seek independent professional advice before you trade or invest especially if you are uncertain of or have not understood any aspect of the following risk disclosure statements or the nature and risks involved in trading or investment. You should carefully consider whether trading or investment is suitable in light of your own risk tolerance, financial situation, investment experience, investment objectives, investment horizon and investment knowledge.

Risk Disclosure of Securities Trading

Risk of Securities Trading

Monthly Stocks Savings Plan is not equivalent to, nor should it be treated as a substitute for, time deposit. 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.

Risk of Securities Margin Trading

The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may sustain losses in excess of your cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the licensed or registered person. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop-limit" orders. You may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin or interest payments. If the required margin or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. Moreover, you will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account and interest charged on your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of your own risk tolerance, financial situation, investment experience, investment objectives, investment horizon and investment knowledge.

You are reminded to understand the relevant details, risks, charges and important notes before investing in Shanghai A shares or Shenzhen A shares. For details, please read the “Important Notice of Trading China A Shares and A Shares Margin Trading via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect” in BOCHK’s website or the branch staff of BOCHK.

RMB Conversion Limitation Risk

RMB investments are subject to exchange rate fluctuations which may provide both opportunities and risks. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses in the event that the customer converts RMB into HKD or other foreign currencies. RMB is currently not fully freely convertible. Individual customers can be offered CNH rate to conduct conversion of RMB through bank accounts and may occasionally not be able to do so fully or immediately, for which it is subject to the RMB position of the banks and their commercial decisions at that moment. Customers should consider and understand the possible impact on their liquidity of RMB funds in advance.

Important Notice of US Securities

You should fully understand the details, risks, charges and important notice before invest in US securities. You should seek advice from your professional advisors as to your particular tax position, including but not limited to estate duty and withholding tax that might arise from investing in overseas products.

US securities investment services are not applicable to US persons and might only be applicable to limited jurisdiction. Any person considering an investment should seek independent advice on the suitability or otherwise of the particular investment.
