General Risk Disclosures

 

Before making investment decisions, investors should carefully consider whether investment products/ services are suitable in light of their financial position, investment objectives and experiences, risk tolerance and other relevant circumstances. Meanwhile, investors should also understand the risks associated with investment products/ services.

 

 

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.

 

 

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 (“SEHK”). 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.

 

 

Risks of Customer Assets Received or Held Outside Hong Kong

 

The customer assets received or held by Safari 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 customer assets may not enjoy the same protection as that conferred on the customer assets received or held in Hong Kong.

 

 

Risk of Providing an Authority to Repledge your Securities Collateral

 

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.

 

 

Risk of 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 Safari. 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 deposits or interest payments. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, your collateral may be liquidated without your consent. You should closely monitor your positions, as in some market conditions Safari may be unable to contact you or provide you with sufficient time to make the required deposits, and forced liquidation may be necessary. 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 financial position and investment objectives.

 

 

Transactions in Other Jurisdictions

 

Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade you should enquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions. Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.

 

 

Currency Risks

 

The profit or loss in transactions in foreign currency-denominated contracts (whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates where there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.

 

 

Specific Risk of Trading Callable Bull/Bear Contracts ("CBBC")

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

Risk of Trading Futures and Options

 

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 light of your own financial position and investment experience, 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.

 

Effect of "Leverage" or "Gearing": Transactions in futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract so that transactions are "leveraged" or "geared". A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

 

Risk-reducing orders or strategies: The placing of certain orders (e.g. "stop-loss" orders, or "stop-limit" orders) which are intended to limit losses to certain amounts may not be effective because market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders. Strategies using combinations of positions, such as "spread" and "straddle" positions may be as risky as taking simple "long" or "short" positions.

 

Variable degree of risk: Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarize themselves with the type of option (i.e. put or call) which they contemplate trading and the associated risks. You should calculate the extent to which the value of the options must increase for your position to become profitable, taking into account the premium and all transaction costs.


The purchaser of options may offset or exercise the options or allow the options to expire. The exercise of an option results either in a cash settlement or in the purchaser acquiring or delivering the underlying interest. If the option is on a futures contract, the purchaser will acquire a futures position with associated liabilities for margin. If the purchased options expire worthless, you will suffer a total loss of your investment which will consist of the option premium plus transaction costs. If you are contemplating purchasing deep-out-of-the-money options, you should be aware that the chance of such options becoming profitable ordinarily is remote.


Selling ("writing" or "granting") an option generally entails considerably greater risk than purchasing options. Although the premium received by the seller is fixed, the seller may sustain a loss well in excess of that amount. The seller will be liable for additional margin to maintain the position if the market moves unfavorably. The seller will also be exposed to the risk of the purchaser exercising the option and the seller will be obligated to either settle the option in cash or to acquire or deliver the underlying interest. If the option is on a futures contract, the seller will acquire a position in a futures contract with associated liabilities for margin. If the option is "covered" by the seller holding a corresponding position in the underlying interest or a futures contract or another option, the risk may be reduced. If the option is not covered, the risk of loss can be unlimited.


Certain exchanges in some jurisdictions permit deferred payment of the option premium, exposing the purchaser to liability for margin payments not exceeding the amount of the premium. The purchaser is still subject to the risk of losing the premium and transaction costs. When the option is exercised or expires, the purchaser is responsible for any unpaid premium outstanding at that time.

 

Terms and conditions of contracts: You should ask the firm with which you deal about the terms and conditions of the specific futures or options which you are trading and associated obligations (e.g. the circumstances under which you may become obliged to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a futures contract and, in respect of options, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise). Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option) may be modified by the exchange or clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.

 

Suspension or restriction of trading and pricing relationships: Market conditions (e.g. illiquidity) and/or the operation of the rules of certain markets (e.g. the suspension of trading in any contract or contract month because of price limits or "circuit breakers") may increase the risk of loss by making it difficult or impossible to effect transactions or liquidate/offset positions. If you have sold options, this may increase the risk of loss. Further, normal pricing relationships between the underlying interest and the futures, and the underlying interest and the option may not exist. This can occur when, for example, the futures contract underlying the option is subject to price limits while the option is not. The absence of an underlying reference price may make it difficult to judge "fair value".

 

Deposited cash and property: You should familiarize yourself with the protections given to money or other property you deposit for domestic and foreign transactions, particularly in the event of a firm insolvency or bankruptcy. The extent to which you may recover your money or property may be governed by specific legislation or local rules. In some jurisdictions, property which had been specifically identifiable as your own will be pro-rated in the same manner as cash for purposes of distribution in the event of a shortfall.

 

Transaction in Other Jurisdictions: Transactions on markets in other jurisdictions, including markets formally linked to a domestic market, may expose you to additional risk. Such markets may be subject to regulation which may offer different or diminished investor protection. Before you trade you should enquire about any rules relevant to your particular transactions. Your local regulatory authority will be unable to compel the enforcement of the rules of regulatory authorities or markets in other jurisdictions where your transactions have been effected. You should ask the firm with which you deal for details about the types of redress available in both your home jurisdiction and other relevant jurisdictions before you start to trade.

 

Off-exchange transactions: In some jurisdictions, and only then in restricted circumstances, firms are permitted to effect off-exchange transactions. The firm with which you deal may be acting as your counterparty to the transaction. It may be difficult or impossible to liquidate an existing position, to assess the value, to determine a fair price or to assess the exposure to risk. For these reasons, these transactions may involve increased risks. Off-exchange transactions may be less regulated or subject to a separate regulatory regime. Before you undertake such transactions, you should familiarize yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.

 

 

Specific Risk of Trading Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”)

 

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.

 

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

 

Trading at discount or premium: An ETFs 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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

 

Specific Risk of Trading Derivative Warrants

 

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.

 

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

 

 

General Major Risks associated with Exchange-traded Derivative Products (including but not limited to the following)

 

Issuer default risk: In the event that an exchange-traded derivative product issuer becomes insolvent and defaults on their issued products, 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 exchange-traded derivative product issuers. Since exchange-traded derivative products are not asset backed, in the event of issuer bankruptcy, investor can lose their entire investment.

 

Gearing risk: Exchange-traded derivative products such as derivative warrants and callable bull/bear contracts 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 an exchange-traded derivative product may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

 

Limited Life: Most of the exchange-traded derivative product issuer has an expiry date after which the products may become worthless. Investors should be aware of the expiry time horizon and choose a product with an appropriate lifespan for their trading strategy.

 

Extraordinary price movements: The price of an exchange-traded derivative 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.

 

 

Risk relating to Securities denominated in Renminbi (“RMB”)

 

RMB is not freely convertible. Conversion between RMB and foreign currencies (including Hong Kong dollar) is subject to PRC regulatory restrictions which may affect the liquidity of the RMB denominated securities.

 

As RMB denominated securities may have regular trading or an active market. Therefore you may not be able to sell your investment on a timely basis, or you may have to sell the product at a deep discount to its value.

 

The Hong Kong dollar value of your investment will go down if the RMB depreciates against the Hong Kong dollar.

 

 

Risk relating to Rights Issue

 

For exercising and trading of the right issue, investors have to pay attention to the deadline and other timelines. Rights issues that are not exercised will have no value upon expiry. But if investors decide to let the rights lapse, then investors will not need to take any action unless investors want to sell the rights in the market. In that case, 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.

 

 

Risk relating to Trading in US Exchange-listed or Over-the-counter (“OTC”) Securities 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.

 

OTC trading among dealers can continue in exchange-listed instruments and in instruments that are not exchange-listed at all. For securities that are not listed on any exchange, trading can continue through the OTC bulletin board or through the inter-dealer “pink sheets” that carry representative (not actual) dealer quotes. These facilities are outside of NASDAQ.

 

Options on securities are subject to SEC rules and the rules of any securities exchange on which the options are listed. Options on futures contracts on commodities like wheat or gold are governed by rules of the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). There are also commercial options, like options on real estate, that are governed neither by SEC nor CFTC rules.

 

Whether you are intending to trade in US exchange-listed securities, OTC securities or derivatives (such as Options or Futures), 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 makers of OTC bulletin board are unable to use electronic means to interact with other dealers to execute trades. They must manually interact with the market, i.e. use standard phone lines to communicate with other dealers to execute trades. This may cause delays in the time it takes to interact with the market place. This, if coupled with increase in trade volume, may lead to wide price fluctuation in OTC bulletin board securities as well as lengthy delays in execution time. You should exercise extreme caution when placing market orders and fully understand the risks associated with trading in OTC bulletin board.

 

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.

 

As there may be far fewer market makers participating in OTC securities markets, the liquidity in that security may be significantly less than those in listed markets. As such, you may receive a partial execution or the order may not be executed at all. Additionally, the price received on a market order may be significantly different from the price quoted at the time of order entry. When fewer shares of a given security are being traded, larger spreads between bid and ask prices and volatile swings in price may result. In some cases, the liquidation of a position in an OTC security may not be possible within a reasonable period of time.

 

Issuers of OTC securities have no duty to provide any information to investors, maintain registration with the SEC or provide regular reports to investors.

 

 

Default Risks & Counterparty Risks

 

Every investment product contains default risks and/or counterparty risks. Default risk could come from the issuer’s failure to make payments as agreed. At time of market downturn, an issuer may default due to their inability to raise new debt to roll over or repay an old one. Credit ratings are the most common tools used for assessing bond default risk. A rating represents the opinion of the rating agency at a particular point of time and may change over time, due to either changes in the financial status of the issuers or changes in market conditions.

 

Counterparty risk refers to the failure of the trading party in fulfilling their financial contractual obligations. While ratings by credit agencies represented quality assurances, investors should not only reference to the credit ratings of the product issuers, but also seek full understanding of the product structure and its exposure to the financial derivatives in order to avoid financial loss.

 

 

Important Notes and Specific Risks of trading via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect

 

The following describes some of the risks and other significant aspects of trading the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) securities via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (“China Connect”) through Safari. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of China Connect trading and the extent of your exposure to risk. You should carefully consider (and consult your own advisers where necessary) whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.


You must observe relevant laws and regulations of Mainland China and Hong Kong as well as the rules of the exchanges. You must accept and agree the aforesaid and the risks related to China Connect, including but not limited to being liable or responsible for breaching the SSE Listing Rules, SSE Rules and other applicable laws and regulations before giving instructions.

 

 

No day trading is allowed

 

You are not allowed to carry out day trading through China Connect. A shares bought on trade day (T-day) can only be sold on or after T+1 day.

 

 

OTC trading is not permitted

 

All trading must be conducted on SSE, i.e. no OTC or manual trades are allowed.

 

 

Must have shares in Safari’s CCASS account before the market opens

 

You must have your shares transferred to Safari’s corresponding CCASS account before the commencement of trading on a trading day if you intend to sell the shares during a trading day.

 

 

Stock and money settlement arrangement

 

For SSE shares trading, stock settlement will be conducted on T-day, while money (including the transaction amount as well as the related fees and levies) will settle on T+1 day. You should ensure you have sufficient RMB in your account for settlement.

 

 

Safari’s right to cancel your orders in case of contingency

 

Safari shall have the right to cancel your orders without prior notice in case of contingency such as hoisting of Typhoon Signal No 8.

 

 

Quota restrictions

 

Purchases of SSE securities through China Connect are subject to certain daily quota controls. As a result, there is no assurance that a buy order can be successfully placed through China Connect.

 

 

Difference in trading day and trading hours

 

China Connect allows trading only on the days when both Hong Kong and Shanghai markets are open for trading, and banking service are available in both markets on the corresponding settlement days. You should also note that A shares trading will follow the SSE’s trading hours.

 

 

Foreign shareholding restriction

 

Under Mainland China laws, there is a limit to how many shares a single foreign investor is permitted to hold in a single Mainland China listed company. Safari has the right to force-sell your shares upon receiving a forced-sale notification from the SEHK. Accordingly, you should ensure you fully understand the Mainland rules and regulations in relation to shareholding restrictions and disclosure obligations and follow such rules and regulations.

 

 

Short Swing Profit Rule

 

Under Mainland China laws, the “short swing profit rule” requires investors to return any profits made from purchases and sales in respect of China Connect securities of a Mainland China listed company if (a) your shareholding in the Mainland China listed company exceeds the threshold prescribed by the relevant China Connect authority from time to time and (b) the corresponding sale transaction occurs within the six months after a purchase transaction, or vice versa.

 

 

Not protected by Investor Compensation Fund

 

You should note that SSE trading under China Connect will not be covered by Hong Kong’s Investor Compensation Fund. As Hong Kong investors are not carrying out SSE trading through Mainland brokers, they are not protected by China Securities Investor Protection Fund on the Mainland.

 

 

Warnings

 

SSE may request SEHK to require Safari to issue warning statements (verbally or in writing) to clients, and not to extend SSE trading service to certain clients.

 

 

Liability

 

SEHK, SEHK parent companies and subsidiaries, SSE and SSE subsidiary and their respective directors, employees and agents shall not be responsible or held liable for any loss or damage directly or indirectly suffered by Safari, its clients or any third parties arising from or in connection with SSE trading or the CSC.
