The Structured Products are non-collateralised products. If you invest in Structured Products, you are relying on the creditworthiness of its issuer and guarantor. In the event that the issuer or the guarantor is insolvent or defaults, you may not recover part or all of the amount due.
The price of the Structured Products may fall in value as rapidly as it may rise, and you may sustain a total loss of capital under certain circumstances. It is not possible to predict whether the secondary market for the Structured Products will be liquid or illiquid. KISA may be the only liquidity provider for the Structured Products referred to on the Website. KISA may be the only entity quoting prices for the Structured Products on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited. As such, the secondary market for the Structured Product may be very limited.
Prior to making investment decision, you should therefore ensure that you understand the nature and risks of the Structured Products and, if necessary, consult your own legal, tax, accounting, financial and other professional advisers to ensure that any decision made to invest in the Structured Products is suitable to you with regard to your specific circumstances and financial position. KISA assumes no fiduciary responsibility or liability for any consequences, financial or otherwise, arising from the subscription or purchase of the Structured Products by you.
[Callable bull/Bear contracts (“CBBCs”) have a mandatory call feature. CBBCs must be terminated when the spot price or spot level of the underlying asset reaches the call price or call level during the observation period. In such event, you will lose all of your investment in the CBBCs (for category N CBBCs) and residual value of the CBBCs may be zero (for category R CBBCs).]
