 Customer's purchasing power in RMB for SEHK  ¥10,000  ¥30,000  ¥25,000  ¥25,000
 Customer's purchasing power RMB for SSE or SZSE  ¥10,000  ¥10,000#  ¥25,000*  ¥25,000

# Due to the cash settlement date in SEHK is Trade Day + 2
* The unsettled fund used in Northbounding Trading on Trade Day + 1:
¥10,000 (cash balance) + ¥20,000 (unsettled fund from the sold transaction which settle in Trade Day + 2) - ¥5,000 (held fund for purchased transaction which settle in Trade Day + 1) = ¥25,000

If Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above is hoisted at or after 15:45 (for full day trading) or 11:45 (for half day trading), trading for the day will continue as normal until the end of the CAS.

How does CAS works?

 16:00 – 16:01  16:01 – 16:06  16:06 – 16:08  16:08 – 16:10
 Reference Price Fixing Period
 (1 min)
 Order Input Period
 (5 mins))
 No-Cancellation Period
(2 mins)
 Random Closing Period
 (2 mins)
- Calculate & publish reference price
- Input new ALO in CCBA in this period is allowed, but it may be rejected by market when the relevant reference price is fixed.
- The outstanding orders in Continuous Trading Session (CTS) which are within the allowable price limit (i.e. (+/- 5% from the reference price) will be automatically carried forward to CAS
 Price limit allowed:
 +/- 5% of reference price  Within lowest ask & highest bid
 Order type allowed in CCBA:
 At-auction Limit order (ALO)
 Order input, Cancellation & Amendment
 Allowed input, cancel and amend  Input allowed, cancel and amend not allowed
 * Price spread checking on ALO in CAS:
 - Allowable price limit (if applicable ) or 200 spreads or 9 times from the nominal price (whichever is lower)

- Reference Price Fixing Period: The reference price is determined by HKEx by taking the median of 5 nominal prices in the last minute of the CTS. During this period, the reference price is not available. You can input your ALO through CCBA system but it will be stored in the Bank’s system and passed to the market during the Order Input Period.

- Order Input Period: Only At-auction Limit Order (ALO) within the +/-5% of the reference price can be input. The ALO which is input during the Reference Price Fixing Period will be delivered to market. However, the order may be rejected by market if the price is out of the allowable price limit (within the +/-5% of the reference price). Please be reminded to check the order status in “Order Status / Order History” section of Online Banking or Mobile Banking after order input. Outstanding orders can also be amended or cancelled during this period.

- No Cancellation Period: Only ALO with the price between the lowest ask and highest bid recorded at the end of Order Input Period can be input, and no orders can be amended or cancelled.

- Random Closing Period: Market closes randomly within the last 2 minutes of CAS. After the period, there’s order matching for all CAS securities.
(To know more about the CAS, you may also refer to HKEx website .

How does the order matching mechanism works?

After the end of Random Closing Period, orders are matched according to order type (at-auction order with higher priority than at-auction limit order), price and time priority at the final Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP) (i.e. Closing Price).
If final IEF cannot be determined at the end of the CAS, reference price will become the final IEP. In this case, at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders with price at or better than the reference price will be matched at the reference price.
If both IEP and reference price cannot be determined, then there will be no automatic order matching.

How the outstanding orders in CTS will be handled?

For orders with the order status 'queued' in "Order Status" section of our Mobile Banking and the order price falls within the allowable price limit (+/-5% from reference price), the orders will be automatically carried forward to CAS.
For the order with the order status 'queued' in "Order Status" section of our Mobile Banking whereas the order price falls outside the allowable price limit (+/-5% from reference price), the order will not be carried forward to CAS automatically unless the order price is modified and falls within allowable price limit by customer during Order Input Period (16:01 – 16:06) of CAS.

How the unfilled / partially filled orders will be handled after CAS?

For Day order: Order of CAS Securities which have not been filled / partially filled will lapse after CAS close.
For Good-till-date (GTD) order: Order of CAS Securities which is unfilled / partially filled during CAS will be automatically carried forward to the next trading day until it is triggered or cancelled or expired.

Volatility Control Mechanism

Which types of securities / derivatives are covered by the Volatility Control Mechanism (VCM)?

The scope of securities / derivatives in VCM covers Hang Seng Index (HSI) and Hang Seng China Enterprise Index (HSCEI) constituent stocks and the related index futures contracts.

Which trading session(s) that VCM will be triggered?

VCM is applicable during Continuous Trading Session (CTS) except the first 15 minutes of the morning and afternoon CTS and the last 15 minutes of the afternoon CTS. VCM will only last for 5 minutes and it will be triggered 1 time in each trading session for each stock / derivative and no VCM monitoring for the relevant stock / derivative within the same CTS. If morning session of CTS closes before the end of cooling off period, the remaining time of the cooling off period will not be brought forward to afternoon session of CTS.
For market open is delayed due to typhoon signal No. 8 or above is hoisted or black rainstorm, first 15 minutes after market open will still not subject to VCM.
For early market close due to typhoon signal No. 8 or above is hoisted during the trading hour, VCM can still be triggered in the last 15 minutes before market close and continue until market close.

How does the VCM work?

If the market tries to trade VCM's stocks at a price of more than 10% away from its last traded price 5 minutes ago ("Reference Price"), VCM is triggered (last for 5 minutes). During this cooling-off period, the affected stock will be only allowed to trade within a fixed band of +/- 10% from the Reference Price and only those orders with input price within the fixed band will be accepted.
When VCM is triggered, the orders which trigger the VCM and the outstanding orders which are queued in the market for matching (the order status of such order is 'queued' in the Bank) and the price is set outside the fixed band will be rejected by the market immediately. A SMS notification for rejection will be sent to customers' mobile if the order is placed via our automated trading platform (e.g. Online Banking or Mobile Banking). Customer can also enquire the order status at "Order Status" section of Mobile Banking or via our Securities Trading Hotline.

VCM's stocks

(To know more about the VCM, please refer to the website of HKEx http://www.hkex.com.hk/vcm/en/index.htm)

How the reference price of VCM being determined?

The reference price should be the last price executed 5 minutes ago. If there is no trade execution 5 minutes before, system will further search backward for the latest last traded price as reference price. This search can go backward till market open where the auction price established during the Pre-opening Session will be used as reference price.
If there is no trade execution from market open to 5 minutes before the start of VCM monitoring, system will use the first traded price as the reference price until there is subsequent execution.

Risk Disclosure

Investment involves risks. The prices of investment products fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and may become valueless. Investors should not invest based on this promotional material alone. Before making any investment decision, customers must consult their own independent financial advisors and read the relevant offering documents for further details including the risk factors in order to ensure that they fully understand the risks associated with the investment products. 


Securities Trading

It is as likely that losses will be incurred rather than profits made as a result of buying and selling securities.


Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect

Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect/Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect are not covered by Hong Kong’s Investor Compensation Fund. It involves risks of quotas used up, difference in trading day, restrictions on selling imposed by front-end monitoring, recalling of eligible stocks, and mainland market risk


Securities Margin Trading

If a client maintains a margin account with the Bank, the risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. The client may sustain losses in excess of the client’s cash and any other assets deposited as collateral with the Bank. Market conditions may make it impossible to execute contingent orders, such as “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” orders. The client may be called upon at short notice to make additional margin deposits or interest payment. If the required margin deposits or interest payments are not made within the prescribed time, the client’s securities collateral may be liquidated without the client’s consent. Moreover, the client will remain liable for any resulting deficit in the client’s account and interest charged on the client’s account. The client should therefore carefully consider whether such a financing arrangement is suitable in light of the client’s own financial position and investment objectives.


RMB Currency Risk

RMB is subject to the PRC government's control (for example, exchange restrictions). Besides, there is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. If customers convert Hong Kong Dollar or any other currency into RMB so as to invest in RMB denominated investment products and subsequently convert the RMB redemption proceeds back into Hong Kong Dollar or any other currency, you may suffer a loss if RMB depreciates against Hong Kong Dollar or other currency.

There are risks associated with the online investment trading system, including the failure of hardware and/or software, and the result of any such system failure may be that your orders are either not executed according to your instructions or are not executed at all. There are risks of interruption, distortion, omission, blackout or interception during the transmission of instructions for any or all transactions in investment products, as well as of any misunderstanding or errors in communication.


Initial Public Offering

The past performance of a mutual fund is not a guide to its future performance and yields are not guaranteed. Customers could lose some or all of the principal amount invested. Funds are not obligations of, or guaranteed by, the Bank or any of its affiliates. The Bank will normally be paid a commission or rebate by the fund manager.


FX Linked Deposit

FX linked deposit is an unlisted investment product and subject to the credit and insolvency risk of the Bank. Its return is limited to the interest payable, which will be dependent on movements in some linked exchange rate. Exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including international finance, economics, politics, central banks and other bodies intervention and natural events, and may rise or fall rapidly. Whilst the possible return may be higher than conventional time deposits, it is normally associated with higher risks. When the fluctuation of the linked exchange rates differs from what the customer expected, the customer may have to bear the loss. While some FX linked deposit types are principal-protected conditionally, others are not principal-protected. FX linked deposit is not the same as investing in its linked currency. It is not protected by the Investor Compensation Fund. If the FX linked deposit is approved by the Bank to be withdrawn before its maturity, the customer may also need to bear the costs involved which may reduce the return and the principal amount of FX linked deposit he may get back. There is no secondary market for the FX linked deposit and it is not collateralized. The Bank can early terminate FX linked deposit.


FX Margin Trading

The risk of loss in leveraged foreign exchange trading can be substantial. 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 limit losses to the intended amounts. 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 will be liquidated. You will remain liable for any resulting deficit in your account. You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of your own financial position and investment objectives. Currency exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including national and international financial and economic conditions and political and natural events. The effect of normal market force may at times be countered by intervention by central banks and other bodies. At times, exchange rates, and price linked to such rates, may rise or fall rapidly. Please refer to the risk disclosures in the specific documentation of these products before making a decision to invest using margin or leverage.


Gold Trading

The gold market is volatile and a loss may be incurred from trading gold. Gold does not bear interest. A customer's purchase of gold for the account does not represent a purchase of physical gold or a deposit of money. Customers will not have any interest in any gold owned or held by the Bank, or be entitled to physical delivery of gold. Although investment may bring about profit opportunities, each kind of investment tool comes with its own risks. Due to the fluctuating nature of the gold market, the gold price may rise or fall beyond customers' expectations and the losses may substantially reduce customers' capital invested and earnings (if any). Customers' investments in Gold Trading are subject to the credit risk of the Bank. Before making any investment decision, customers should assess their own willingness and ability to bear risks and seek advice from independent financial advisors. Gold Trading (the "Scheme") has been authorized by the Securities and Futures Commission ("SFC"). The SFC's authorization of the Scheme is not an endorsement or recommendation of the Scheme nor does it guarantee the commercial merits of the Scheme or its performance. It does not mean the Scheme is suitable for all investors nor it is an endorsement of its suitability for any particular investor or class of investors.
