Risk Disclosures Statement

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.

(1) General risks

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. 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 Client Assets Received or Held Outside Hong Kong

Customer assets received or held by the Company 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 Customer assets received or held in Hong Kong.

Risk of Providing an Authority to Repledge your Securities Collateral etc.

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 the Company. 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 we 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.

Risk of using the Electronic Services under the On-line Trading Agreement

If you undertake transactions via Electronic Services, you will be exposed to risks associated with the Electronic Services system including the failure of hardware and software, and the result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all;

Due to unpredictable traffic congestion and other reasons, Electronic Services may not be reliable and Transactions conducted via Electronic Services may be subject to delays in transmission and receipt of your Instructions or other Information, delays in execution or execution of your Instructions at prices different from those prevailing at the time your Instructions were given, transmission interruption or blackout. There are risks of misunderstanding or errors in communications, and it is also usually not possible to cancel an Instruction after it has been given. The company accepts no responsibility for any loss which may be incurred by the Customer as a result of such interruptions or delays or access by third parties. You should not place nay Instruction with us via Electronic Services if you are not prepared to accept the risk of such interruptions or delays; and

Market data and other Information made available to the Customer through our Electronic Service may be obtained by the Company from third parties. While the Company believes such market data or information to be reliable, neither the Company nor such third parties guarantees the accuracy, completeness or timeliness of any such market data or information.

Non-Independent Intermediary Disclaimer

(i) the Company receives fees, commissions, or other monetary benefits from other parties (which may include product issuers) in relation to the Company’s distribution of investment products to the Costumers. For details, the Customer may refer to the Company’s disclosure on monetary benefits which are delivered to the Customer prior to or at the point of entering into a transaction for Fund(s); and/or

(2) Risks Relating to Derivatives Products

Risk of Trading Futures and Options

This brief statement does not disclose all of the risks and other significant aspects of trading in futures and options. In light of the risks, you should undertake such transactions only if you understand the nature of the contracts (and contractual relationships) into which you are entering and the extent of your exposure to risk. Trading in futures and options is not suitable for many members of the public. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances.

Futures

1. 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.

2. 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.

Options

3. Variable degree of risk

Transactions in options carry a high degree of risk. Purchasers and sellers of options should familiarise 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 (see the section on Futures above). 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 unfavourably.

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 (see the section on Futures above). 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.

Additional risks common to futures and options

4. 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.

5. 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".

6. Deposited cash and property

You should familiarise 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.

7. Commission and other charges

Before you begin to trade, you should obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which you will be liable. These charges will affect your net profit (if any) or increase your loss.

8. 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.

9. 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.

10. Trading facilities

Electronic trading facilities are supported by computer-based component systems for the order-routing, execution, matching, registration or clearing of trades. As with all facilities and systems, they are vulnerable to temporary disruption or failure. Your ability to recover certain losses may be subject to limits on liability imposed by the system provider, the market, the clearing house and/or participant firms. Such limits may vary: you should ask the firm with which you deal for details in this respect.

11. Electronic trading

Trading on an electronic trading system may differ from trading on other electronic trading systems. If you undertake transactions on an electronic trading system, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software. The result of any system failure may be that your order is either not executed according to your instructions or is not executed at all.

12. 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 familiarise yourself with applicable rules and attendant risks.

Nature of Rights Issue

A rights issue is a one-time offering of shares in a company to existing shareholders, allowing them an opportunity to maintain their proportional ownership without being diluted by buying additional new shares at a discounted price on a stated future date. Until the date at which the new shares can be purchased, investors may trade the rights to the market the same way they would trade ordinary shares. If the investors do not exercise their rights within the specified period of time, the rights will expire. If the investors do not intend to exercise their rights, they can sell them on the open market. Once exercised, the rights cannot be used again.

Last Update：January 29, 2021

The following describes some of the risks and other significant aspects of trading the Shanghai Stock Exchange (“SSE”) securities and/or Shenzhen Stock Exchange (“SZSE”) via Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect (“China Connect”) and/or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect (collectively referred to as “China Connect”) through Phillip Securities (Hong Kong) Limited (the “Company”). 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, SZSE Listing Rules, SZSE Rules and other applicable laws and regulations before giving instructions. Detailed information on trading via China Connect can be referred to on HKEX or the Company website.

1. 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.

2. OTC trading is not permitted

All trading must be conducted on SSE and or SZSE, i.e. no over-the-counter (OTC) or manual trades are allowed.

3. Must have shares in Company’s CCASS account before the market opens

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

4. Stock and money settlement arrangement

For SSE and SZSE 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.

5. Company’s right to cancel your orders in case of contingency

The Company shall have the right to cancel your orders without prior notice in case of contingency such as hoisting of Typhoon Signal No 8 or any other incident beyond the control of the Company which may affect order placing or settlement of the transaction. You acknowledge that the Company may be requested by the SEHK, SSE, SZSE or any other China Connect Authority to reject orders from you.

6. Quota restrictions

Purchases of SSE and or SZSE 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.

7. Difference in trading day and trading hours

China Connect allows trading only on the days when both Hong Kong and the respective Mainland Chinese 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 trading hours of the Exchange where it is listed.

8. 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. The Company has the right to force-sell your shares upon receiving a forced-sale notification from 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.

9. 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.

10. Not protected by Investor Compensation Fund

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

11. Warnings

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

12. Liability

SEHK, SEHK parent companies and subsidiaries, SSE, SSE subsidiary, SZSE and SZSE 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 the Company, its clients or any third parties arising from or in connection with SSE and/or SZSE trading or the CSC.

If you undertake transactions via electronic trading facilities, you will be exposed to risks associated with the system including the failure of hardware and software, and your order may not be executed according to your instructions.

2. Risks of Securities Trading

The prices of securities may fluctuate dramatically and become valueless. Losses may be incurred as a result of buying and selling securities.

3. Risks of Derivatives Trading

Trading of derivatives involves high risks and is not suitable for every investor. The prices of derivatives may fall as rapidly as they may rise and you may suffer total or excessive loss of your investment amount.

In extreme market conditions we may be unable to contact you or provide you with sufficient time to make the required deposits, and forced liquidation may be necessary.

5. Risks Relating to Restriction on Foreign Ownership of Japanese Stocks

Japanese laws impose restrictions on foreign ownership of Japanese stocks in some industries (e.g. aviation, broadcasting, and telecommunications). Foreign investors may be permitted to acquire shares beyond stipulated limits, but would be denied registration as shareholders, and consequently may not have the right to vote and receive dividends. Details of foreign investor holding ratios are available at http://www.jasdec.com/en/reading_e/for_pubinfo.php.

6. Risks Relating to Restriction from buying and selling particular foreign securities or with limitations

Due to various reasons, some foreign securities may be restricted from buying or selling or imposed with some limitations at the discretion of us, brokers, custodians, exchanges, regulators, governmental agencies or agents and etc, without prior notice or disclosure of reasons. In general, the reasons may include but not limit to compliance control, difficulty in share settlement, potentially unusual tax impact, foreigners' share ownership close to or already over regulatory limit.

Example 1: In late May 2021, we were notified by our Thailand stock broker, that buy order on KBANK.TH (NVDR class of a Thailand listeco, KASIKORNBANK PLC) had been rejected by The Stock Exchange of Thailand since the NVDR class accounted 24.39% of paid-up capital, close to the regulatory limit 25%.

Example 2: In early Feb 2021, our US stock broker notified us it would reject sell order on GME (Gamestop - A class) if order price was USD3,000 or above in order to effectively monitor and manage its risk profiles. For your information, the stock price was very volatile in late Jan, rocketed more than 12 folds to USD483, day-high on 28 Jan 2021, then tumbled 75% to USD112.25 on the same day, then rebounded by 268% to USD413.98 on next trading date.

7. Risk Relating to Extended Hours Trading

a. Risk of Lower Liquidity
Liquidity refers to the ability of market participants to buy and sell securities. Generally, the more orders that are available in a market, the greater the liquidity. Liquidity is important because with greater liquidity it is easier for investors to buy or sell securities, and as a result, investors are more likely to pay or receive a competitive price for securities purchased or sold. There may be lower liquidity in extended hours trading as compared to regular trading hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all.

b. Risk of Higher Volatility
Volatility refers to the changes in price that securities undergo when trading. Generally, the higher the volatility of a security, the greater its price swings. There may be greater volatility in extended hours trading than in regular trading hours. As a result, your order may only be partially executed, or not at all, or you may receive an inferior price when engaging in extended hours trading than you would during regular trading hours.

c. Risk of Changing Prices
The prices of securities traded in extended hours trading may not reflect the prices either at the end of regular trading hours, or upon the opening the next morning. As a result, you may receive an inferior price when engaging in extended hours trading than you would during regular trading hours.

d.Risk of Unlinked Markets
Depending on the extended hours trading system or the time of day, the prices displayed on a particular extended hours trading system may not reflect the prices in other concurrently operating extended hours trading systems dealing in the same securities. Accordingly, you may receive an inferior price in one extended hours trading system than you would in another extended hours trading system.

e. Risk of News Announcements
Normally, issuers make news announcements that may affect the price of their securities after regular trading hours. Similarly, important financial information is frequently announced outside of regular trading hours. In extended hours trading, these announcements may occur during trading, and if combined with lower liquidity and higher volatility, may cause an exaggerated and unsustainable effect on the price of a security.

f.Risk of Wider Spreads
The spread refers to the difference in price between what you can buy a security for and what you can sell it for. Lower liquidity and higher volatility in extended hours trading may result in wider than normal spreads for a particular security.

Details of the Extended Hours Trading Risk Disclosure are available at FINRA’s website: https://www.finra.org/rules-guidance/rulebooks/finra-rules/2265

This brief statement cannot disclose all risks. You should therefore study carefully the risks disclosure statements on our website and in your client agreement.

There is a possibility that any stop-loss order may be cancelled by a futures exchange due to various reasons including where orders are "out of price limits" during a fluctuating market. We will try our best to inform you as soon as possible but this CANNOT be guaranteed. You will be required to bear any loss as a result of such order cancellation.

3. Risks of Derivatives Trading

Trading of derivatives involves high risks and is not suitable for every investor. The prices of derivatives may fall as rapidly as they may rise and you may suffer total or excessive loss of your investment amount.

4. Risks of Margin Trading

The risk of loss in financing a transaction by deposit of collateral is significant. You may be called upon at short notice to deposit additional margin funds. In extreme market conditions we may be unable to contact you or provide you with sufficient time to make the required deposits, and forced liquidation may be necessary.

This brief statement cannot disclose all risks. You should therefore study carefully the risks disclosure statements on our website and in your client agreement.

It is crucial to understand the specific forms and risks mentioned in the relevant offering documents (if applicable) before investing. Key risks include but are not limited to as stated on the next page:

1.Credit Risk

Investors assume credit risk of the Issuer and the Guarantor (if applicable). Any changes to the credit rating of them will affect the price and value of the bonds. Bonds are subject to the risk of the issuer defaulting on its obligations, i.e. An issuer fails to make principal and interest payments when due. The worst case such as bankruptcy of the Issuer/Guarantor will result in the loss of your entire investment. Credit ratings assigned by credit rating agencies do not guarantee the creditworthiness of the issuer.

(i) The value of bond and/or indicative bid/offer price will depend on market liquidity and conditions and may not be available at all times;

(ii) It may take a longer time or impossible to sell the bond to the market; and;

(iii)The executable sale price may be unfavourably different by large amounts from the indicative bid price quoted.

3.Interest Rate  Risk

Bonds are more susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates and generally prices of bonds will fall when interest rates rise.

4.Market Risk

The value of investments may fluctuate due to changing political, legal, economic conditions and change in interest rate. This is common to all markets and asset classes. Investor may get back an amount substantially less than initially invested.

5.Curreny Risk

Risks of entering into Virtual Assets Related Products

You must consider carefully whether the risks set out below, as well as all other applicable risks, are acceptable to the Customer prior to any transaction on virtual assets related products.

Virtual assets or virtual assets related products (“VA”) pose significant risks to investors. Some of these risks are inherent in the nature and characteristics of the virtual assets themselves and others stem from the operations of platforms or portfolio managers.   

(i) Liquidity, volatility and valuation
Virtual assets are generally not backed by any physical assets or guaranteed by the government. They have no intrinsic value. Some of the virtual assets may not circulate freely or widely, and may not be listed on any secondary markets. There may be lack of secondary markets for investors to trade virtual assets or VA. There may not have any generally accepted valuation principles governing certain types of virtual assets.

The value of the virtual assets or VA may fluctuate significantly over a short period of time. This means there is a high risk that the price of virtual assets or VA may move up or down, and may become valueless. Investor will lose some or all of your money.   Any virtual asset may decrease in value or lose all of its value due to various factors including discovery of wrongful conduct, market manipulation, change to the nature or properties of the virtual asset, governmental or regulatory activity, legislative amendment, suspension or cessation of support for a virtual assets/VA or other exchanges or service providers, public opinions, or other factors outside of our control.

Prices on the secondary market are driven by supply and demand and are short-term and volatile by nature. The volatility faced by investors may be further magnified where liquidity pools for virtual assets are small and fragmented.

(ii) Cybersecurity and safe custody of assets
Trading platform operators and portfolio managers may store clients' assets in hot wallets (ie, online environments which provide an interface with the internet). These can be prone to hacking. Cyber-attacks resulting in the hacking of virtual asset trading platforms and thefts of virtual assets are common. Victims may have difficulty recovering losses from hackers or trading platforms, which can run to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars. Virtual asset funds face a unique challenge due to the limited availability of qualified custodian. Available solutions may not be totally effective.

Transactions involving virtual assets are irrevocable. Lost or stolen virtual assets may be irretrievable. Once a transaction has been verified and recorded on a blockchain, loss or stolen virtual assets generally will not be reversible.

(iii) Market integrity
Unlike regulated stock exchanges, the market for virtual assets is nascent and may not operate under a set of recognised and transparent rules. Outages are not uncommon, as are market manipulative and abusive activities, and these all result in investor losses.

(iv) Conflicts of interest
Virtual asset trading platform operators may act as agents for clients as well as principals. Virtual asset trading platforms may facilitate the initial distribution of virtual assets (eg, initial coin offerings), facilitate secondary market trading, or both, as in a traditional exchange, alternative trading system or securities broker. If these operators are not under the purview of any regulator, it would be difficult to detect, monitor and manage conflicts of interest and has a risk of price manipulation on trading, lending or other dealing platforms.

(v) Inadequate and inconsistent regulation
Virtual assets/VA may not be subject to regulations associated with a regulated financial product, including, but not limit to, licensing requirement, audit, trade reporting requirements, anti-money laundering rules, market manipulation rules, market integrity principle.  The markets for virtual assets/VA are therefore especially susceptible to manipulation and fraud which can have a negative impact on the price of virtual assets/VA.

Among the accounting profession body, there may not be an agreed standards and practices for auditor to perform assurance and valuation procedures to obtain sufficient audit evidence for the existence and ownership of virtual assets, and ascertain the reasonableness of the valuations.

(vi) Fraud

Virtual assets may be used as a means to defraud investors.
Virtual asset trading platform operators or portfolio managers may not have conducted sufficient product due diligence before allowing  virtual assets to be traded on their platforms or investing in a virtual asset for their portfolios. As a result, investors may become victims of fraud and lose their investments.

(vii) Absence of robust regulations and protection on virtual assets/VA

Not only virtual assets itself, trading, lending, dealing platforms and custodians of virtual assets may be unregulated in some countries.  There may not have any guarantees and safeguards provided by Government or regulatory bodies.  New unforeseen risks may arise from investing in new types of virtual assets or investing in new market participants’ complex transaction strategies products.

Moreover, there may be an absence of a robust regulatory system for virtual assets/VA.   Global regulatory bodies may face difficulties on developing a robust regulatory system for virtual assets/VA due to the continuing evolution and development of virtual assets/VA.

(viii) Virtual assets/VA 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 fulfil their commitments.

Counterparty risk refers to the failure of the trading party in fulfilling their financial contractual obligations.

Risks of entering into virtual asset futures contracts

The prices of the virtual assets which underlie these futures contracts fluctuate, sometimes dramatically. This may be due to insufficient liquidity.  The difficulty in valuing the underlying virtual assets will in turn pose significant challenges for investors in reliably valuing virtual asset futures contracts.

Investors are exposed to amplified risks due to the highly leveraged nature of futures contracts. Moreover, the complexities and inherent risks of virtual assets and/or virtual asset futures contracts are likely to be difficult for the average investor to understand. From time to time, there have been reports of market manipulative and abusive activities on platforms offering or trading virtual asset futures contracts. Such platforms may not have clear and fair trading rules. Some platforms have been criticised by investors for changing their trading rules during the life of futures contracts, for instance, halting trades or rolling back transactions and causing significant losses to investors.

As VA is a relatively new class of asset, there may be additional risk which have not been identified and mentioned.  Due to volatility and unknown risk nature, the Customer should only invest in VA if the Customer are prepared to accept the risk of losing all the monies they have invested in VA.
