Customers may adopt a passive strategy on the investment. This product may be suitable for investors who are happy to accept low level of investment risk.
  • Low to Medium (2) - The price volatility of the product is low to medium. Some market monitoring may be required to control relevant risks of the product. This product may be suitable for investors who are happy to accept low-to-medium level of investment risk.


Risk disclosure:

  • The above deposits are not the same as nor should they be treated as a substitute for normal fixed time deposits.
  • The return in relation to a deposit will depend upon market conditions prevailing at the relevant fixing time(s) during or in respect of the relevant deposit period. The level of the underlying asset may go up or down during such period and this will affect the return. The return may be less than would have been payable on a normal time deposit for the same period.
  • You must be prepared to risk the interest that might otherwise have been earned on money invested as a deposit.
  • If the deposit is not in your home currency, and you choose to convert it back to your home currency upon maturity, you may make a gain or loss due to exchange rate fluctuations.
  • You should consider whether the products are suitable based on your risk appetite, investment experience and objectives. If you have any concerns about the products you should consult your professional advisers.
