Important Risk Warning
1. Some of the investment products are structured products which may involve derivatives. The investment decision is yours but you should not invest unless the intermediary who sells it to you has explained to you that the product is suitable for you having regard to your financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives.
2. Unit Trusts, Bonds, Certificates of Deposit (CDs), structured products (including Equity Linked Investments, Structured Notes, Deposit Plus, Structured Investment Deposits and Capital Protected Investment Deposits) are NOT equivalent to time deposits.

4. In the worst case scenario, the value of the funds may be worth substantially less than the original amount you invested (and in an extreme case could be worth nothing).
5. Issuer’s Risk – Bonds, CDs, structured products are subject to both the actual and perceived measures of credit worthiness of the issuer. There is no assurance of protection against a default by the issuer in respect of the repayment obligations.

Security Tips for Personal Internet Banking, HSBC Mobile Banking, phone banking and ATM
Password/PIN/User ID/Security Device/Mobile Security Key64 protection
For your own security, it is important that you keep your password/PIN/User ID confidential. You should also change your password/PIN regularly.
• Make sure no one sees your password/PIN/User ID at all times
• Keep your PIN/password and your ATM card separately at all times
• When choosing your password/PIN, do not use your identity card number, telephone number, mobile number, birthday or commonly used number sequences such as 888888 and 123456, or add 00 to these numbers
• Do not use the same or similar password/PIN/User ID for different banking or online services
• Change your password/PIN regularly
• Memorise your password/PIN/User ID and never write it down. Keep it private and do not disclose it to anyone
• Under no circumstances will our Bank staff, the police or any genuine parties ask for your password/PIN
• HSBC will never contact you and ask for your logon details and personal information for Personal Internet Banking, phone banking or ATM services. These include your User ID, password, PIN, account number, identification/ passport number, address, phone number, etc.
• HSBC will never disclose such information in our emails other than your name for personalisation purposes, nor ask you to confirm any personal data by replying to our email63
• When you call us, you may be asked to disclose your Personal Internet Banking User ID or input your phone banking PIN for authentication. Do not mention your PIN or Personal Internet Banking password during the call as no call centre representative will ever ask for this over the phone. If you have forgotten your PIN, a few questions relating to your personal information, NOT your passwords or PIN, will be asked for authentication
• Keep your Security Device in a safe and secure place
• Never personalise your Security Device in a way that would allow others to specifically associate it with you (i.e. name, address, etc.)
• DO NOT use the yellow button on Security Device during LOGON. Yellow button is mainly for transferring funds to third party
• Never enter digits that you are unfamiliar into the Security Device for transaction signing with the yellow button
• Customer should always take care to verify the account number of the beneficiary before effecting payment to third party
Personal Internet Banking Usage Precautions
• Protect your computer
– Install anti-virus/anti-spyware software in your computer to protect it from known viruses or spyware. The software should be updated regularly to ensure that you have the latest protection
– Install a personal firewall on your computer. It is designed to help prevent hackers from accessing the computer it is installed on. When installing such software, follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for a “conservative” access control
– Download and apply security updates and patches to the PC/browser when they are made available
• Protect yourself
– Never access Personal Internet Banking from public places or from shared computers such as those in cyber cafes or public libraries
– Close all browser windows before you log on to Personal Internet Banking. While you are in a Personal Internet Banking session, we recommend that you do not open other internet browsers and access other websites. This can help to ensure your financial information is protected and blocked from unauthorised access via another website
– Disable the “AutoComplete” function to protect against unauthorised access to your accounts and to prevent others from making banking transactions without your knowledge, as your computer may be used by others
– Check your last log on date, time and status displayed on “My HSBC” page after you have successfully log on to Personal Internet Banking. If you suspect anything suspicious, please contact HSBC immediately
– Use the “LOGOFF” button to exit. Do not exit by closing the window
– Never leave a Personal Internet Banking session unattended at any time
– Disconnect from the internet when you have finished using it. Avoid leaving your connection on, especially with broadband access, unless you’re actively using it
– For the full set of security tips of Personal Internet Banking, please visit www.hsbc.com.hk/personal/help-and-support/online-security.html
Phone Banking Usage Precautions
• If you are using a telephone with a memory or redial function, please make sure the PIN records are erased and the PIN is not seen by other people
• Be alert – only use phones located in secure and reputable places especially if you intend to perform phone banking transactions
HSBC Mobile Banking Usage Precautions
• Do not store your Personal Internet Banking username and password and Mobile Security Key64 password on your mobile handsets
• Install and update the latest anti-virus and anti-spyware software regularly on your mobile handsets, whenever they are available
• Avoid sharing your mobile handsets with others and use your own handset to log on
• Do not leave your handset unattended after log on to Personal Internet Banking / HSBC Mobile Banking. Always log off properly when you are finished with it
• Only store your own fingerprints on your device if you have enabled fingerprint authentication for HSBC Mobile Banking

2. Bonds/CDs Risk Disclosure
• Bonds/CDs are mainly for medium to long term investment, not for short term speculation. You should be prepared to invest your funds in bonds/CDs for the full investment tenor; you could lose part or all of your investment if you choose to sell your bonds/CDs prior to maturity
• Indicative bonds/CDs prices are available and bonds/CDs prices do fluctuate when market changes.

Fluctuation in stock price can be substantial and you must be prepared to receive the share valuation amount or the relevant quantity of the underlying stock (if you have elected, or are deemed to have elected, to receive shares), whichever is applicable, on the settlement date, the value of which could be substantially less than the amount of your original investment. You should consider whether or how much of your investment portfolio should comprise ELIs based on your own risk appetite, investment experience and investment objectives. If you have any concerns about this product, or are uncertain about the suitability of asset allocation in your investment portfolio, you should consult your professional financial adviser. You should refer to the offering documents for further details on the ELIs and the risks involved before deciding whether to invest in the ELIs.
8. The net return of Deposit Plus will depend upon the exchange rate of the deposit currency against the linked currency prevailing at the deposit fixing time on the deposit fixing date. There is no guarantee that you will receive the principal of your deposit at maturity. You must be prepared to incur losses as a result of depreciation in the value of the currency paid. Such losses may offset the interest earned on the deposit and may even result in losses in the principal amount of the deposit. If you have concerns about this product, you should consult your professional financial advisers.
