How the Plan Works
Example (For illustration only)
Assuming the customer's regular investment amount is HKD2,000. The investment amount after deduction of the handling fee (0.25% of the monthly investment amount or HKD50 per security, whichever is higher) will be used for purchasing securities. The number of shares/units allocated to each customer will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of shares/units. Any remaining dollar amount will be credited to the customer's payment account within five trading days following the Securities Purchase Date.

Other Important Risk Warnings:
Investors should note that an exchange traded fund ("ETF") is different from a typical unit trust and many factors will affect its performance. The market price per ETF unit could be significantly higher or lower than its net asset value per unit due to market demand and supply, liquidity, and scale of trading spread in the secondary market and will fluctuate during the trading day.
While the investment objective of an index-tracking ETF is to match, before expenses, as closely as practicable the performance of the underlying index, there can be no assurance that the performance of the index-tracking ETF will be identical to the performance of the underlying index.
Like other index-tracking funds, an ETF is not actively managed meaning that the fund manager does not have discretion to select stocks individually or to take defensive positions in declining markets. Hence, any fall in the underlying index will result in a corresponding fall in the value of the ETF. In addition, to the extent that the underlying index concentrates in the securities of a particular industry or group of industries, the performance of ETFs could be more volatile than the performance of less concentrated funds.
In respect of an ETF which invests in financial derivative instruments issued by counterparties, it is subject to the credit risk of such counterparties.
Before deciding whether or not to invest in an ETF, investors should consider if investment in the ETF is suitable for them in terms of their financial situation, investment experience and investment objectives. In addition, investors should avoid excessive investment in any single type of investment (in terms of its proportion in investors' overall investment portfolio) including any proposed investment in the relevant ETF so as to avoid their investment portfolio being over-exposed to any particular investment risk.
Investors should note that investment involves risks (including the possibility of loss of the capital invested), prices of ETF units may go up as well as down and past performance information presented is not indicative of future performance. Investors should read the offering documents of the relevant ETF (including the full text of the risk factors stated therein) in detail before making any investment decision.
