The quotation unit of the Scheme is “MACE”, and denominated in HKD. 1 unit of the Scheme is reflected as 1 MACE in the Hang Seng Statement Gold Account. The price of 1 MACE quoted in HKD takes into account the price of 1 ounce troy of Loco London Gold in USD.
1 MACE of the Scheme is equal to 1 mace troy of the Reference Asset. 1 mace troy is equivalent to below unit:
Unit | Conversion |
---|---|
Tael Troy | 0.1 |
Ounce Troy | 0.120337 |
The trading will be done via the Hang Seng Statement Gold Account, without delivery of physical gold.
Trade in 1 unit (i.e. 1 MACE) or its multiples, and the price per unit is quoted by us as selling and buying price.
Trade directly with real-time unit prices without separate handling fees or charge.
Trading is available via Hang Seng Mobile App, Personal e-Banking, Phone Banking and at our branches in Hong Kong.
