Risk warning for Share Financing

Borrowing to finance the trading of securities (leveraging/gearing) carries a high degree of risk. If the value of the collaterals declines substantially, falling below the maintenance margin requirement, you may be called upon to deposit substantial additional funds on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds or reduce your loan within the specified time, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.
