Trading in capital markets products and borrowing to finance the trading transactions (including, but not limited to leveraged trading or gearing) can be very risky, and you may lose all or more than the amount invested or deposited. Where necessary, please seek advice from an independent financial adviser regarding the suitability of any trade or capital markets product taking into account your investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs before making a commitment to trade or purchase the capital markets product. In the event that you choose not to seek advice from a financial adviser, you should consider whether the capital markets product is suitable for you. You should consider carefully and exercise caution in making any trading decision whether or not you have received advice from any financial adviser.

For leveraged or margin trading, the amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the transaction. As such, the transaction is highly 'leveraged' or 'geared'. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit; this can work in your favour or against you. You may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the firm to maintain your position. If the value of the collaterals declines substantially, falling below the maintenance margin requirement, or if the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, 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 within the specified time, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit in your account.

Trading in cryptocurrency related products carries additional risks. This statement may not be sufficient to explain and list down all the risks associated with the trading and/or investing in cryptocurrency related products. You should only trade, deal or invest in cryptocurrency related products if you understand your exposure to all the risks involved and you should consider whether such trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. You should not rely on this information as a complete explanation of the risks of trading, dealing or investing in cryptocurrency related products.

These products are also not regulated under the Securities and Futures Act, and the Financial Advisers Act. Consequently, the legislative protection or safeguards afforded under the MAS’ regulatory framework will not apply to investors dealing/trading in unregulated products, such as cryptocurrency exchange traded funds. The underlying cryptocurrency markets are highly susceptible to the market forces of supply and demand, and generally they are not backed/supported by any central bank or government. Thus, they are much more volatile than traditional currencies.

These products may be restricted and subject to significant limitations on resales and transfers. Trading in these products can be extremely risky.

Risk Warning for Lending Securities

It is important that you fully understand the risks involved in enabling OCBC Securities Private Limited (“OSPL”) to borrow, on-lend or deliver your securities for OSPL’s discharge of OSPL’s delivery obligations of such securities to third parties. These risks include the following:(a) the borrowing and on-lending of your securities will be on a title transfer basis, which will necessarily mean that you will lose your ownership rights (including voting rights) and title to the same. In its place, you shall only have a right to request for the return of equivalent securities from OSPL; (b) where OSPL may, where relevant, have contractually agreed to use its reasonable endeavours to arrange for any voting rights to be exercised in accordance with your instructions, there is no assurance that such rights will be exercised as you wish, given that you are not entitled to personally exercise any voting rights attached to the securities lent to OSPL during the period of the loan. Therefore, where a significant corporate action or vote occurs while the securities are on loan, you may be unable to personally vote in accordance with your desired outcome or participate in the vote. Where you request for the return of the securities to you for voting, there is a risk that the securities may not be returned in time for you to exercise any voting rights; (c) your claim for the return of equivalent securities is a contractual claim against OSPL. OSPL will provide collateral to secure the obligation to return equivalent securities. Such collateral may be held by OSPL (itself or through any sub-custodian) and may be commingled together with other clients of OSPL on an aggregated and/or omnibus basis, but your interest in such collateral may not be identifiable by separate certificates or other documents or records; (d) there is a risk that any return of equivalent securities by OSPL may not occur on time for various reasons including due to settlement failures, operational errors, or disruptions in market infrastructure. OSPL may also have the right, in certain circumstances such as in an event of your insolvency, to convert the obligation to return equivalent securities to pay you the aggregate market value of the same; and (e) insofar as you will receive manufactured dividends, you may be required to treat the entire amount as income for tax purposes.
