Risk Disclosure

The Equity Linked Investments are not principal protected. Investment in ELIs involves risks. The net return in relation to an ELI will depend upon stock market conditions prevailing on the Valuation Date. Fluctuations in stock prices can be substantial and you must be prepared to receive the Physical Settlement 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, or you may suffer a total loss of the capital invested in the ELI. Changes in the market prices of the Underlying Stock may not lead to corresponding changes in the market value of the ELI. 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 advisor. You should also refer to the Offering Circular, any addendum to the Offering Circular, the latest publicly available Annual Report and Unaudited Interim Financial Results of the Issuer and the applicable Term Sheet for further details on the ELIs and the risks involved before deciding whether to invest in the ELIs. This website does not constitute an offer or an invitation to purchase or to induce an offer by any person to purchase or acquire or invest in the ELIs. HSBC takes responsibility as to the issue and contents of this website.
