This section is intended to summarise some of the risks associated with such investments, but does not purport to be an exhaustive list, nor should it be regarded as offering advice on the suitability of these investments for you. Please consider the product’s objectives, risks, and charges and expenses and read the Prospectus, termsheet or such equivalent documentation carefully before investing. The Prospectus, termsheet or such equivalent documentation for should include a full description of the relevant risks as well as other risks that may be associated with the product.    Risk Ratings (1) Very Low Downside Risk, (2) Low Downside Risk, (3) Moderate Downside Risk, (4) High Downside Risk, (5) Very High Downside Risk The description of risks below or otherwise in this document does not purport to be an exhaustive list of the risk factors associated with the investment in the financial products mentioned in this document. Prospective Investor should read the offering documents relating to the products and consider all risks carefully prior to investing in the products and consult an independent financial adviser as necessary before dealing with any financial products mentioned in this document.   Commission and Other Charges – Before a trade is initiated, the investor should refer to the bank’s Schedule of Fees and Charges and obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which the investor will be liable. These charges affect investor’s net profit (if any) or increase the loss.   General Risks of Bonds Macroeconomic Risk – The value of a bond may be severely impacted by economic cycles, as a severe economic downturn may impair the ability of the Issuer to fulfill its payment obligations. In such conditions, investors should note that market values of high-yield bonds typically fall more than that of investment grade bonds, as the market becomes more risk averse to credit risk of the Issuer.   Market Risk – The value of the bond(s) can fluctuate due to a lot of factors. Amongst them are supply and demand of the bond(s), interest rates, expected inflation rates, leverage factor (if any), macroeconomic conditions, and the remaining time to maturity.   Changes in the value of the bond(s) can be unpredictable, sudden, extreme, and are affected by one or more of the factors mentioned above. Investors may suffer losses owing to the market movements, if they decide to unwind their position prior to the maturity date.   Past performance is not indicative of future performance. The indicative valuation can go down as well as up. Investor must not place sole reliance on any historical information of the performance of the underlying asset(s) or the Product herein.   Investor should note that the payoff of the derivatives may not be linear to the underlying asset. Investor could suffer a loss from his/her position owing to the unwinding cost even though the currency moves in a favorable direction.   Sovereign Risk – Currencies are effectively credit notes against the country of the currency. The government of a country or a bloc of countries may unilaterally declare restrictions or events on a currency that would lead to a situation where the investor may not be able to liquidate their currency holdings and may sustain substantial losses.    Currency Risk – The profit or loss in transactions for Products denominated in a currency, other than the base currency of the investor (whether they are traded in your own or another jurisdiction) will be affected by fluctuations in currency rates, when there is a need to convert from the currency denomination of the contract to another currency.   RMB Investment Risk – Where the product is denominated in offshore RMB (also known as CNH) or linked to underlying(s) denominated in CNH, investor should note that the product may be exposed to additional risks related to RMB, as follows: a)    The RMB FX market, loan/deposit availability & products can be illiquid. This is especially the case as the offshore RMB is not readily transferable into the larger on-shore RMB market. b)    The regulatory environment of the RMB market is changing rapidly. Regulatory changes can impact product liquidity, prices and currency convertibility. c)    Like any currency, the exchange rate of RMB may rise or fall. The fluctuation in the exchange rate of RMB may result in losses. Further, RMB is subject to conversion restrictions and foreign exchange controls. d)    RMB products which are not denominated in RMB or with underlying investment not RMB denominated will be subject to multiple currency conversion costs in making and liquidating the investment, as well as the RMB exchange rate fluctuations and bid/offer spreads when assets are sold to meet redemption requests and other capital requirements (e.g. settling operation expenses). e)    For RMB products that do not have access to invest directly in Mainland China (e.g. funds invest in offshore RMB debt securities), their available choice of underlying investments denominated in RMB outside Mainland China may be limited, and such limitation may adversely affect the return and performance of the RMB products. f)      For RMB products with a significant portion of non-RMB denominated underlying investments, there is a possibility of not receiving the full amount in RMB upon redemption, if the issuer is not able to obtain sufficient amount of RMB in a timely manner due to the exchange controls and restrictions applicable to the currency.   Liquidity Risk – A systematic secondary market for the Product may not be available. The counterparty does not have the obligation to make a secondary market for the sale and purchase of the Product. Early redemption / close-out of the Product prior to its expiry date may result in significant unwind costs. As a result of all of these factors, the Investor may receive an amount in the secondary market which may be less than the then intrinsic market value of the Product and which may also be less than the amount the Investor would have received had the Investor held the Product through to maturity. Investor must be prepared to hold the Product until the redemption or maturity of the Product, and should not make an investment in the Product if they do not intend to invest for their full term.   Credit Risk (Issuer) – Investor has no rights of ownership in the underlying asset(s) referenced by the Product and there is no assurance that the initial investment amount will be repaid at maturity as the investor will be exposed to the Credit Risk of the Issuer. A Structured Product constitutes general and unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will rank equally with other unsecured obligations of the Issuer. Hence, if the Issuer becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations under the Product, the payment of sums due on the Product may be substantially reduced, delayed, or not paid at all. In the worst case, investor could suffer a total loss of the investment amount in the Product and any potential profit that would have been made from the Product, even though the underlying asset(s) is performing in the direction and/or magnitude that is expected. The rating of the Issuer by the rating agencies reflects the independent opinion of such relevant rating agencies and the rating is not a guarantee of the Issuer’s credit quality.   Credit Risk (Counterparty) – The redemption value of a Product depends on the ability of the Counterparty to fulfill its payment obligations under the Product. Hence, if the Counterparty becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations under the Product, the payment of sums due on the Product may be substantially reduced, delayed, or not paid at all. In the worst case, investor could suffer a total loss of the investment amount and any potential profit that would have been made from the exercise of the Product.   Credit Risk (Credit rating) – The credit rating by the rating agencies reflects the independent opinion of such relevant rating agencies and the rating is not a guarantee of credit quality. It is not necessarily an indication of liquidity or volatility and may be downgraded if the credit quality of the relevant quality of the relevant entity or asset or obligation declines.   Early Termination / Reinvestment Risk – Early termination of the Product is at the sole and absolute discretion of the Issuer: a)  The Issuer/Bank has the right to terminate the Product early upon occurrence of certain events, such as, but not limited to, illegality and force majeure.  b)  The Issuer/Bank may agree for the investor to terminate the Product prior to maturity but is under no obligation to do so. Investor should note that he/she may not be able to reinvest the amounts received in other suitable Products with returns as favorable as that of the pre-existing Product. Any repurchase price may be significantly less than the principal amount invested in the Product. Investor is advised to contact their respective Relationship Managers or Investment Counselors for more information on the events that lead to early termination, when required.   Hedging Risk – On or prior to and after the Trade Date, the Issuer, through its affiliates or others, will likely hedge its anticipated exposure under the Product by taking positions in the underlying asset, in option contracts on the underlying asset or positions in any other available securities or instruments. In addition, the Issuer and its affiliates trade the underlying asset as part of their general businesses. Any of these activities could potentially affect the value of the underlying asset, and accordingly, could affect the payout to Investors on the Product.   Other Risks Settlement Risk – Certain settlement disruption events may occur to restrict the ability of the Issuer or the Counterparty to deliver the terms of a contract at the time of fixing and/or settlement. A settlement may be processed by clearing system(s), custodians and other third parties across different time zones; hence, any payment or physical delivery of the underlying asset(s) may not be immediately available on the specified dates during local business hours and there will be no interest payable in the event of such delay. Investor should note that the Issuer has a sole discretion and may opt for cash settlement in whole or in part for Product that is redeemable by physical delivery of the underlying asset(s).   Commission and Other Charges – Before a trade is initiated, the investor should refer to the bank’s Schedule of Fees and Charges and obtain a clear explanation of all commission, fees and other charges for which the investor will be liable. These charges affect investor’s net profit (if any) or increase the loss.   Terms and Conditions of Contracts – The investor should understand the terms and conditions of the specific Products which he/she is trading and associated obligations (e.g. the circumstances under which the investor may become obliged to make or take delivery of the underlying interest of a contract and, in respect of the Products, expiration dates and restrictions on the time for exercise). Under certain circumstances the specifications of outstanding contracts (including the exercise price of an option embedded in the Product) may be modified by the counterparty, or the exchange / clearing house to reflect changes in the underlying interest.   Event Risk – Upon the occurrence of certain events, the Issuer may determine the appropriate adjustment to terms and condition of the Products in their sole and absolute discretion. Such events include the occurrence of potential adjustment events, delisting, merger, nationalization, insolvency, tender offer, and additional disruption events. Any such adjustments may have an adverse impact on the payment and return under the Product.   Additional Risks associated with Bonds Risks associated with High Yield Bonds / Debt Securities – High Yield Bonds or debt securities (with ratings at or below BB+/Ba1) carry higher risk since they are rated below investment grade, or could be unrated, which implies a higher risk of Issuer default. Further, the risk of rating downgrades is higher for High Yield Bonds in comparison to investment grade bonds. The Investor will also be exposed to the risk associated with investment in bonds/debt securities in general, such as, but not limited to, Default Risk, Credit Risk, Market Risk, Inflation Risk, and Interest Rate Risk. Investor should note that in addition of the risk associated with investment in bonds/debt securities in general, high-yield bond/debt securities may be subject to additional risks as follows:  a) Vulnerability to economic cycles – During economic downturns High Yield Bonds typically fall more in value than investment grade bonds as (i) investors become more risk averse and (ii) default risk rises; b) Higher credit risk ­- Lower rated, higher yielding debt securities, are subject to greater market and credit risks than higher rated securities. Generally, lower rated securities pay higher yields than more highly rated securities to compensate Investors for the higher risk. The lower ratings of such securities reflect the greater possibility that adverse changes in the financial condition of the issuer, or rising interest rates, may impair the ability of the issuer to make payments to holders of the securities.   Risks associated with Callable / Putable Bonds – Callable Bonds have embedded call options which may be exercised by the Issuer, while Putable Bonds have embedded put options which may be exercised by the investor. These events may result in early unscheduled return of principal on bonds. Investors should note that the Investor may not able to reinvest the amounts received, into other suitable bonds with returns as favorable as that of the pre-existing bonds.   Risks associated with Perpetual Bonds – Perpetual Bonds have no maturity date and pay a steady stream of interest rate forever. Thus these types of bonds usually have a particularly high duration and are very susceptible to fluctuations in interest rates as compared to normal bonds. Investors should note that the interest pay-out of these types of bonds depends on the viability of the issuer in the long term. Perpetual Bonds generally have no maturity date, a steady stream of interest rate, lower liquidity and many different technical features. Investors need to exercise caution in dealing with such Perpetual Bonds.   Risks associated with Convertible Bonds – Convertible Bonds give the bondholder an option to convert the notional of the bonds into common stock at a predetermined strike price. The Investor may be exposed to a risk profile that closely resembles that of common stock. Investors should note that they are subject to investment risks of both common stock and bonds.   Risks associated with Contingent Capital / Convertible Bonds – Contingent capital / convertible bonds have a contingent write down or loss absorption or conversion feature that allow the bonds to be written off, fully or partially, or converted to other type of assets on the occurrence of a trigger event. The Investor may be exposed to a higher Issuer credit risk in general and may lose the value of their investment substantially as a result of occurrence of the trigger event.   Risks associated with Extendable Bonds – Extendable Bonds have extendable maturity dates and investors would not have a definite schedule of principal repayment.   Risks associated with Variable-Rate Bonds – Variable-rate bonds have variable and/or deferral of interest payment terms and investors would face uncertainty over the amount and time of the interest payments to be received.   Risks associated with Subordinated Bonds – Subordinated Bonds have subordinated ranking and in the event of liquidation or insolvency of the Issuer, investors would only be entitled to be paid after other senior creditors are paid   Bearer certificate of deposits (Hong Kong booked accounts only) – It is not a protected deposit and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong.   QFII and RQFII Risk Factors Risks relating to Investments in the China Market – The Investor may also be subject to risks specific to the China market. Any significant change in mainland China’s political, social or economic policies may have a negative impact on investments in the China market. The regulatory and legal framework for capital markets in mainland China may not be as well developed as those of developed countries. There is no assurance that any investment will not be subject to stricter rules and restrictions due to a change in the current regulations. Chinese accounting standards and practices may deviate significantly from international accounting standards. The settlement and clearing systems of the Chinese securities markets may not be well tested and may be subject to increased risks of error or inefficiency. Investors should also be aware that changes in mainland China’s taxation legislation could affect the amount of income which may be derived, and the amount of capital returned, from investments.   China – Risks Regarding RQFII Status and RQFII Quota – Investors should note that the investments in China may be made through a broker’s or custodian bank’s Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) or Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor (“RQFII”) quota. QFII or RQFII status may be suspended or revoked and that this may adversely affect the Investor by requiring the broker or custodian to dispose of its securities holdings. Investors should note that there can be no assurance that the broker or custodian will continue to maintain their QFII/RQFII status or to make available their QFII/RQFII quota. Investors should also note that they may not be allocated a sufficient portion of the QFII/RQFII quota from the broker or custodian and that redemption requests may not be processed in a timely manner due to adverse changes in relevant laws or regulations. The broker or custodian may in their discretion allocate the QFII/RQFII quota which may otherwise have been available to the Investor to other products. Such restrictions may result in a rejection of subscription applications and a suspension of dealings of the Investor. In extreme circumstances, the Investor may incur significant losses due to the insufficiency of the RQFII quota, its limited investment capabilities, or its inability to fully implement or pursue its investment objective or strategy, due to QFII/RQFII investment restrictions, the illiquidity of the Chinese domestic securities market, and/or delay or disruption in the execution of trades or in the settlement of trades. The rules and restrictions under QFII/RQFII regulations generally apply to the broker or custodians (in their capacity as a QFII/RQFII) as a whole. The State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) is vested with the power to impose regulatory sanctions if the RQFII or the RQFII custodian (i.e. in the Company’s case, being the China Custodian) violates any provision of the applicable rules and regulations issued by SAFE (“SAFE Rules”).   RISKS RELATING TO BULLION LINKED TRANSACTIONS POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC RISKS Base metals, such as copper, lead zinc, tin, nickel and aluminum and bullion such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium are often produced in emerging market countries and used by industrialised nations. These emerging market countries are more exposed to the risk of swift political change and economic downturns than their industrialised counterparts. There can be no assurance that future political changes will not adversely affect the economic conditions of an emerging market country. Political or economic instability may affect investor confidence, which could in turn have a negative impact on the value of such commodities.   PRICE SOURCES BOS as the Calculation Agent may on any day be unable to determine a commodity reference price or a bullion reference price from the price source, due to market conditions including but not limited to (i) market volatility; (ii) market liquidity (as discussed below); (iii) regulatory or artificial market limitations; and (iv) the occurrence of a market disruption event. In these circumstances, BOS as the Calculation Agent will make the relevant determinations applicable to the relevant transaction.   SINGLE COMMODITY PRICES TEND TO BE MORE VOLATILE THAN, AND MAY NOT CORRELATE WITH, THE PRICES OF COMMODITIES IN GENERAL Base metal prices and bullion prices are highly volatile. Price movements in the kinds of base metals by reference to which BOS will determine a commodity reference price and the types of bullion by reference to which BOS will determine a bullion reference price are influenced by, among other things, interest rates, changing market supply and demand relationships, trade, fiscal, monetary and exchange control programmes and policies of governments, and international political and economic events and policies. In addition, governments from time to time intervene, directly and by regulation, in certain markets, particularly those in currencies and commodities. Such intervention is often intended directly to influence prices and may, together with other factors, cause all of such markets to move rapidly in the same direction because of, among other things, interest rate fluctuations.   In relation to any commodity transactions or bullion transactions, you should be aware that due to the volatility of the base metals and precious metals markets, a loss may be incurred from transacting in base metals or bullion. Due to their fluctuating nature, the prices of base metals and bullion may rise or fall beyond your expectations and your investment may increase or decrease in value as a result of selling and purchasing these. Changes in the market price of bullion may not lead to an exact corresponding change in the value of your investments under this transaction. You should also note that neither base metals nor bullion bear interest.   INVESTMENTS RELATED TO THE PRICE OF BULLION MAY BE MORE VOLATILE THAN TRADITIONAL SECURITIES INVESTMENTS The bullion markets are subject to numerous factors that interrelate in complex ways which might cause, increase or reduce price volatility including, but not limited to: disruptions in the supply chain, from mining to storage to smelting or refining; adjustments to inventory; variations in production costs, including storage, labour and energy costs; costs associated with regulatory compliance, including environmental regulations; changes in industrial, government and consumer demand, both in individual consuming nations and internationally; precious metal leasing rates; foreign exchange rates; level of economic growth and inflation; and degree to which consumers, governments, corporate and financial institutions hold any type of physical bullion as a safe haven asset (hoarding) which may be caused by a banking crisis/recovery, a rapid change in the value of other assets (both financial and physical) or changes in the level of geopolitical tension, and as such there is the possibility that a loss will be incurred from an investment or holding in bullion.   The relevant precious metal or precious metal reference price could change in value substantially in response to specific precious metals related, interest rate, economic or general market news or developments affecting the precious metal and this could pose a significant event risk.   ENTERING INTO THIS TRANSACTION IS NOT THE SAME AS OWNING BULLION OR BULLION-RELATED FUTURES CONTRACTS DIRECTLY The return on this transaction may not reflect the return you would realize if you actually purchased Bullion, or exchange-traded or over-the-counter instruments based on Bullion. Transactions in bullion on the spot markets are considered “unallocated”, which means that credit balances are backed by the general stock of the bullion dealer who has the gold or silver, and debit balances represent the indebtedness of the client to the bullion dealer. A position in bullion (such as gold denominated in XAU or silver denominated in XAG) is not an entitlement to specific bars of gold or silver and BOS shall neither take hold of nor deliver gold physically to you. You will not have any rights that holders of such assets or instruments have. You should therefore determine whether any gold investment is suitable for you in the light of your investment objectives, your financial means and your risk profile.   THE MARKET PRICE OF GOLD WILL AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE TRANSACTION   Applicable to gold linked transactions only. Because the transaction is linked to the performance of the price of Gold, we expect that generally the market value of the transaction will depend in large part on the market price of Gold. The price of gold is primarily affected by the global demand for and supply of gold. The market for gold bullion is global, and gold prices are subject to volatile price movements over short periods of time and are affected by numerous factors, including macroeconomic factors such as the structure of and confidence in the global monetary system, expectations regarding the future rate of inflation, the relative strength of, and confidence in, the U.S. dollar (the currency in which the price of gold is usually quoted), interest rates, gold borrowing and lending rates, and global or regional economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events. Gold prices may be affected by industry factors such as industrial and jewelry demand as well as lending, sales and purchases of gold by the official sector, including central banks and other governmental agencies and multilateral institutions which hold gold. Additionally, gold prices may be affected by levels of gold production, production costs and short-term changes in supply and demand due to trading activities in the gold market. Investments in Gold are not insured products and are not eligible for deposit insurance / deposit protection scheme coverage.   ON THE OBSERVATION DATE, THE GOLD PRICE IS DETERMINED BY THE LBMA, AND THERE ARE CERTAIN RISKS RELATING TO THE GOLD PRICE BEING DETERMINED BY THE LBMA    Applicable to gold linked transactions only. If the transaction is linked to the performance of Gold, on the Observation Date or Fixing Date or Valuation Date (as the case maybe), your payment at maturity will be based on the Closing Price of Gold, which will be determined by reference to fixing levels reported by the LBMA. The LBMA is not a regulated entity. If the LBMA should cease operations, or if bullion trading should become subject to a value added tax or other tax or any other form of regulation currently not in place, the role of LBMA price fixings as a global benchmark for the value of Gold may be adversely affected. The LBMA is a principals’ market which operates in a manner more closely analogous to an over-the-counter physical commodity market than regulated futures markets, and certain features of U.S. futures contracts are not present in the context of LBMA trading. The LBMA may alter, discontinue or suspend calculation or dissemination of the official afternoon Gold fixing level in U.S. dollars per troy ounce which could adversely affect the value of the transaction. The LBMA has no obligation to consider your interests in calculating or revising the official afternoon Gold fixing level.   HK Listed Bonds (including Chapter 37 bonds) – Admission to the listing and trading of the bond on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited shall not be taken as an indication of the merits of the issuer or the bond. It does not guarantee that an active secondary market exists or will exist for the bond.   HK Code of Banking Practice for Bonds Additional Notice to HK regulated accounts: For trades in Bonds where the Bank acts as an agent, the Bank is as an agent of the third party service provider and the Bond is a product of the third party service provider but not the Bank. In respect of an eligible dispute (as defined in the Terms of Reference for the Financial Dispute Resolution Centre in relation to the Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme) arising between the Bank and the customer out of the selling process or processing of the related transaction, the Bank is required to enter into a Financial Dispute Resolution Scheme process with the customer; however any dispute over the contractual terms of the product should be resolved between directly the third party service provider and the customer.       Marketing Disclaimers   This material is prepared by Bank of Singapore Limited (Co Reg.
