The Investment Risk Profiling Questionnaire is intended to form the basis for a discussion between you and your Bank Staff on investment products appropriate for you. The investment risk profiling questionnaire does not include, and is not exhaustive of all issues you should consider before making an investment. Before making any investment decision, you should fully understand the product risks and merits and conduct your own appraisal of the product risks to determine whether the investment is consistent with your objectives.
*The examples are for reference only and does not intend to constitute any offer or solication or advice / recommendation. Potential investors should consider or seek independent advice if an investment is suitable for them in the light of their own financial position, investment objectives and risk profile.
