Oversubscription risk

In some cases, an IPO may be oversubscribed. The company may go through a balloting/allocation process to determine whether an investor will receive any securities, and if so, what amount. Investors may be tempted to subscribe to a greater quantity than they intended, believing that they will not receive the full amount in the event of oversubscription. But if the IPO is not oversubscribed, investors will receive the whole quantity that they applied for, and they'll have to pay for its cost in full.

Market risk

There is a risk that the company's share price will drop below its initial IPO price once the company's securities/bonds trading (on the stock market or otherwise) starts. The securities/bonds/prices will fluctuate over time.

Company risk

It's vital to understand the company and business you're investing in. Study the prospectus and financial reports thoroughly, and consider seeking professional advice before making any investment decisions. For more information on investing, visit our investment services page.

Our HSBC IPO Nominees Services offer a more convenient way to subscribe to IPOs. You'll need to maintain an HSBC investment services/securities account to use these services. We can help you throughout the application process and you can enjoy the benefit of:

convenient payments—you can pay the application fee through direct debit from any of your HSBC accounts, saving you time and hassle
leveraging the earliest availability—your allotted securities/bonds/certificates of deposit will be credited to your investment services/securities account directly on the first listing/issue day so you can act immediately according to market conditions
convenient refunds—any refunds of the application fee will be credited to your payment account directly

This formula may be a good starting point.

Total amount = (price per share * number of shares applied for) + brokerage + handling fees if any + SFC transaction levy + FRC transaction levy + stock exchange trading fee

Please note that the FRC transaction levy came into effect on 1 January 2022.

You should round up the total amount to the nearest integer. This will be the amount of funds you should hold in your settlement account. The actual settlement amount may be greater or lower than the amount calculated using the aforementioned formula.

We may adopt some rounding measures in calculating the transaction levies, stamp duty and HKEX trading fee, but we will ensure that it never results in your paying more than the stated levy. We'll also make sure that the correct levies will be paid to the relevant regulatory authorities.

You can check your chosen settlement account on the IPO closing date since the application fee will only be debited if the application has been successfully submitted.

No. Once you submit your application, we will start processing it right away. You won't be able to amend or cancel your application.

If your application is partially successful or wholly unsuccessful, we'll credit the application fee (or part thereof) back to your chosen settlement account directly within the number of days specified in the respective prospectus or offering memorandum.

Bonds and Certificates of Deposit ("CDs") Risk Disclosure

There are risks involved in buying bonds/CDs. Before applying for any of bonds/CDs, you should consider whether bonds/CDs is suitable for you in light of your own financial circumstances and objectives. If you are in any doubt, get independent professional advice.
Bonds/CDs are mainly medium to long term fixed income products, not for short term speculation. You should be prepared to hold your funds in bonds/CDs for the full tenor; you could lose part or all of your principal if you choose to sell your bonds/CDs prior to maturity.
It is the issuer to pay interest and repay principal of bonds/CDs. If the issuer defaults, the holder of bonds/CDs may not be able to receive back the interest and principal. The holder of bonds/CDs bears the credit risk of the issuer and has no recourse to HSBC unless HSBC is the issuer itself.
Indicative price of bonds/CDs are available and the bonds/CDs' prices do fluctuate when market changes. Factors affecting market price of bonds/CDs include, and are not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, and liquidity premiums. The fluctuation in yield generally has a greater effect on prices of longer tenor bonds/CDs. There is an inherent risk that losses may be incurred rather than profit made as a result of buying and selling bonds/CDs.
If you wish to sell bonds/CDs, HSBC may repurchase them based on the prevailing market price under normal market circumstances, but the selling price may differ from the original buying price due to changes in market conditions.
There may be exchange rate risks if you choose to convert payments made on the bond/CDs to your home currency.
The secondary market for bonds/CDs may not provide significant liquidity or may trade at prices based on the prevailing market conditions and may not be in line with the expectations of bonds/CDs' holders.
If bonds/CDs are early redeemed, you may not be able to enjoy the same rates of return when you use the funds to purchase other products.
Do not purchase the bonds/CDs unless you fully understand and are willing to assume the risks associated with it.

Additional risk disclosure to High yield bonds

High yield bonds are typically rated below investment grade by a credit rating agency, or unrated. Whilst high yield bonds bear a higher yield opportunity than investment grade bonds, they present greater risks of issuer default, liquidity, volatility and non-payment of principal and interest.
The risk of default on principal and / or interest, is greater for high yield bonds due to higher credit risk of the issuer and lower priority of claim by the bond holders in case of issuer default.
High yield bonds can sometimes be less liquid than investment-grade bonds, depending on the issuer and the market conditions at any given time. Investors may be difficult to sell the high yield bond before maturity or at prices in line with their expectation compare to listed bond.
High yield bonds tend to be more vulnerable to economic cycles and changes in the issue's financial conditions or business developments. In particular, during economic downturn, such bonds typically fall more in value than investment-grade bonds as the issuer default risk rises and investors become more risk adverse.
Please be aware the concentration risk of investing in bonds issued by the same issuer or companies by the same group. A degrading of any of the group company's credit rating may expose the whole group to contagion risk. Please be also aware the risk of over concentrating investment in the high risk investment products.

Renminbi related products Risk Disclosure

There may be exchange rate risks if you choose to convert RMB payments made on the bonds/CDs to your home currency.
RMB debt instruments are subject to interest rate fluctuations, which may adversely affect the return and performance of the RMB products.
RMB products may suffer significant losses in liquidating the underlying investments if such investments do not have an active secondary market and their prices have large bid/ offer spreads.
You could lose part or all of your principal if you choose to sell your RMB bonds/CDs prior to maturity.
