Currency conversion risk - the value of your foreign currency and renminbi deposit will be subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuation. If you choose to convert your foreign currency and renminbi deposit to other currencies at an exchange rate that is less favourable than the exchange rate in which you made your original conversion to foreign currency and renminbi, you may suffer loss in principal.
