Risk Disclosure
Investment involves risks. The prices of investment products fluctuate, sometimes dramatically, and may become valueless. Investors should not invest based on this web page alone. Before making any investment decisions, customers must consult their own independent financial advisors and read the relevant offering documents for further details including the risk factors in order to ensure that they fully understand the risks associated with the investment products.

FX Linked Deposit ("FXLD")
The FXLD is an unlisted investment product and subject to the credit and insolvency risks of the Bank. Its return is limited to the interest payable, which will be dependent on movements in some linked exchange rate. Whilst the possible return may be higher than conventional time deposits, it is normally associated with higher risks. Exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including international finance, economics, politics, central banks and other bodies' intervention and natural events, and may rise or fall rapidly. The FXLD is not principal-protected and is not the same as directly buying the currencies of the currency pair. It is not protected by the Investor Compensation Fund. If the FXLD is approved by the Bank to be withdrawn before its maturity, the customer may also need to bear the costs involved which may reduce the return and the principal amount of the FXLD he may get back. There is no secondary market for the FXLD and it is not collateralized. The Bank can early terminate the FXLD.

  • High Yield Deposit

  • High Yield Deposit is an FX Linked Deposit in which you will get back the principal and receive interest:

  • in the Deposit Currency if the Linked Currency is stay put or even appreciate against the Deposit Currency with respect to the Initial Exchange Rate at a pre-determined time ("Fixing Time") on a pre-determined date ("Fixing Date"); or

  • in the Linked Currency if the Linked Currency depreciate against Deposit Currency with respect to the Initial Exchange Rate at the Fixing Time on the Fixing Date where the principal and the interest are converted to the linked currency at the pre-determined Initial Exchange Rate.

Customer's View: Expect AUD/USD to trade at or above 0.7805 after 1 month (bullish on AUD)
Deposit Currency: USD
Linked Currency: AUD
Currency Pair: AUD/USD
Principal Amount: USD100,000
Deposit Period: 1 month
Initial Exchange Rate: 0.7805

* The Deposit Currency equivalent payoff is calculated by converting the principal and interest in the linked currency to the deposit currency at the Fixing Exchange Rate. It is effectively the payoff received by the customer if the amount is converted to the Deposit Currency from the Linked Currency at the Fixing Exchange Rate, if applicable.

Payoff Diagram

payoff diagram

If the bank becomes insolvent or defaults on its obligations, the customer may get nothing back and suffer a total loss of the Principal Amount.

In addition to the movement of the Linked Currency, if the customer's home currency is not the Deposit Currency, the customer's total realized gain or loss (in terms of the home currency) will also depend on the fluctuation of the exchange rate between the Deposit Currency and the customer's home currency. If the Deposit Currency depreciates against the customer's home currency, the potential loss arising from such exchange rate movement may offset (or even exceed) the potential return received from the product. To the extreme, if the Deposit Currency becomes valueless on the Maturity Date, then the customer will still suffer total loss (i.e. 100% loss) when the customer converts the maturity proceeds back to the customer's home currency on the Maturity Date. Conversely, if the Deposit Currency appreciates against the customer's home currency, the potential profit arising from such exchange rate movement may enhance the customer's total realized return.

Taking the Best Case Scenario above where the total payoff customer receives at maturity is USD100,500, assuming that HKD is customer's home currency and he/she chooses to convert the payoff back to HKD at maturity, the customer total realized gain/loss of this investment is shown below:

  • Currency exchange rates are affected by a wide range of factors, including national and international financial and economic conditions and political and natural events. The effect of normal market forces may at times be countered by intervention by central banks and other bodies. At times, exchange rates, and prices linked to such rates, may rise or fall rapidly.
