Specifically, in relation to acquiring or disposing warrants as a form of investment, we urge you to take note of the following risks associated with warrants trading:-(i) A purchaser of structured warrants is subject to the risk of losing the full purchase price of the structured warrant and all transaction costs. (ii) In order to realize any value from a structured warrant, it is necessary to sell the structured warrants or exercise the structured warrants on or before their expiry date. (iii) Under certain conditions, it may become difficult to sell the structured warrants. (iv) Upon exercise of the structured warrants, the issuer may settle its obligations via actual delivery of the underlying assets, in cash or a combination of both depending on the terms of the issue of the structured warrants. (v) The placing of contingent orders, such as "stop-loss" or "stop limit" orders, will not necessarily limit our losses to the intended amount. Market conditions may not make it possible to execute such orders. (vi) The high degree of leverage that is obtainable from structured warrants because of the small initial outlay, can work against us as well as in our favour. (vii) The use of the leverage can lead to large losses as well as gain. (viii) This brief statement cannot disclose all risks associated with trading in structured warrants.
