Important Notice:

In light of the latest regulatory requirements related to Vulnerable Customer Assessment, starting from 24 May 2021 ("Effective Date"), we will update the Questionnaire on Investment Preference (QIP). As a consequence, the QIP that customers have completed and provided to us before the Effective Date will be deemed to be overdue as from the Effective Date.

Starting from the Effective Date, customers are required to complete the updated QIP for placing the subscription order of the investment products, which require a valid QIP to be in place.
