Important Facts Statement for Currency-Linked and Interest Rate-Linked Instruments Issued by Authorized Institutions
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority mandates that authorized institutions issue standardized Important Facts Statements for currency-linked and interest rate-linked structured investment products. These documents must clearly disclose that the products are not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme and detail key risks such as derivatives exposure, credit risk, and potential total loss of principal. The template requires specific sections on product features, scenario analyses, and eligibility for the Pre-Investment Cooling-off Period to ensure investors receive plain-language disclosures before investing.
