    The trading hours of the morning session is 9:30 a.m. - 12:00 noon and the afternoon session is 1:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m.
    Note: Closing time of Stock Options for half-day trading will be 12:00 noon.
    Also there is no auction session for stock options.
  4. How are stock options exercised and settled?
    Stock options traded on SEHK are American style. Option writers therefore need to be prepared for assignment at any time, including on the same day the option is written. An option position which is exercised or assigned will require the parties to deliver or pay for the underlying stock within the required stock settlement period (the second business day after exercise).
    At HKEx, the exercise of stock options results in the physical delivery of stock in contrast to other types of options exercise, which result in cash settlement.
    In some situations, most stock option positions may either be closed out before expiry or expire unexercised. At other times, exercising an option may be a sensible course for option holders. Option holders and writers therefore need to be sure they are familiar with the process.
    A stock option holder must instruct his or her broker to exercise the option if he or she wants it exercised. The brokerage firm has a deadline to meet every day after which SEOCH will not accept exercise instructions so the broker is likely to impose an earlier deadline on clients. Although SEOCH has a facility whereby certain deep in-the money options are automatically exercised upon expiry, brokers are able to over-ride this feature.
    It is therefore important for investors to inform their brokers if they wish to exercise. When an option is exercised, SEOCH selects, or assigns, on a random basis, the short open position against which it is exercised. If the accounts of an Exchange Participant’s clients are assigned, the Exchange Participant must in turn assign, on a random basis, a short open position of the client. The designated client is then required to deliver (in the case of a call option writer) or buy the underlying stock (in the case of a put option writer). Stock transactions resulting from the exercise of options are cleared under the Continuous Net Settlement System of Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited, or HKSCC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HKEx. This arrangement not only smoothens the settlement process, but also strengthens cross-market risk management by combining all the stock settlement positions resulting from the exercise of options and transactions from the stock market into the same portfolio for risk management purposes.
  5. Would I lose my profits if I’ve forgotten to close out or exercise my in-the-money option position upon expiration?
    Not necessarily. Currently, open options contracts that are 1.5% or more in-the-money upon expiration will be automatically exercised if there are no prior overriding instructions from the broker. Investors are therefore advised to understand properly the Options Trading Exchange Participants policy and procedures on exercise of options contracts to ensure that their positions are properly handled.

  7. When will stocks be deposited to my securities account if I borrow today? Can I short sell immediately?
    In general, the stock is settled by T+2. You can short sell the borrowed stock on the same day (T + 0) when the transaction of borrowing stock is confirmed.
  8. If Iborrow, short sell and buy back the borrowed stock on the same day, do I need to provide cash collateral and pay all relevant charges according to loan rate of borrowed stock on T+2?
    You do not have to provide cash collateral on T + 2 if you buy back the borrowed stock on the same day for short selling. However, youwill have to deposit cash equivalent to 5% or 10 % of the market value of the borrowed stock as cash collateral by T+2.
    Please note:You have to pay the interest for 1 day even if you buy back the stock on the same day (T+0).
  9. Do I have to deposit cash as collateral if I buy back the stock on T+1? When can I withdraw the prepaid margin after buying back the stock?
    You will have to deposit the cash as collateral on T+2 if you buy back the stock on T+1. You can withdraw the prepaid margin if you buy back the stock on T+3 after deducting the relevant charges. CPYI will thereafter release your cash collateral.
  10. What is the consequence if I fail to deposit cash as collateral?
    CPYI reserves the right to buy back the borrowed stock on T+3 on your behalf if you fail to deposit cash as collateral. You must bear all relevant costs and account for all losses incurred in this regard.
  11. Do I need to increase the margin deposited if the stock price rises after borrowing the stock?
    If the stock price rises, you will have to deposit more cash after borrowing the stock in the following circumstances. The fund must be settled (good fund).
    Margin ratio = (Prepaid Margin + Cash Collateral) / Margin ratio for market value of related stock ≦ (50% of prepaid margin ratio + ratio of cash collateral)
    For example:
    Prepaid margin ratio: 20% and Ratio of Cash collateral: 105%
    Required to be deposited margin: 115% ≦【20% ÷ 2 + 105%】
    The market value of the stock is HKD$100,000,Total margin is HKD$125,000 【HKD$100,000 * 125%】 if the market price rise to $110,000
    Margin Ratio = 114% 【HKD$125,000 / HKD$110,000】<115%
    Required to b deposited margin:HKD$12,500【(125% * HKD$110,000)-HKD$125,000】
  12. What is the consequence if I don’t increase the margin deposited in response to the rise in stock price?
    As the total amount of prepaid margin and cash collateral will rise, our Risk Management Department would have no choice but to buy back part or all of the borrowed stock on your behalf. When you receive a notice from us requiring your deposit of additional margin, you are reminded to do to so as soon as possible.
    Furthermore,CPYI may notify and require you to buy back the borrowed stock at any time. You will have to fulfill your obligation under our Stock Borrowing and Lending Agreement to buy back the borrowed stock when we so require.

    Yes. You must notify your Account executive of your intention to buy back the borrowed stock on or before 11 am. Otherwise, the notice will be deemed effective on the next day. Generally you will have to return the borrowed stock within T+2 after giving such notification.
  15. What do I have to bear in mind when buying back the borrowed stock?
    When buying back, you will have to manifest the intention of buying back the borrowed stockk. Otherwise, your buy order will be treated as a normal buy instruction.
  16. Can I specify the date of buying back stocks? When requested by CPYI to buy back stocks, can I delay in or decline to return the borrowed stock?
    No. You may not specify the date of buying backing the borrowed stocks. You will have to buy back the stock as per the instructions of CPYI. If CPYI notify you to buy back the borrowed stock before 12:30 pm, you will have to do so on the same day of such notification. If CPYI notify you after 12:30 pm, you will have to return the stock on or before the day after such notification is given. The settlement date of the stock is generally T+2 after the after the effective date of notification.
Frequency Q and A
  1. What is nature of Exchange Traded Derivative Products?
    * Derivative Warrant
    Derivative warrants are an instrument which gives investors the right - but not the obligation - to buy or sell the underlying asset (e.g. a stock) at a pre-set price on or before a specified date. Derivative warrants are generally divided into two types: calls and puts. Derivative warrants can be linked with a single stock, a basket of stocks, an index, a currency, a commodity or a futures contract. Derivative warrants are usually settled in cash when they are exercised at expiry. Holder of call warrants have the right, but not obligation, to purchase from the issuer a given amount of the underlying asset at a predetermined price (also known as the “Exercise Price”) within a certain time period. Conversely, holders of put warrant have the right, but not obligation, to sell to the issuer a given amount of the underlying asset at a predetermined price within a certain time period. Investor should be aware that other factors being equal the value of derivative warrant will decrease over time. Derivative warrants should never be viewed as products that are brought and held as long term investments.

    * Callable Bull/Bear Contracts
    Callable Bull/Bear Contracts (“CBBC”) are a type of derivative product that tracks the performance of an underlying asset without requiring investors to pay the full price required to own the actual asset. They are issued either as Bull or Bear contracts with a fixed expiry date, allowing investors to take bullish or bearish positions on the underlying asset. CBBC are issued with the condition that during their lifespan they will be called by the issuers when the price of the underlying asset reaches a level (known as the “Call Price”) specified in the listing document. If the Call Price is reached before expiry, the CBBC will expire early and the trading of that CBBC will be terminated immediately. Once the CBBC is called, even though the underlying asset may bounce back in the right direction, the CBBC which has been called will not be revived and investors will not be able to profit from the bounce-back.

    * Exchange Traded Funds
    Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) are passively-managed and open-ended funds, which are traded on the securities market of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx). All listed ETFs are authorised by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) as collective investment schemes. Most ETFs track a portfolio of assets to provide diversified exposure to selected market themes. However, ETFs may also track a single underlying asset.
    ETFs can be broadly grouped into Physical ETFs and Synthetic ETFs. Many of Physical ETFs directly buy all the assets needed to replicate the composition and weighting of their benchmark (e.g. constituents of a stock index). However, some only buy a portion of the assets needed to replicate the benchmark or assets which have a high degree of correlation with the underlying benchmark but are not part of it. Some physical ETFs with underlying equity-based indices may also invest partially in futures and options contracts. Lending the shares they own is another strategy used by some physical ETFs. On the other hand, Synthetic ETFs do not buy the assets in their benchmark. Instead, they typically invest in financial derivative instruments to replicate the benchmark’s performance. Synthetic ETFs are subject to counterparty risk associated with the derivatives issuers and may suffer losses if the derivatives issuers default or fail to honour their contractual commitments. Investors should read the ETF prospectus carefully to ensure they understand how the fund operates.

    * Inline Warrants
    Inline Warrants are a type of structured product that entitles the investors to receive a pre-determined fixed payment at expiry. At expiry, investors will receive HK$1 per inline warrant held when the underlying asset falls at or within the Upper and Lower Strikes (In-The-Range) or HK$0.25 per inline warrant held when the underlying asset falls outside the Upper and Lower Strikes (Out-of-The-Range).
  2. What are the risks associated with derivative products that need to be concerned by Investors?
    Some Risks Associated with Derivative Products
    Issuer default risk
    In the event that a derivative product issuer becomes insolvent and defaults on their listed securities, investors will be considered as unsecured creditors and will have no preferential claims to any assets held by the issuer. Investors should therefore pay close attention to the financial strength and credit worthiness of derivative product issuers.

    Uncollateralised product risk
    Uncollateralised derivative products are not asset backed. In the event of issuer bankruptcy, investors can lose their entire investment. Investors should read the listing documents to determine if a product is uncollateralised.

    Gearing risk
    Derivative products such as derivative warrants and callable bull/bear contracts (CBBCs) are leveraged and can change in value rapidly according to the gearing ratio relative to the underlying assets. Investors should be aware that the value of a derivative product may fall to zero resulting in a total loss of the initial investment.

    Expiry considerations
    Derivative products have an expiry date after which the issue may become worthless. Investors should be aware of the expiry time horizon and choose a product with an appropriate lifespan for their trading strategy.

    Extraordinary price movements
    The price of a derivative product may not match its theoretical price due to outside influences such as market supply and demand factors. As a result, actual traded prices can be higher or lower than the theoretical price.

    Foreign exchange risk
    Investors trading derivative products with underlying assets not denominated in Hong Kong dollars are also exposed to exchange rate risk. Currency rate fluctuations can adversely affect the underlying asset value, also affecting the derivative product price.

    Liquidity risk
    The Exchange requires all derivative product issuers to appoint a liquidity provider for each individual issue. The role of liquidity providers is to provide two way quotes to facilitate trading of their products. In the event that a liquidity provider defaults or ceases to fulfill its role, investors may not be able to buy or sell the product until a new liquidity provider has been assigned.

    Market risk
    Derivative Products may also be exposed to the economic, political, currency, legal and other risks of a specific sector or market related to the single stock, basket of stocks, index, currency, commodity or futures contract that it is tracking.

    Some Additional Risks Involved in Trading Derivative Warrants
    Time decay risk
    All things being equal, the value of a derivative warrant will decay over time as it approaches its expiry date. Derivative warrants should therefore not be viewed as long term investments.

    Volatility risk
    Prices of derivative warrants can increase or decrease in line with the implied volatility of underlying asset price. Investors should be aware of the underlying asset volatility.

    Some Additional Risks Involved in Trading CBBCs
    Mandatory call risk
    Investors trading CBBCs should be aware of their intraday “knockout” or mandatory call feature. A CBBC will cease trading when the underlying asset value equals the mandatory call price/level as stated in the listing documents. Investors will only be entitled to the residual value of the terminated CBBC as calculated by the product issuer in accordance with the listing documents. Investors should also note that the residual value can be zero.

    Funding costs
    The issue price of a CBBC includes funding costs. Funding costs are gradually reduced over time as the CBBC moves towards expiry. The longer the duration of the CBBC, the higher the total funding costs. In the event that a CBBC is called, investors will lose the funding costs for the entire lifespan of the CBBC. The formula for calculating the funding costs are stated in the listing documents.

    Some Additional Risks Involved in Trading ETFs
    Tracking errors
    Tracking errors refer to the disparity in performance between an ETF and its underlying index/assets. Tracking errors can arise due to factors such as the impact of transaction fees and expenses incurred to the ETF, changes in composition of the underlying index/assets, and the ETF manager’s replication strategy.

    Trading at discount or premium
    An ETF may be traded at a discount or premium to its Net Asset Value (NAV). This price discrepancy is caused by supply and demand factors, and may be particularly likely to emerge during periods of high market volatility and uncertainty. This phenomenon may also be observed for ETFs tracking specific markets or sectors that are subject to direct investment restrictions.

    Counterparty risk involved in ETFs with different replication strategies
    (a) Full replication and representative sampling strategies
    An ETF using a full replication strategy generally aims to invest in all constituent stocks/assets in the same weightings as its benchmark. ETFs adopting a representative sampling strategy will invest in some, but not all of the relevant constituent stocks/assets. For ETFs that invest directly in the underlying assets rather than through synthetic instruments issued by third parties, counterparty risk tends to be less of concern.
    Synthetic replication strategies
    ETFs utilising a synthetic replication strategy use swaps or other derivative instruments to gain exposure to a benchmark. Currently, synthetic replication ETFs can be further categorized into two forms:
    i.Swap-based ETFs
    Total return swaps allow ETF managers to replicate the benchmark performance of ETFs.without purchasing the underlying assets. Swap-based ETFs are exposed to counterparty risk of the swap dealers and may suffer losses if such dealers default or fail to honor their contractual commitments.
    ii. Derivative embedded ETFs
    ETF managers may also use other derivative instruments to synthetically replicate the economic benefit of the relevant benchmark. The derivative instruments may be issued by one or multiple issuers. Derivative embedded ETFs are subject to counterparty risk of the derivative instruments’ issuers and may suffer losses if such issuers default or fail to honour their contractual commitments.

    Even where collateral is obtained by an ETF, it is subject to the collateral provider fulfilling its obligations. There is a further risk that when the right against the collateral is exercised, the market value of the collateral could be substantially less than the amount secured resulting in significant loss to the ETF.
  3. Should I buy inline warrant at a price higher than HKD 1.00?
    Inline Warrants are a type of structured product that entitles the investors to receive a pre-determined fixed payment at expiry. At expiry, investors will receive HK$1 per inline warrant held when the underlying asset falls at or within the Upper and Lower Strikes (In-The-Range) or HK$0.25 per inline warrant held when the underlying asset falls outside the Upper and Lower Strikes (Out-of-The-Range).

    Due to the pre-determined fixed maximum payment at expiry of HK$1, an inline warrant should not be traded above HK$1. Investors will suffer a loss by buying an inline warrant above HK$1.

    Inline Warrants may be issued with a lifespan of six months to five years. They may be bought and sold prior to their expiry on the cash market of HKEX. At expiry, settlement is made in cash only.

    For detail information of Inline Warrant, please refer to HKEx website at:https://www.hkex.com.hk/Products/Securities/Inline-Warrants?sc_lang=en

Pre-opening Session (POS) Q and A
  1. What is the Pre-opening Session?
    The Pre-opening Session is an additional trading session of 30 minutes which takes place before the Morning Trading Session. It allows orders to be entered into the trading system, OTP-C, for a single price auction, and transactions concluded before the commencement of the Morning Trading Session to be reported by Exchange Participants.
    This session could also accommodate potentially market moving overnight news and events, and facilitate an orderly and smooth price discovery process. Moreover, it helps to determine a security’s fair opening price by bringing together buying and selling interest.
  2. What are the purposes of a Pre-opening Session?
    The Pre-opening Session determines a fair opening price of each security and reduces the loading of the System from the large number of order inputs and trade execution messages at the commencement of the Morning Trading Session. It also helps to reduce the workload of Exchange Participants at the commencement of the Morning Trading Session and increases their operational efficiency.
    Enhanced Pre-opening Session could also increase market competitiveness, improve price discovery, liquidity and market transparency and adopt features from the successfully launched Closing Auction Session (CAS).
  3. What is the applicable Securities for enhanced Pre-opening Session (POS)?
    While the existing POS covers all securities, the enhanced POS will only cover all equities (including depository receipts, investment companies, preference shares and stapled securities), funds (including Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and REITs) and leveraged and inverse products (L&I Products).
    It should also be noted that in order to ensure consistency between the enhanced POS and the CAS, L&I Products will also be included in the CAS when the enhanced POS is implemented.
  4. Does enhanced Pre-opening Session (POS) cover Structure Products (Derivative Warrants, Callable Bull/Bear Contracts and Inline Warrants), debt securities, equity warrants and rights?
    It would not be covered by the enhanced POS.
  5. What is Pre-opening Session (POS) Trading hour?
    The overall duration of the enhanced POS will remain unchanged as compared with the current POS (i.e. from 9:00am – 9:30am which consists of an Order Input Period, a No-cancellation Period, and Random Matching Period, and a Blocking Period.
    Period Trading Hours Order Instruction
    Order Input Period 09:00-09:15 Allow input, amendment or cancel
    No-cancellation Period 09:15-09:20 Allow input, no amendment or cancel
    Random Matching Period
    (order matching will start randomly during this period)
    09:20-09:22 Allow input, no amendment or cancel
    Blocking Period 09:22-09:30 No input, amendment or cancel
  6. What kind of orders can be entered during the Pre-opening Session?
    Only at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders are accepted.
  7. How to handle unfilled orders from Pre-opening Session (POS)?
    Unfilled at-auction orders will be cancelled by the Orion Trading Platform – Securities Market (OTP-C), while unfilled at-auction limit orders with order price not deviating 9 times or more from the nominal price will be converted to limit orders and carried forward to the Continuous Trading Session (CTS).
  8. What is the Stage 1 & Stage 2 price limit in enhanced Pre-opening Session (POS)?
    A two-stage price limit mechanism is applied to control the price of at-auction limit orders (i.e. at-auction orders and manual transactions are not subject to these price limits) which are input during the POS.



  9. Is short selling permitted during the Pre-opening Session (POS)?
    Input of Short Selling in POS is allowed by HKEX.
  10. Will the limit orders / enhanced limit orders / special limit orders be rejected by the System during the Pre-opening Session?
    In general, the OTP-C Host will only accept at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders during the Pre-opening Session. Limit orders / enhanced limit orders / special limit orders entered to the OTP-C Host during this session will be rejected.
  11. What are Indicative Equilibrium Price (IEP) and Indicative Equilibrium Volume (IEV)? How are they determined?
    An IEP is calculated during the Pre-opening Session and serves as the market opening price for the corresponding security. An IEP will only be calculated if the highest bid price of the buy at-auction limit orders is equal to or higher than the lowest ask price of the sell at-auction limit orders. If more than one price satisfies this criterion, the IEP shall be calculated according to the following rules:

      i. the IEP shall be one of the bid prices or ask prices which falls within the range of the highest bid price of the buy at-auction limit orders and the lowest ask price of the sell at-auction limit orders (inclusive of both prices) at which the aggregate size of the trades to be concluded based on the methodology specified in the Rules of the Exchange is maximised;

      ii. if more than one price satisfies this rule , the IEP will be the price at which the normal order imbalance is the lowest. For these purposes, normal order imbalance is defined as the difference between the aggregate size of the buy at-auction orders and the buy at-auction limit orders with bid prices at or better than certain price and the aggregate size of the sell at-auction orders and the sell at-auction limit orders with ask prices at or better than the same price;

      iii. if more than one price satisfies this rule, the IEP shall be-

        a. the highest of such prices if in relation to each and every of such prices, the aggregate size of the buy at-auction orders and the buy at-auction limit orders with bid prices at or better than that price is greater than the aggregate size of the sell at-auction orders and the sell at-auction limit orders with ask prices at or better than that price; or

        b. the lowest of such prices if in relation to each and every of such prices, the aggregate size of the buy at-auction orders and the buy at-auction limit orders with bid prices at or better than that price is smaller than the aggregate size of the sell at-auction orders and the sell at-auction limit orders with ask prices at or better than that price;

      iv. if more than one price satisfies this rule, the IEP will be the price closest to the previous closing price. If two prices are equidistant from the previous closing price, the IEP will be the higher of the two prices. However, if the previous closing price is not available, the IEP shall be the highest of these prices.

    If no IEP is calculated, no order will be matched during the order matching period of the Pre-opening Session. This can occur when there are only at-auction orders on both sides, or only at-auction limit orders on one side and at-auction orders on the other side, or at-auction limit orders on both sides but the highest bid price of the buy at-auction limit orders is lower than the lowest ask price of the sell at-auction limit orders.
    IEV is the number of shares that can be matched at the IEP.
  12. What are the differences in the trading mechanism of Pre-opening Session and that of the Continuous Trading Session?
    During the Continuous Trading Session, orders will be matched continuously and automatically by OTP-C when the specified prices of buy orders and sell orders match. Only limit orders, enhanced limit orders and special limit orders will be accepted during this period.

    During the Pre-opening Session, order input and order matching will be organised into two distinct processes:-

      1. During the order input period, no-cancellation period and random matching period of the Pre-opening Session, only at-auction orders and at-auction limit orders will be accepted. These orders will be accumulated and updated, and order matching will be started randomly during random matching period.

      2. During the random matching period of the Pre-opening Session, orders accumulated during the order input period, no-cancellation period and random matching period of the Pre-opening Session will be matched in order type (at-auction orders carry a higher matching priority), price and time priority, at the final IEP.

  13. If, for whatever reason, the trading cannot commence at 9:00 a.m., will there be any Pre-opening Session on that day?
    No, the Pre-opening Session will at 9:00 am or be cancelled. If there is no Pre-opening Session, Continuous Trading will commence as usual.
  14. If only a Pre-opening Session takes place, will that day be counted as a trading day?
    Yes, it will be counted as a trading day even if there is only a Pre-opening Session but no Continuous Trading Session.
  15. Why does HKEX propose to enhance Pre-opening Session (POS) now?
    Market participants have indicated their preference to enhance the auction mechanism in POS by using the enhanced auction features of Closing Auction Session (CAS) after its successful rollout in securities market in 2016. Given CAS has been implemented for three years and is well-accepted by market participants, HKEX believes it is the right moment, October 2020, to enhance POS in the securities market by adopting the relevant auction features in order to improve price discovery and trading liquidity before the market open.
  16. Why does HKEX propose a price limit of ±15% in Pre-opening Session (POS)?
    A price limit of ±15% in POS in the securities market is proposed in order to prevent excessive price movement during any high volatility scenarios (by controlling the price of at-auction limit orders input during POS). HKEX is of the view that a ±15% price limit from the previous closing price would be suitable as it takes into account the larger room for price discovery inherently necessary for an opening auction while not being overly restrictive. Internationally in recent years it is observed that a trend of adopting price limits/collars which may be applicable to POS as well.
    It should also be noted that there would be certain pre-defined scenarios where the price limit feature will not apply. These scenarios include the first day trading of IPO stocks, stocks on their ex-entitlement day (e.g. cash dividend, bonus issues, right issues etc.) and trading resumption after stock suspension.The ±15% limit will not be applicable to these stocks and the price discovery function would not be impacted.

Volatility Control Mechanism (VCM) Q and A
  1. What is the Volatility Control Mechanism (VCM)?
    The Volatility Control Mechanism is designed to prevent extreme price volatility from trading incidents such as a “flash crash” and algorithm errors, and to address systemic risks from the inter-connectedness of securities and derivatives markets. Many international exchanges have implemented some form of VCM. In the case of HKEX’s VCM, if the price deviates more than a predefined percentage within a specific time frame, it will trigger a cooling-off period for five minutes. This provides a window allowing market participants to reassess their strategies, if necessary. It also helps to re-establish an orderly market during volatile market situations.
  2. Which securities and futures contracts are covered by VCM?
    In the securities market, the VCM will cover Hang Seng Index (HSI) and Hang Seng China Enterprise Index (HSCEI) constituent stocks (please refer to Hang Seng Indexes Company Limited).The VCM will only be applied to the spot month and next calendar month contracts in the Hang Seng Index (HSI), Mini-Hang Seng Index (MHI), H-shares Index (HHI) and Mini H-shares Index (MCH) futures markets (total 8 contracts, collectively known as VCM Exchange Contracts”).

    • The first 15 minutes of the morning and afternoon trading session.
    • The last 20 minutes* of the afternoon trading session.
    • The After-Hours Futures Trading session in the derivatives market.

    * Since a cooling off period will last for 5 minutes, the monitoring will stop 20 minutes before end of the Afternoon Session

  4. How does the VCM work?
    The VCM is applicable during Continuous Trading Session (CTS) except the first 15 minutes of the morning and afternoon CTS and the last 15 minutes of the afternoon CTS. It is applicable to just the 81 Hang Seng Index (HSI) and Hang Seng China Enterprise Index (HSCEI) constituent stocks and the eight related index futures contracts. If the market tries to trade at a price of more than 10%(Securities Market) / 5%(Derivatives Market) away from its last traded price 5 minutes ago, a 5-minute cooling-off period will be triggered. During the cooling-off period, the affected stock will be only allowed to trade within a fixed band. Normal continuous trading will resume when the 5-minute cooling off period ends and the stock cannot be subject to the VCM again in the same trading session.
  5. What is Reference Price Model?
    VCM monitoring starts at 9:45a.m for cash market, reference price should be last traded price executed 5 minutes before 9:45a.m. Such reference price will be updated by AMS/3 at the end of each one minute interval.
    The VCM Monitoring Period starts at 9:30am for the derivatives market. The first VCM Reference Price for the trading day should be the last traded price executed before 9:25am (i.e. 5 minutes before). Thereafter the VCM Reference Price will be updated by HKATS at the end of each one second interval.
  6. What happen if there is no Reference Price?

CRS related Q and A
  1. What is the CRS?
    On 22 June 2016, the legislative council has passed and CRS will be effective in Hong Kong on 1 January 2017. The Common Reporting Standard (CRS) is an information-gathering and reporting requirement for financial institutions in participating countries, to help fight against tax evasion and protect the integrity of tax systems.
  2. According to the requirement of CRS, what client information that CPY has to collect and report?
    Under the CRS, tax authorities require financial institutions such as CPY to collect and report certain information relating to their customers’ tax statuses, including: 
    • Name
    • Address
    • Place of birth* (for Individual and Controlling Persons) *
    • Date of birth*(for Individual and Controlling Persons) *
    • Country(ies) of tax residence
    • Taxpayer identification number(s) *
    • Place of registration/incorporation (for Entities)
    • Entity Type (for Entities)
    • Controlling Person Type for certain Entity Types (for Controlling Persons)

    * this does not apply in all participating countries and is subject to local law requirements.

  3. Who is reportable?
    The CRS seeks to establish the tax residency of customers. Under the CRS, financial institutions are required to identify customers who appear to be tax resident outside of the country where they hold their accounts and products, and report certain information to our local tax authority, which may then be shared with the tax authority where you are tax resident.
  4. How is my tax residence defined?
    This will depend on where you live and your circumstances. Please contact a professional tax adviser or check the OECD website http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/tax-residency/ for more information on how to determine your tax residency, as CPY cannot give tax advice.
  5. How will I know whether or not I am a tax resident of an overseas jurisdiction?
    In general, whether or not an individual or entity is a tax resident of a jurisdiction is determined by having regard to the person’s physical presence or stay in a place (say, whether over 183 days within a tax year) or, in the case of a company, the place of incorporation or where the central management and control of the entity lies. The fact that a person has paid taxes charged by a jurisdiction (say, value-added tax, withholding tax or capital gains tax) does not automatically render that person a tax resident of that jurisdiction.
  6. How will the adoption of CRS by CPY impact customers?
    Under CRS, FIs will be liable for reporting on Reportable Accounts. Hong Kong taxpayers who are not tax residents of any territory outside Hong Kong will not be reported. The Amendment Ordinance requires FIs to apply due diligence procedures to collect all required information and documentation from Account Holders. To identify Reportable Accounts, CPY may ask Account Holder to complete self-certification form for identification of their tax residency status.
  7. Which types of customers are affected by CRS due diligence and reporting?
    Customers that hold financial accounts in FIs will be subject to CRS required due diligence procedures. Customers being affected include individuals (whether there is any banking transactions directly or indirectly through an entity) and entities such as corporations, partnerships or trusts, etc. Customers that are identified as reportable persons, i.e. tax residents of jurisdictions that have signed AEOI agreements with Hong Kong, will be subject to CRS required reporting. Therefore, customers whose jurisdiction of tax residence is Hong Kong are not subject to CRS reporting.
  8. I live in the same country as I pay tax so why do I need to give you these details?
    Under the CRS, we are legally required to establish the tax residency status of all our customers, even if you are tax resident in the same country as where you hold your account. However, typically your details will not be reportable to tax authorities for CRS purposes.
  9. I am required to submit the self-certification form even though I live in a place other than tax residence?
    Yes, Under the CRS, CPY is required to apply due diligence procedures to collect all the required information and documentation from all account holders. To identify reportable persons, we may ask you to complete a self-certification form for verification of your tax residence status.
  10. What kind of information will be collected?
    The information reported to tax authorities will have been provided in the self-certification form, and details about the accounts and products you have with us, including: 
    • the balance or value (year-end)
    • gross amount of interests, dividends and sale proceeds of financial assets as appropriate for the year concerned
  11. Can customers object to CPY making any reporting?
    No. It will be a legal requirement for CPY to report the Account Holder's information, where applicable, in accordance with the requirements of Amendment Ordinance.
  12. How often will I need to provide this information?
    Once we have a valid self-certification on file, you will only be asked to complete another when you update certain information on your account or we believe your reportable status may have changed.
  13. I have provided you with my details. Why are you asking me for supporting documents?
    Financial Institutions are required by law to verify the details client provided as part of the self-certification. If the information provided by client is not complete/correct, client has to provide supplementary information/document to complete the CRS review. We might ask you for a copy of your passport to verify your identity or for some other evidence of your tax residency declared in your self-certification.
  14. Does the joint account holders need to fill out a form separately?
    Yes, each account holder, entity and / or its controller is required to complete the self-certification form.
  15. How to fill out the self-certification form?
    All parts of the form must be completed with client signature (unless not applicable or otherwise specified). If space provided is insufficient, please use additional sheet(s). Information in fields/parts marked with an asterisk (*) are required to be reported by the reporting financial institution to the Inland Revenue Department.
  16. Can I treat this CRS form as a Change of Account Details Form for updating my personal information? For example: telephone number, residential address etc.
    If the information of the submitted form do not match our records, we will follow up to confirm whether client needs to update the personal information.
    Note: Address proof issued within 3 months is required for updating residential / mailing address.
  17. Will CPY respect my data privacy?
    Yes. We will only disclose your information to the relevant tax authorities if we are legally required to do so.
  18. Which countries are participating in CRS?
    For a list of countries participating in the CRS, alongside the dates that they will start exchanging information, please see refer to OECD website http://www.oecd.org/tax/automatic-exchange/crs-implementation-and-assistance/crs-by-jurisdiction/.
  19. What is the difference between CRS and FATCA?
    FATCA is US Law and requires financial institutions to identify US Persons and report in line with FATCA regulations, based on citizenship. The CRS requires financial institutions to identify all tax residencies of customers and in most cases report information on customers who are tax resident outside of the country where they hold their accounts. Even if you have already provided information under the United States government’s Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), you may still need to provide additional information for the as there are different regulations with different requirements.
  20. Where can I find further information?
    For further information, please refer to HKSAR Inland Revenue Department website http://www.ird.gov.hk/eng/faq/dta_aeoi.htm/.

  1. What is the Investor Identification Regime ?
    The Hong Kong Investor Identification Regime and the Over-the-counter Securities Transactions Reporting Regime, collectively known as the Investor Identification Regime, will enhance the market surveillance function of the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) by identifying the underlying investors of orders. Under the regime, brokers and banks will need to submit their clients’ identity document information to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) and the SFC.
  2. Why introduce an investor identification regime ?
    Currently, the SFC can only identify exchange participants (ie, brokers) which place securities orders directly through the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong’s (SEHK) trading system. When the SFC detects suspicious trading activities, it needs to seek information from brokers about the actual investors behind the trades. This limits the effectiveness of its market surveillance work. With an investor identification regime, the SFC could quickly obtain information about investors who place orders. This will enhance the SFC’s market surveillance function, help maintain market integrity and strengthen investor protection, thereby promoting the long-term development of the market.
    When investigating suspicious market activity, the SFC will use the Broker-to-Client Assigned Number, which is inputted by brokers when placing a securities order, to access the identity information in the secured data repository to identify the investor.
  3. Why should clients provide the consent letter to broker in order to purchase securities after the regime is implemented ?
    To comply with the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, brokers will have to obtain individual/joint account clients’ consent before submitting their personal identity information to the secured data repository. Individual/joint account clients who have not provided this consent will still be able to sell their securities but will not be able to purchase securities until they do so.
  4. Under the investor identification regime, what identity information should be provided by client, so that CPY can submit the relevant information to HKEx and SFC with client’s consent ?
    Under the investor identification regime, CPY will submit clients’ identity information (including name and identity document number, type, and place of issue) to a secured data repository of SEHK.
    Identity document type according to the waterfall requirement:

      Individual client/joint account clients (should provide information of all account holders):

      * 1st priority: HKID card

      * 2nd priority: National identification document

      * 3rd priority: Passport

      Corporate client:

      * 1st priority: LEI registration document

      * 2nd priority: Certificate of incorporation

      * 3rd priority: Business registration certificate

      * 4th priority: Other relevant documents

      Trustee of trust account client:

      * 1st priority: HKID card

      * 2nd priority: National identification document

      * 3rd priority: Passport

      or

      * 1st priority: LEI registration document

      * 2nd priority: Certificate of incorporation

      * 3rd priority: Business registration certificate

      * 4th priority: Other relevant documents

    Failure to provide CPY with client's valid personal data or consent (for individual/joint account clients) may mean that CPY will not be able to carry out client’s trading instructions. Please kindly provide your latest personal information. E.g.

      - If you are a holder of Hong Kong Identity Card, but used a different identity document when you opened your account, please contact your Account Executive to update your identity document information.

      - If you are a holder of PRC identity Card, and used the old PRC identity card with 15 digits ID numbers when you opened your account, please contact your Account Executive to update your identity document information.

      - If foreign investors used passport as the identity document when opened the account, but the passport is expired, please contact your Account Executive to update your identity document information.

  5. Will customer identity document information be kept confidential by HKEx and SFC ?
    All the customer identity document information will be encrypted and kept in the secured data repositories of HKEX and the SFC. Moreover, it will only be accessible by authorised HKEX and the SFC personnel on need-to-know basis.
  6. Where can I find more information about HKIDR ?

The Model covers securities listed in both HKD and RMB counters only. All shares or units of the same securities but in different trading counters are generally of the same class, with the same holders’ rights and entitlements, and fully interchangeable between counters.

    HKEX calculates the market capitalization of a Dual Counter Security by multiplying the total number of issued securities with the closing price of the HKD counter. HKEX will continuously review this calculation method, taking into account the development of market practice for the Dual Counter Model, relative liquidity of the Dual Counter Securities and market feedback.
