5. Risk warnings
Securities-backed lending transactions involve material risks, including but not limited to: (a) market risk in the underlying pledged securities, which may result in a margin call, partial liquidation of pledged shares, or, in non-recourse structures, transfer of pledged shares to the lender; (b) liquidity risk in the underlying market, which may affect the ability to recover the position on repayment; (c) counterparty risk in the lending counterparty and the custodian; (d) regulatory and disclosure risk, including the obligation to disclose certain positions and transactions under applicable beneficial-ownership regimes; (e) tax risk, including the possibility that the transaction may be characterised differently for tax purposes than for legal or accounting purposes; and (f) corporate-action risk in the underlying issuer.
Past performance of any underlying security or market is not indicative of future results.
