global stock account is a margin account. if the global stock account has a marginable value, the purchasing power will be used to make monthly contribution. client will remain liable for any resulting deficit in the account and interest charged on the account.

if the customer has applied for the 'all-in-one buying power' service, the buying power within the hong kong and u.s. stock accounts will be combined to calculate the monthly investment amount.

for new clients, you can open a global stock account through “e-account opening”, or visit our head office or any branch to open a global stock account for monthly us stocks investment plan. you can subscribe the *monthly us stocks investment plan through “chief trader” mobile app (android or ios).

*monthly us stocks investment plan is only available for online subscription.

the contribution amount will be deducted directly from client’s global stock account at 15:00 of the“monthly purchase date”. if that day is a non-trading day for hk stock market and/or us stock market, the monthly purchase date will be postponed to the next trading day for both markets.

client must ensure that client’s global stock account has sufficient us dollar cash balance and/or purchasing power on the monthly purchase date to cover the contribution amount.

there is a minimum of buying one share for each stock in monthly us stocks investment plan. if the contribution amount is not sufficient to buy one share, or the stock price goes up which exceeded the contribution amount, the selected stock will not be purchased and the monthly contribution for that month will be automatically suspended once. the relevant amount will be remained in client's global stock account (no transaction fees will be deducted).

please check the stock quote before setting the contribution amount.

over 100 us stocks and etf are available for the monthly us stocks investment plan. if you have any us stock suggestions other than those listed, feel free to contact us.

clients who wish to vary the contribution amount, investment portfolio, or terminate the plan should submit such application through “chief trader” mobile app before 2:00 pm of the monthly purchase date. any application submitted on or after this time will be handled next month.

there is no minimum contribution period for this plan.

in whole share mode, the minimum contribution amount is us$10 with increments of us$10 per unit. customers can choose the fifth and/or the fifteenth hong kong stock trading day of each month as the purchase date.

in fractional share mode, the minimum contribution amount is us$1 with increments of us$1 per unit. customers may also select the fifth and/or the fifteenth hong kong stock trading day of each month as the purchase date.

if the stock selected by the client is suspended on the ‘monthly purchase date’, the monthly investment plan will be automatically suspended once. the relevant contribution will be deposited into the client's global stock account (no transaction fees will be deducted).

in whole share mode, if the amount is insufficient to purchase one share during the trading period, the monthly investment plan selected by the client will be automatically suspended once and the contribution amount will not be accumulated to the next month. the relevant contribution will be deposited into the customer's global stock account (no transaction fees will be deducted).

in fractional share mode, even if the client's accumulated funds are not enough to buy a whole share, we will still proceed to purchase fractional shares according to the client's monthly investment instructions (e.g., 0.1 of a share).

when clients choose ‘suspend’, they can put a temporary stop on the monthly contribution of the stock from the following month until they choose to restart, and the average contribution of the stock will continue to accumulate; if clients choose ‘terminate’ on the stock, subsequent applications of the same stock will require a recalculation of the monthly contribution. there is no charge for suspending monthly payments.

the target number of shares is the goal of the entire plan. assuming that the target number of shares is one share, when the supply of one share is completed, the monthly investment plan will be completed and monthly contributions will cease.

1. the target number of shares refers to the total number of shares to be purchased through the monthly investment plan.
2. the target number of shares does not include non-monthly purchase, bonus shares, and stocks deposited through settlement instructions. the system will only purchase the relevant shares according to the target number of shares you set (for example, if you deposit 30 shares and set the target number of shares at 100, the total number of shares will be 130 shares when the plan is set).
3. if the client only wants to suspend contributions, they can choose to suspend instead of terminating the plan. once the plan is terminated, when you apply for the same stock again, you need to provide new instructions and set a new target number of shares; if the monthly investment plan is suspended, stocks will be purchased according to the original target when the plan is resumed.
4. if the customer's account already possesses stocks (for example 35 shares) and wished to round up the portfolio (for example 100 shares), but it is not clear whether there is a settlement instruction or other deposit arrangement, it is recommended to cancel the existing instructions first and set new instructions. the client can set a new target of 65 shares so that the total number of shares when the plan is met is 100 shares. (please note that the average monthly contribution of the stock will be recalculated.)
5. contributions will be stopped when the target number of shares is met.

the monthly u.s. stock investment plan is calculated by amount. if clients wish to contribute monthly for one share, they can go to the whole share mode order page and add an 'advanced setting,' where they input 'maximum number of shares each time' any remaining balance (if any) will be returned to the client's account after the monthly investment is completed.

there is a method for clients' reference: if the stock price is about us$950 and you only want to pay a monthly contribution of us$200 per month.

in whole share mode, as long as the client sets the monthly payment amount to us$1,000 and makes a monthly deposit of us$200, since the account will be automatically suspended after 4 months because the account has not reached us$1,000, the monthly contribution will be made in the fifth month to meet us$1,000, and the balance will be retained in the account.

in fractional share mode, even if the client's accumulated capital does not reach the amount needed to purchase one full share, we will still proceed to buy fractional shares according to the client’s monthly instructions (e.g., 0.1 of a share).

the buying power of the global stock account is calculated according to the us dollar equivalent of all currencies (hkd, usd, sgd, etc.) in the account, which means that the client can internally transfer the cash balance of the hong kong stock account after 6pm hong kong time on the trading day, depositing hong kong dollars into the global stock account. after depositing, the buying power of the global stock account will be increased accordingly. client can issue an instruction to increase the buying power first. after the transaction is completed, it will be converted to us dollar settlement within two trading days. if there is no transaction on the day, an internal transfer can be made during hong kong trading hours into a hong kong stock account for trading hong kong stocks to minimize currency exchange. if the client sells us stocks on the same day after buying, only the difference needs to be settled.
