3. Subscription and Redemption Applications and Payment

3.1 Any Instruction to subscribe for or purchase, redeem, sell or switch any Unit or Portfolio (whether in whole or in part) must be made electronically through the Company’s mobile application or any manner as prescribed by the Company, accompanied by any required documentation as may be required by the Company from time to time.

3.2 All Instructions and the resulting transactions and payment in relation to the subscription, switching or redemption of Units shall be subject to the Dealing Procedures and/or any other requirements as prescribed by the Company from time to time. The Company is entitled, without reference to the Client and without giving any reason, either ignore any Instruction that fails to comply with the Dealing Procedures or such other requirements of the Company, or to execute such Instruction with such modifications to it as may be necessary to comply with the Dealing Procedures or such other requirements of the Company from time to time. For instance, should the Client place an Instruction to redeem any Units and, as a result of such Instruction, there will remain a balance of 0.0001 Unit or less (or any other fractional Unit as determined by the Company from time to time) following the execution of such Instruction (“Remaining Fractional Units”), the Client hereby authorises the Company to redeem any Remaining Fractional Units on behalf of the Client, which transaction shall be deemed to be a part of the original Instruction. The Company will not be responsible to the Client for any losses, damages, costs or expenses that the Client may suffer or incur arising from or in connection with any delay or failure in transmitting or effecting any Instruction to subscribe, purchase, switch, transfer, redeem, sell or otherwise deal with any Units or Portfolios in connection with exercising such discretion.

3.3 The Company is authorised to act on any Instruction given or purportedly given by or on behalf of the Client. The Company does not have any obligation to authenticate, verify the completeness and accuracy of any such Instruction or verify the identity of any person giving such Instruction.

3.4 The Company shall be entitled to rely and act on any such Instruction which the Company in good faith believes to be genuine, and shall not be responsible for any loss which the Client may incur as a result. However, the Company has absolute discretion to refuse to act upon any such Instruction without reason, and the Company will not be responsible to the Client for any losses, damages, costs or expenses that the Client may suffer or incur arising from or in connection with any delay or failure in transmitting or effecting any Instructions to subscribe, purchase, switch, transfer, redeem, sell or otherwise deal with any Units or Portfolios.

3.5 The Client’s right to give Instructions via a particular channel shall at all times be subject to the discretion of the Company. The Company may at any time revoke the Client’s right to give Instructions through a particular channel without prior notice. The Company shall execute any Instructions placed by the Client or any Authorised Person by placing it with the relevant fund manager, Fund or product issuer upon receipt of the Instruction and payment of the purchase price, subscription moneys or expenses payable by the Client to the Company.

3.6 The Company will effect any Instruction as soon as practicable, however, the execution of such Instruction may not coincide with the timeframe stipulated in the relevant offering documents of the Fund. The Client acknowledges that orders placed by the Client with the Company may be aggregated and consolidated either daily or from time to time by the Company together with orders placed by the Company’s other clients for the purpose of placement of such orders by the Company with the relevant fund manager, Fund or product issuer for execution.

3.7 Subject to the continuing operation of an Account, an Instruction will generally be processed on the day of receipt by the Company of such Instruction if a valid and complete Instruction (together with all monies, required information and documents) is received by the Company before the dealing cut off times for the relevant Fund as specified by the Company in its sole and absolute discretion from time to time. If an Instruction (and monies) is received after this dealing cut off time or on a day when a typhoon Signal No. 8 (or above) or black rainstorm warning has been issued in Hong Kong, execution will be done usually on the next dealing date of the Fund in accordance with the terms of the offering documents of the Fund (or as otherwise determined by the relevant fund manager, Fund or product issuer). The Client must specify the choice of the Fund or Portfolio (where appropriate) in order for the Instruction to be processed. The Company reserves the right to delay or refuse to process or accept any Instruction, if in its reasonable opinion, there are grounds for doing so.

3.8 The actual bid price (the “Actual Bid Price”) and offer price of a Fund shall be determined at the time when the transaction is effected and settled and any figures which may be quoted or provided to the Client by the Company or its representatives at the time of Instruction (the “Quoted Price”) are for reference only and are not binding on the Company.

3.9 The Company has no authority to accept Instructions (or applications) for subscription, switching or redemption of any Unit for and on behalf of any fund manager, Fund or product issuer. Receipt of such Instructions and the requisite payment and any other documentation by the Company shall not amount to acceptance of the Instruction by the relevant fund manager, Fund or product issuer.

3.10 The Client acknowledges that any fund manager, Fund or product issuer who receives an Instruction from the Company is not obliged to accept such order in part or whole. The Company shall have no responsibility nor liability for ensuring that the relevant Fund manager, Fund or product issuer allots the Units or for any losses (including any loss of investment opportunity) which the Client may suffer or incur as a result of any refusal to accept or delay in accepting such Instruction by the fund manager, Fund or product issuer.

3.11 The Client acknowledges that (a) the purchase price, subscription moneys or expenses payable by the Client to the Company (or another person as specified by the Company) in relation to each order to buy or subscribe for Units or Portfolios shall be debited from an Account designated by the Client (or otherwise directed by the Company from time to time); and (b) any redemption proceeds received by the Company in relation to each order to sell, redeem or otherwise dispose of the Units (whether such Units are part of a Portfolio or not) shall, in any event, be paid or credited to an Account designated by the Client and agreed by the Company in accordance with the settlement periods stipulated in the offering documents of the relevant Funds (or otherwise determined by the Fund manager, Fund or product issuer from time to time) ; and (c) the fees charged by the Company such as platform usage fees shall be debited from an Account designated by the Client (or otherwise directed by the Company from time to time).

3.12 If at any time there is insufficient balance in the Account that the Client has elected (or otherwise directed by the Company from time to time) to make the required payments under Clause 3.11(a) and (c) of this Appendix (for example, the Client has designated the Securities Account to make such payments), the Client irrevocably directs and authorises the Company to, without prior notice to the Client, set-off or transfer any sum standing to the credit of the Client’s other Account (for example, the Fund Account), towards the satisfaction of any payments to be made under Clause 3.11(a) and (c) of this Appendix.

3.13 The Client further agrees that for purchases or subscriptions of Units or Portfolios, the Company reserves the right to reject or delay the processing of any orders if there are insufficient funds in the Account designated for payment or if cleared funds (free of any deductions or withholdings) are not received by such time as prescribed by the Company.

3.14 The Company is authorised to take such steps as it may consider expedient to enable it to provide Fund Subscription Services to the Client including the right to withhold and/or make payment of any taxes or duties payable on or in respect of the Units without any liability thereof and to disclose information about the Client (including your authorised persons and beneficiaries), any Units or Portfolios held by the Client or any transactions in connection thereto in accordance with the Applicable Regulations or to any of the Company’s Affiliates, any third party service providers or agents of the Company, a fund manager, a Fund or product issuer (or its representatives) upon request.

3.15 The Client agrees to (and shall procure that any Authorised Person to) provide the Company with such information, materials and documents in such manner and take such steps and by such time as prescribed by the Company from time to time so as to enable the Company or any of its Affiliates to effect an Instruction, perform the Fund Subscription Services and/or to comply with any term of any document in respect of any Funds, Applicable Regulations and the applicable market practice.

4. Title and Registration of Investments

4.1 If the Client subscribes for Units in a Fund (including any Units in a Fund that forms a part of a Portfolio), the Units will be registered in the name of the Company or jointly in the name of the Company and in the Client’s name, or in the Client’s name only (as the case may be). The Company will not be the beneficiary of any of your investments in a Fund.

4.2 No Unit certificates will be issued to the Client. The Client will be sent a confirmation of its subscription/acquisition (or disposal) of any Unit.

5. Reports and Voting

5.1 Subject to the requirements of the Applicable Regulations, the Company and the custodian shall have no duty or obligation to exercise the voting rights or other elective rights of any Units subscribed or acquired, or received or held for the Client, except upon the prior written Instructions of the Client or any Authorised Person in such form and by such time as prescribed by the Company from time to time, and then only upon such terms, conditions, indemnities, fees and charges as agreed upon between the Company and the Client.

5.2 In the absence of such Instructions and agreements, the Company and the custodian shall be entitled to, but not obliged to, exercise the voting rights or other elective rights of any Fund (if any). Under such circumstance, the Client agrees that the Company and the custodian may be exempted from any duty and obligation in respect of notification and delivery of any proxy or other document issued to the Client, unless otherwise provided in the Applicable Regulations.
