PRESIDENT SECURITIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT MARCH 31, 2025 AND 2024
For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR25000336
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PRESIDENT SECURITIES CORPORATION
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Securities Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three months then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants” and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
~2~
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(12), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method were not reviewed by independent auditors. Those statements reflect total assets of $1,620,741 thousand and $1,541,174 thousand, constituting 0.77% and 0.85% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of $70,836 thousand and $51,804 thousand, constituting 0.04 % and 0.04 % of the consolidated total liabilities as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and total comprehensive income (loss) of $7,309 thousand and $13,681 thousand, constituting 20.42% and 0.72% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months then ended, respectively. The balance of such investments accounted for under the equity method as at March 31, 2025 and 2024 were $3,713,870 thousand and $878,051 thousand, respectively; the Group’s share of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, including share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, for the three months then ended were $46,969 thousand and $80,844 thousand, constituting 131.23% and 4.25% of total consolidated comprehensive income, respectively.
Qualified Conclusion
Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method been reviewed by independent auditors as described in the Basis for qualified conclusion section above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at March 31, 2025 and 2024, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the
~3~
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”, “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants” and International Accounting Standard No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

-
A. During the Group’s activities, the transferred financial assets that do not meet derecognition conditions are mainly debt instruments with purchase agreements or debt instruments lent out in accordance with securities borrowing and lending agreement.

The Group may not use, sell or pledge the transferred financial assets during the valid period of the transaction. The financial assets were not derecognized as the Group is still exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk.

Risk management processes include risk identification, risk evaluation, risk supervision and various risk control. Each kind of risk evaluations and responding strategies are described as follows:
- (A) Market risk management
The Group has implemented risk management information system (Risk Manager) in
~53~

Limit exceeding indicators are mainly the nominal principal, stop-loss, sensitivity (Greeks) and VaR. The risk management report is presented on a daily basis for implementation of regular control and limit exceeding handling procedures.
- (B) Credit risk management
In relation to risk control, the quantitative model of default rate adopts KMV model to calculate the default rate of issuers with credit exposure of the issuing company and the trading counterparties, and credit risk of securities disclosed in the report. The credit exposure is mitigated through regular review of credit status.

Limit exceeding indicators mainly include nominal principal, stop-loss point, price sensitivity and VaR. With the presentation of daily risk management report, routine control and limit exceeding treatment can be executed.
-
(C) The continued effectiveness of hedging and risk-offsetting strategy is measured by the gain and loss of overall position (hedging position and trading position), in order to track reasonableness of the profit or loss of hedging position and the offsetting relationship with the profit or loss of trading position, and to control them within a reasonable range.
-
-
2) Credit risk
-
A. Source and definition of credit risk
The credit risk exposure of the Group as a result of engagement in financial transactions include issuer’s credit risk, credit risk of counterparty and credit risk of underlying assets:
~54~
-
(A) Credit risk of the issuer refers to the issuers of financial debt instruments held by the Group failing to repay its obligation due to the fact that the issuer breaches the contract resulting in the risk of financial loss to the Group.
-
(B) Credit risk of counterparty refers to risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the counterparty of financial instruments on the settlement or payment obligation.
-
(C) Credit risk of the underlying assets happens when the credit rating of the underlying assets linked to the financial instrument is downgraded by the rating agency or when the losses occur as a result of contract default.
The financial assets held by the Group which could result in credit risk include bank deposit, debt securities, derivatives transactions in OTC, bonds purchased/sold under resale/repurchase agreements, refundable deposit of securities lending, futures trade margins, other refundable deposits and receivables.
- B. Maximum credit risk exposure and credit risk concentration
The maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheet, without consideration of the collateral or other credit enhancements, is equivalent to the carrying amount. In Taiwan, the sources of credit risk of the Group are primarily resulting from cash deposited with banks or other financial institutions, debt securities issued or guaranteed by a bank, derivative instruments transaction underwritten by the Group, and all counterparties of customer margin deposits accounts being financial institutions. Credit risks of various financial assets are as follows:
- (A) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposit, demand deposits and checking deposits. Correspondent institutions are mainly domestic financial institutions.
-
(B) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - current
-
a. Fund
- The funds held by the Group are bond funds. As the positions held are not significant, credit risk is deemed low.
-
b. Commercial papers
The commercial papers held by the Group are under resale agreements. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.
- c. Debt securities
Debt securities are mainly positions like government bonds, convertible corporate bonds and foreign bonds and the issuers are primarily R.O.C. government, domestic and foreign legal entities. 9% of convertible corporate bond is guaranteed by banks. Details are as follows:
- (a) Government bonds
The bonds held by the Group are mostly government bonds (inclusive of central and local government). As a whole, the credit risk of the bonds held by the Group is low.
- (b) Corporate bonds
The corporate bonds held by the Group are mainly underlying investment with good credit rating and those with rating above (S&P BB).

-
(D) Derivatives - futures trade margin When engaging in futures trades in stock exchange market, the Group needs to deposit margin into a margin deposit account of a financial institution designated by the futures merchants as a guarantee to fulfil contractual obligation in the future. As a result, the credit risk is low.
-
(E) Derivatives - OTC
-
The Group signs International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with each counterparty when engaging in OTC derivatives as an agreement regarding such transactions for both parties. In the agreement, it provides a fundamental contractual model for OTC derivative transactions. If any party breaches the contract or terminates the transactions early, then all the open interest covered in the agreement should be settled by net amount as bound in the contract. When the ISDA agreement is signed, the Credit Support Annex (CSA) is also signed. According to the CSA, collateral will be transferred from a party to the other during transaction process to mitigate the risk of counterparty in open interest. Please refer to Note 6(11).
-
Types of OTC derivative transactions in which the Group is engaged include structured notes and swap transaction. The counterparties are all from financial service industry and mainly located in Taiwan, United States, and United Kingdom.
-
(F) Bonds investment under a resale agreement Bonds sold under a resale agreement are the bonds that the client sold to the Group at a price, interest rate, length of period as agreed by two parties and the client shall repurchase the bonds at the specified price upon maturity. The Group needs to assume credit risk from counterparties when underwriting such business, as the payment being delivered to the other party. With consideration of good collateral obtained, the net of credit risk exposure from counterparties can be effectively reduced. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risks from counterparties are extremely low. Please refer to Note 6(11).
-
(G) Margin loans receivable
-
Margin loans receivable are the loans provided to the client in order to process businesses of margin trading and short sale using the securities purchased through financing as collateral. The Group monitors the clients’ margin ratio through information system on a daily basis. As the margin ratio of margin trading is set at 130% according to Regulations Governing the Conduct of Securities Trading Margin Purchase and Short Sale Operations by Securities Firms, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(H) Receivables of securities business money lending Receivables of securities business money lending are the non-restricted purpose loan business and monetary financing business, pursuant to an agreement between a securities firm and a customer, using customer securities and other commodities as collateral. The Group regularly assesses its customer line of credit and implements appropriate credit control. As the margin ratio of margin trading is set at 130% according to Regulations Governing the Conduct of Securities Trading Margin Purchase and Short Sale Operations by Securities Firms, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(I) Guaranteed price for securities lending Guaranteed price for securities lending is the sale price of the Group’s securities sold by other securities firms through margin trading after deduction of securities transactions tax
~56~
and service fee, which is deposited in other securities firms as collateral. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.
-
(J) Refundable deposits for securities lending
- Refundable deposits for securities lending are the margins deposited in other securities firm as collateral when the Group’s securities are sold. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.
-
(K) Receivables Receivables are the credit rights arising from the securities business including settlement receivables of consignment trading, settlement receivables of operating securities sold, financing interest receivables of self-operating credit transaction, receivables of consignment trading for securities, and receivables from banks’ underwriting on foreign exchange transactions and foreign fund demand. As the majority of the Group’s receivables from the consignment businesses and self-operating businesses are settlement of securities from OTC or TWSE, the credit risk is extremely low. As the foreign exchange transactions are simply the receipt or payment of different currencies and the correspondent banks are of good credit rating, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(L) Other current assets
- Other current assets are mainly the collateral deposited in the bank for application for shortterm debt limit and guarantee for application for issuance of commercial papers. As the correspondent banks are all financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(M) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - non-current In order to underwrite trust business, the Group deposits central government bonds in the Central Bank as collateral. Regardless of the bonds themselves or the financial institutions where the bonds are deposited, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(N) Other non-current assets Other non-current assets mainly comprise operating guarantee deposits, settlement funds, and refundable deposits. Operating guarantee deposits are mainly deposited in domestic banks with good credit rating. Settlement funds are deposited in securities exchange. Settlement funds are used as compensation when a party to a marketable securities transaction fails to fulfil the settlement obligation. The credit risks from the institutions where these two assets are deposited are extremely low. The refundable deposits refer to cash or other assets which are deposited externally by the Group and can be used as refundable deposits. Because deposits are placed in various financial institutions and each deposit amount is small, the credit risk is dispersed and the credit exposure of overall refundable deposit is extremely low.
-
C. Expected credit loss assessment
-
In the assessment of impairment and calculation of expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and supporting information about past events, current conditions and future economic conditions. The Group determines at the balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or whether credit impairment has occurred, and recognizes expected credit loss according to which stage the asset belongs: no significant increase in credit risk or low credit risk at balance sheet date (Stage 1), significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2), and credit impaired (Stage 3). 12-month expected credit losses are recognized for assets in Stage 1, and lifetime expected credit loses are recognized for assets in Stage 2 and Stage 3.
~57~
The definition of and expected credit losses recognized for each stage are as follows:
| Item | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | No significant deterioration of credit quality of the financial asset since initial recognition, or the financial asset is considered low-risk at the balance sheet date. |
Significant deterioration of credit quality of the financial asset since initial recognition, but the asset is not yet credit impaired. |
The financial asset is credit impaired at the financial reporting date. |
| Expected credit losses recognition |
12-month expected credit losses |
Lifetime expected credit losses |
Lifetime expected credit losses |
-
(A) Judgements of the significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
-
Judgements and assumptions used to determine whether the credit risk has a significant increase since initial recognition when the Group calculates expected credit loss under IFRS 9 are as follows:
-
a. If contractual payments are over 30 days past due according to the payment terms, the financial asset is considered to have significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
-
b. There is significant increase in credit risk at the reporting date if the credit rating of the issuer has been downgraded by more than 2 grades and the final external credit rating at the reporting date is non-investment grade, if the interest payments are over 30 days past due, or if there has been a default in the past.
-
(B) Definition of default and credit-impaired financial assets
-
According to the definition of credit impairment set by IFRS 9, a financial asset is creditimpaired when one or more events that have occurred and have a significant impact on the expected future cash flows of the financial asset. The criteria used to judge whether a financial asset is credit-impaired since initial recognition includes but is not limited to the following:
-
a. Contractual payments or principal or interest payments on bonds are over 3 months (90 days) past due.

b. The collateral and the assets of the primary and secondary debtors could not be auctioned off after multiple attempts and multiple price discounts, and the Company has not received any real benefits in assuming the collateral.
-
c. Payments are over two years past due and could not be recovered after attempts to collect.
~58~
-
(D) Measurement of expected credit losses
-
The Group considers reasonable supporting information which shows significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition when calculating expected credit losses. Main indexes include: internal/external credit rating, information of past due, credit spread, other market information in relation to the borrower, issuer or counterparty, and significant increase in credit risk of other financial instrument of the same borrower.
-
Investments in bills and bonds
-
(a)Probability of default was based on external credit rating, which include forward-looking information.
-
(b)Loss given default was based on the average loss given default of external credit rating of investment position and counterparties.
-
(c)Exposure at default
- Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3: Total carrying amount (including interest receivable).
-
-
(E) Consideration of forward-looking information
- Historical loss rate (based on the historical experience in the past 3 to 5 years) as obtained and compared with economic environment in the past, nowadays and future (forwardlooking factor) to see whether there is any significant change, and then to properly adjust future loss rate standards. If any significant default event occurs, the loss rate in the current year will be included in the calculation of future loss rate standard.
-
D.Table of movements in loss provision of the Group
-
(A) At March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, there were no changes in the loss allowance for investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(B) Except for bond interest receivable which was evaluated along with debt investments, the Group applies the simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for marginal receivables, accounts receivable, other receivable-others and overdue receivables. The movements in loss provision of marginal receivables, accounts receivable, other receivable-others and other non-current assetsoverdue receivables of the Group are as follows:

3) Liquidity risk
- A. Definition and source of liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to possible financial losses arising from the inability to realize the asset or to obtain sufficient fund to fulfil the financial liabilities soon to be matured. Above situations may weaken the sources of cash from the Group’s trading and investment activities.
- B. Liquidity risk management procedure and stimulation test
In order to prevent operational crisis as a result of liquidity risk, the Group has established responding crisis process with regular monitoring over liquidity gap of fund.
- (A) Procedure
In addition to the operating capital for various business and long-term investment, the Group needs to maintain revolving funds at a certain level for daily operation. The use of remaining fund shall avoid high concentration and should be based on the principle of holding sound earning assets with high liquidity and treated in compliance with policies of the Group.
The responsive unit for fund procurement adjusts the liquidity gap to ensure proper liquidity according to the daily volume and movement in the market.
-
(B) Stimulation test
-
a. The Group reviews fund liquidity risk from a perspective of supply and demand of fund every month with simulation analysis of available fund for emergency including
~60~
scenario analysis of cash, funding limit of financial institutions, margin loans and short sale, and value of disposal of position in order to compute maximum available fund and fund demand. Finally, safety stock of fund is reviewed to monitor liquidity risk.
- b. Above liquidity risk is generally reviewed monthly. However, if the available limit of increment banking credit risk in financing limit of a financial institution is lower than a certain amount (that is, the amount may be timely adjusted according to the fund liquidity in the market and the actual fund demand and supply in an entity), the safety stock will be reviewed weekly. After the early warning report for fund is submitted, the head of finance segment will call for a fund control meeting.
- c. Other than individual funding liquidity risk of an entity, stress test of minimization funding supply and maximization funding demand in the event of significant crisis is simulated, including:
- (a)When there is a significant crisis in the market, the financing limit of the financial institutions and the value of disposal of position can be deemed the minimized ratio of fund supply which is then adjusted according to actual condition to compute the total fund supply under maximum stress.
- (b)Except for the operating expense, the stock concept is adopted for the calculation of total fund demand under maximum stress.
- (c)The Group should conduct a review to see whether the total minimized fund supply is more than maximized total fund demand. The Group should further review how long (by month) the difference may cover the operating expenses so that the safety stock of fund (by month) under stress test can be computed.
- (d)The minimum safety stock of fund under stress test (by month) may be adjusted according to the crisis itself and only operating expense for at least 6 months under a normal stimulation can be deemed safe.
-
C. Maturity analysis for the financial assets and financial liabilities held for liquidity risk management
-
(A)The Group holds cash and sound earning assets with high liquidity in order to fulfil the payment obligation and potential emergency fund demand in the market. Financial assets held for liquidity risk management are mainly cash and cash equivalents, among which, all time deposits mature within a year. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are mainly listed stocks, convertible bonds and debt securities. As all of them have positions in active market, the liquidity risk is deemed low.
~61~
(B) Maturity analysis for the financial liabilities is as follows:
| Short-term loans Commercial papers payable Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - current Non-derivative financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities Bonds sold under repurchase agreements Deposits on short sales Deposits payable for securities financing Securities lending refundable deposits Futures traders’ equity Accounts payable (includes notes payable) Collections on behalf of third parties Other payables Other financial liabilities - current Lease liabilities Total |

4) Market risk
A. Definition of market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of decrease in the Group’s revenue or value of investment portfolio as a result of the changes in exchange rate, commodity price, interest rate, and stock price or other market risk factors.
The Group continually exercises risk management tools such as sensitivity analysis, Value at Risk, stress test and so on to completely and effectively measure, monitor and manage market risk.
B. Value at Risk (VaR)
Value at Risk is used to measure the possible maximum potential losses in investment portfolio as a result of movement in market risk factor in a specified period and confidence level. The Group currently uses confidence level of 95% to calculate Value at Risk of one day.
A VaR model must reasonably, completely and accurately measure the maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolio before being adopted as a risk management model by the Group. The VaR model used in risk management is continually certified and retrospectively tested to demonstrate that the model can reasonably and effectively measure the maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolios.

The fair value of investment property held by the Group was assessed by external valuation experts using comparison approach and income approach, or the fair value can be assessed based on the market price of the area adjacent to the location where the Group’s investment property is located.
-
B. Valuation techniques
-
(A)For financial instruments held for trading purposes which are classified as non-derivative instruments, their fair values are based on their quoted prices in an active market. If there is no quoted market price for reference, a valuation technique will be adopted to measure the fair value. Estimates and assumptions of valuation technique adopted by the Group are in agreement with the information of estimates and assumptions adopted by market users for financial instrument pricing and the said information shall be accessible to the Group. For those classified as derivative instruments, their fair values are based on their market prices if their quoted prices are available from an active market. If quoted market prices in an active market are not available, SWAP and IRS are valued at the discounted cash flow method, and
~68~
options are valued at the Black-Scholes model.
-
(B)When financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income have quoted market prices available in an active market, the fair value is determined using the market price.
-
C. Fair value hierarchy of the financial instruments
-
(A)Definitions for the hierarchy classifications of financial instruments measured at fair value a. Level 1
Level 1, are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. An active market has to satisfy all the following conditions: a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The Group’s investments in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates, on-the-run Taiwan central government bonds and derivative instruments with quoted market prices, are deemed as Level 1.
- b. Level 2
Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Investments of the Group such as emerging stock without active markets, off-the-run issue of government bonds, corporate bonds, bank debentures, convertible corporate bonds, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, options, asset swaps, and most derivatives are all classified within level 2. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no significant transfer of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2.
- c. Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in unlisted stocks is included in Level 3. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, some of the unlisted stocks became the emerging stocks, therefore these stocks were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.

(E) Valuation process for fair value at Level 3
The parent company’s risk management department is responsible for the verification of fair value categorized in Level 3. The department assesses the independence, reliability, consistency and representativeness of the source information, regularly verifies the valuation models and calibrates the parameters to ensure the valuation process and results are in compliance with IFRS Accounting Standards.
- (F) For the fair value measurement of Level 3, the sensitivity analysis of the fair value to the reasonable alternative hypothesis shows that the fair value measurement of the financial assets by the Group is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. The following is the impact to profit or loss or to other comprehensive income from financial assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 if the inputs used in valuation models have changed up or down by 1%:

-
(A) Each segment should provide accurate and valid source of information to maintain calculation accuracy of capital adequacy ratio.
-
(B) After the reporting at the 10th of each month, capital adequacy ratio should be computed by the end of every month. If the result is close to the legal standard, every unit will be called to attend a meeting for discussion and strategic planning to ensure that the basic objective of capital adequacy ratio is not less than 200%.
-
(C) Both the risk limits and economic capital of the Group should be agreed by the Board of Directors. The Group should quarterly report details of risk control with disclosure of investment condition in order to assess whether the risk position exceeds the limit and whether the investment direction is in line with the market trend. Within the authorized risk limits, the Group is actively engaged in development of various businesses and continually increases profit, creates company value, and complies with the capital management objective.
The Group calculates and reports the capital adequacy ratio according to “Rules Governing Securities Firms”. As of March 31, 2025, December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the capital adequacy ratios were 323%, 332% and 294%, respectively, as required by the regulations.

10) Prospective risk for futures trading
The main risk for futures merchants engaging in futures trading is credit risk, which could happen if the margin call cannot be made when it should have been made. While being consigned to conduct the futures trading, the Group pays attention to the individual margin account on a daily basis and request additional margin call or reduction in trading volume when necessary according to the condition of individual customer transactions in order to control the credit risk accordingly. The main risk faced by the Group while engaging in self-operating businesses is market price risk- that is risk of changes in market prices of futures or options contracts as a result of fluctuation in underlying investment index. Losses may occur if the market index price and underlying investment move adversely. However, the Group has set up stop-loss point to control such risk for reasons of risk management.
