(ii)“Vote for” and “Vote against” are treated in net basis, which turns out one single consolidated proxy.
(iii)Only the most majority “vote for” or “vote against” prevails. Therefore, “all-or-nothing” would finally apply.

For China StockConnect, voting in person at the shareholding meeting is not applicable. We endeavor to adopt method (i) above, as this is the best treatment of your proxy vote. However for overseas markets where restriction is imposed, we can only adopt method (iii) above, when both methods (i) and (ii) are not feasible.

After Hours Futures

HKEX opened up After Hours Futures Trading Session from 5:15 pm to 3:00 am in which local futures options cannot be traded**. We will make our own calculation for the theoretical price of local futures options based on the price change of local futures. We will base on our internal risk control system to consider whether client have enough equity to open or close local futures position in After Hours Futures Trading Session.
**by the date this document is last edited. After-hour trading session is subjected to HKEX future amendment and Phillip will make necessary change.

 

Margin Requirement

The minimum margin levels for Futures Contracts can be found on the HKEX website. Nevertheless, our Company has the right to set a higher margin requirement according to each client's circumstances.

 

Margin Call：

When the account equity falls below the maintenance margin level, Phillip will make best effort to issue margin call via phone, email or message (if applicable) etc., requesting client to restore the account equity to initial margin level within a specified time by one of the following action：

  1. deposit the margin amount; or
  2. transfer from other Phillip accounts; or
  3. close out position.

Otherwise, Phillip will force liquidate the account position.  Client shall remain liable for any deficit in the account.

Moreover, at volatile market conditions, Phillip reserves the right to call for margin deposit from time to time.  Client should always pay attention to account position and allow sufficient equity to cover potential margin shortfall. 


Force Liquidation Policy：

1.  Phillip will make best effort to call client margin, however, it may not be able to contact client  timely due to various reasons (including volatile market condition).
If client cannot restore the account equity to initial margin level within specified time, Phillip may request client to or force close position(s).

2.  If equity falls below the required margin level or has negative balance when market opens after weekend or holiday, Phillip will make best effort to call client margin or force close position(s) at market price.  Client shall remain liable for any deficit in the account.

3.  Phillip will notify client any force liquidated position(s) by telephone, email or message, and also have those transactions identified in statement.  If the force liquidation is not sufficient to cover negative balance in the account, client shall remain liable for any deficit in the account.


Stop Loss Orders：

Stop Loss Orders can help you to minimize potential losses, to protect unrealised gains at a pre-determined level in adverse market conditions or to initiate a new position. A Stop Loss Order may be executed when the pre-determined target price is triggered even where clients do not hold such a position.
