Inline Warrants are a type of structured product which entitles its holder to receive a fixed pre-determined amount during stable market condition. Unlike Derivative Warrants or CBBCs, the amount depends on whether the spot price or level of an underlying asset is at or falls within ("in-the-range") or outside ("out-of-the-range") the upper and lower strike prices or levels at expiry. Inline Warrants may be issued with a lifespan of six months to five years.

Due to the nature of Inline Warrants, investors should be aware that Inline Warrants prices will react differently to movements in underlying price or level, time to maturity, implied volatility as compared to standard warrants. Furthermore, Inline Warrants prices may move in the same direction as or the inverse of the underlying price or level during the lifespan of the product, depending on where the underlying price or level is compared to the upper and lower strike prices or levels.

Inline Warrants may be bought and sold prior to their expiry on the cash market of HKEX. At expiry, settlement is made in cash only.

Customers should have a comprehensive understanding of other potential risks prior to investment. Please refer to Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) website and other documents from Issuer for detailed information.
