  1. How do I invest?  
    You can trade High Yield Note (HYN) by opening a securities account with us for free with no minimum deposit required. We can help you to look for the HYNs according to your investment needs and expectations. Most HYNs are bought and sold in the over-the-counter (OTC) market through the securities dealers' network.

  2. How do I trade HYNs in the primary market?  
    Primarily international financial institutions and investment banks that are active players in the securities markets issue HYNs. In the primary markets, HYNs are originated by these international financial institutions and offered to investors through the private banking firms and securities dealers' distribution network. With a strong professional dealing team and its powerful distribution network, SHKIS plays a prominent role in the HYN primary distribution process. We can provide you with the most competitive pricing in the primary markets. On top of that, we can also offer you customized services. Working through us, you may have the structure of the HYN tailor-made in the primary market to meet your investment objectives or to suit your risk profiles. For example, you may set your requirements on parameters such as the level of strike prices, investment periods, underlying stocks, types of market strategies, etc. These parameters can be adjusted to match you expectations and financial situations. We can also provide you with scenario analysis and risk-reward assessment of investment strategies for an underlying stock from different issuers. For further details, please click HERE.

  3. What benefits will I get from trading HYNs in the secondary market?  
    You can buy and sell HYNs in the secondary markets. Most HYNs are traded in the secondary markets after they are successfully issued in the primary markets. There are hundreds of HYNs outstanding in the secondary markets. With our powerful dealing mechanism, we are in position to deliver prompt and effective response to your enquiries by finding the most competitively priced HYNs that meet your requirements.
In most circumstances, issuers will provide bid and offer prices in the secondary markets for HYNs issued by them. That means you can have better protection on your investments in the case where you have to liquidate your HYN positions when the market goes against you.

  5. What are the fees and commissions?  
    In most circumstances, we quote you HYN prices net. That means the dealing price quoted on HYNs includes all transaction costs. What you have to pay for settlement of your HYN purchase is the dealing price times your nominal investment amount.

  6. Are there any other underlying stocks apart from Hong Kong stocks?  
    Apart from Hong Kong stocks, you can buy HYNs with underlying stocks listed in other major stock exchanges, like US stocks, Singapore Stocks. The HYN will be denominated in the currency of the stock traded. For settlement of purchases of HYNs denominated in foreign currencies you can still pay us the currencies of your purchase. Otherwise, you can settle the foreign currency denominated HYN transaction through us by paying HK dollar. We provide foreign exchange services and we can convert currencies for you without extra charges.
