Risk factors of warrants



Leverage, also known as gearing works in both ways, meaning one can gain or lose more in trading warrants than investing directly in the underlying asset.

As with all investment products, warrants are subject to price movements in the underlying asset and other prevailing market fluctuations or circumstances. An investor may loss the full amount invested in the warrant.

If held overnight, warrants are subjected to holding costs which increases the longer the holding period is. Manage holding costs by using the warrant calculator.

Warrants with foreign underlying assets are subject to foreign exchange risk. The warrants trade and settle in MYR, and the value of the warrants will change in response to movements in the FX rate, as well as the underlying asset.

Given the HSTECH index has exposure only to technology companies, the performance of the index may not correlate with the performance of other indices that track the market generally or track other sectors or asset classes. This may affect the performance of the Warrants as compared to other warrants that are linked to other indices. The HSTECH warrants may experience increased price volatility of technology stocks and may be more susceptible to economic, market, political or regulatory occurrences affecting technology stocks than other warrants over indices that do not concentrate in the technology sector.
