What is Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect?

Cross-boundary Wealth Management Connect (WMC) provides cross-boundary financial and wealth management services. Individual investors in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area ("GBA") can purchase eligible cross-boundary wealth management products offered by banks in the GBA.

Cross-boundary WMC has a southbound and a northbound stream, depending on the residency of the investors. Southbound Service is available to residents in mainland China cities to purchase wealth management products issued or distributed by eligible Hong Kong banks. Northbound Service is available to residents in Hong Kong and Macau to purchase wealth management products issued or distributed by eligible mainland China banks.

Key features

Hang Seng Bank Limited (referred to as "Hang Seng Hong Kong") partners with our wholly owned subsidiary, Hang Seng Bank (China) Limited (referred to as "Hang Seng China") to offer wealth management options under Cross-boundary WMC Southbound and Cross-boundary WMC Northbound Service.

The Cross-boundary WMC Southbound Service products are distributed by Hang Seng Hong Kong while those for Cross-boundary WMC Northbound Service are distributed by Hang Seng China.

During the initial stage of Cross-boundary WMC, distributing banks in the GBA are providing low-to-medium risk and non-complex wealth management products, including deposits, investment funds and bonds/CDs.

Remittance under Cross-boundary WMC will be conducted and managed in a closed loop through the one-to-one pairing of designated remittance and investment accounts to ensure that the relevant funds will only be used to invest in eligible wealth management products.

The aggregate quota of Cross-boundary WMC Southbound and Northbound Service is RMB 150 billion in each direction. The individual investor quota is RMB 1 million.

Transactions carried out by investors through Cross-boundary WMC Southbound Service and Cross-boundary WMC Northbound Service are subject to the protection of the laws and regulations of Hong Kong and mainland China respectively.

Important point(s) to note

  1. The content of this webpage is for general information and reference only. It is not, and is not intended to be, a solicitation, recommendation, or advice on, or offer of, any investment services or products. Investors should note that all investments involve risks (including the possibility of loss of the capital invested). Prices or value of investment products may go up as well as down and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Investors should not only base on this material alone to make investment decisions, but should read the relevant offering documents of the investment products (including the full text of the risk factors stated therein) and risk disclosure statements of the relevant investment products in detail before making any investment decision. Investors should carefully consider whether an investment is suitable for them in view of their own investment objectives, investment experience, investment tenor, financial situation, risk tolerance abilities, tax implications and other needs, etc., and should understand the nature, terms and risks of the investment products. Investors should obtain independent professional advice if they have concerns about their investment. The content of this webpage has not been reviewed by any regulatory authority in Hong Kong.
  2. RMB currency risk
    RMB is subject to foreign exchange control and restrictions by the Chinese central government. There may be additional rules, regulations and restrictions under contemplation or to be issued by any authorities in mainland China that may be relevant to RMB conversion. The Customer should take reasonable steps to check for updates and details before giving instructions for RMB conversion.
    The exchange rate of RMB may vary from time to time. There is no guarantee that RMB will not depreciate. The exchange rate of RMB traded outside mainland China (“Offshore RMB”) will be affected by, amongst other things, foreign exchange control imposed by the Chinese central government from time to time. The Customer will incur currency conversion costs (being the spread between the purchase and sale of Offshore RMB) and be subject to exchange rate fluctuation risks in any such currency conversion.
  3. Foreign exchange risk
    If the eligible products that are traded by the Customer are not denominated in RMB, the Customer may have to convert RMB into the relevant foreign currency when the Customer invests in that foreign currency denominated eligible product. The Customer will be exposed to exchange rate risk. Besides, if the relevant foreign currency is subject to exchange control, it is possible that the Customer may not receive the relevant foreign currency upon redemption or sale of the relevant foreign currency denominated eligible products. The relevant foreign currency denominated eligible products may also be subject to liquidity risk, credit and insolvency risks of the product issuers.
  4. Investment funds risk
    Investors should note that all investments involve risks (including the possibility of loss of the capital invested). Prices or value of investment funds units may go up as well as down and past performance is not indicative of future performance. Before making any investment decisions, investors should read the relevant offering documents of the investment funds (including the full text of the risk factors stated therein) and risk disclosure statements of the relevant investment funds in detail.
  5. Important risk warning for Bonds/CDs
    Bonds/CDs are investment product. Bonds are not deposits and should not be treated as substitute for conventional time deposits. CDs are not protected deposit and are not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme in Hong Kong. Investors who purchase bonds/CDs are exposed to the credit risk of the issuer and guarantor (if any) of the bonds/CDs. There is no assurance of protection against a default by the issuer/guarantor in respect of the repayment obligations. In the worst case scenario, any failure by the issuer and the guarantor (if any) to perform their respective obligations under the bonds/CDs when due may result in a total loss of all of your investment. Before making any investment decisions, investors should read the relevant offering documents of bonds/CDs (including the full text of the risk factors stated therein) and risk disclosure statements of bonds/CDs in detail.
