Global Reach & Local Expertise

Important Notes

• Before applying to become a High-Net-Worth Client of the Asset Management Zone, applicants should fully understand that clients admitted to the Asset Management Zone have higher asset levels, professional expertise, and risk-bearing capabilities than ordinary clients. As a result, the regulations governing investment products, derivative transactions, and investor protection applicable to Asset Management Zone clients differ from those applicable to general investors. These differences include, but are not limited to:
  1. Asset Management Zone clients may invest in products with higher risk levels or more complex structures.
  2. When providing investment or discretionary investment services to Asset Management Zone clients, the Bank may be subject to less stringent requirements regarding: Credit assessments of product issuers and guarantors, Product due diligence and review procedures prior to launch, Review periods for related documents, and Controls over marketing activities and solicitation restrictions
• Investors should fully understand that, after meeting the eligibility requirements for Asset Management Zone high-net-worth clients or other categories of professional investors recognized under applicable laws and regulations, they may be exempt from certain protections and obligations that would otherwise apply. By applying for and agreeing to become an Asset Management Zone high-net-worth client, investors acknowledge and understand that certain provisions of Taiwan's Financial Consumer Protection Act and related regulations may no longer apply to the financial products and services offered through this segment.
• Investors should understand the applicable legal framework and investor protection arrangements for Asset Management Zone high-net-worth clients and are encouraged to seek independent legal or other professional advice before making investment decisions. Investors should not rely solely on any recommendation or information provided by the Bank and should independently determine whether applying for Asset Management Zone high-net-worth client status is appropriate based on their own circumstances and assessments.
