* Spot exchange rate is 5.5159 (i.e. NZD1=HKD5.5159)

^ This is expressed in an annualized format and is based on the hypothetical assumption that the CLC (HKD as “Deposit Currency”) can be rolled over on the same terms for a period of 365 days. It does not reflect the actual Rate of Return of the CLC for the Investment Tenor. You should not rely on the Interest Rate in an annualized format as an indication of the expected return for the CLC.
