Common use of Investor Compensation Fund Clause in Contracts

Investor Compensation Fund. Every HKFE traded Derivatives contract shall be subject to the charge of the Investor Compensation Fund levy and a levy pursuant to the SFO, the cost of both of which shall be borne by the Client. The Client understands that if the Client suffers pecuniary loss by reason of GTJAF’s default, the liability of the Investor Compensation Fund will be restricted to valid claims as provided for in the SFO and will be subject to the monetary limits specified in the Securities and Futures (Investor Compensation – Compensation Limits) Rules (Cap.571 AC) and accordingly there can be no assurance that any pecuniary loss sustained by reason of such a default will necessarily be recouped from the Investor Compensation Fund in full, in part or at all.
