You should bear the credit risk of the issuer. The price of bonds may fluctuate and the factors affecting market price of bonds include, but not limited to, fluctuations in interest rates, credit spreads, and liquidity premiums.

Foreign Exchange Risk: The value of your foreign currency will be subject to the risk of exchange rate fluctuation. If you choose to convert your foreign currency to other currencies at an exchange rate that is less favourable than the exchange rate in which you made your original conversion to foreign currency, you may suffer loss in principal.

Risks relating to RMB: The Chinese Renminbi is currently a restricted currency. Due to the exchange controls and/or restrictions which may be imposed by the PRC government on the convertibility or utilization of RMB from time to time, there is no guarantee that disruption in the transferability, convertibility or liquidity of RMB will not occur. There is thus a likelihood that you may not be able to convert the Chinese Renminbi received into other freely convertible currencies.
