Important Notices regarding Financial Instruments Business Conducted by SGIC
SGIC engages in discretionary investment business and investment advisory business. Financial instruments or financial derivatives in which SGIC invests under discretionary investment agreements or provides advice under investment advisory agreements may incur losses due to fluctuations in interest rates, currency prices, quotations in financial instruments markets and other indicators.
Factors causing fluctuations include price fluctuation risk of securities, fluctuation risk of interest rates and financial markets, liquidity risk that transactions cannot be conducted with sufficient liquidity, credit risk of issuers of securities, and exchange rate fluctuation risk in the case of investing in assets denominated in foreign currencies. Therefore, the investment principal of the customer is not guaranteed and may fall below the investment principal due to a decline in the value of financial instruments.
Fees for investment advisory contracts and discretionary investment contracts (investment advisory fees) are up to 0.880% per annum (including tax) on the total contract amount of assets, and performance fees may be charged based on the contracts. In addition, financial products purchased by customers may incur fees and indirect costs, which cannot be shown in advance because they depend on the contents of the contract with each customer.
When concluding an investment advisory contract or such other contract, please carefully read the documents to be delivered prior to the conclusion of the contract.
