Installments Margin Scheme

Introduction

Bright Smart Securities is now providing a one shop service called “Installments Margin Scheme” to all our valuable customers. Under this new scheme, customers should purchase stocks at a targeted price and in the payment of which by installments. Investors who wish to take part in this plan can do so simply by opening an account with us called “Account of Installment Margin Scheme” (overseas customers included), then paying 30% of the total investment upfront as the first installment, while Bright Smart Securities will finance up to 70% to you, thus allowing you to buy-in stocks all at once at market price then paying back the balance later in a year. Furthermore, you may sell all your stocks anytime during, or after your financing period at your discretion, without requiring to sell the investment at installments. Also, the particular stock you select for this plan must be a qualifying stock that is listed under “Installment Participating Stocks”, in the case that clients have a preference to invest in non-participating stocks, you are welcome to contact us for further discussion and consideration.  

To participate in this plan, client must do the following: 

i. Choose the Stock that you wish to buy(Only accept HKD settlement products)

ii. Set the quantity of stocks for purchase (Must also deposit 30% of the total investment)

When a client wishes to participate in “Installment Margin Scheme”, you must first read and fill out the “Installments Margin Scheme” application, then reserve and deposit 30% of the total investment (Or minimum of HK $10,000) into your “Account of Installments Margin Scheme”, the remaining 70% of the investment will be financed by Bright Smart Securities. Once this step is completed, you may place your purchase order directly with one of our customer representatives via telephone. The term of finance is 1 year in 12 separate installments, monthly payment is due on the 8th of each month at 1:00pm or before. If the due date in any month falls on a public holiday, it will automatically be pushed to the preceding working day (Overdue will be charged a penalty fee on an annual interest of P+5%, and the client shall pay back immediately).
