US Index CBBCs FAQs
No. A Mandatory Call Event is triggered by the spot level of US Indices so can only occur during the US stock market trading hours. UBS US Index CBBCs are traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Therefore, if US Index Futures reach the call level of a CBBC during HK stock trading hours, the issuer will continue to quote for the CBBCs (unless the theoretical value of the CBBCs are less than HKD0.01, the issuers cannot quote).Investors can still trade during the HK stock trading hours even when the related future price is lower than the call level of bull contracts or higher than the call level of bear contracts.
During US stock trading sessions, for CBBCs that are already listed, if the US Index spot level touches or goes beyond the call level of the US Index CBBCs, Mandatory Call Events will be triggered for those CBBCs. For CBBCs to be listed on the next HK trading day, if the US Index closing level touches or goes beyond the call level of the US Index CBBCs, Mandatory Call Events will be triggered for those CBBCs as well. The Mandatory Call Events will be reflected before the opening of the next HK stock trading day.
As US Index CBBCs are traded across two different time zones, if the next trading day falls on a HK holiday, the Mandatory Call Event will be postponed and only reflected on the next HK trading day.
