Special Risks Concerning Structured Investments

For a comprehensive list of risk factors associated with each Structured Investment, please refer to the disclosure document provided by your financial advisor or broker. The applicable prospectus, prospectus supplement, price supplement or other offering document for a specific offering of Structured Products sets forth the specific risks associated therewith, including possible loss of principal or your purchase price and exposure to the credit risk of the relevant issuer. Structured Investments may be issued by HSBC USA Inc. or HSBC Bank USA, National Association. If the Structured Investments are issued by HSBC USA Inc. an investor will be subject to the credit risk of HSBC USA Inc. since those Structured Investments will be senior unsecured debt obligations of HSBC USA Inc. which are not deposit liabilities or other obligations of a bank and are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency or program of the United States or any other jurisdiction. If the Structured Investments are certificates of deposit issued by HSBC Bank USA, National Association an investor will be subject to the credit risk of HSBC Bank USA, National Association to the extent the insurance limits of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation are exceeded as well as for any amounts payable on such Structured Investments that are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Structured Investments may not provide for any minimum repayment and thus may be riskier than other debt securities. There may not be a liquid market for Structured Investments, and they are generally designed to be held to maturity. Structured Investments are subject to investment risk and any early repayment could result in a loss of principal investment. The return on a Structured Investment is linked to the performance of a particular market measure and therefore any investment will carry risks similar to an investment in the components of that market measure. Prices associated with the components of the market measure may change unpredictably, affecting the value of the market measure and thus the value of the particular Structured Investment. Investing in a Structured Investment is not equivalent to investing directly in the components of the relevant market measure or the relevant market measure itself.
 
The market value of a Structured Investment may be influenced by many unpredictable factors, including market conditions affecting the underlying market measure components relevant to the specific Structured Investment. Other factors, including the actual or perceived creditworthiness of the issuer, interest rates and general economic, financial, political, regulatory or judicial events will affect the value of Structured Investment. Risks include issuer risks and for Structured Investments providing for periodic distributions, the risk of no distributions. A trading market for a particular series of Structured Investments may not develop. Affiliates of the issuers of Structured Investments and the broker-dealers distributing Structured Investments may engage in limited purchase and resale transactions. However, they are not required to do so and, if they engage in such transactions, they may stop at any time.
 
 
 

 
 
Unless otherwise stated, any pricing information in this website is indicative only, is subject to change and is not an offer to deal.

Neither the issuers involved in any particular series of Structured Investments nor any distributor thereof, including HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., are providing tax advice and nothing contained herein should be construed as such. Structured Investments may have special tax considerations and may generate tax obligations in years in which no actual income has been received. You should discuss the tax implications of Structured Investments with your independent tax advisor. Any discussion of U. S. tax matters contained herein is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, by you for the purpose of avoiding U. S. tax –related penalties.
