Below is a table setting out issuers' current credit ratings awarded by the Exchange recognized rating agencies – (i) Moody's; and (ii) Standard and Poor's (S&P). The table will generally be updated after market close when there is a change of credit rating notified by the issuer. Users should refer to real-time information services for the latest ratings.
Please note that the creditworthiness of the issuer and its guarantor, among other things should be considered carefully before dealing in structured products. Details of the risk factors and credit ratings can be found in the issuers' listing documents published on the HKEXnews website. Listing of structured products is governed by Chapter 15A of the Main Board Listing Rules.
Notes
- If the structured product is a guaranteed issue, the rating shown is for the guarantor.
- These issuers did not meet the credit rating requirement but relied on the other regulatory requirements in accordance with the Main Board Listing Rule 15A.13(2) & (3) when the Exchange approved its application as the structured product issuer.
* Following the completion of merger of UBS AG and Credit Suisse AG, UBS AG has succeeded the obligations of Credit Suisse AG as an issuer of the structured products. For details, please refer to the issuer’s announcement available at www.hkexnews.hk.
