Secondary market warning

SG Option Europe, Societe Generale or any affiliate thereof is the only market maker of the products. Under normal conditions SG Option Europe, Societe Generale or any affiliate will endeavour to provide a market-making service, which involves giving the right market value and ensuring liquidity, both when buying and selling a financial product under specific conditions. Such arrangements may be temporarily or indefinitely curtailed as a result of technical problems within companies of the Societe Generale group or the London Stock Exchange or data vendors or telecommunications carriers, or in the event of pending announcements by or difficulties in procuring information on underlying companies. We are committed to ensure our product prices are always broadcast, however due to factors often out of our control e.g. technical issues with providers' feeds, there may be occasions whereby our products' prices are not broadcast. In such events, we will always endeavour to do whatever is in our power to resolve these issues promptly.

As a result of this secondary market risk, you may find it difficult or impossible in certain extreme circumstances to sell the relevant product or may be offered a price that is significantly less than you paid for it.

2. Risk factors

Leveraged returns are a major advantage of Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products but can also work against investors. Investors in Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products should be aware that, if the underlying instrument to the product moves in the opposite direction to that anticipated by investors, the losses incurred by the product will be greater in percentage terms than those incurred by the underlying itself. The prices of Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products can therefore be volatile. Short & Long Leveraged Exchange Traded Products have a limited life, as denoted by the expiry date of each issue. After this date, the products can no longer be traded or exercised. As the product is reset on a daily basis, your capital could erode very quickly following a continued succession of positive or negative performance of the underlying asset. Investors who wish to hold their position overnight will pay a commission in the same way as they would with a fund.

3. Important information

1. Corporate actions notice

As a result of corporate actions such as rights issues, share splits, share buy backs and take over and mergers, strike levels of the products may be adjusted to reflect such activity. The reason for this is to ensure that investors in the products are not disadvantaged or gain undue benefit by equity adjustments. When such a change takes place, if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us. Further information regarding the calculation of the changes can be supplied upon request.
