DBS Bank ( Hong Kong ) has launched its DBS Online Equity-Linked Investment ( DBS Online ELI ) and DBS Online Currency-Linked Investment ( DBS Online CLI ) services, empowering investors, the bank says, to access a diverse range of structured products, capturing equity and currency investment opportunities directly through their DBS digibank HK app or DBS iBanking.

The DBS Online ELI service, the bank explains, offers a wide selection of equity-linked investments linked to Hong Kong and US stocks, including single stock or exchange-traded fund ( ETF ) or baskets of specific stock ETFs.

The key features include allowing clients:

• to place orders beyond normal branch hours
• flexible investment periods from 1 to 11 months with some ELIs having a callable feature
• a knock-in feature ( applicable to some ELIs ) to soften negative market impacts
• the availability of denominations in 11 major currencies, including yuan, euros and Hong Kong, US and Australia dollars.

The service provides greater flexibility and diversification for clients to align with their risk appetite and investment objectives.  

The DBS Online CLI service empowers clients to capture forex market movements and earn potential higher interest returns. Clients can start investing with US$10,000 or its equivalent, with flexible investment periods ranging from 1 week to 6 months. The online journey features top-traded currency pairs and interactive foreign exchange charts to spark new investment ideas. It is also available in 11 major currencies, including Hong Kong, US, Australian, New Zealand and Canadian dollars.

Both the DBS Online ELI and CLI services are now accessible through the DBS digibank HK app and DBS iBanking, allowing clients to trade beyond normal branch hours and customize their investments with ease, and stay connected to markets anytime anywhere.

“DBS Hong Kong is committed to providing our clients with innovative and accessible investment solutions that cater to their evolving needs,” states Belinda Hsieh, DBS Hong Kong’s head of treasures investment product and advisory for consumer banking group and wealth management. “Our new online ELI and CLI services aim to deliver a seamless investment experience, enabling our clients to manage their investments and capitalize on market opportunities with greater flexibility and control.”
