2. US OTC Stocks

   We provide selected US OTC (over-the-counter) stock trading services. In the United States, OTC stock trading is carried out by market makers using inter-dealer quotation services such as OTC Link and the OTC Bulletin Board.

   Usually, OTC stocks are not listed nor traded on exchanges. Clients participating in the OTC market will be exposed to additional risks, such as low trading volume, wide trading spread, and/or in failure to flat outstanding positions, etc. The client should therefore study and understand US OTC stocks before you trade and carefully consider whether such trading is suitable in light of the client’s financial position and investment objectives.

3. China’s B Shares

   The face values of B shares are set in Renminbi and can be subscribed to and traded in foreign currencies.

   B shares are traded on the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges but can only be held by foreign persons or domestic residents who legally possess foreign currencies that can be used to open B Share accounts.

   In Shanghai, B shares are traded in US dollars (e.g., Shanghai Zhenhua B share and ZSEPC B share) whilst HK dollars are used for B shares in Shenzhen and major listed companies, including China Merchants Property and CSG Holding.
