Important Notes
Trading in securities can be very risky, and the customer may lose the principal amount invested. This is particularly so when the customer needs to i) make his or her own trading decisions and ii) ensure each trade is specifically suitable for him or her – the only basis for any trading through or with OCBC Securities Private Limited ("OSPL")
