First question.

Which age group do you belong to?

A. Above 75 or below 18.

B, 66- 75.

C. 56- 65.

D. 46- 55.

E, 18- 45.

I'm 60 years old.

Next question.

How many years of...

investment experience do you have?

This include long-term

and short-term products,

and fluctuating products

such as stocks, trust funds,

foreign currencies,

derivative security,

or so-called "warrants",

commodity futures or stock options.

A. No experience.

B. Less than 3 years.

C. 3- 6 years.

D. 7- 10 years.

E, Over 10 years.

No.

So no experience.

Kun, the risk assessment says

you belong to 2nd category: "Low Risk".

What does it mean?

It means...

you have no experience

in high-risk investment.

You've only invested in low-risk products.

We have just the right products.

For example,

Dahli National Bond already

earned 2% profit in 6 months.

Only 2%?

We have better choices.

Leid Allocation Fund is a solid performer.

It invests in national real estates.

It went up 7% in value last year.

So I'll earn 70/fl interest?

Your expected return...

I mean you can expect to earn 7%

on your investment.

Funds that pay dividends...

regularly earn 2-3% interest.

That's a bit higher than fixed deposits.

Your bank's deposit rate is so low.

Money is being melted

down inside the saving account.

I hope to earn more.

People in my age don't have income.

But price for everything keeps going up.

Government's Old Age Allowance

pays so little.

I need to take risks for greater return.

"Wealth Co. "

Our new unit trust.

It invests in BRIC countries.

Risk evaluation is "High. "

I don't understand.

New start-ups always take higher risks,

That's why they gain higher profit.

However, since there is no track record,

the actual return would be hard to estimated,

but return could be 10-20D/fl.

High risk, high return.

The risk assessment says

this product isn't for you,

but I can make an exception.

The bank requires me to

tape our conversation.

When I ask you questions,

answer "I understand completely".

I understand completely.

Thank you, Kun, for choosing

our bank's product,

she has chose...

Wealth Co. Unit Trust.

Risk evaluation is "High. "

Your subscription is HK$1 million.

The bank will charge a 2% fee,

which is 200 thousand.

Why a fee?

Bank's service charges.

The unit trust could increase by 5%

in 3 months, That's 500 thousand in profit.

So it's all worth it.

I understand completely.

My stocks should worth 1 million.

Market is rising.

You shouldn't sell off now.

I want the flat.

You can pledge your stocks to us.

How much per month?

Let's see.

About 44 thousand.

Can I borrow 90% mortgage?

Yes. Your husband is a government employee.

Let's calculate the monthly mortgage cost.

The flat costs 8 million.

We'll approve if your husband

makes twice of that.

He makes over 60 thousand a month.

For the first two years, your loan

will cost another 40 thousand a month.

We'll rent out the flat.

Can I see your figures?

I'll print it out for you.

But when the chance knocks on your door,

what matters is how you make of it.

I know, but...

I'm giving you a fair assessment.

You still got money left in the account.
