Societe Generale launches new USD-denominated US stock warrants in Hong Kong

Following last year's introduction of US stock warrants in Hong Kong covering the Magnificent Seven¹ and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Societe Generale is the first issuer in Hong Kong offering USD-denominated US stock warrants, which provides investors the additional choice on the trading and settlement currency.

Keith Chan, Head of Cross Asset Listed Distribution for Asia Pacific at Societe Generale, said, “Our series of US stock warrants launched last year help investors overcome time zone restrictions and capture US stocks market opportunities during Hong Kong trading hours. With the listing of USD-denominated US stock warrants, we believe investors can manage their capital more flexibly and efficiently when trading both US Stocks and their warrants being denominated in USD.”

The introduction of USD-denominated US stock warrants allows investors who hold USD or frequently trade US stocks to use their existing USD capital directly, without currency conversion.  Additionally, when major announcements are made during the Hong Kong trading hours, investors can immediately take positions in either direction - bullish or bearish - for their risk management, ahead of the US market open.  Furthermore, entering the market is simple – investors only need a Hong Kong stock account to trade.

Societe Generale has been deeply rooted in the Hong Kong’s structured product market for close to three decades. As one of the leading issuers, Societe Generale supports investors in precisely positioning their portfolios across Hong Kong and US equities and index-related instruments - helping them to strategically capture market trends and investment opportunities.
