Professional Investor (“PI”) opt-in form

A “Professional Investor” generally has access to a wider range of financial products and services. If you choose to opt-in as a PI at Endowus HK Limited, you may access alternatives, private equity, private credit & real estate, hedge funds, and other investment products that are only available to PIs.

Please note that being treated as an PI means that you are expected to have more knowledge, and are able to understand and manage the risks of the financial products you choose to invest in. PIs are assumed to be better informed and better able to access resources to protect their own interests.

Regardless of your net worth, all investors should give careful thought to all investment opportunities and remember that all investments carry risk. In particular, PI-only products tend to have less regulatory oversight and require a bigger financial commitment upfront, their offering and marketing documents are not subject to regulatory review.

Investors should consult a professional adviser if they do not understand any consequence of being treated as an PI.
