5. How long does it take to complete the conversion after submitting an email application?
Long Bridge will apply for the conversion with the clearing broker as soon as possible after receiving the client’s email application; Long Bridge will send the results to the client via email.
The conversion will be completed within 10 - 20 business days after the client successfully applies for the conversion. The specific time is subject to the processing efficiency of the clearing broker. Please wait patiently if the conversion to HK stock is still not completed after 20 business days.
6. What should I pay attention to?
- Conversion cannot be changed or canceled once initiated;
- Once the conversion is executed, the relevant shares and fees will be locked and deducted, and the shares cannot be sold/transferred/withdrawn during this period. The locking/deduction of shares may immediately affect the client’s total asset value, related margin value, risk control status, etc. The client is responsible for the associated market volatility, asset liquidity, financing, and other related (if any) risks;
- The conversion ratio varies from stock to stock. Take BABA as an example, 1 share of US stock: 8 shares of HK stock. If you have any questions, please contact our customer service.
- For your conversion to be successfully processed, please ensure that there are sufficient funds in your account to pay the fees.
