In recent years, snowball products have seen continuously rising popularity in the capital markets, owing to their "quasi-fixed income" return structure and risk hedging design. Their unique return characteristics have attracted growing attention from mainland Chinese clients. With the increasing adoption of global asset allocation concepts, overseas capital market investors have also shown strong interest in snowball products, gradually making them a hot target in the field of cross-border financial investment. Against this backdrop, Hong Kong, as an international financial center, has become a crucial hub for snowball product trading.

　　In this specific legal service project, the lawyer team led by Wen Qianyue and Xia Lei deeply participated in the drafting, review, and revision of legal documents related to the client's transactions. Addressing the complex transaction structures and risk clauses of snowball products, the team, from a legal and compliance perspective, meticulously refined core contractual elements such as the division of rights and obligations, profit distribution mechanisms, and risk disclosure clauses, ensuring the rigor and enforceability of the legal documents. Simultaneously, the team accurately grasped the regulatory requirements of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and other regulatory bodies regarding over-the-counter (OTC) options trading–including product compliance review, investor suitability management, and information disclosure norms–assisting the client in establishing a trading system compliant with Hong Kong regulatory standards and effectively mitigating potential legal risks.
