Assumptions, Significance and Limitations of the Rating
Credit ratings assigned by S&P Global Ratings are statements of opinion on the future credit quality of specific issuers or issues as of the date they are expressed and do not indicate the probability of default or guarantee the credit of the specific issuers or issues. Credit ratings are not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold any securities, or a statement of market liquidity or prices in the secondary market of any issues.
Credit ratings may change depending on various factors, including issuers' performance, changes in external environment, performance of underlying assets, creditworthiness of counterparties and others. S&P Global Ratings conducts rating analysis based on information it believes to be reliable and provides ratings only when it believes to have enough information in terms of quality and quantity to support its opinion. However, S&P Global Ratings does not perform an audit, due diligence or independent verification of any information it receives from issuers or other third parties, nor guarantees accuracy, completeness or timeliness of the information received or the results caused by use of such information. It should be noted that, depending on the credit ratings, there may be inherent risks associated with the limitation on available historical data.
This information is prepared as of 1 September 2021 based on sources which we believe are reliable, but we do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. For details, please refer to the above mentioned website of S&P Global Ratings.

Method of Obtaining the Information about the Summaries of the Policies and Criteria for Credit Rating
The information is published in the “Matters Related to the Explanation of Unregistered Ratings” (「無登録格付説明関連」) in the page of “Use of Credit Ratings Given by Unregistered Companies” (「無登録業者の格付の利用」) which is displayed after clicking “Credit Rating Business” on the website of Moody’s Japan K.K. and Moody’s SF Japan K.K. https://www.moodys.com/pages/default_ja.aspx). *Specified related companies are published on the website under (「金融庁長官より指定を受けた特定関係法人一覧」).
Assumptions, Significance and Limitations of the Rating
Credit ratings are Moody’s Investors Service ("Moody’s ") current opinions of the relative future credit risk of entities, credit commitments, or debt or debt-like securities. Moody’s defines credit risk as the risk that an entity may not meet its contractual, financial obligations as they come due and any estimated financial loss in the event of default. Credit ratings do not address any other risk, including but not limited to: liquidity risk, market value risk, or price volatility. Credit ratings do not constitute investment or financial advice, and credit ratings are not recommendations to purchase, sell, or hold particular securities. No warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, timeliness, completeness, merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any such rating or other opinion or information is given or made by Moody’s in any form or manner whatsoever.
Based on the information received from issuers or from public sources, the credit risks of the issuers or obligations are assessed. Moody’s adopts all necessary measures so that the information it uses in assigning a credit rating is of sufficient quality and from sources Moody’s considers to be reliable. However, Moody’s is not an auditor and cannot in every instance independently verify or validate information received in the rating process.
This information is prepared as of 1 September 2021 based on sources which we believe are reliable, but we do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. For details, please refer to the above website of Moody’s Japan K.K. and Moody’s SF Japan K.K.

Name of the Credit Rating Agency Group, etc.
Name of the Credit Rating Agency Group:
Fitch Ratings (“Fitch”)
Name of the Registered Credit Rating Agency within the Group and its Registration Number:
Fitch Ratings Japan Limited (FSA Commissioner (Rating) No. 7)
Method of Obtaining the Information about the Summaries of the Policies and Criteria for Credit Rating
The information is published in the “Overview of Policies etc for Credit Rating” (「格付方針等の概要」) in the “Regulation Related” (「規制関連」) section on the website of Fitch Ratings Japan Limited (https://www.fitchratings.com/site/japan).
Assumptions, Significance and Limitations of the Rating
Ratings assigned by Fitch are opinions based on established criteria and methodologies. Ratings are not facts, and therefore cannot be described as being "accurate" or "inaccurate". Credit ratings do not directly address any risk other than credit risk. Credit ratings do not comment on the adequacy of market price or market liquidity for rated instruments. Ratings are relative measures of risk; as a result, the assignment of ratings in the same category to entities and obligations may not fully reflect small differences in the degrees of risk. Credit ratings, as opinions on relative ranking of vulnerability to default, do not imply or convey a specific statistical probability of default.
In issuing and maintaining its ratings, Fitch relies on factual information it receives from issuers and underwriters and from other sources Fitch believes to be credible. Fitch conducts a reasonable investigation of the factual information relied upon by it in accordance with its ratings methodology, and obtains reasonable verification of that information from independent sources, to the extent such sources are available for a given security or in a given jurisdiction. The assignment of a rating to any issuer or any security should not be viewed as a guarantee of the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of the information relied on in connection with the rating or the results obtained from the use of such information. If any such information should turn out to contain misrepresentations or to be otherwise misleading, the rating associated with that information may not be appropriate. Despite any verification of current facts, ratings can be affected by future events or conditions that were not anticipated at the time a rating was issued or affirmed.
For a detailed explanation on the assumption, significance, and limits of credit rating, please refer to the section on “Definition regarding credit rating and other forms of opinions” on Fitch’s Japanese website.
This information is prepared as of 1 September 2021 based on sources which we believe are reliable, but we do not guarantee its accuracy or completeness. For details, please refer to the above mentioned website of Fitch Ratings Japan Limited.

It has recently come to our attention that third parties (see list below) are fraudulently portraying themselves as belonging to the HSBC Group for illegal financial gain, using registered trade names such as "The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited", "HSBC" and "HSBC Private Bank". Should you have any suspicion that you have been approached by a fraudulent third party, please exercise caution and contact us
The following organisations have no relationship to the HSBC Group:
Phishing/Spam Email
It has recently come to our attention that a third party(s) is fraudulently portraying itself as belonging to the HSBC Group and using the email address "payment.advice@hsbc.com.hk" to send spam email. Please be advised that this email address does not belong to the HSBC Group and that we do not send payment related correspondence to multiple customers using a single email. Should you receive such an email, please delete it immediately, without opening any of the attachments.
Fraudulent individuals can make an email look as if it comes from someone else. Identifying a fake email can be difficult and fraudsters constantly change their methods. However the fake emails often display some of the following characteristics:
Fake Websites
It is very easy for fraudulent individuals to develop a fake website. However, here are some tips to help identify them:
HSBC Holdings plc, its subsidiaries and associates (HSBC Group) is a global organisation which provides an extensive range of financial services to its customers around the world. In Japan, HSBC Group entities include branches of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation as well as HSBC Securities (Japan) Limited and HSBC Asset Management (Japan) Limited
As the HSBC Group engages in a wide range of commercial and investment banking, brokerage, funds management, hedging transactions and investments it is possible that companies or businesses within the HSBC Group may from time to time potentially have interests which conflict, or potentially conflict, with its customers・interests or with the duties that it owes to its customers.
The types of conflicts include (a) those arising between the interests of HSBC on the one hand and with the interests of its customers on the other, (b) those conflicts between different customers, and (c) conflicts between an employee of HSBC Group and a customer.
For example, HSBC Group may trade proprietary positions in a security when at the same time another business or entity within HSBC Group may have information about future transactions with customers in relation to that security. HSBC Group may also provide advisory and financing services to one customer in respect of a bid and seek to provide financing services to another customer in respect of the same bid.
HSBC Group has therefore established comprehensive Conflict of Interest Management procedures which are designed to identify and manage such potential conflicts of interest. A key element of such procedures is that HSBC Group staff engaged in different business activities involving a potential conflict of interest must carry on those activities independently of one another.
In Japan, the Compliance Department, which is managed independently from business departments, is the responsible department for Conflict of Interest Management. The Compliance Department identifies potential conflicts of interest by monitoring the necessary business information and where applicable taking appropriate measures to manage and control conflicts of interest when they arise. These control procedures include organisational measures and administrative arrangements to safeguard the interests of customers and clients.
Where necessary, HSBC Group maintains arrangements which restrict the flow of information to certain employees in order to protect its customers' interest and to prevent improper access to customer information. Rules are also in place to prevent insider dealings by employees of HSBC Group.
In certain circumstances, HSBC Group may consider it appropriate to disclose a potential conflict of interest to a customer and obtain the customer's formal consent to proceed. However, HSBC Group will decline to act in any circumstance where a customer declines to give consent or where it considers that the potential conflict of interest cannot be managed without risk of damage to the interest of any customer.
The scope of conflicts of interest management is the activities of The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, HSBC Securities (Japan) Limited, HSBC Asset Management (Japan) Limited and all other HSBC Group companies worldwide which engage in financial business. Please be advised that HSBC Asset Management (Japan) Limited.does not share individual customer information with remaining HSBC Group companies.
Any customer requiring more details of our Conflict of Interest Management procedures should contact their Relationship Manager or other contacts at any of HSBC's offices in Japan.
