trading. What is the compensation limit for Mr.

Based on the per-investor compensation
limit of HK$500,000 for each of his securities

maximum compensation amount for Mr. Cheung would
be HK$500,000 for the securities account and HK$300,000
for the futures contracts trading, that is, a
total of HK$800,000 compensation would be paid.
