Important to note:

  • You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before making any investment choices. When, in your selection of constituent funds or the Default Investment Strategy (“DIS”), you are in doubt as to whether a certain constituent funds or the DIS is suitable for you (including whether it is consistent with your investment objectives), you should seek independent financial and/or professional advice and make investment choices most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances.
  • The asset allocation of the Manulife MPF Core Accumulation Fund and the Manulife MPF Age 65 Plus Fund (“DIS CFs”) in the DIS and some of the constituent funds which are referred to as Retirement Funds will change over time and hence the risk profile and return will also change over time. The DIS CFs or the Retirement Funds may not be suitable for all members. You should understand the relevant risks involved before investment and consider factors other than age and review your own investment objectives.
  • The Manulife MPF Interest Fund and the Manulife MPF Stable Fund (collectively the “Guaranteed Funds”) under the scheme each invests solely in approved pooled investment funds in the form of insurance policy provided by Manulife (International) Limited. The guarantee is also given by Manulife (International) Limited. Your investments in the Guaranteed Funds, if any, are therefore subject to the credit risks of Manulife (International) Limited. Please refer to sections 3.4.2 (Manulife MPF Stable Fund (the “Stable Fund”)) and 7.2.4(b) (Manulife MPF Stable Fund) and sections 3.4.1 (Manulife MPF Interest Fund (the “Interest Fund”)) and 7.2.4(c) (Manulife MPF Interest Fund) of the MPF Scheme Brochure for details of the credit risks, guarantee features and qualifying conditions.
  • The Manulife MPF Retirement Income Fund (the “Retirement Income Fund”) does not guarantee distribution of dividend, the frequency of distribution, and the dividend amount/yield. Dividends may be paid out of the realized capital gains, capital and/or gross income while charging/paying all or part of the fees, charges and expenses to/out of the capital, resulting in an increase in distributable income available for dividend distribution. Payment of dividends out of capital and/or effectively out of capital represent a withdrawal of part of the original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Distribution of dividends will result in an immediate decrease or adjustment in the net asset value per unit of the Retirement Income Fund on the ex-dividend date.
  • Members who are below age 65 should note that the regular and frequent distribution of dividends and reinvestment of such dividends into the Retirement Income Fund will inevitably involve an investment time-lag during which dividends are not reinvested and it is subject to out-of-market risk on a recurring basis (currently, on a monthly basis). With the feature of dividend distribution, the return of the Retirement Income Fund for these Members may be impacted negatively or positively as its net asset value per unit may have gone up or down at the time when dividends are reinvested. Therefore the return of the Retirement Income Fund for these Members may deviate from that of a constituent fund with similar investment portfolio without such arrangement and may not always be advantageous to these Members.
  • Investment involves risks and not each of the constituent funds would be suitable for everyone. You should consider the risks associated with each of the constituent funds and the DIS and your investments/accrued benefits may suffer loss.
  • Before making your investment choices, you should read the MPF Scheme Brochure and Key Scheme Information Document (KSID) for details including risk factors, fees and charges of the scheme. You should not make your investment decision based on this material alone.

Manulife stands out at “The 2025 MPF Awards” for exceptional performance

Manulife and the Manulife Global Select (MPF) Scheme earn 17 accolades1 for sustainability, use of technology and investment excellence

 
For Immediate Release
March 26, 2025

Hong Kong – Manulife is pleased to announce its funds and services have been recognized at MPF Ratings’ “The 2025 MPF Awards”. As a stand-out winner that achieved the highest number of awards among MPF service providers this year1, Manulife has won a total of 17 awards, including People's Choice, 5 Year Consecutive Gold, Gold Rated Scheme, Sustainably Friendly, Best Employer Experience, Best Use of Technology, and 11 Consistent Performers given to the Manulife Global Select (MPF) Scheme, covering multiple asset classes, such as Europe Equity, Japan Equity, Asia Bond, and RMB Bond1,2.

Jeanie Ho, Head of Hong Kong and Macau Retirement, Manulife, said: "We are deeply honored to be consistently recognized as one of the leaders in Hong Kong’s pension industry. Our leadership is underscored by our seven-year winning streak of the “People’s Choice” award1,5, a testament to the public’s trust in us. This year, our achievement of securing the most MPF awards further highlights our unwavering commitment to enhancing customer experiences and satisfaction. With close to 90 years of local pension management experience and a robust global retirement management presence, we remain dedicated to offering high-quality, diverse investment solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers. We will continue to excel in innovation, customer experience as well as in investment performance.”

Receiving 11 “Consistent Performer”1,2 accolades from MPF Ratings is a testament to our investment philosophy and capabilities in capitalizing on long-term opportunities for our customers through various economic and market cycles. This remarkable achievement is built on our global presence and deep expertise, which have contributed to a long-standing track record of success. As of 28 February 2025, 97% of our funds (28 out of 29 constituent funds)3 have achieved positive cumulative returns since inception.

Jeanie Ho added: " We believe that providing a diverse range of fund options is imperative for members to achieve balanced asset allocation and make informed investment decisions, even in volatile markets. Regardless of market conditions, members may leverage dollar-cost averaging to reduce the risks of market timing and mitigate the potential negative impacts of irrational active trading on investment returns.”

The Manulife Global Select (MPF) Scheme offers 29 constituent funds including ESG-themed funds, making it the MPF platform with the most fund options4. This enables members to adopt a more balanced and resilient approach when adjusting and allocating their investments according to different market conditions at various life stages.

Our holistic approach to retirement planning, investing and wealth management, powered by cutting-edge technology and customized education, has earned us the “Best Use of Technology”, “Sustainably Friendly” and numerous other accolades, cementing our position as a digital forerunner in the retirement space. As we enter the new era of eMPF, we have been relentlessly enhancing our digital tools to transform the MPF management experience and lay the foundation for a smooth eMPF transition.
