For Manulife Global Select (MPF) Scheme

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.

Employee Choice Arrangement

Retirement. The time to live your dreams.

What is Employee Choice Arrangement?

Employee Choice Arrangement (“ECA”) aims to encourage more active management of MPF investment from employees. Upon implementation of ECA on November 1, 2012, an employee can elect to transfer the accrued benefits derived from the employee mandatory contributions made during the current employment to a Personal Account under an MPF trustee and scheme of his/her own choice in one lump sum once per calendar year. The former employment asset from the current contribution account can also be transferred to a personal account or a contribution account in one lump sum at any time.

However, accrued benefits derived from mandatory contributions made by an employer are non-transferable and must remain in the original scheme. Every calendar year thereafter, the employee can continue transferring accrued benefits derived from employee mandatory contributions from the past year into the same Personal Account or one held with another MPF trustee.

The MPF accrued benefits derived from the Personal Account are transferable to the employee's personal account or contribution account in one lump sum at any time.

Transferability of MPF accrued benefits

Transferability of MPF Assets upon implementation of ECA:

	Current Employment (Contribution Account)			Former Employment (Personal Account¹)
Accrued Benefits derived from:	Employer's	Employee's	Former Employment Asset (transferred in by employee)	Personal Account Asset²
Mandatory Contributions	Not transferable²	Transferable to the employee's personal account once per calendar year^{3, 4}	Transferable to the employee's personal account or contribution account at anytime in one lump sum^{3, 4}	Transferable to the employee's personal account or contribution account at anytime in one lump sum^{3, 4}
Voluntary Contributions	Transferability is subject to the governing rules of the original scheme^{2, 3, 4}

“Personal account” was called “preserved account” prior to the implementation of Employee Choice Arrangement on November 1, 2012.
Transferability of the following accrued benefits remains unchanged after ECA implementation:
- Contribution account: Derived from employer mandatory contributions and all voluntary contributions, and
- Personal account asset.
Accrued benefits will be transferred to the new scheme in a lump sum per sub-account (i.e., no partial transfer within sub-accounts). As the transfer takes time, the number of fund units shown in the employee's current MPF account on the date s/he decides to transfer may be different from that as of the date on which the fund units are redeemed. The original trustee will redeem all the fund units in the sub-account(s) on the date of redemption and transfer out the redeemed benefits.
It may take 2-8 weeks to complete a transfer, depending on the nature of transfer and whether complete information is furnished.

Take control of your employee contribution

With ECA, employees can enjoy greater autonomy on their choice of MPF scheme and service provider. All transfer decisions are made by the employees alone. Employees do not need to inform their employers for such decisions or involve them in the process of transfer of MPF accrued benefits.
