Continuing Professional Development

All MPF intermediaries are required to comply with the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) requirement with effect from January 2002. The objectives of the CPD programme are to enhance the technical knowledge and professional expertise of individual intermediaries about the MPF System and related areas, and to provide reasonable assurance to MPF scheme participants and the public at large that individual intermediaries remain fit and proper to be registered.

An individual intermediary is required to undertake a minimum of 10 hours of CPD activities in each calendar year. At least 20% of the minimum CPD hour requirement must be devoted to core subject areas such as MPF or related legislation, relevant codes and guidelines, and the latest developments of the MPF System.

Details of the CPD requirement can be found in the Guide to Continuing Professional Development for MPF Intermediaries.
