MPF Investment

When a scheme member joins an MPF scheme, the trustee will provide the member with a Key Scheme Information Document and an MPF Scheme Brochure. The Key Scheme Information Document provides key information about an MPF scheme and the MPF Scheme Brochure provides details of an MPF scheme. The trustee will allocate fund units to the scheme member’s account according to the member’s investment choices, forming the investment portfolio.

Risk tolerance level

Different types of funds have different risk levels. Therefore, scheme members should assess their risk tolerance level before choosing a fund or funds. Key factors affecting the risk tolerance level of scheme members include investment horizon, investment appetite and other savings and investments for retirement. 

Asset allocation

Scheme members may choose their investments according to their risk appetite. If their risk tolerance level is relatively high, they can consider a growth portfolio with a higher proportion of equity funds. If their risk tolerance level is relatively low, they can consider a conservative portfolio with a larger proportion of conservative assets.

There is no absolute standard for asset allocation in any portfolio. Different funds have different benefits and risk levels. The key is to choose a portfolio that matches one’s risk tolerance level.
