(1) the staff at service counters at the branches,

While the receipt date by the MPF department will be stamped only when the documents reach the MPF department, you please be cautious that this will result in delay in receiving and processing the paper remittance statement or other instructions by the MPF department. Any failure to pay mandatory contributions in full and on time to a trustee incurs a 5% surcharge on the outstanding mandatory contributions, along with the possibility of a financial penalty and even imprisonment by the MPFA. You may refer to the MPFA's website www.mpfa.org.hk for further details of offences and penalties.

Please inform us by simply completing a Cessation of Self-employment/Transfer of Accrued Benefits Notification Form(HA33).
Regardless of the size of your business profits, you must enrol into an MPF scheme if you are a self-employed person between the ages of 18 and 65. However, you are not required to make mandatory contributions to the MPF scheme if your relevant income is less than the minimum relevant income level or if you sustain a net loss in relation to your business.
Your choice of payment frequency will apply to a whole financial year, ie 1 July to 30 June each year. You can change it in May each year together with your declaration of relevant income, and the new arrangement will take effect from the next financial year.
You should put '31 December' as the day and month. Likewise, if your HKID card only contains the year and month but not the day, you should put the last day of the month.
The ‘Unit prices’ page on Hang Seng MPF webpage provides you with the unit prices.
Current unit prices are also available through these channels:
• Hang Seng Personal Banking Mobile App
• Hang Seng Business Mobile App
• Hang Seng MPF Service Hotline on (852) 2213 2213 (Please refer to the section 'Hang Seng MPF Service Hotline' in Member Service Guide for the user's guide)
• Hong Kong Economic Times
• South China Morning Post
You can check the past performance of MPF funds through 'Fund Cumulative Performance' page on the Hang Seng MPF webpage.
The unit prices are calculated based on the net asset value of each fund, i.e. the value of investments less fees and charges, divided by the number of units issued. (With the exception of the unit prices for the MPF Conservative Fund on or before 30 June 2015, where fees and charges were deducted directly from a member's account by unit deduction.)
The MPF legislation requires each MPF scheme to offer a CPF. Our CPF is a low risk fund, investing in high grade Hong Kong HKD- denominated monetary instruments such as treasury bills, bills of exchange, commercial paper, certificates of deposits or interbank deposits, and other ancillary investments allowed under the General Regulation. The investment objective is to achieve a rate of return higher than that available for savings deposits, however returns are not guaranteed.
An MPF Conservative Fund may use one of two methods for deduction of fees and charges, namely (i) 'Fund Level Deduction;, that is, deducting the fees and charges from the assets of the MPF Conservative Fund or (ii) 'Member Level Deduction', that is, directly deducting the fees and charges from member's account by way of unit deduction.
From 1 December 2000 to 30 June 2015, the MPF Conservative Fund of Hang Seng Mandatory Provident Fund – SuperTrust Plus adopted method (ii), that is, deducting the fees and charges from member's account by way of unit deduction.
From 1 July 2015 and onwards, the MPF Conservative Fund of Hang Seng Mandatory Provident Fund – SuperTrust Plus adopts method (i), that is, deducting the fees and charges from the assets of the fund.
According to the MPF legislation, fees and charges can be deducted from the CPF only when the investment return is higher than the prescribed savings rate which is regularly published by the MPFA.
From 1 December 2000 to 30 June 2015, the CPF of Hang Seng Mandatory Provident Fund - SuperTrust Plus adopted method (ii), that is, directly deducting the fees and charges from member's account by way of unit deduction. The unit prices of the CPF have, therefore, not taken into account the deduction of fees and charges. During that period, the fees and charges for CPF were deducted in the form of units from a member's account only after the investment return and prescribed savings rate for each month were ascertained.
From 1 July 2015, fees and charges accrue on a daily basis, and are reflected daily in the fund's unit prices, net asset value and fund performance quoted.
Our Guaranteed Fund is a low risk fund providing you with a guaranteed interest rate, provided certain conditions are met. If any of the Guarantee Conditions are met on withdrawal or transfer of balance, members will be entitled to the Actual Balance or the Guaranteed Balance, whichever is greater.
The guarantee in the Guaranteed Fund under the Hang Seng Mandatory Provident Fund - SuperTrust Plus only applies under certain conditions. Please refer to the 'Guarantee features' under 'Guaranteed Fund' in the MPF Scheme Brochure for details of the guarantee features (including in the context of payment of accrued benefits in instalments) and the ‘Guarantee Conditions’.
This is an action that will be performed by the administrator of the Hang Seng Mandatory Provident Fund - SuperTrust Plus (‘Administrator’) at the end of each year, starting in 2016. It is for members who have reached the age of 65 and still have investment in the Guaranteed Fund. The Administrator will calculate the Guarantee for these members, equivalent to the amount they would entitled if they had withdrawn their benefits from the Guaranteed Fund on 31 December in that year using grounds that meet the Guarantee Conditions. For details, please click here for the Guaranteed Fund Changes – Crystallisation’s FAQs.
The rate for the financial year from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 is 0.15% per annum.
The rate for the financial year from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025 is 0.2% per annum.
The rate will be reviewed annually and determined at the beginning of each financial year, ie 1 July each year.
No. By law, you must invest your MPF monies in the funds offered by the MPF scheme you participate in.
The DIS comprises two Consistent Funds, namely the Age 65 Plus Fund ('A65F') and the Core Accumulation Fund ('CAF'). DIS is a ready-made investment arrangement mainly designed for those members who are not interested or do not wish to make an investment choice, and is also available as an investment choice itself, for members who find it suitable for their own circumstances. Starting from 1 April 2017, for those members who do not make an investment choice when they set up a new MPF account, their new contributions and accrued benefits transferred from another registered scheme will be invested in accordance with the DIS.
The DIS aims to balance the long term effects of risk and return through investing in two Constituent Funds, namely the A65F and the CAF, according to the pre-set allocation percentages at different ages. The DIS will manage investment risk exposure by automatically reducing the exposure to higher risk assets and correspondingly increasing the exposure to lower risk assets as the member gets older. Such de-risking is achieved by way of reducing the holding in the CAF and increasing the holding in the A65F over time. The asset allocation stays the same up until 50 years of age, then reduces steadily until age 64, after which it stays steady again. For further details of the DIS, please refer to the MPF Scheme Brochure.
The DIS comprises two Constituent Funds, namely the Core Accumulation Fund ('CAF') and the Age 65 Plus Fund ('A65F').
The CAF and the A65F are the two Constituent Funds that form the Default Investment Strategy ('DIS'). The CAF provides capital growth for members by investing in a globally diversified manner and will invest around 60% in higher risk assets (generally mean equities or similar investments) and around 40% in lower risk assets (those assets not being higher risk assets, including without limitation global bonds and money market instruments) of its net asset value whereas the A65F provides stable growth for the retirement savings to members by investing in a globally diversified manner and will invest around 20% in higher risk assets and around 80% in lower risk assets of its net asset value.
Yes. The CAF and the A65F can be standalone investments. Members should note that, if you choose the CAF and/or the A65F as standalone investments (rather than as part of the DIS), the de-risking to automatically reduce the risk exposure as the member approaches retirement age will not be applicable.

This section summarises all transfer-in, transfer-out and withdrawal transactions successfully processed in your MPF account within the six most recent quarters.
All transaction(s) processed successfully within the six most recent quarters will be recorded in the 'Details of Transactions'. It is presented in ascending order of the fund name in English and in chronological order of the transaction date.
Opening balance is the number of units of the fund held in your MPF account as at the start date of the six quarters period as stated in the statement. Closing balance is the number of units of the fund held in your MPF account as at the end date of the six quarters period as stated in the statement.
Example:
If the period stated in the statement is from 1 January 2012 to 30 June 2013, then the opening balance is the number of units held as at 1 January 2012 and the closing balance is the number of units held as at 30 June 2013.
The closing balance may become zero when you have transferred or withdrawn all units from a fund, or terminated your account on or before the end date of the six quarters period.
Only transaction(s) processed successfully would be shown in the 'Details of Transactions' section but 'investment returns' is not a transaction. However, you may refer to the 'investment returns' stated in your 'MPF Member Benefit Statement' of the corresponding financial year.
