Important notes
Choice and convenience
Under HSBC MPF, members are enrolled into a master trust scheme which pools all contributions for greater efficiency, flexibility, investment balance and choice. HSBC offers four master trust schemes for employers to choose from:
For SuperTrust, SuperTrust Plus and ValueChoice
It is important for you to enrol promptly into HSBC MPF to protect your interests and to make your investment choices. If we do not receive your employee application form, we will automatically invest your contributions in the MPF Conservative Fund. Enrolling will also enable us to send you your annual benefit statements.
Please note that after we receive and process your application form, your new contributions will be allocated according to your investment option specified on the form.
For SimpleChoice
It is important that you promptly enrol in the HSBC MPF to protect your interests and make your investment choices. If we do not receive your signed 'Employee Application Form' or you do not state your initial investment choice, your new contributions and transfer-in MPF Benefits and AVC Benefits will be fully invested in accordance with the SimpleChoice - Asset Allocation at your relevant age band as at the date of enrolment until you return the completed 'Employee Application Form' to us. Please refer to the relevant 'Principal Brochure' for details. Enrolling will also enable us to send you annual benefit statements.
Pre-determined asset allocations under SimpleChoice - Asset Allocation:
| Age | MPF Conservative Fund | Global Bond Fund | Global Equity Fund |
| Below 30 | 0% | 5% | 95% |
| ≥ 30 to < 40 | 5% | 20% | 75% |
| ≥ 40 to < 50 | 10% | 40% | 50% |
| ≥ 50 to < 60 | 15% | 60% | 25% |
| ≥ 60 | 20% | 70% | 10% |
The SimpleChoice - Asset Allocation table above is provided for reference only and is subject to change from time to time in accordance with the relevant provisions set out in the relevant 'Principal Brochure'. Please refer to the relevant 'Principal Brochure' for details. Age is not the only factor you should take into consideration when you make any investment choices.
Fees and charges of an MPF Conservative Fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the fund or (ii) members' account by way of unit deduction. This fund uses method (ii) and, therefore, its unit prices, net asset value (NAV) or fund performance quoted (except for the fund performance figures quoted in a Fund Fact Sheet) do not reflect the impact of fees and charges.
Please note that after we receive and process your application form, your existing investments, new contributions and transfer-in MPF Benefits and AVC Benefits will be changed according to your investment option specified on the form.

HSBC is highly experienced in all four aspects involved in operating an MPF scheme: trustee, custodian, administrator and investment manager. This enables us to provide a comprehensive solution when meeting your MPF needs.
