As a result of the change described above, the Underlying ETF will be investing in H-Share, Red-chips and P-chips effective from 5 March 2018 in order for the Relevant Constituent Fund to continue meeting the objective to match as closely as practicable the performance of the Relevant Index. The name of the Relevant Constituent Fund and the Underlying ETF will be changed to "Hang Seng China Enterprises Index Tracking Fund" and "Hang Seng China Enterprises Index ETF" respectively in order to better reflect the constituents of the Relevant Index.

Notwithstanding the changes described, there will be no change in the investment objective and policy, no material change or increase in the overall risk profile of the Relevant Constituent Fund.

Default Investment Strategy ('DIS") took effect on 1 April 2017. It is important for scheme members to understand how their accrued benefits in their Mandatory Provident Fund ('MPF") account(s) are impacted by the DIS. A DIS re-investment notice was sent to scheme members summarising changes and their impact to scheme members with regard to the DIS.

However, we have a number of scheme members who do not have up-to-date contact details in our record and remain un-contactable. As a result, we are unable to send the DIS re-investment notice to them. If you have not made any specific investment instructions in your MPF account and have not received the DIS re-investment notice from us, we would like to get in touch with you so that the above mentioned DIS re-investment notice can reach you as soon as possible. Therefore, you are urged to update us on your contact details.

According to the DIS legislation, for scheme members who do not make any specific investment instructions for their MPF accounts, if we have not received any specific investment instructions from these scheme members, their accrued benefits that are invested according to default investment arrangement specified by the scheme and/or future investments will be invested in DIS. For un-contactable HSBC MPF scheme members that fall into this category, such change in investment to DIS is targeted to happen in October 2017.

To update your contact details, please submit to us a Personal Details Change Form (IN91) that can be downloaded from here. For enquiries, please contact HSBC MPF Member Hotline on (852) 3128 0128.
