You should decide how to treat your MPF benefits accrued in your current employment account.

Under the MPF legislation, you need to preserve your accrued benefits derived from mandatory contributions when you change jobs. You can transfer your accrued benefits accumulated from your previous employment to a personal account with Hang Seng MPF, or transfer your accrued benefits to your new employer's MPF scheme or another scheme of your choice.

Hang Seng MPF personal account is an individual account held in your own name to preserve your accrued benefits. Keeping your MPF in one place makes it easy to manage and keep track of your account.

If you are joining Hang Seng MPF from another provider, transferring your accrued benefits could not be easier. Just complete and submit the 'Scheme Member's Request for Fund Transfer Form' (HAPM) and 'Personal Account Holder Application Form' (HA81) to enable us to set up a personal account for you, and we will ask your existing MPF service provider to transfer your accrued benefits to us.

You also need to enrol yourself into an MPF scheme as a self-employed person.

Yes, you may use the Flexi-Contributions Application Form (HAPC) to make ad hoc lump sum contributions after you have set up your regular Flexi-Contributions.

Simply complete a Change of Regular Flexi-Contributions Instruction Form (HAPA) and send it to us. 

You may request to withdraw your Flexi-Contributions up to 12 times in a financial year (from 1 July to 30 June each year), subject to a minimum of HKD5,000 for each withdrawal.

You need to complete a Flexi-Contributions Partial Withdrawal Request Form (HAPD) and return it to our MPF Administrator. There is no handling charge. Please follow the instructions and requirements stated on the form. 

Yes. To make regular additional Voluntary Contributions through deductions from your salary, you should complete a Change of Additional Voluntary Contribution Arrangement Form (HA55) and ask your employer to make the arrangements for you.

Both are voluntary contributions in addition to your mandatory contributions. The major differences are as follows:

• You can set up Flexi-Contributions directly with us without going through your employer. It is totally private and independent from your employer. You can also choose your preferred direct debit date. You do not need your employer's consent to withdraw additional contributions you have made by this method.

• However, if you would like to make additional voluntary contributions through deductions from your salary, you must set up the arrangement via your employer. The contribution date will be the same as that of your mandatory contributions. If there is contractual arrangement of voluntary contributions in your scheme, these will require your employer's consent for withdrawal.

Learn more about Flexi-Contributions.

Yes, you can retain your Flexi-Contributions in your MPF personal account after your cessation of employment. There is no extra charge. When you select your transfer option on the Scheme Member's Request for Fund Transfer Form (HAPM), simply choose to treat your voluntary contributions in the same way as your mandatory contributions.

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 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 of 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 2022 to 30 June 2023 is 0.15% per annum.

The rate for the financial year from 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024 is 0.15% 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.

For the purpose of preventing inattentive small account balance of accrued benefits remained in your MPF account after the withdrawal by instalment, if your account balance is less than or equal to 105% of your requested withdrawal amount, your entire account balance will be withdrawn as a lump sum. However, if you would not like to have this 105% arrangement applied but prefer to be paid the exact amount per your request even if small account balance of accrued benefits may be remained in your MPF account after the withdrawal, you could specify your request in Item (3) under Section II of the 'Claim Form for Payment of Accrued Benefits on Ground of Attaining the Retirement Age of 65 or Early Retirement' [FORM MPF(S) – W(R)] (HAPR).

In Hong Kong, the statutory declaration must be made before and signed by a Commissioner for Oath at either the Public Enquiry Service Centre of the Home Affairs Department, a Notary Public or a Justice of the Peace. A statutory declaration made in a place other than Hong Kong is also acceptable provided that it is made before and signed by a Notary Public or a person authorised under the law of that place to administer an oath or take a statutory declaration.

By law, the accrued benefits of a deceased member will be payable to his/her personal representative as indicated in a Letter of Probate or Letter of Administration granted by the Probate Registry. Members do not need to designate any beneficiary during enrolment.

The personal representative should complete a 'Claim Form for Payment of MPF Accrued Benefits (Benefits) on Grounds of Permanent Departure from Hong Kong/Total Incapacity/Terminal Illness/Small Balance/Death [Form MPF(S) - W(O)]' (Download HAPO form) and submit it with the following documents to us:

•  A copy of the claimant's HKID card for verification of the name and identity card number of the claimant if the claimant does not wish to present the card in person for verification

•  A copy of the Letter of Probate or Letters of Administration granted by the Probate Registry / a letter requesting withdrawal of the accrued benefits issued by the Official Administrator if the claim is made by the Official Administrator

•  Claimant’s Individual Tax Residency Self-Certification Form (CRS-I (HK)-MPF) (Download HACI form)

A certified true copy is a duplicated copy which is certified by an authorised party that it has been photocopied from an original document. Customers can bring along a completed application form together with all original supporting documents to any of our designated Hang Seng Bank branches. Our MPF Specialist will assist them to prepare certified true copies. Alternatively, the certified true copies can be signed by public accountant/lawyer/banker/notary public acceptable to entities of HSBC Group or a member of Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries (HKICS) to make such certification.
