                                                              BCT Group debuts a brand new commercial today. Three common MPF challenges are highlighted from the perspective of MPF members, which are solved with the help of the "Piggy Army" and BCT's service professional.

                                                              According to the MPFA's June 2016 issue of the "Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Statistical Digest", there are over 3.8 million employed persons in Hong Kong and over 9 million MPF contribution and personal accounts. According to BCT's survey, nearly 50% of members have never managed their MPF accounts. The common reasons include they think it is too tedious, they are not investment-savvy, or they do not have time. These members tend to look for companies that are professional and can offer comprehensive services to handle their MPF matters.

                                                              Therefore, the brand new commercial aims to portray that BCT, an MPF expert, is here to help members easily consolidate MPF accounts, analyze fund performance, and manage MPF accounts well. Stay tuned for the brand new commercial on various TV channels, newspapers, MTR stations and online media, and visit www.bcthk.com/mpf to learn more about BCT's service platform.
