                                                              You should consider whether your provider has sufficient constituent fund choices to cater to your employees' needs.
                                                              How many constituent funds does your existing MPF provider offer to your employees?

                                                              Diversified constituent fund choices are important because different life stages, risk tolerance levels and financial situations require different types of portfolios in order to achieve the retirement goals of your employees.

This enables us to independently appoint investment managers with diverse investment styles and philosophies to be used in our schemes. For further details, please refer to the latest principal brochure. As of today, 8 fund managers have been engaged to help managing your MPF. Overall speaking, the use of multiple fund managers allows us to focus on, among others, the service quality of the fund managers through our selection and monitoring process and provides us with the flexibility to replace fund managers independently.
