2019 Scheme Ratings and Award Winners Announced by MPF Ratings

MPF Ratings Ltd (MPFR), an independent MPF research provider today announced its highly anticipated annual ratings of MPF Schemes; and for the first time ever both HSBC and Hang Seng’s SuperTrust Plus and ValueChoice schemes achieved a “Gold” rating; the highest rating issued by MPFR.  The ratings are seen as an industry standard as the ratings are relative to industry participants and considers factors beyond simply performance and fees. Schemes are awarded “Gold”, “Silver” and “Bronze” ratings to reflect a schemes’ overall value for money to members.

MPF Ratings’ Chairman, Francis Chung (叢川普), said assessing schemes in a volatile investment climate highlighted the importance of other factors. “Rising account balances have elevated the public’s awareness of MPF. Beyond performance and fees MPF account holders are now demanding better levels of service and protection of their interests.  The two biggest MPF providers, HSBC/Hang Seng and Manulife, are leading the industry in governance reform, while Sun Life is delivering industry leading information to allow their members to make better informed decisions. All of which is important, especially in a difficult investment climate.”

While announcing the ratings, MPFR also announced its award recipients, whose contributions to the MPF industry in the past 12 months will be celebrated at next month’s “The 2019 MPF Awards”; an evening which will culminate the announcement of the “MPF Scheme of the Year, the “MPF People’s Choice Award” and the “MPF Employers’ Choice Award”.
