MPF Employee Choice Arrangement
What is MPF Employee Choice Arrangement?
Mandatory Provident Fund Authority (“MPFA”) has launched MPF Employee Choice Arrangement on 1st November 2012. It provides employees with more freedom on selection of MPF service provider.
In brief, MPF Employee Choice Arrangement allows employees to transfer out, once a year (1st Jan to 31st Dec), the MPF asset (accrued MPF contribution including investment return) from employee portion at the current MPF contribution account to an MPF trustee of their own choice.
Advantages of MPF Employee Choice Arrangement
- Employees can have more flexibility on managing their MPF asset.
- Employees can select MPF service provider and MPF plan freely base on their own needs.
Notes for selection of MPF service provider, MPF plan and MPF asset transfer
- Consider the independency, professionalism, and service quality of MPF service provider.
- Consider the fee & charge and choice of MPF plan.
- MPF asset transfer involves certain risks, including: MPF fund units of the original MPF plan are required to be sold out, the MPF asset is then transferred to the new MPF service provider. It normally takes certain time for completing the whole process of MPF asset transfer, so relevant MPF asset will be out of the investment market for a short period of time. Besides, loss could be occurred as guarantee terms could be voided when executing the MPF asset transfer, if guarantee fund has been selected at the original MPF plan.
