Employee - Accrued Benefits

How much do I get if I leave employment?

If you resign, your vested benefit is calculated up to the date you leave your employment and according to the unit prices of the Constituent Funds at the time the payments or transfer of benefits are processed. If you have Employer Voluntary Contribution or Employer ORSO Transfer, the amount you're entitled to will depend on the reason for the termination reported by your employer and according to the vesting scale set by your employer.

You can refer to the 'Closing vested benefit' of the 'Accrued Benefit Summary' section for details of your accrued benefits entitlement as at 30 June 2023.

What can I do about my accrued benefits when I leave my current employment?

You can choose one of the options below. Your options include:

Retaining your accrued benefits in a personal account in the existing HSBC MPF scheme
Transferring them to a personal account in any MPF scheme of your choice
Transferring them to your new account under your new employer's MPF scheme
Transferring them to your existing account in an industry scheme (if any)

As you are accumulating your funds for retirement purpose, it is important that you consider the long term financial strength and security of the MPF service providers when making your decision.

What is the difference between 'Closing balance' and 'Adjusted closing balance' in the 'Accrued Benefit Summary'?

The 'Closing balance' is the dollar value of your MPF accounts, calculated based on the unit price, as at the last business day of June 2023, ie 30 June 2023.

The 'Adjusted closing balance' is the total balance of all invested Constituent Funds as at 30 June 2023, in which the greater of Actual Balance or the Guaranteed Balance of the investments in the Guaranteed Fund (if any) is used. If the account balance in the Guaranteed Fund is crystallised on 31 December, the 'Adjusted closing balance' will be equal to the 'Closing balance'. The guarantee in the Guaranteed Fund only applies under certain conditions. Please refer to the MPF Scheme Brochure for full details of the guarantee features (including in the context of payment of accrued benefits in instalments) and ‘Guarantee Conditions’.

For other Constituent Funds, the 'Adjusted closing balance' is equal to the 'Closing balance'.

What do 'Closing vested benefit' and 'Vesting percentage' represent?

'Closing vested benefit' represents the dollar value of your MPF account balances vested to you according to the governing rules of the scheme as at 30 June 2023 (assuming that you leave employment under normal conditions). 'Vesting percentage' represents the percentage of benefits you are entitled to as at 30 June 2023 in accordance with relevant scheme rules and MPF regulations.

'Closing vested benefit' = 'Adjusted closing balance*' x 'Vesting percentage'

* 'Adjusted closing balance' is the total balance of all invested Constituent Funds as at 30 June 2023, in which the greater of Actual Balance or the Guaranteed Balance of the investments in the Guaranteed Fund (if any) is used. If the account balance in the Guaranteed Fund is crystallised on 31 December, the 'Adjusted Closing balance' will be equal to the 'Closing balance'. For other Constituent Funds, the 'Adjusted closing balance' will be equal to the 'Closing balance'.

What is the amount of ORSO accrued benefits I am entitled to as at 30 June 2023?

You can refer to the 'ORSO transfer of current employment' columns of the 'Accrued Benefit Summary' section for details, where your entitlement is shown as 'Closing vested benefit', assuming you leave employment under normal conditions.

As the unvested benefits essentially belong to the employer, the employer can withdraw these benefits at any time.

The allocation of unvested benefits is called 'Employer reserve allocation.'

Which part of the MPF Member Benefit Statement should I refer to if I would like to know the investment returns for this scheme financial period?

You may refer to the 'Investment returns' in the 'Accrued Benefit Summary' section. The amounts are calculated based on the unit prices as at the last business day of June 2023, ie 30 June 2023 and are for reference only. The actual investment returns can be ascertained only when the benefits are paid out or transferred.

How can I calculate the amount of 'Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period'?

The amount of the 'Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period' is calculated by subtracting the opening balance and other transactions (excluding special bonus, bonus unit rebate and guarantee charge rebate (if any)) during the scheme financial period from the closing balance as at 30 June 2023.

Example:

The unit price for the Balanced Fund as at 30 June 2023 (the last business day of June 2023) is HKD20.97 and the number of units held in Balanced Fund is 4,519.415 units, therefore the closing balance is HKD94,772.13 (ie 4,519.415 units x HKD20.97).

Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period = Closing balance - Opening balance - Total contribution invested - Total amount transferred into scheme + Total amount transferred out of or withdrawn from scheme

HKD94,772.13 - HKD43,431.76 - HKD12,000.00 - HKD24,311.00 + HKD673.30 = HKD15,702.67

For calculation the amount of the 'Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period', please refer to the snapshot below of MPF Member Benefit Statement.

How are the fees for the MPF Conservative Fund deducted?

Fees and charges of the MPF Conservative Fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the MPF Conservative Fund or (ii) Members' account by way of unit deduction. From 1 July 2015, fees and charges deduction method of MPF Conservative Fund of the HSBC MPF scheme has changed from method (ii) to method (i). Therefore, the unit prices, net asset value (NAV) and fund performance of MPF Conservative Fund quoted have reflected the impact of fees and charges for the period starting from 1 July 2015. Before 1 July 2015, the unit prices, NAVs and the fund performance quoted for MPF Conservative Fund have not reflected the impact of fees and charges.

Employee - Summary of Account Movements

What is 'Summary of Account Movements'?

The 'Summary of Account Movements' shows the overview of total amount moved in and out of your HSBC MPF account(s) within the current scheme financial period.

What is displayed on the fund allocation pie chart?

The pie chart shows the fund allocation of your closing balance as at the end of the scheme financial period. It contains the five largest holdings in Constituent Fund invested and the aggregated balance of the rest of holdings in Constituent Fund invested (ie, 'Others') (if any). It will be sorted by percentage and Constituent Fund name by alphabetical order if there are the same holdings. If your closing balance is zero, no fund allocation will be shown.

Why does the fund allocation shown on the pie chart not match with my Constituent Funds invested? Which part of the statement should I refer to if I would like to know the fund allocation of my MPF account?

The pie chart displays the five largest holdings in Constituent Funds invested with the percentage of the closing balance. For more than five Constituent Funds invested, the aggregated balance of the rest of holdings is grouped as ‘Others’. You may refer to the 'Asset Allocation' section which lists out all your holdings in Constituent Funds invested as at the end of scheme financial period.

What is the difference between 'Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period' and 'Account(s) gain/(loss) since inception'?

'Account(s) gain/(loss) during the period' shows the dollar value of overall account gain/(loss) of your MPF accounts, including 'special bonus', 'bonus unit rebate' and 'guarantee charge rebate' (if applicable), for the current scheme financial period only.

'Account(s) gain/(loss) since inception' reflects the overall account gain/(loss) of your MPF accounts since you first joined that MPF account, which also includes 'special bonus', 'bonus unit rebate', 'guarantee charge rebate' and 'unit deduction (for expenses of Constituent Fund) for MPF Conservative Fund' (if applicable).

How can I calculate the amount of 'Account gain/(loss) since inception'?

The amount of the 'Account gain/(loss) since inception' is calculated by adding the 'investment returns', 'special bonus', 'bonus unit rebate', 'guarantee charge rebate' and minus 'unit deduction (for expenses of Constituent Fund) for the MPF Conservative Fund' (if any) of all years starting from the first day you joined that MPF account.

'Account gain/(loss) since inception' = all years' 'Investment returns' + all years' 'Special bonus' + all years' 'Bonus unit rebate' + all years' 'Guarantee charge rebate' - all years' 'Unit deduction (for expenses of Constituent Fund) for the MPF Conservative Fund'.

Employee - Zero Balance Statement

Why do some of the statements show a few paragraphs stating that the account balance is zero?

If a scheme member's MPF account does not have any fund balances and transactions during the scheme financial period from 1 July 2022 to 30 June 2023, we will issue a statement explaining some possible circumstances that may result in a zero balance.

Under what circumstances will there be no contributions or fund balance for the scheme member?

Employer must submit the first contributions for the non-casual employee by the 10th day after the last day of the month during which the 60-day permitted period ends. Therefore it is possible that contributions are not yet due as at 30 June 2023.
The relevant income is zero, and therefore, no contributions is payable.
Non-casual employee leaves the scheme prior to any contributions being payable, ie non-casual employee ceases the employment within the 60-day permitted period after joining the employer.
The contributions may have been processed after 30 June 2023.
The scheme member has enrolled with another scheme and hence has not made any contributions to the account.
The scheme member is a personal account holder and the transferred monies have not yet been received or processed as at 30 June 2023.

Transferring them to a personal account in any MPF scheme of your choice
Transferring them to your new account under your new employer's MPF scheme
