Programmes to enhance knowledge of MPF investments and management
What should I do with my MPF when I change jobs next month? How should I manage my MPF investments in the face of volatile markets? These and other questions will be addressed in an upcoming series of public education programmes on the MPF.
The Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) is rolling out various programmes in different districts in the coming few weeks. These programmes, which include a seminar and a roving exhibition, will provide free information on MPF investments and management of MPF accounts. Members of the public are welcome to join the events.
Details of the programmes are as follows:
Talk on managing MPF when changing jobs
Many people have changed jobs before and some may even have a number of MPF preserved accounts without any idea of how to manage them. Young people may also lack experience in managing their MPF. As part of the on-going initiatives to provide MPF information to these career starters, the MPFA will set up an information booth in the Youth Career & Education Fair to be held in Tsuen Wan this Friday and Saturday. An MPF talk on handling preserved accounts will also be organised at the fair on Saturday to remind scheme members of the MPF DOs and DON'Ts when changing jobs.
MPF investment seminar
The seminar is jointly organised by the MPFA and the Open University of Hong Kong. Guest speakers include well-known financial commentator Dr Kenny Tang and veteran financial planner Mr Alvin Lam. They will share their insights on MPF investments and their views on market trends in the seminar, which will be conducted in Chinese.
MPF Investment Information Centre
A new round of exhibitions entitled "Making Informed Decisions for your MPF Life" MPF Investment Information Centre, will be held in Lam Tin in mid March. The MPFA has arranged for CFPCM certified financial planners to be stationed at the MPF Investment Information Centre to help scheme members make investment decisions that best suit their personal needs. Scheme members can bring along their Annual Benefits Statements and receive free, independent analysis of their MPF investments and retirement plan at the event.
Online game: The MPF Journey of Adventure
Scheme members can also sit back at home and learn more about the MPF while enjoying the fun of an online game. In March, the MPFA will launch an online game called The MPF Journey of Adventure. Players are invited to complete three "MPF tasks", including answering a few multiple-choice questions on MPF investment, within a prescribed time limit. Gifts will be given to the 20 highest-scoring participants. Details of the online game will soon be released on the MPFA website.
