More than 150,000 wage earners benefit from HSBC Hang Seng minus MPF charges

HSBC and Hang Seng Bank (011) again reduced the MPF management fee from 1.35% to 1.3%. HSBC Hong Kong Retirement Supervisor Ye Shiqi said that the adjusted fee will be lower than the median market. It is expected that about 150,000 “wage earners” will benefit from the approval of the relevant regulatory authorities and is expected to take effect on July 1.

Ye Shiqi pointed out that the HSBC MPF “Optional Plan” will be incorporated into the “Smart Choice Scheme”. After the merger, there will be 20 constituent funds to choose from. At the same time, the management fees for European equity funds and North American equity funds will be lowered, from 1.35% of the annual net asset value to 1.3%, and the two funds will be about 7 billion yuan, involving 150,000 members. Instead, the bank has lowered the fund management fee for the seventh time since 2007, and last adjusted to December 2017.
