BCT (MPF) Pro Choice and BCT (MPF) Industry Choice
You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before making any investment choices or investing according to the Default Investment Strategy. When, in your selection of funds or the Default Investment Strategy, you are in doubt as to whether a certain fund or the Default Investment Strategy is suitable for you (including whether it is consistent with your investment objective), you should seek financial and / or professional advice and choose the investment choice(s) most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances.
In the event that you do not make any investment choices, please be reminded that your contributions made and / or accrued benefits transferred into the Plan will be invested in accordance with the Default Investment Strategy, which may not necessarily be suitable for you.
Your investment decision should not be based on this website alone. Please read the MPF Scheme brochures of BCT (MPF) Pro Choice and BCT (MPF) Industry Choice for further details, including the risk factors.
Members should note that BCT (Pro) Asian Income Retirement Fund does not provide any guarantee on capital or investment return or dividend yield, and their investments therein (including dividends distributed) are subject to the same vesting, preservation and withdrawal requirements applicable to mandatory and voluntary contributions (as applicable). The BCT (Pro) Asian Income Retirement Fund may pay dividends out of net distributable income and/or capital, which will result in an immediate decrease or adjustment in the net asset value per unit. The payment of dividends (if any) will involve an investment time-lag and is subject to out-of-market risk. There is no assurance on the dividend distribution frequency and the dividend amount/yield may fluctuate.
Members should note that the regular and frequent distribution of dividends and reinvestment of dividends will inevitably involve an investment time-lag during which dividends are not reinvested and are subject to out-of-market risk on a recurring basis (currently, on a monthly basis). During the period pending reinvestment, the net asset value per unit of the relevant constituent fund (i.e. BCT (Pro) Asian Income Retirement Fund for members below the age of 65, or the Age 65 Plus Fund for members who have reached the age of 65) into which dividends are reinvested may have gone up or down, and accordingly the members’ investment return may be impacted negatively or positively. Therefore the investment return for these members may deviate from that derived from a constituent fund with a similar investment portfolio without such arrangement, meaning that the dividend distribution arrangement of BCT (Pro) Asian Income Retirement Fund may not always be advantageous to these members.
Members should note that BCT (Pro) Asian Income Retirement Fund does not provide any guarantee on the capital or investment return or dividend amount / yield. There is no assurance on the dividend distribution frequency and the dividend amount / yield may fluctuate.
Members should note that investment markets could fluctuate significantly. Fund prices may go down as well as up. There is no guarantee that, given the time required to implement fund switching instructions, such instructions will achieve your desired results. Please carefully consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances (as well as your own retirement plan) before making any investment choices. If in doubt, please contact your independent financial advisor for further details.

BCT Encouraged the Public to Plan their Retirement Life in Multiple Aspects
BCT Group ("BCT") held a media briefing this morning to announce the findings of a study we conducted on retirement satisfaction in Hong Kong.
To better understand the retirement needs of Hong Kong people, BCT commissioned international market research company GFK to conduct the "Public Opinion Survey on Retirement Satisfaction" last year, and invited Dr. Billy S.C. Mak, Associate Professor of the Department of Finance and Decision Sciences of the School of Business at the Hong Kong Baptist University, to be the consultant of the survey. The survey interviewed 805 people, among which 735 are working individuals, and 70 have retired.
Key findings are as follows:
41% of the working respondents deem retirement as "no end in sight" - around 50% of the working group state that they are "not prepared for retirement". 30% even believe that they have to work beyond 65.
Gaps between ideal retirement and financial preparations - While 62% of the working group hope to enjoy "financial freedom", 51% save less than 10% of their monthly salary for retirement, and 69% make no voluntary MPF contribution.
47% of the working respondents anticipate an unhappy retirement - 43% of the working group expect a "decline in physical strength" while 38% believe that they will experience some "financial constraints"; and 32% associate retirement with "a boring life".
Workers' biggest wish after retirement is to travel - 56% of the working respondents wish to take at least 1 short trip (less than 5 days) a year while 26% of them wish to take at least 1 long trip (more than 5 days) a year.
In addition to MPF, 60% of the respondents use stocks as an investment vehicle for retirement - Among both working (57%) and retiree (59%) groups, more than half of the respondents choose equity as an investment vehicle for retirement preparations. Other financial products used include insurance saving plan/investment-linked insurance, fund/bond, foreign currency, and property investment. It is worth noting that more respondents from the working group choose annuity (20%) as an investment vehicle than the retiree group (6%).
42% of the working respondents find generally available retirement information insufficient - Apart from financial information (57%), individuals from the working group prefer to acquire more information on health management (65%), medical care (58%) and retirement lifestyle (57%). Meanwhile, family, friends and the traditional media channels are their key sources of retirement information, followed by social media (31%).
At the event, Ka Shi shared the key findings of the survey and introduced "Step Up with BCT", an online platform offering a range of resources and tools that support various aspects of retirement planning. Dr. Mak also explained the important aspects in retirement planning apart from financial management: self-actualisation, social support network, and a healthy lifestyle.
A trusting partnership with the right MPF/ORSO provider is important for every employer. The right partner can provide you with quality products, trusted care, and professional services. With a good business partner, you can rely on their expertise while you focus on managing your business.
With sound background from 8 established financial institutions, BCT focuses on offering MPF and ORSO services to help employers plan their employee benefits.
Pension Specialists
Over 360 pension professionals focused on the provision and servicing of pension and investment funds.
You should consider whether your provider has sufficient constituent fund choices to cater to your employees' needs. How many constituent funds does your existing MPF provider offer to your employees?
Diversified constituent fund choices are important because different life stages, risk tolerance levels and financial situations require different types of portfolios in order to achieve the retirement goals of your employees.
Our MPF schemes have a wide range of constituent funds^
Our MPF schemes offer constituent funds managed by different investment managers that are not affiliated with the BCT Group. This enables us to independently appoint investment managers with diverse investment styles and philosophies to be used in our schemes. For further details, please refer to the latest principal brochure. As of today, 8 fund managers have been engaged to help managing your MPF. Overall speaking, the use of multiple fund managers allows us to focus on, among others, the service quality of the fund managers through our selection and monitoring process and provides us with the flexibility to replace fund managers independently.
