Are Existing Retirement Schemes Enough?

What did a 2011 survey say?

A 2011 Central Policy Unit-linked survey found existing retirement arrangements insufficient for future needs — retirement protection needs fiscal backing. With ageing, MPF plus personal savings alone leave many without secure retirements.

Why not enough?

Low MPF contribution rates, coverage gaps, fees eating returns; CSSA and the old-age allowance are safety nets, not retirement protection.

What should workers do?

Rather than wait for reform, rely on yourself: pick low-fee steady funds and review regularly — start at MPF fund comparison.
