What did Gain Miles foresee for MPF in July 2011?
In July 2011, Gain Miles’ Gloria Siu said more themed MPF funds were coming — emerging-market equities, index funds, target-date retirement funds — to win switchers after semi-portability. Equity funds had grown from 15% of assets in 2001 to 29% in 2010, while guaranteed funds shrank from 21% to 10%.
How to pick funds in 2011?
Market-savvy members could try single-market Asia or Hong Kong equity funds; others could use balanced funds; slow-recovering US/Europe equities were not recommended.
Would fees fall sharply?
Semi-portability would trim fees only modestly; compare fees and performance at MPF fund comparison.
