Every worker either has a Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) account or Occupational Retirement Schemes (ORSO). Do you evaluate your account regularly? Or do you feel the information is so complicated that you are reluctant to deal with it? If you are either one of the above, you may have suffered from the so-called “MPF procrastination”. However, passive management of MPF will impact your retirement financial planning in the long run. CUEGU and Fidelity International are co-organising two financial planning seminars with details as below:
1) Fidelity MPF 101 – how to overcome MPF procrastination? While procrastination has long been recognized as one of the biggest impediments to post-retirement financial wellness, many of us still put off managing our MPF for reasons like “It’s so difficult”, “I don’t care about the returns”, “I’m still years away from retirement”, or simply “I’m too busy”. This passive approach will not bode well for your retirement nest egg. Please join this seminar, hosted by Fidelity, to learn tips and best practices on how to overcome procrastination on your MPF management. The following topics will be covered:
Investment Playbook for 2024
Tips to manage your MPF
Tax savings with MPF Event details: Date: Friday, 26 January 2024 Time: 6:15 – 7:00pm Venue: Rm 103, Wong Foo Yuan Building
2) Rising to the retirement challenge Lengthening life expectancy in Hong Kong is met with ever rising cost of living. Longevity could be a blessing if supported by adequate financial resources. To enjoy a worry-free retirement, we must understand the financial risks brought about by longevity and how to manage them effectively. Please join this seminar, hosted by Fidelity, to learn tips and best practices on financial planning for retirement, and explore potential solutions for your retirement income. The following topics will be covered:
Investment Playbook for 2024
Financial planning for retirement
Solutions for retirement income Event details: Date: Monday, 29 January 2024 Time: 6:15 – 7:00pm Venue: Rm 103, Wong Foo Yuan Building *Limited seat quota, priority to CUEGU members.
