Important Notes:

1. Principal MPF Scheme Series 600 ("Scheme") is an MPF Scheme.
2. The Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund under this Scheme invests solely in an approved pooled investment fund in the form of an insurance policy issued by Principal Insurance Company (Hong Kong) Limited ("Principal"). The guarantee is also provided by Principal. Your investments in the Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund, if any, are therefore subject to the credit risk of Principal. Please refer to the "Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund" section of the Principal Brochure of the Scheme for details of the credit risk, guarantee features and guarantee conditions.
3. Principal, the Guarantor of the Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund under this Scheme, will only provide a guarantee of capital and a prescribed guarantee rate of return in certain specified circumstances. Please note that you may lose the guarantee entitlement if you have elected to transfer your accrued benefits in the Scheme (i) from an account within the Scheme to another account within the Scheme; (ii) from the Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund to another constituent fund in the Scheme; or (iii) to another MPF scheme as described in the sub-section (B) "Transferring benefits from or within the Scheme" under the section "Employee's Choice - Transferring accrued benefits to and from the Scheme" of the Principal Brochure. Please refer to page 10 of the Principal Brochure under the section "Provision of Guarantee" for details of the guarantee conditions. Please also note that a partial withdrawal of accrued benefits may affect your guarantee entitlement under the Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund. For details, please refer to the section "Provision of Guarantee" on page 10 and the section "Guarantee entitlement in respect of partial withdrawal of accrued benefits upon retirement or early retirement" on page 13.
4. If you are currently investing in Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund, a withdrawal of the accrued benefits on ground of terminal illness may affect your entitlement to the guarantee and you may lose your guarantee. For details please check the Scheme offering document or consult your trustee before making any such withdrawal.   
5. Investment in the Principal HK Dollar Savings Fund is different from placing deposits with a bank or deposit-taking company and is not protected by the Deposit Protection Scheme. Investment in this Fund will be subject to investment risks.
6. The Principal MPF Conservative Fund under this Scheme is not a guaranteed fund and does not guarantee the repayment of capital. Fees and charges of an MPF conservative fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the fund or (ii) members' account by way of unit deduction. This fund uses method (i) and, therefore, unit prices/net asset value/fund performance quoted have incorporated the impact of fees and charges.
7. You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before making any investment choices. When, in your selection of funds, you are in doubt as to whether a certain fund is suitable for you (including whether it is consistent with your investment objectives), you should seek financial and/or professional advice and choose the fund(s) most suitable for you, taking into account your own circumstances. 
8. You should consider your own tolerance level and financial circumstances before investing in the Default Investment Strategy ("DIS"). You should note that the Principal Core Accumulation Fund and the Principal Age 65 Plus Fund may not be suitable for you, and there may be a risk mismatch between the Principal Core Accumulation Fund and the Principal Age 65 Plus Fund and your risk profile (the resulting portfolio risk may be greater than your risk preference). You should seek financial and/or professional advice if you are in doubt as to whether the DIS is suitable for you, and make the investment decision most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances.
9. You should note that the implementation of the DIS may have an impact on your MPF investments and benefits. You should consult with the Trustee if you have doubts on how you are being affected.
10. In the event that you do not make any investment choices, please be reminded that any contributions made and/or benefits transferred into this Scheme will be invested into the DIS.
11. Investment involves risks. The past performance is not indicative of future performance. Your investment may suffer significant loss. There is no assurance on investment returns and you may not get back the amount originally invested. The value of the funds may go up or down. You should not invest in reliance on this marketing material alone. You should read the Principal Brochure of the Scheme for further details (including investment policy, risk factors, fee and charges of the constituent funds).

* Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund

Principal, the Guarantor of the Principal Long Term Guaranteed Fund under this Scheme, will only provide a guarantee of capital and a prescribed guarantee rate of return in certain specified circumstances.  Your investments are subject to the credit risk of Principal. 

The guarantee of capital and return will only be offered if the contributions in the fund are withdrawn upon the occurrence of a "qualifying event", which is the receipt by the Trustee of a valid claim of all the accrued benefits of the member upon satisfying any of the following conditions:

(a) Attainment of the normal retirement age or retirement at or after the early retirement age but before the normal retirement age

(b) Total incapacity

(c) Terminal illness

(d) Death

(e) Permanent departure from Hong Kong

(f) Claim of "small balance" 

The above conditions (a) to (f) apply to employee members, self-employed persons, Special Voluntary Contributions members and personal account members.

(g) Termination of the member's employment (regardless of the reason of termination) and the continuous period for which the member has been investing in the fund up to and including the last date of his employment ("qualifying period") is at least 36 complete months.  The qualifying period in respect of a member will also be re-set to zero if the member (or his personal representative) effects a redemption, switching out or withdrawal of the units of the fund other than upon the occurrence of a qualifying event.  For the avoidance of doubt, condition (g) does not apply to self-employed persons or personal account members.

If a redemption, switching out or withdrawal of units of the fund is effected by a member other than upon the occurrence of a qualifying event as stated above, the guarantee will be affected and the member's investments in this fund will be subject to market fluctuation and investment risks.  Please refer to page  8 of  the Principal Brochure under the section "Provision of Guarantee" for details of the guarantee conditions.
