* 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The guarantee of capital and return will only be offered if the contributions in the fund are withdrawn upon the occurrence of a "qualifying event", which is the receipt by the Trustee of a valid claim of all the accrued benefits of the member upon satisfying any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, existing 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 the MPF Scheme Brochure under the section "Provision of Guarantee" for details of the guarantee conditions.
