Investments inherently involve risks and the prices of units may go down as well as up. Past performance is not indicative of future performance. For further details including the product features and risk involved, please refer to the Explanatory Memorandum of the relevant Scheme.

Note 1: Various markets in which the BEA (MPF) Greater China Growth Fund and BEA (Industry Scheme) Greater China Growth Fund will invest are considered as emerging markets. As emerging markets tend to be more volatile than developed markets, any holdings in emerging markets are exposed to higher levels of market risks.

Note 2: BEA (MPF) Long Term Guaranteed Fund invested solely in an Approved Pooled Investment Fund in a form of insurance policy provided by Principal Insurance Company (Hong Kong) Limited (the "Guarantor"). The Guarantor offers the guarantee of capital and guaranteed rate of return for the Fund. The guaranteed rate of return for contributions made to the Fund after 30 September 2004 was revised. The revised guarantee rate would be the "new applicable rate", which is currently set at 1% p.a. The guaranteed rate of return for contributions made to the Fund on or before 30 September 2004 remains unchanged (5% p.a.).

The guarantee of capital and the prescribed guarantee rate of return will only be offered if the contributions invested are withdrawn upon the occurrence of a "qualifying event", which is the receipt by the Guarantor through the Trustee of a valid claim of all the accrued benefits of the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) Death d) Permanent departure from Hong Kong e) Claim of "small balance". The above conditions (a) to (e) apply to employee members, self-employed persons, "preserved account holders" and Personal Contribution Account Members; f) Termination of the Member's employment and the continuous period for which the Member has been investing in Fund up to and including the last date of his employment ("qualifying period") is at least 36 complete months. (This only applies if the Member is employed in a company participating in the Master Trust). Such qualifying period is determined at the scheme account level. The qualifying period may also be re-set to zero if the Member (or his representative) effects a redemption, switching out or withdrawal of investments from the Fund other than upon the occurrence of a qualifying event. For the avoidance of doubt, condition (f) does not apply to self-employed Members, preserved account holders or Personal Contribution Account Members.

If a redemption, switching out or withdrawal of the units of the fund is effected other than the occurrence of a qualifying event as stated above, the guarantee will be affected. Special terms and conditions apply regarding how the guarantee operates. Please refer to the Provision of Guarantee in the Appendix of the Explanatory Memorandum for details of the guarantee features and guarantee conditions.

Note 3: BEA (MPF) Conservative Fund and BEA (Industry Scheme) MPF Conservative Fund do not provide any guarantee of the repayment of capital.

Fees and charges of MPF Conservative Fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the fund or (ii) members' account by way of unit deduction. BEA (MPF) Conservative Fund and BEA (Industry Scheme) MPF Conservative Fund use method (ii) and, therefore, unit prices, net asset value and fund performance quoted (except for the fund performance figures quoted in a fund fact sheet) do not reflect the impact of fees and charges.
