VS Guaranteed, balanced and growth funds
Guaranteed Fund AIA HSBC • the portfolio of the funds can be different even their name are the same, so called guaranteed fund.
Period return % AIA HSBC 00-01 3.77 -2.4 01-02 2.08 -0.41 02-03 1.5 0.21 03-04 1.5 0.21 04-05 1.92 -0.41 Annualized rate % 2006 AIA HSBC 1 year 2.00 2.26 5 year 1.83 0.37 Since launch 2.22 -0.10 Last year 2005 2.00 -1.73 Guaranteed Fund • Due to the difference in allocation, their rate of return will also be affected • not only come from the rising interest rate, but also from the stock market fluctuation Source from HSBC and AIA fund fact sheet Sep, 3quarter 2006
Balanced fund AIA • This diversifies some risks from the volatility of stock market when it in a climate of contrasting economic currents, cooling growth and highly inflation. • we have to aware that equity investment is much risky than the bonds. The investors of HSBC have to bear the extra 35% risky than AIA ’s investors. HSBC
AIA generated 1.83% above average, but HSBC is 0.37. • AIA WIN
Growth fund • Because of their similarity, we are able to compare which fund manager are performed better. • the past performance of them can be very different although they have a similar allocation percentage.
Period return over 2000-2006 HSBC tends to be fluctuating over time to time, especially in the early year 2001-2003. This implied that HSBC ‘s fund portfolio poorly took advantage of diversification
Which funds should I choose? • whichever funds we are chosen is depended on your the degree of risk you can bear. • The simple way to test how much you can bear is 100 minus your current age • it is employers to determine which MPF service provider should be chosen, not the employee.
