Joint Messagesof CEO

I am proud to share with you that, with the completion of acquisition of AXA’s Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) and Occupational Retirement Schemes

Ordinance (ORSO) businesses in Hong Kong in September 2015, Principal has entered into an exclusive 15-year distribution partnership with AXA to provide pension products through AXA’s extensive proprietary distribution networks in Hong Kong. Principal becomes the top 5 MPF provider in the market1, increasing assets under management of our Hong Kong pension business to more than US $6 billion and number of clients to over 500 thousands.

Strategic Partnership with AXA

Our distribution network is also strengthened by the strategic partnership with AXA, leveraging the capabilities and expertise of AXA’s proprietary distribution networks in Hong Kong.

Increased business scale, dedicated to helping you more

Our goal is to help Hong Kong people retire. We will continue to focus our efforts on helping clients achieve their long-term savings goals and to provide them with a sense of security.

With the increased asset size and client base, we intend to create more value to our customers by offering enhanced retirement solutions, products and high quality customer services through an expanded distribution network.

I would like to extend my warm welcome to all AXA MPF members, as well as the professional financial consultants within AXA’s proprietary distribution networks. Thank you for their tremendous contribution and support during the process to bring the transaction to a great success. Once again, congratulations to making the transaction done. I am delighted with the launch of our strategic partnership and look forward to seizing the exciting opportunities in the HK retirement market together.

Meet the Manager: 2016 Global Investment Outlook專訪基金經埋：2016年環球投資前瞻

Q What is your view for 2016 in general?

A We are a little bit cautious for 2016. The outlook is mixed with negative and positive factors balancing each other out.

Our biggest concern relates to rapidly declining commodity prices. While it is very positive in the long run from the consumer’s perspective, it is creating problems in the near term. Corporate profits in the energy, mining and material sectors are down significantly. Companies are being forced to scale down their capital expenditure plans and some of them will have trouble servicing their debt, which is impacting credit markets negatively.

The other problem associated with such rapidly declining commodity prices relates to global capital flows. In the last decade, a lot of current account surpluses were accumulated by oil and commodity-producing countries which recycled them back by either purchasing goods and services or reinvesting them into global savings products. Many of such countries will be forced to reduce spending and cut global investments to support domestic expenditure. Either mechanism will impact global market sentiment negatively unless consumers start spending their tax windfalls. And this is where the good news starts.

Consumer driven economies are growing well. The US economy is growing in the range of 2%-2.5% with strong employment growth. Europe too is finally seeing lower unemployment rates. As consumer surpluses build up in these countries, they should start spending more which should bode well for Asia, a region that exports heavily to US and Europe.

Secondly, the increase in fiscal expenditures in China and Europe should provide additional boost to the global growth. China’s fiscal expenditure last year has increased almost by 18% year-on-year and signs that they continue to use fiscal means to push growth higher.

The third positive is the relatively cheap valuation of Asian Equities in terms of price-to-book and price-to-earnings ratios. Given that corporate profit margins have increased due to lower input costs for most Asian economies, an increase in asset turnover, if it happens, should provide a welcome boost to profits.

Q Which regions will you consider this year?

A On the equities side, we are more positive towards Europe and Japan. Thanks to negative deposit rates, financial conditions in the Euro Area have improved

significantly in the last 24 months, which will boost corporate bottomlines. The improvement in employment also bodes well for domestic consumption. The Japanese economy seems to be responding to Abenomics. Japanese companies are focusing more on improving their returns on equity and generating more shareholder wealth. Corporate governance, historically a weak area in Japan, is also getting better.

Asia is cheap on our valuation matrix, but one has to be selective. In the long run, we favour India, Indonesia and Philippines because of the potential for demographic dividends. Their economic growth rates range from 5% to 7.5%, which is quite high in the global context. These countries also benefit immensely from the low oil prices. Further, their political establishments are focusing on much needed reform, though progress hasn’t been as much as we had expected. We also like China, especially companies engaged in the newer economic sectors.

問整體而言，你怎樣看2016年的市場？

答我們對2016年保守而謹慎，預期今年的正面因素和負面因素將會相互平衡。

負面因素方面，我們最關注商品價格持續下跌。雖然商品價格下跌長遠對消費者有利，卻為短期內製造了不少問題。能源、礦物和物料公司的盈利大幅倒退，這些公司被逼削減資產開支計劃，部份公司甚至連償還債務也有問題，這對整個債市都會有負面 影響。

商品價格暴跌同時影響環球資金流向。上個十年，不少國家依靠出口石油和商品而賺取大量外匯，這些國家同時也向其他地區購買產品和服務，或者將財富重新投資在其他環球性的儲蓄產品。這些國家中不少或將被逼減少國內開支或者中止其環球投資作為支持國內開支，無論那一種取向都對環球市場不利，除非消費者受到商品減價的鼓勵而增加消費，消費意欲增加將是好的開始。

正面因素方面，我們見到消費市道向好並帶動經濟增長。美國經濟增長在2%至2.5%內並有強大的就業增長，歐洲也終於見到失業率下降。當這兩地的消費者開始累積盈餘，他們自然也更加願意消費，因而帶動亞洲的經濟，尤其是對出口歐美的亞洲國家 有利。

第二個正面因素來自中國和歐洲的財政開支，政策將可促進環球經濟增長。中國去年的財政開支按年增加了18%，從跡象看來中國會繼續用財政開支來推動更大經濟增長。

第三個正面因素，是因為亞洲股票的價值相對便宜，無論是從市帳率還是市盈率皆如是。基於大份亞洲企業的成本有所減低，企業盈利能力已得改善，因此生意額增加將可再推高盈利。

問今年你對那些市場感興趣？

答股票方面，我們比較喜歡歐洲和日本。過去24個月，歐元區的財務情況在負存款利率政策刺激下得到明顯改

善，從而促進企業盈利，而就業情況改善也預示了本地消費的好景。日本方面，該國經濟在安倍經濟學的帶領下得以改善，而日本企業則集中改善其股本回報率以及為股東創造財富。日本企業過去一向較弱的企業管治，近期也有所進步。

亞洲股市屬偏低估值的地區，但是投資時必須精心挑選個別股份。作為長線投資，我們喜歡印度、印尼和菲律賓，主要基於其人口紅利蘊含的潛力。這三個國家的年經濟增長由5%至7.5%不等，和全球相比實屬較高。它們並非常受惠低油價的好處。近年這三個國家將發展著眼在改革上，雖然實際進度未如理想。我們也喜歡中國股票，尤其是業務與新經濟行業有關的 公司。

To make the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) System better suit scheme members’ needs, the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (MPFA) from time to time reviews the System and makes improvements, such as refining the withdrawal arrangements for the MPF.

From 1 February 2016, when members reach the age of 65, they can choose to: withdraw their MPF by instalments, withdraw all their MPF in a lump sum, or retain all MPF in their accounts for continued investment. If members reach the age of 60 and decide to withdraw their MPF on the ground of early retirement, they can also choose to withdraw their MPF by instalments or in a lump sum.

If members choose to withdraw their MPF by instalments, the MPF retained in their accounts will continue to be invested in their chosen fund(s). The values of these assets may change due to market fluctuations. In addition, their accounts will, as usual, be subject to management fees and other charges by the trustees.

The law stipulates that trustees have to process free of charge2 withdrawals for the first four instalments of a member in a year. If members intend to withdraw their MPF by more than four instalments within a year, they must take note of any extra fee that may be incurred. They should contact their trustee for further details of the withdrawal arrangements.

For more information about this new arrangement, please refer to the MPFA’s leaflet “How to Manage Your MPF Upon Retirement?”.
