14 BOC-Prudential Easy-Choice Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme Pamphlet Important Information General 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 independent financial and/or professional advice and choose the fund(s) most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances. You should consider your own risk tolerance level and financial circumstances before investing in the MPF Default Investment Strategy (as defined in section 3.1A headed MPF Default Investment Strategy in the principal brochure of BOC-Prudential Easy-Choice Mandatory Provident Fund Scheme (the Scheme )). You should note that the BOC-Prudential Core Accumulation Fund and the BOC-Prudential Age 65 Plus Fund may not be suitable for you, and there may be a risk mismatch between the BOC-Prudential Core Accumulation Fund and the BOC-Prudential 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 MPF Default Investment Strategy is suitable for you, and make the investment decision most suitable for you taking into account your circumstances. You should note that the implementation of the MPF Default Investment Strategy may have an impact on your MPF investments and benefits. We recommend that you consult with the Trustee if you have doubts on how you are being affected. Fees and charges of a MPF conservative fund can be deducted from either (i) the assets of the fund or (ii) members account by way of unit deduction. The BOC-Prudential MPF Conservative Fund uses method (i) and, therefore, unit prices/nav/fund performance quoted have incorporated the impact of fees and charges. You should not solely rely on the stand-alone marketing material to make any investment decision. Please refer to the principal brochure of the Scheme for further details (including risk factors, fees and charges, and fund information). Investment involves risks. Prices of units of the constituent funds may go down as well as up. The past performance information is not indicative of future performance.

Other than such circumstances, the Trustee will charge a handling fee of HK$100 per withdrawal of accrued benefits by instalments as specified in Table (E) of principal brochure section 7.1, and such fee will be deducted from your withdrawal amount.
