Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information to be Implemented for MPF Schemes and ORSO Registered Schemes on 1 January 2020
With the legislative amendments made to the Inland Revenue Ordinance, Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information (AEOI) in tax matters relating to MPF schemes and ORSO registered schemes will take effect on 1 January 2020. Therefore, holders of all new MPF and ORSO accounts opened on or after 1 January 2020 will be required to submit a self-certification to verify their tax residency. Otherwise, the account opening process will be adversely affected and could not be completed.
As a reporting financial institution, BCT will comply with the due diligence and reporting obligations relating to the AEOI. To facilitate you to learn the details of the new arrangement, please view the quick guide "AEOI in Tax Matters and How It May Impact You". You can also go to our dedicated AEOI webpage for more details.
Identify Your Investor Type – Before making any investment decisions, you can complete the risk assessment questionnaire and check your risk tolerance level, according to your retirement goal, income, age and risk appetite.
"BCT iPortfolio" Provides You with Investment Reference – Upon completing the risk assessment questionnaire, “BCT iPortfolio” will show model portfolios suited to investors of different risk levels, to help you make informed investment decisions.
Review Portfolio Regularly – Do the risk assessment questionnaire every year, or when you move to a different life stage, and adjust asset allocation as necessary. If you are a BCT member, you can log into your account and save the assessment result. The system will remind you to do the assessment every year automatically. This makes portfolio review and asset allocation more flexible and easier.
