Remarks:

1. Calculation period of the above average cumulative returns is from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021. Fund performance is calculated on a Hong Kong dollar-denominated NAV-to-NAV basis. The performance ranking is based on the comparison of simple average returns of all MPF constituent funds on MPF provider level (excluding funds launched less than one year), and does not represent the rankings of returns of all constituent funds under AIA’s MPF Scheme (“overall MPF funds”) in their respective fund categories. The average returns of AIA’s overall MPF funds in the past 5 calendar years and year-to-date (as at 28 February 2022) are: 19.94% (2017), -8.18% (2018), 13.99% (2019), 11.02% (2020), 4.38% (2021) and -4.87% (year-to-date as at 28 February 2022).

The calculation of aggregate cumulative return of the relevant members during the Calculation Period is calculated as follows: (X – Y) / Y . Where (X) is referring to the sum of account balance as at the end of the period and total amount withdrawn during the period; (Y) is referring to the sum of account balance as at the beginning of the period, total contributions and transfer-in assets during the period . The average AUM of relevant member accounts is calculated by averaging their annual average balances during the calculation period. The average cumulative return weighted by AUM of all relevant members accounts during the period is calculated by cumulative returns of all relevant member accounts during the period weighted by average AUM of relevant member accounts during the period.
