REPORT OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGER
Annual Report As at 31st December 2019 2019 Global Market Review – Consolidated Manager Report United States Following a difficult 2018, 2019 proved to be a strong year for US equities, which meaningfully outperformed global equities as a whole. Bouts of volatility related to the US-China trade dispute and a slowdown in manufacturing activity held back sentiment intermittently. However, the economic outlook brightened as a trade truce between the US and China seemed increasingly likely, which led to record-breaking advances across major market indices. US President Donald Trump said he would sign a phase-one trade deal with China on January 15, effectively compelling both sides to stop adding to the economic damage they have sustained from the imposition of tariffs. An accommodative monetary policy stance by the US Federal Reserve (Fed) also supported market performance. The central bank implemented rate cuts at its July, September and October meetings. Interestingly, for the first time in over a decade, all the world’s major economic regions were in the throes of an easing monetary policy, with neutral to positive fiscal policy settings across the board. Overall, the US consumer remains a resilient anchor for growth in the region and is becoming increasingly correlated to the state of the economy. Black Friday and Cyber Monday are expected to be the centre of online sales for the holidays, with an estimated growth rate of close to 4% this year. Meanwhile, US politics was in the limelight in December given impeachment proceedings against Trump. The impact on the market was muted, though, as the majority consensus is that Trump will not be impeached by the Senate. In general, all 11 GICS sectors generated positive returns over the year, with sizeable outperformance from information technology (IT) stocks and notably weaker performance from energy. All major style indices benefited during the period, albeit with sizeable outperformance from growth and quality names. Europe European equites rose strongly in 2019, producing the best annual return of the last decade. Performance was broadly driven by the accommodative monetary policy stance adopted by most major global central banks and improving geopolitical conditions towards the end of the year. After the sharp fall in equities in the fourth quarter of 2018, the first four months of 2019 witnessed a strong rebound. Investor sentiment was supported by indications of monetary policy easing from the European Central Bank (ECB) and the US Fed. There was some volatility in the middle of the year, driven by weakening global economic data, uncertainty related to the UK’s exit from the European Union (EU), FY19 corporate earnings downgrades and ongoing trade tensions between the US and China. However, some of these fears reduced towards the end of the year on news of a ‘phase-one’ US-China trade deal, and reduced political uncertainty following the convincing majority secured by the Conservative Party in the UK general election. All sectors ended in positive territory, with IT and industrials among the biggest gainers. Japan Japanese equities rose strongly over the 12-month period, supported by a significant rally in the second half of the year. Signs of easing tensions between the US and China and an accommodative monetary policy stance by global central banks supported investor sentiment. Strength in US economic indicators and record highs for US equity indices in the later part of the year provided additional tailwinds. Market gains were also supported by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s announcement of a large fiscal stimulus package in early December to help the Japanese economy overcome the aftermath of recent natural disasters. Corporate earnings held up relatively well, supported by the non-manufacturing sector, which helped to partially offset the negative impact of weak external demand. From a sector perspective, technology, health care and communication services were the biggest gainers, while utilities was the only sector to record negative returns.

REPORT OF THE INVESTMENT MANAGER 2019 Global Market Review – Consolidated Manager Report (Continued) Pacific ex Japan Asia Pacific ex Japan equities delivered strong performance in 2019. Uncertainty around progress on US-China trade talks dominated sentiment over the period. Nevertheless, investor confidence improved towards the end of the period amid monetary policy easing around the globe and optimism around the resumption of US-China trade talks. In key developments, both countries agreed on a ‘phase one’ trade deal that is likely to be signed in January 2020, easing tensions over their 18-month trade war that unnerved financial markets and hurt global economic sentiment. Chinese and Hong Kong equities advanced, primarily driven by growth stocks. Against the backdrop of slowing global economic activity and declining interest rates, investors were keen to find areas of growth, which led to high valuation levels for growth stocks. Chinese policymakers also maintained a pro-growth momentum, and various fiscal and monetary stimulus measures implemented through the year boosted domestic consumption and bolstered business confidence. However, shifting dynamics of US-China trade tensions and weaker domestic demand weighed on the Chinese economy, which grew at its slowest pace in nearly three decades in the third quarter. Taiwanese equities attracted investor interest amid advances in the IT sector. The Taiwanese technology rally was fuelled by an incrementally positive outlook for major technology companies that are exposed to fifth generation (5G) applications. Stock markets gained in Korea towards the end of the year, amid improved sentiment towards the memory chip market. Stock markets in Australia also posted robust returns. Meanwhile, Indian equities underperformed the broader market due to concerns over weak macroeconomic data. All sectors ended the year in positive territory. Of note, IT, consumer discretionary and real estate stocks led gains. Bonds Fixed income markets posted positive returns over a year that was characterised by a changing monetary policy regime as investors grew increasingly concerned over the health of the global economy. Government bond yields slumped to record lows, many of them below zero, as central banks across the world adopted a cautious monetary policy stance, reflecting a combination of weak economic data, tepid inflation forecasts, continued uncertainty over US-China trade negotiations and concerns that the UK may exit the EU without a trade deal. The US Fed cut its interest rate three times by 0.25% each in 2019. Consequently, the 10-year US Treasury yield posted its biggest decline in eight years. However, recessionary fears started to fade and US Treasury yields ended the year higher amid easing concerns over the US-China trade war and as Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party won the general election. The result boosted hopes that the UK will be able to win approval for a draft deal to leave the EU by the extended deadline of 31 January 2020. In credit markets, corporate bond spreads tightened amid investors’ search for yields. Emerging market bonds had a good year, with all three major sub-asset classes posting positive double-digit returns. Lower US Treasury yields along with tighter sovereign and corporate spreads supported hard currency returns. _______________________________________ Director of the Investment Manager For and behalf of FIL Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited 23rd June 2020

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median for the 1 year, 5 years and 10 years terms. The fund generated positive returns in 2019. Selected high-quality information technology and health care stocks contributed to the performance, while some of the gains have been offset by the poor performance of certain stocks in the China market. The position in a leading data services provider for artificial intelligence
in Australia has gained as the company’s management has upgraded its profit guidance, supported by its strong execution track record.
The holding in a semiconductor manufacturer has advanced as an improvement in its product mix, component cost declines and efficient cost controls resulted in upbeat earnings.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median for the 1 year, 5 years and 10 years terms. The fund generated positive returns in 2019, primarily due to the strong performance of the equity segment. Global financial markets performed strongly, supported by the accommodative monetary policy stance adopted by most major global central banks. Investor sentiment improved further towards the end of the year as the US and China agreed to a “phase one” trade deal and as election results in the UK raised hopes for a smooth exit from the European Union. However, headwinds surrounding the global economy kept markets volatile. Given this backdrop, the underlying holdings in American, Hong Kong and European equity strategies added significant value. The allocation to Japan and other Asia Pacific equity markets also supported performance. Additionally, the exposure to bonds enhanced gains.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median in 1 year, 5 years and 10 years terms. The fund generated positive returns in 2019 which was contributed by the performance of the stock selection: Share price of a high-end baijiu maker rose on optimism towards its
earnings outlook, supported by price hikes, an enhanced product mix and growth in sales volumes.
Share price of an e-commerce giant also advanced due to robust e-commerce sales momentum from its strong platform power, efficiency gains in its ecosystem and potential margin expansion in its new retail business are likely to buoy its profitability.
Position on a sportswear brand manufacturer also gained as the robust performance of its wholesale and e-commerce segments should enhance its profitability. Productivity gains and better operating leverage in its retail segment are further expected to support its earnings growth momentum.
Price of an integrated oilfield services provider also rose on expectations of higher utilisation levels at its drilling segment and new product launches in its well services segment.
Price of a construction equipment manufacturer gained in light of strength in its concrete machinery, truck crane, tower crane and excavator segments.
The positive returns was partially offset by the poor performance of a Chinese train manufacturer which share price fell amid concerns over subdued locomotive demand, increased warranty provisions and limited earnings contribution from its insulated-gate bipolar transistor business.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median in 1 year term. The fund generated positive returns in 2019. Stable coupon income and term structure positioning supported performance. Specifically, coupon income from offshore renminbi denominated bonds enhanced gains. However, unfavourable currency movements weighed on returns. The offshore renminbi depreciated against the Hong Kong dollar, the fund’s reporting currency, which weighed on returns. At a sector level, the allocation to quasi-sovereign bonds and banks and brokers added value. From a credit perspective, the exposure to an Indian company and Chinese government bonds contributed the most to returns. The fund’s offshore renminbi and US dollar duration positioning supported performance. Across the rating spectrum, the allocation to BBB rated bonds added the most value.

Position on a sportswear brand manufacturer also gained as the robust performance of its wholesale and e-commerce segments should enhance its profitability. Productivity gains and better operating leverage in its retail segment are further expected to support its earnings growth momentum.
Price of an integrated oilfield services provider also rose on expectations of higher utilisation levels at its drilling segment and new product launches in its well services segment.
Price of a construction equipment manufacturer gained in light of strength in its concrete machinery, truck crane, tower crane and excavator segments.
The positive returns was partially offset by the poor performance of a Chinese train manufacturer which share price fell amid concerns over subdued locomotive demand, increased warranty provisions and limited earnings contribution from its insulated-gate bipolar transistor business.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median in 1 year term. The fund generated positive returns in 2019. Stable coupon income and term structure positioning supported performance. Specifically, coupon income from offshore renminbi denominated bonds enhanced gains. However, unfavourable currency movements weighed on returns. The offshore renminbi depreciated against the Hong Kong dollar, the fund’s reporting currency, which weighed on returns. At a sector level, the allocation to quasi-sovereign bonds and banks and brokers added value. From a credit perspective, the exposure to an Indian company and Chinese government bonds contributed the most to returns. The fund’s offshore renminbi and US dollar duration positioning supported performance. Across the rating spectrum, the allocation to BBB rated bonds added the most value.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has outperformed the market median in 1 year, 5 years and 10 years terms The fund generated positive returns in 2019, primarily due to the strong performance of the equity segment. Global financial markets performed strongly, supported by the accommodative monetary policy stance adopted by most major global central banks. Investor sentiment improved further towards the end of the year as the US and China agreed to a “phase one” trade deal and as election results in the UK raised hopes for a smooth exit from the European Union. However, headwinds surrounding the global economy kept markets volatile. Given this backdrop, the underlying holdings in American, Hong Kong and European equity strategies added significant value. The allocation to Japan and other Asia Pacific equity markets also supported performance. Additionally, the exposure to bonds enhanced gains.

Trustee’s commentary The fund has underperformed the market median in 1 year term and has outperformed the market median in 5 years and 10 years terms. The fund posted positive returns in 2019. Interest rate risk exposure supported performance as core government bond yields fell to record lows in 2019. Against this backdrop, the skew towards US dollar duration (a measure of sensitivity to interest rate changes) was the most significant contributor to returns. The fund’s credit strategy also supported performance amid the broad-based tightening of global credit spreads as investors searched for yields. Global central banks adopted an accommodative monetary policy stance in response to deteriorating growth prospects, resulting in global government bond yields touching record lows. Consequently, the exposure to investment grade bonds benefited from positive correlation to rates and diminishing concerns regarding the fallen angel (bonds that were previously investment grade but have since been reduced to high yield status) cycle. The exposure to the consumer cyclicals, non-cyclicals and financials sectors added value.

B. Supporting information in relation to trustee’s assessment framework for deriving its commentary and trustee’s
action, if any, to address its concerns raised in its commentary in Section A
There is an Investment Committee in place to review the investment performance of the funds on a regular basis. The Investment Committee is a sub-committee of the Board of HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia) Limited where it is chaired by an independent director. The investment performance was being monitored and explanations will be obtained from managers if necessary. During the year ended 2019, all of the funds delivered positive returns. While some of the funds have under-performed the market median, most of the funds have out-performed the market median. Based on the performance of the funds, no change on the structure of the funds would be necessary. HTHK will continuously monitor the performance of the funds and will take proper action when necessary. Note 1: The annualized returns and the benchmark returns are obtained from the Willis Towers Watson MPF Performance Book. Note 2: No benchmark information was provided in the Willis Towers Watson MPF Performance Book. Note 3: For the constituent funds under the Default Investment Strategy that is, the Core Accumulation Fund and the Age 65 Plus Fund, the benchmark represented the performance of the Reference Portfolio. For the SaveEasy Fund series, the benchmarks were provided by Wills Towers Watson. For the remaining constituent funds, the information represented the performance of the market median provided by Wills Towers Watson.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF FIDELITY RETIREMENT MASTER TRUST (THE “SCHEME”) Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements Opinion What we have audited The financial statements of the Scheme and Age 65 Plus Fund, Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, Capital Stable Fund, Core Accumulation Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2020 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2025 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2030 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2035 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2040 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2045 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2050 Fund, Global Equity Fund, Growth Fund, Hong Kong Bond Fund, Hong Kong Equity Fund, RMB Bond Fund, Stable Growth Fund, MPF Conservative Fund, World Bond Fund and Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund (each a separate constituent fund of the Scheme and referred to individually or collectively as the “constituent funds”) set out on pages 50 to 173, which comprise: the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Scheme and the Statement of
Net Assets of each of its constituent funds as at 31st December 2019;
the Statement of Comprehensive Income of each of the constituent funds and for the year then ended;
the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Scheme and the Statement of Changes in Equity of each of the constituent funds for the year then ended;
the Statement of Cash Flows of the Scheme and each of the constituent funds for the year then ended; and
the notes to the financial statements, which include a summary of significant accounting
policies. Our opinion In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Scheme and each of its constituent funds as at 31st December 2019, and of their financial transactions and cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards ("HKFRSs") issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants ("HKICPA"). Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with Hong Kong Standards on Auditing ("HKSAs") and with reference to Practice Note 860.1 (Revised), “The Audit of Retirement Schemes” issued by the HKICPA. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Independence We are independent of the Scheme and each of its constituent funds in accordance with the HKICPA's Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (the “Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF FIDELITY RETIREMENT MASTER TRUST (THE “SCHEME”) (CONTINUED) Other Information The Trustee is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information included in the annual report other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon. In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard. Responsibilities of the Trustee for the Financial Statements The Trustee is responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with HKFRSs issued by the HKICPA, and for such internal control as the Trustee determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, the Trustee is responsible for assessing the Scheme’s and each of its constituent funds’ ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustee either intends to liquidate the Scheme and its constituent funds or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. In addition, the Trustee is required to ensure that the financial statements have been properly prepared in accordance with sections 80, 81, 83 and 84 of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes (General) Regulation (the "General Regulation").

48
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT TO THE TRUSTEE OF FIDELITY RETIREMENT MASTER TRUST (THE “SCHEME”) (CONTINUED) Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. We report our opinion solely to you, as a body, in accordance with section 102 of the General Regulation, and for no other purpose. We do not assume responsibility towards or accept liability to any other person for the contents of this report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with HKSAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. In addition, we are required to assess whether the financial statements of the Scheme and each of its constituent funds have been properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with sections 80, 81, 83 and 84 of the General Regulation. As part of an audit in accordance with HKSAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether
due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Scheme's and its constituent funds’ internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of
accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Trustee.
Conclude on the appropriateness of the Trustee's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Scheme's and its constituent funds’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Scheme and its constituent funds to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Trustee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1 The Scheme
Fidelity Retirement Master Trust (the “Scheme”) is established and governed by its Trust Deed dated 31st January 2000, as amended. The Scheme is registered under Section 21 of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Ordinance (the “Ordinance”) and is required to comply with the Ordinance and the relevant regulations, guidelines and codes issued by the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes Authority (“MPFA”). The Scheme invests in, Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Balanced Fund, MPF Conservative Fund, Capital Stable Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2020 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2025 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2030 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2035 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2040 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2045 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2050 Fund, Global Equity Fund, Growth Fund, Hong Kong Bond Fund, Hong Kong Equity Fund, RMB Bond Fund, Stable Growth Fund, World Bond Fund, Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund, Core Accumulation Fund and Age 65 Plus Fund (each a separate constituent fund of the Scheme and referred to individually or collectively as the “constituent funds”) as at 31st December 2019 and 2018. Each of the constituent funds is approved by the MPFA and has its own investment policy and predetermined fees and charges. Contributions and benefits are dealt with at the scheme level whereas investments in approved pooled investment funds and listed unit trusts dealt with at the constituent funds level. Two new constituent funds were introduced in 2017, namely Core Accumulation Fund and Age 65 Plus Fund, with effect on 1st April 2017 in relation to the Default Investment Scheme (the “DIS”), a new initiative by MPFA to aim to offer standardised and low fee investment solution to scheme members. In accordance with the Ordinance, the payments charged to the DIS constituent funds are disclosed in note 14. These financial information are in respect of the Scheme and its 21 constituent funds, which comprises (i) the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits as at 31st December 2019, and the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31st December 2019 of the Scheme on a standalone basis; and (ii) the Statement of Net Assets as at 31st December 2019, and the Statement of Comprehensive Income, Statement of Changes in Equity and Statement of Cash Flows for the year ended 31st December 2019 of each of its constituent funds.
2 Summary of significant accounting policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of financial statements of the Scheme and its constituent funds are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated.
(a) Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Hong Kong Financial Reporting Standards (“HKFRS”) issued by the Hong Kong Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention, as modified by the revaluation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
FIDELITY RETIREMENT MASTER TRUST YEAR ENDED 31ST DECEMBER 2019
87
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) (a) Basis of preparation (Continued)
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with HKFRS requires the Trustee to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expense. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. All references to net assets throughout the financial statements refer to net assets attributable to members unless otherwise stated. All the assets and liabilities are held for the purpose of being traded or are expected to be realised within one year. Standards and amendments to existing standards effective 1st January 2019 There are no standards, amendment to standards or interpretations that are effective for annual periods beginning on 1st January 2019 that have a material effect on the financial statements of the Scheme and each of its constituent funds. New standards, amendments and interpretations effective after 1st January 2019 and have not been early adopted A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual periods beginning after 1st January 2019, and have not been early adopted in preparing these financial statements. None of these are expected to have a material effect on the financial statements of the Scheme and each of its constituent funds.
(b) Foreign currency translation
(i) Functional and presentation currency
Items included in the financial statements of the Scheme and its constituent funds are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate (the “functional currency”). This is the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”). The Scheme and its constituent funds have adopted the HKD as their presentation currency.
(ii) Transaction and balances
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Foreign currency assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate prevailing at year end date. Foreign exchange gains and losses arising from translation are included in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the Scheme and the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the constituent funds. Foreign exchange gains and losses relating to cash and cash equivalents are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits for the Scheme and the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the constituent funds within “Net foreign currency gains/(losses)”.

If a member ceases to be a member, the part of the employer’s voluntary balance not otherwise disposed of in accordance with the rules of the Scheme may be applied in reducing the future contributions of the employer, or in such other manner as the Trustee may determine, having consulted the employers (including payment to the employers). Forfeitures arising from such cases which have not been designated for the benefit of existing members and which have not been returned to the employers would be treated as liabilities of the Scheme.
(j) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash at bank, bank deposits with original maturities of 3 months or less from the date of placement net of bank overdrafts, if any.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued)
(k) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
(i) Classification
Assets The Scheme and its constituent funds classifies its investments based on both the Scheme and its constituent funds’ business model for managing those financial assets and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The portfolio of financial assets is managed and performance is evaluated on a fair value basis. The Scheme and its constituent funds are primarily focused on fair value information and uses that information to assess the assets’ performance and to make decisions. The Scheme and its constituent funds have not taken the option to irrevocably designate any equity securities as fair value through other comprehensive income. The contractual cash flows of the Scheme and its constituent funds debt securities are solely principal and interest, however, these securities are neither held for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flows nor held both for collecting contractual cash flows and for sale. The collection of contractual cash flows is only incidental to achieving the Scheme and its constituent funds’ business model’s objective. Consequently, all investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Scheme and each of its constituent funds’ policy requires the Investment Manager and the Trustee to evaluate the information about these financial assets and liabilities on a fair value basis together with other related financial information.
(ii) Recognition, derecognition and measurement
Regular purchases and sales of investments are recognised on the trade date - the date on which the Scheme and its constituent funds commit to purchase or sell the investment. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value, excluding transaction costs which are expensed as incurred.
Financial assets are derecognised when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Scheme and its constituent funds have transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership. Subsequent to initial recognition, all financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Gains and losses arising from changes in the fair value of the “Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” category are presented in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits of the Scheme within “Net realised gains/(losses) on redemption of units in constituent funds” and “Change in unrealised gains/losses in value of constituent funds”; and in the Statement of Comprehensive Income of the constituent funds within “Change in unrealised gains/losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” and “Realised gains/(losses) on sales of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss” in the period in which they arise.

(iii) Fair value estimation
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Investments in constituent funds are valued at their respective closing net asset value per unit.
Investments in approved pooled investment funds and listed unit trusts are valued at their respective last traded prices as provided by the administrators of such funds. Where last traded prices were not available, investments in approved pooled investment funds and listed unit trusts are valued at their closing net assets value per unit as provided by the administrators of such funds.
(iv) Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy Transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy are deemed to have occurred at the beginning of the reporting period.
(l) Amounts receivable on sales of investments/payable on purchases of investments
Amounts receivable on sales of investments/payable on purchases of investments represent receivables for investments sold and payables for investments purchased that have been contracted for but not yet settled or delivered on the year end date respectively. Amounts receivable on sales of investments balance is held for collection. These amounts are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the constituent funds shall measure the loss allowance on amounts receivable on sale of investments at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. If, at the reporting date, the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the constituent funds shall measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses. Significant financial difficulties of the broker, probability that the broker will enter bankruptcy or financial reorganisation, and default in payments are all considered indicators that a loss allowance may be required. If the credit risk increases to the point that it is considered to be credit impaired, interest income will be calculated based on the gross carrying amount adjusted for the loss allowance. A significant increase in credit risk is defined by management as any contractual payment which is more than 30 days past due. Any contractual payment which is more than 90 days past due is considered credit impaired.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2 Summary of significant accounting policies (Continued) (m) Accrued expenses
Accrued expenses are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
(n) Other receivables
Other receivables are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment.
(o) Proceeds and payments on subscription and redemption of units
Proceeds and payments on subscription and redemption of units are shown as movements in the Statement of Changes in Equity of the respective constituent funds. The net asset value of the constituent funds is computed on each business day. Prices for subscriptions and redemptions on each business day are based on the net asset value per unit as at the close of business on the relevant business day.
(p) Structured entities
A structured entity is an entity that has been designed so that voting or similar rights are not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity, such as when any voting rights relate to administrative tasks only and the relevant activities are directed by means of contractual arrangements. A structured entity often has some or all of the following features or attributes; (a) restricted activities, (b) a narrow and well-defined objective, such as to provide investment opportunities for investors by passing on risks and rewards associated with the assets of the structured entity to investors, (c) insufficient equity to permit the structured entity to finance its activities without subordinated financial support and (d) financing in the form of multiple contractually linked instruments to investors that create concentrations of credit or other risks (tranches). The constituent funds consider all of their investments in other funds (‘‘underlying funds’’) to be investments in unconsolidated structured entities. The constituent funds invest in underlying funds whose objectives range from achieving medium to long term capital growth and whose investment strategy does not include the use of leverage. The underlying funds are managed by the Investment Manager except for Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund where that is managed by third party managers, and apply various investment strategies to accomplish their respective investment objectives. The underlying funds finance their operations by issuing redeemable units which are puttable at the holder’s option and entitle the holder to a proportional stake in the respective fund’s net assets. The constituent funds hold redeemable units in each of its underlying funds. The change in fair value of each underlying fund is included in the Statement of Comprehensive Income in “Change in unrealised gains/losses on financial assets at fair value through profit or loss”.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4 Financial risk management
Strategy in using financial instruments
The constituent funds’ activities expose them to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including price risk, cash flow and fair value interest rate risk and foreign exchange risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The constituent funds are also exposed to operational risks such as custody risk. Custody risk is the risk of loss of securities held in custody occasioned by the insolvency or negligence of the custodian. Although an appropriate legal framework is in place that eliminates the risk of loss of value of the securities held by the custodian, in the event of its failure, the ability of the constituent funds to transfer securities might be temporarily impaired. The constituent funds’ overall risk management programme seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the constituent funds’ financial performance. The constituent funds may use financial futures contracts, financial options contracts and/or spot/forward exchange contracts subject to the requirements of the Hong Kong Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes (General) Regulation (the “General Regulation”) and the terms of the Trust Deed to moderate certain risk exposures.
The Investment Manager believes that fundamental research can uncover investment opportunities. A bottom up investment process drives investment decision making and portfolio implementation.
Except for Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund, all constituent funds’ assets principally consist of unit trusts that are authorised as Approved Pooled Investment Funds for MPF Schemes. They are held in accordance with the published investment policies of each constituent fund. The allocations of assets between the various types of unit trusts are determined by Investment Manager to achieve their investment objectives. Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund is a feeder fund which invests in a third party fund namely Tracker Fund of Hong Kong (the “TraHK”) which is an approved index tracking fund structured as a unit trust. The investment objectives and policies of the constituent funds have been revised with effect from March 2020, please refer to the latest principal brochure for details. The investment objectives of the constituent funds of the Scheme as at 31st December 2019 are detailed below:
Asia Pacific Equity Fund to act as a feeder fund and invest all of its assets in the Asia Pacific Equity Fund
(MPF) of the Fidelity Global Investment Fund; to focus investment into the equity markets of Asia Pacific; to produce returns that are related to those achieved on the major stock market
indices of Asia Pacific; to have the flexibility to invest in bonds in a limited manner; to manage the volatility of returns in the short-term.
Balanced Fund to act as a feeder fund and invest all of its assets in the Balanced Fund of the Fidelity
Global Investment Fund; to build capital value over the long-term; to provide a degree of asset diversification within a predominantly equity portfolio; to maintain a broad geographic diversification with a bias towards Hong Kong; and to manage the volatility of returns in the short-term.

(a) Market risk
(i) Price risk
Market price risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, whether those changes are caused by factors specific to the individual instrument or factors affecting all instruments in the market.
The constituent funds are subject to market price risk in relation to their investments in the underlying funds, for prices in the future are uncertain. The constituent funds’ market price risk is managed through (i) deliberate investment funds selection and (ii) diversification of the investment portfolio of the underlying funds. The market risks are managed at the underlying fund level. The constituent funds’ investments in underlying funds are subject to the terms and conditions of the respective underlying fund’s offering documents and are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of those underlying funds. The investment manager makes investment decisions after extensive due diligence of the underlying fund and their strategy. The right of the constituent funds to request redemption of their investments in underlying funds is on a daily basis. These investments are included in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss in the Statement of Net Assets.

The Investment Manager has used their view of what would be a “possible reasonable shift” in each key market to estimate the change for use in the market sensitivity analysis above. Disclosures above are shown in absolute terms, changes and impacts could be positive or negative. Changes in market index % are revised annually depending on Investment Manager’s current view of market volatility and other relevant factors. The percentage of possible reasonable shift is based on the actual historical change in the relevant indices in the past 12 months and does not include remote or “worst case” scenarios or “stress tests” nor represent the Investment Manager’s forecast of the constituent funds’ future returns.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4 Financial risk management (Continued) (a) Market risk (Continued) (ii) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises from the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on the fair value of interest-bearing assets and liabilities and future cash flow.
For the Asia Pacific Equity Fund, Hong Kong Equity Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2050 Fund and Fidelity Hong Kong Tracker Fund, the majority of these constituent funds’ financial assets are non-interest bearing, as these constituent funds invest primarily in equity funds. As a result, these constituent funds are not subject to significant amounts of risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. Any excess cash and cash equivalents are invested at short-term market interest rates.
For the Balanced Fund, MPF Conservative Fund, Capital Stable Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2020 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2025 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2030 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2035 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2040 Fund, Fidelity SaveEasy 2045 Fund, Global Equity Fund, Growth Fund, Hong Kong Bond Fund, RMB Bond Fund, Stable Growth Fund, World Bond Fund, Core Accumulation Fund and Age 65 Plus Fund, the financial assets of these constituent funds include investments in bond funds and money funds which are exposed to risk due to fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates. The Scheme and its constituent funds are exposed to risks associated with the effects of fluctuations in the prevailing levels of market interest rates on their cash deposits. However, this is relatively immaterial to the size of the net assets of the Scheme and its constituent funds.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
4 Financial risk management (Continued)
(a) Market risk (Continued)
(iii) Foreign exchange risk
The Scheme and its constituent funds hold assets which are mainly denominated in HKD, the functional currency. As such, there is no currency risk at the Scheme and its constituent fund level.
(b) Credit and counterparty risk
Credit risk is the risk that an issuer or counterparty will be unable or unwilling to meet a commitment that it has entered into with the Scheme and its constituent funds.
The financial assets of the Scheme and its constituent funds which are potentially subject to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of bank deposits and assets held with the custodian. As at 31st December 2019, the safe keeping of the investments of the Scheme and its constituent funds is the responsibility of the Trustee. The Scheme and its constituent funds placed bank deposits with The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the holding company of the Trustee. The credit rating for the Trustee and the bank is A-1+ (2018: A-1+) assigned by Standard and Poor’s.
The underlying investment funds of the constituent funds also hold debt securities and are therefore exposed to risk that the issuers may not be able to repay the principal amount at maturity and interest. This risk is mitigated as the debt securities held are subject to the requirements of (i) minimum credit rating, (ii) maximum holding of 10% of net asset value for any single issuer other than an exempt authority as defined in section 7(1) of Schedule 1 to the Mandatory Provident Fund Schemes (General) Regulation ("Exempt Authority"), and/or (iii) maximum holding of 30% of net asset value for any single issuer that is an Exempt Authority (or unconditionally guaranteed by an Exempt Authority).

The Investment Manager has a dedicated Counterparty Research Group (“CRG”) which is responsible for conducting fundamental due diligence on all banks and brokers with which the Scheme trades. CRG performs due diligence, which frequently includes onsite meetings with senior management, financial statement modelling, publishing of formal written research notes and ratings, and monitoring of news flow. It also requires that, with exception, all securities transactions be executed with counterparties which are on the “Approved Trading Counterparty List” which has been formulated internally by the Investment Manager through analysis of independent fundamental credit reviews of all counterparties.
All transactions in quoted securities are settled/paid for upon delivery using approved brokers. The probable loss in the event of default is considered minimal, since nearly all delivery of securities sold is only made when the broker has received payment. Payment is made on a purchase when the securities have been received by the broker. The trade will fail if either party fails to meet its obligation.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4 Financial risk management (Continued) (b) Credit and counterparty risk (Continued)
The constituent funds limit their exposure to credit risk by transacting the majority of their investments and contractual commitment activities with broker-dealers, banks and regulated exchanges with acceptable credit ratings for such instruments and that the constituent funds consider to be well established. The Investment Manager monitors the constituent funds’ credit position on a daily basis and these are reviewed on a quarterly basis by a risk oversight committee.
The Scheme and each of its constituent funds measure credit risk and expected credit losses using probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default. Management consider both historical analysis and forward looking information in determining any expected credit loss. The maximum exposure to credit risk at year end is the carrying amount of the financial assets as shown on the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits for the Scheme and the Statement of Net Assets for each of the constituent funds.
At 31st December 2019 and 2018, amounts receivable on sales of investments, cash and cash equivalents are due to be settled within 1 month. Investment Management consider the probability of default to be close to zero as the counterparties have a strong capacity to meet their contractual obligations in the near term. As a result, no loss allowance has been recognised as any such impairment would be insignificant to the Scheme and each of its constituent funds.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Scheme and its constituent funds may not be able to generate sufficient cash resources to settle their obligations in full as they fall due or can only do so on terms that are materially disadvantageous.
The constituent funds are exposed to daily cash redemptions of units in the constituent funds. The constituent funds invest the majority of their assets in underlying approved pooled investment funds that are traded in an active market and can be readily disposed of. Other investments which are neither listed nor quoted are restricted to a maximum of 15% of the net asset value of the respective constituent funds.
If the Investment Manager received aggregate request for the redemption of units more than 10% of the net asset value of the respective constituent funds, on any redemption date, the Investment Manager may elect to restrict the redemption to 10% of the net asset value. In this case all requests will be scaled down on a pro-rata basis to ensure redemptions remain below 10%. The remaining balance will be redeemed in priority to subsequent redemption requests on the next redemption day. This procedure is in place to manage liquidity risk in the constituent funds and to protect the interests of the remaining members. The Investment Manager did not restrict any redemptions during 2019 and 2018. The table below assumes no use of the 10% redemption restriction.
The Investment Manager monitors the constituent funds’ liquidity position on a daily basis, and reviewed on a quarterly basis by a risk oversight committee.

The constituent funds limit their exposure to credit risk by transacting the majority of their investments and contractual commitment activities with broker-dealers, banks and regulated exchanges with acceptable credit ratings for such instruments and that the constituent funds consider to be well established. The Investment Manager monitors the constituent funds’ credit position on a daily basis and these are reviewed on a quarterly basis by a risk oversight committee.
The Scheme and each of its constituent funds measure credit risk and expected credit losses using probability of default, exposure at default and loss given default.

(d) Fair value estimation
The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in active markets (such as trading securities) are based on quoted market prices at the close of trading on the year end date. The constituent funds utilise the last traded market price as their fair valuation inputs for both financial assets and financial liabilities. An active market is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A financial instrument is regarded as quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service, or regulatory agency, and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transaction on an arm’s length basis.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 4 Financial risk management (Continued)
(d) Fair value estimation (Continued)
The carrying value less impairment provision of other receivables and payables are assumed to approximate their fair values. The fair value of financial liabilities for disclosure purposes is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate that is available to the constituent funds for similar financial instruments. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (level 1).
Inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) (level 2).
Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (that is, unobservable inputs) (level 3).
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. For this purpose, the significance of an input is assessed against the fair value measurement in its entirety. If a fair value measurement uses observable inputs that require significant adjustment based on unobservable inputs, that measurement is a level 3 measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgement, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.
The determination of what constitutes ‘observable’ requires significant judgement by the constituent funds. The constituent funds consider observable data to be that market data that is readily available, regularly distributed or updated, reliable and verifiable, not proprietary, and provided by independent sources that are actively involved in the relevant market.
The carrying amount of all investments held by the Scheme and its constituent funds are based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore classified as level 1 investments, which include approved pooled investment funds and listed unit trusts. The Scheme and its constituent funds do not adjust the quoted price for these instruments. Financial instruments that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs are classified within level 2. As of 31st December 2019, and 2018 the Scheme and its constituent funds did not hold any investments classified in level 2.

Investments classified within level 3 have significant unobservable inputs, as they trade infrequently. As of 31st December 2019, the constituent funds did not hold any investments classified in level 3 (2018: Nil). As at 31st December 2019 and 2018, there were no transfers between levels of investments held by the constituent funds. The assets and liabilities of the constituent funds in the Statement of Net Assets excluding financial assets at fair value through profit or loss at 31st December 2019, are carried at amortised cost; their carrying values are a reasonable approximation of fair value.
(e) Capital risk management
The capital of the constituent funds is represented by the units in the constituent funds, and shown as net assets attributable to members in the Statement of Net Assets. The amount of net assets attributable to members for each constituent fund can change significantly on a daily basis as the constituent funds are subject to daily subscriptions and redemptions at the discretion of members. Subscriptions and redemptions of units during the year are shown in the Statement of Changes in Equity. The constituent funds’ objective when managing capital is to safeguard their ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide retirement benefits to members and benefits for other stakeholders and to maintain a strong capital base to support the development of the investment activities of the constituent funds.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the policy of the constituent funds is to perform the following: - monitor the level of daily subscriptions and redemptions relative to the liquid assets;
and - redeem and issue units in accordance with the trust deed of the Scheme. The Trustee and Investment Manager monitor capital on the basis of the value of net assets attributable to members.

Basis of calculation and assumptions used
1. Average Net Asset Value (NAV) is the sum of the NAV of the Sub-Funds at the pricing points
divided by the number of pricing points. The NAV at each pricing point is directly extracted
from the accounting and valuation system used by HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia)
Limited.
2. Pricing point represents a valuation date, which for the purpose of this FER calculation is the
last day of each month for the Sub-Funds.
3. The Fund Expense Ratio (FER) for each sub-fund has been calculated to two decimal places.
FER = Consolidated Total Expenses/Average Net Asset Value
4. Consolidated total expenses exclude any transaction costs involved in the purchase and sale
of investments.
5. Pursuant to the MPFA Circular letter dated 1 November 2019, an investment in a listed REIT
may be treated in the same way as an investment in shares of a listed company. Thus,
effective 1 November 2019, the expenses incurred by a listed REIT is not required to be
applied when calculating the fund expense ratio (FER). This change in treatment of listed
REIT may result in a reduction in the FER calculated in current year as compared with the
FER calculated in last year.
