MPF consultant GUM noted that during April, there were HK$2.16 billion and HK$0.87 billion switching out from "Equity Fund" and "Mixed Asset Fund" respectively. This marks the first instance this year where funds have shifted to "Fixed Income Fund" from "Equity Fund" and "Mixed Asset Fund". Of which, "MPF conservative funds" and "Guaranteed Fund" had a combined switch in of about HK$2.8 billion in April, which reflected an increased risk aversion among MPF members.
