MPF Analysis

Stable Growth Fund

The Stable Growth Fund (ISIN: HK0000844289) is a Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) constituent fund offered by Fidelity Hong Kong. Categorized as a Mixed Assets Fund, it is designed for members who seek a blend of growth and income with a lower risk profile than pure equity or balanced funds.

Investment Objective

The fund aims to achieve long-term capital growth with a focus on stable income through a diversified portfolio of global bonds and equities. It targets members with a medium-term investment horizon who prefer a more conservative “mixed asset” approach.

Indicative Asset Allocation:

  • Equities: ~40% (Global exposure with focus on stability)
  • Bonds: ~50% (Global investment-grade bonds)
  • Cash: ~10%

With a higher weighting towards bonds than the Balanced Fund (which is ~60% equity), the Stable Growth Fund acts as a more defensive “all-weather” vehicle.

Risk Profile

  • Risk Class: 4 (Low to medium risk/return)
  • Fund Risk Indicator: 12.75% (Annualised standard deviation estimated from historical volatility)

The fund is suitable for members who desire some participation in equity markets but prioritize a significant bond cushion to dampen volatility.

Modern Portfolio Theory Analysis

Based on our analysis of the fund’s historical NAV data:

  • Expected Annual Return: ~0.39% (Annualised return from 2021-2026)
  • Annualised Risk (Std Dev): ~12.75%
  • Sharpe Ratio: -0.32 (Calculated based on a 4.5% risk-free rate)

On the MPF Modern Portfolio Theory chart, the Stable Growth Fund occupies the space between the conservative Capital Stable Fund and the more aggressive Balanced Fund.
