GUM released the performance of the Trillions of MPF in Hong Kong for August today. In August 2025, the "GUM Trillions of MPF Composite Index" rose by 1.6% to 274.4 points. The average earnings per person for Trillions of MPF in August was 4714 Hong Kong dollars, while the average earnings per person from the beginning of the year until now were 32,416 Hong Kong dollars. Chen Ruilong, Executive Director of GUM, pointed out that all Trillions of MPF funds have been profitable for members from the beginning of the year until now, with funds such as Hong Kong stocks and Greater China funds generating the highest returns for members. The recent revival of trading in the A-share market has led to an increase in the number of new accounts opened in August by many securities firms, making the "Greater China Stock Fund" the top performer in August. On the other hand, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly revised down the employment data for May and June, leading to a sharp increase in market expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September. In addition, the steady performance of the S&P 500 in the second quarter has maintained the upward momentum of the US stock market in August. With most of the global tariff negotiations settled, it is expected that market focus will gradually return to fundamentals, and members should pay attention to long-term economic indicators and market valuations. Regarding asset allocation, Yun Tianhui, Director of Strategy and Investment Analysis at GUM, pointed out that the market's expectations of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September have benefited bond funds, and members with a preference for low-risk investments can allocate a moderate amount to potentially gain returns.
