Background
MPF Scheme of the Year finalists must be Gold rated by MPF Ratings (MPFR), MPF’s independent provider of research, views and education. Gold-rated schemes are identified as schemes that should deliver the best value for money and by doing so offer MPF members a positive and holistic MPF experience.
At $141.5bn in size as at end of 2024, Sun Life Rainbow MPF Scheme accounts for 11% of MPF’s total assets, making it the system’s 3rd largest MPF scheme.
What Mr MPF says about Sun Life Rainbow MPF Scheme
“MPF’s best value-for-money schemes must cater to a diverse range of needs, and Sun Life’s Rainbow MPF Scheme meets that challenge perfectly.
The scheme offers a comprehensive selection of fund options, including the Sun Life MPF Global Low Carbon Index Fund, which stands out as the most dominant fund in MPF’s Sustainable Investment category. MPF Ratings has identified this fund as unique because it explicitly meets the MPFA’s sustainable investing benchmark and measurable principles. This coupled with Sun Life’s commitment to ‘giving back’ to the community has earned it the title of ‘Best MPF ESG Product’ for 2025. To win Best MPF ESG Product one must demonstrate a deep but also balanced commitment to both investing and ‘giving back’. In short, to be a ‘force for good’.
In addition to its extensive fund offerings and leadership in sustainable investing, the Scheme’s success is underpinned by strong senior management, robust governance, and a commitment to investing in high-quality services and education. These efforts empower and educate both Sun Life’s extensive agency network and MPF members alike.
Sun Life’s dedication to empowerment and education is evident in multiple ways. MPF information is prominently displayed on its website, with mandatory key scheme details presented in a transparent and informative manner. The platform also offers accessible tools like risk assessment and retirement calculators.”
