Chairman's Message (2026–2027)

I am extremely honoured to serve as the Chairman of the Hong Kong Retirement Schemes Association (HKRSA) Executive Committee. I am deeply grateful to our predecessors and contributors whose leadership has built the strong foundation on which the HKRSA continues to grow.

This year is a meaningful milestone for Hong Kong’s retirement landscape. We celebrate the 25th anniversary of the MPF system and the 30th anniversary of the HKRSA, both marking decades of collective effort to strengthen retirement protection for our city. We also enter a new chapter with the full operational launch of the eMPF Platform, a major step forward in modernizing administration, enhancing transparency, and enabling greater digital innovation across the system.

As Hong Kong continues to navigate the challenges of an ageing population, evolving healthcare needs, and the diverse expectations of retirees and soon‑to‑be retirees, the HKRSA remains committed to supporting a resilient and future‑ready retirement framework. Guided by our core pillars, we will continue to promote best practices, facilitate trusted and neutral dialogue, and provide timely insights while strengthening community connections across the industry.

As Chairman of both the HKRSA and RetireHK, I am encouraged by how RetireHK has broadened public engagement and advanced retirement education through its community‑based programmes. RetireHK’s work complements HKRSA’s policy and industry efforts by strengthening confidence, capability, and connection among retirees and pre‑retirees. As lifestyles evolve and cross‑boundary mobility within the Greater Bay Area becomes more common, we will continue exploring opportunities to support individuals across different life stages and geographies, including through the ongoing development of RetireHK’s district‑based initiatives.

Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to working closely with our members, premier sponsors, policymakers, partners, and stakeholders to build a stronger, more sustainable, and more inclusive retirement future for Hong Kong.

Thank you for your continued support. Alan
