SUCCESSFUL TIME TESTED RATINGS
Australia – Superannuation Ratings
Pre-Superannuation Ratings
The Australian superannuation (currently a usd$2.7 trillion) industry was already established but …
Very little media coverage of superannuation, publicly available information and analysis, comparators, performance tables or superannuation fund reporting.
Limited sources for superannuation fund comparisons which made it a challenging decision-making process for employers and consumers.
Introduction of Superannuation Ratings
Superannuation Ratings introduced a new level of transparency, independent research and benchmarking to the Australian superannuation sector, enhancing competition and focusing on fund performance, fees, and member value.
This provided a valuable tool for evaluating superannuation funds, benefiting organisations and over 24+ million members seeking to understand the strengths and weaknesses of different superannuation funds.
Post-Superannuation Ratings Impact
Superannuation Ratings have grown to be recognised as a leading research, consulting and ratings benchmark in the superannuation industry.

Hong Kong – MPF Pension Ratings
Pre-MPF Pension Ratings
The Hong Kong Mandatory Pension Fund (MPF) currently a HKD$1.3 trillion industry was already established but …
Very limited transparency, almost no competition, lack focus on performance, few tools for evaluation, basic retirement protection for Hong Kong’s workforce, limited fund choices, higher fees, limited member engagement and simple paper-based administration.
Introduction of MPF Pension Ratings
Introduction of MPF Pension Ratings in 2010 brought increased transparency, healthy competition and accountability, accessibility to a more structured evaluation of pension schemes and resulted in regulatory adjustments and new compliance policies. MPF Pension Ratings quickly established itself as the market leader in supporting the maximisation of Hong Kong’s retirement savings. Pioneered the benchmarking for evaluating MPF schemes with MPF Pension Ratings' Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, which is now the industry standard in Hong Kong.
Post-MPF Pension Ratings Impact

improved performance tracking with "value for money" framework resulting in increased diversification in investment and regulatory changes.
The introduction of the eMPF platform in 2023 which is expected to reduce scheme administration fees for members, streamlined admin processes and paved the way for future reforms.
