Monthly Investment Plan

Manulife InvestChoice offers Monthly Investment Plan for you to invest in the funds of your choice every month. With a fixed total amount of subscription monies, you would purchase fewer fund units during a market rally, and purchase more units during down cycles, without the need to make a large lump-sum investment upfront. It helps reduce the average cost, manage risks, and save you the trouble of timing the market.

The minimum monthly subscription amount starts at HKD1,000 per class in a fund available to your account with risk level not higher than your risk profile.

Please refer to the fund fees page for details.

Please refer to the detail user guide here.

We will arrange electronic direct debit of the subscription amount from your Designated Bank Account on the 2nd Hong Kong Business Day of each month. The corresponding fund subscription will be made normally on the 7th Hong Kong Business Day of each month.

To change your Designated Bank Account or payment limit, please submit the Change of Record Form.

You will receive an email and SMS alert notifying you of the direct debit failure. Please note that a bank charge might be applied to the direct debit failure subject to the policy of your Designated Bank. The Monthly Investment Plan may be terminated after 3 consecutive direct debit failure.
