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.

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.
