香港的零售基金分銷市場
澳洲的mFund基金分銷平台
(a) | 產品認許︰經mFund平台銷售的基金產品除了須獲得澳洲證券及投資監察委員會批准之外,亦必須根據AQUA規則(AQUA Rules)獲澳洲證券交易所認許,並須遵從若干資料披露要求。6註釋符號代表舉例來說,它們有責任最少每季披露其mFund產品的資產淨值。與此同時,任何其他須向澳洲證券及投資監察委員會或投資者披露的資料,亦須同時向澳洲證券交易所作出披露。請參閱ASX (2014b)。 目前,合資格的基金產品只限於至少有80%投資在速動資產的"簡單式管理基金"(simple managed investment schemes)7註釋符號代表根據mFund網站的資料,mFund產品包括澳洲股票基金、混合資產基金,以至環球股票基金和環球固定收益基金。;
|
(b) | 提供基金產品資訊︰在代表客戶發出電子指示認購基金單位之前,經紀有責任向客戶提供相關的產品披露聲明書。此外,經紀透過mFund平台提交電子指示時,亦須同時提交確認訊息,確定已經向客戶提供最新版本的產品披露聲明書。基金發行人接獲指示後,必須於5個工作天內聯絡有關投資者,確定基金單位的發行,並知會該投資者,其應已收到由經紀提供的產品披露聲明書。倘若基金發行人知悉經紀在發出電子申購指示前,投資者未獲提供產品披露聲明書,便須於10個工作天內向澳洲證券交易所通報;8註釋符號代表請參閱Australian Securities and Investments Commission (2013b)及ASX (2015)。 及
|
(c) | 服務費︰澳洲證券交易所不會向使用mFund平台的投資者收取任何費用,但會向相關參與者收取服務費。相關參與者為(i)透過mFund平台銷售基金產品的基金發行人;(ii)參與mFund的經紀;以及(iii)獲基金發行人委任,透過澳洲證券交易所的結算系統進行交收的參與者。 |
預期效益
(a) | 不用填寫紙本申請表:經mFund渠道申購基金的投資者只需向其經紀發出指示而不用填寫冗長的紙本申請表。經紀在確認客戶收到相關產品披露聲明書後,便會將申購指示發送至mFund平台處理。此方式大大減省文書及繁瑣工作,亦令到交易過程更有效率、透明度更高;
|
(b) | 為基金發行人及投資者提供較低成本的渠道:基金發行人將基金產品放在mFund平台銷售,並向澳洲證券交易所繳付發行人服務費用。由於產品不再經由金融機構分銷(其收取的分銷費用及/或後續費用可能較高),基金發行人應可減省開支。同時,投資者(特別是自主程度較高的投資者)可選擇透過經紀在mFund平台買賣基金產品,而無需經財務策劃師或其他金融中介機構提供服務,可省卻多項行政及/或服務費用;9註釋符號代表請參閱Australian Securities and Investments Commission (2009)及Credit Suisse (2014)。 及
|
(c) | 加強經紀服務:經紀的傳統業務是提供股票買賣服務,而mFund平台可讓經紀為客戶提供更多投資選擇,並從基金產品的申購及贖回賺取經紀佣金。 |
