THE HONG KONG UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STAFF SUPERANNUATION SCHEME
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 1994
TRUSTEES’ REPORT
The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Staff Superannuation Scheme (“the Scheme”) was introduced from 1 July 1992. The main purpose of the Scheme is to provide a lump-sum cash retirement benefit for staff members of The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (“HKUST”) who are eligible to participate in the Scheme.
2. The Scheme has been constituted under a Deed of Trust and individual Trustees are appointed by the University Council. As at the end of the financial year there were seven Trustees who together formed a Board of Trustees:
Chairman: The Hon. LAU Wah-sum Members: Dr. CHENG Hon-kwan
Mr. LEE Hot-r-chiu Mr. PANG Tak-ming Mr. TAN Chuen-yan, Paul Dr. Raymond Sze-chung WONG Prof. WOO Chia-Wei
While Messrs. Lau Wah-sum, Cheng Hon-kwan, Lee Hon-chiu, Tan Chuen-yan, Paul and Prof.
Woo Chia-Wei were appointed directly by the University Council, the appointments of Mr. Pang Tak-ming and Dr. Raymond Sze-Chung Wong were made on the basis of the results of elections which were open to all eligible Scheme Members.
3. In the second year of operation of the Scheme, professionals appointed by the Trustees continued to provide various services to the Scheme. The investment managers were AEtna Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited (“AEtna”) and Barclays de Zoete Wedd Investment Management (Hong Kong) Limited (“Barclays”). Their performance for the year had been satisfactory, with AEtna and Barclays achieving time-weighted returns of 25% and 15% respectively. The Scheme Administrator was Bermuda Trust (Far East) Limited. The Actuary, Towers Perrin, who was appointed by the University Council on the recommendation of the Trustees continued to serve the Scheme.
4. During the year, the Deed of Trust had been varied so as to accept transfer payments from the HKUST Ancillary Staff Superannuation Scheme. This took effect on 25 March 1994.
The Scheme had since then and up to 30 June 1994 accepted transfer payments from the HKUST Ancillary Staff Superannuation Scheme in respect of three ancillary staff members.
5. As at the end of the financial year, the total net assets of the Scheme was $51.92 million of which $48.76 million represented HKUST and Members’ Balances. The Scheme had a General Reserve of $3.16 million as at 30 June 1994. The total number of Scheme Members as at the end of the financial year stood at 1 ,018, a net increase of 326 Members when compared with the membership at 30 June 1993. Of the total number of Scheme Members, 30 and 988 were otherwise Terms A and Terms B staff members of HKUST respectively.
6. It is envisaged that both the assets of the Scheme and the number of Scheme Members will continue to grow in pace with the expansion of HKUST in 1994/95. It is also envisaged that more staff members who are gradually completing their two or three-year employment contracts will join the Superannuation Scheme.
7. The Board would like to take this opportunity to thank all parties involved in the management of the Scheme for their advice and contributions during the year.
