US Market Weight in Global Equity MPF Funds: Disclosures and Historical Performance
Facts: fund disclosure path, public index reference, global vs US equity category medians
Our fund dataset has no per-fund regional-weight fields; members need each fund’s offering document or factsheet for disclosed country/regional allocation. As a public index reference, the MSCI World Index United States weight was 72.94% as of 30 Sep 2026 (source: MSCI index factsheet; the index is not an MPF fund). As of 2026-09-30, our classification has 26 global equity and 20 US equity funds; median 5-year annualised returns were +9.83% and +11.55% respectively. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

DISCLOSURE
US weight: read each fund’s documents
Our compiled funds data uses MPFA MPF Fund Platform published returns, expense ratios and related fields — there is no “US market weight” or regional-allocation percentage field. This page therefore does not list or invent any single MPF fund’s US %.
- Open the constituent fund’s offering document / key scheme brochure on eMPF or the trustee site.
- Find the “regional / country / geographic allocation” table in the factsheet or periodic report.
- Check the disclosure date: weights move with markets and manager trades; stale figures are not current.
- A “global” label describes the investment scope policy; it does not guarantee fixed US (or other) caps/floors.
PUBLIC INDEX REFERENCE
MSCI World United States weight (index, not an MPF fund)
Some global equity funds state that they refer to developed-market / global benchmarks. The figure below comes from the index provider’s public factsheet and only illustrates a common free-float market-cap structure; individual MPF funds may track different benchmarks or deviate actively.

Global equity vs US equity: category historical medians
We map constituent funds to “global equity” (equity-global) and “US equity” (equity-US) from MPFA Fund Platform fields. The table shows equal-weight category medians (as of 2026-09-30) — published return/risk stats, not regional weights, and not a fund ranking.
| Category | n | 1y med. | 5y ann. med. | FER | 2022 | MDD med. |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Global equity | 26 | +16.63% | +9.83% | 1.29% | -20.25% | -25.71% |
| US equity | 20 | +14.38% | +11.55% | 1.06% | -19.58% | -24.20% |

FAQ
What is the US weight in MPF global equity funds?
There is no single figure. Disclosed regional mixes differ by fund and change over time; our dataset has no per-fund US-weight field. Check the fund’s latest offering document or factsheet.
Why do global equity funds often show a large US weight?
Many global benchmarks are free-float market-cap weighted, so large US listings raise the index’s US share. For example, MSCI World’s United States weight was 72.94% as of 30 Sep 2026 (MSCI factsheet). Individual MPF funds may deviate from a benchmark — always use that fund’s disclosure.
How do global vs US equity category histories compare?
As of 2026-09-30, global equity (n=26) median 5y annualised return was +9.83% versus +11.55% for US equity (n=20); 2022 medians were -20.25% and -19.58%. Category contrast is not a recommendation.
Will this site suggest overweighting or underweighting the US?
No. This page only covers disclosure paths, a public index reference and category history — not an allocation suggestion.
