So, you’d like to reach more millionaires.
So would John Hancock and its parent, Manulife Financial.
Jean Wong, the CEO of Manulife Global HNW, briefed the company’s investors on her unit’s strategy for reaching and serving high-net-worth people, ultra-high-net-worth people and the “millionaires next door” last week during an investor day meeting in Hong Kong.
Manulife set up the business by combining three existing wealth advisory units in 2023. Sales increased to $309 million in new annualized premium equivalents, from $239 million the year before.
