•
|
We completed the acquisition of Aviva Vietnam, along with the beginning of a 16-year bancassurance partnership with VietinBank
that enables a full suite of insurance, wealth and retirement solutions to be made available to VietinBank customers.
|
•
|
We increased the number of contracted agents to over 117,000 and our number of Million Dollar Round Table agents grew
by 64% compared with 2020.
|
•
|
We continued to expand the reach of our agency force in China with the opening of our newest branch in Shaanxi province. We now operate in 52 cities across
15 provinces, providing access to over 60% of China’s population and which represents over 70% of GDP.
|
•
|
We introduced Personalized Medicine, which provides access to advanced pharmacogenetics to help group benefit members and their health team find the most
effective medication for their condition.
|
•
|
We expanded our Manulife Vitality program to reward customers who received their COVID-19 vaccine.
|
•
|
We launched the Manulife Vitality HealthyMind reward program to help our individual insurance customers improve
their mental and emotional wellbeing.
|
•
|
We entered into an agreement to reinsure over 75% of the legacy variable annuity block, consisting primarily of policies with guaranteed minimum withdrawal
benefits riders. The transaction, which closed on February 1, 2022, is estimated to release approximately $2.0 billion of additional capital reflecting approximately $1.3 billion of net LICAT required capital, and a one-time after-tax gain
of approximately $750 million to net income attributed to shareholders.1
|
|
|
1 |
See “Caution regarding forward-looking statements” below. Projected capital release and gain based on September 30, 2021.
|
•
|
We experienced sales momentum with sales ahead of the prior year in almost every major category and reported record sales in our international business. We
achieved record full year sales of US$295 million, an increase of 34% compared with 2020, from products with the John Hancock Vitality PLUS feature. We believe our John Hancock Vitality feature is proving to be the right solution for these
times as there is a heightened awareness around wellbeing highlighted by COVID-19.
|
•
|
We also launched a preferred partnership with Allstate, which provides insurance to approximately 15 million customers, to be one of three carrier partners
for its more than 11,000 agents and 1,000 life specialists. In time we expect this relationship, enabled by our digital submission capabilities, will drive significant life insurance sales.1
|
•
|
We expanded our sustainable investing products with the launch of investment strategies in Sustainable Asia Bond, Global Climate, and ESG Asian Multi-Asset
Income. Additionally, Manulife Investment Management was accepted as a signatory to the UK Stewardship Code, which is recognized globally as a best practice benchmark in investment stewardship. Nearly 200 asset managers, pension funds and
others applied but only 123 were accepted after a rigorous review by the Financial Reporting Council2.
|
•
|
We also secured an Alternative Investment Fund Managers ("AIFM") license to offer European Union (“EU”) private market funds in our key European markets,
positioning us to drive the expansion and offering of our private market investment capabilities within the EU.
|
•
|
We expanded our retail product line-up beyond traditional mutual funds with new actively managed Exchange Traded Funds in both Canada and the U.S. and we
furthered Separately Managed Accounts offerings in the U.S., with each category generating over $1 billion in net inflows in 2021.
|
•
|
In Asia, ePOS, our digital onboarding app, is enabling our agents with faster, error-free submissions with 82% of applications digitally submitted,
representing a 22% year over year increase. 79% of submitted cases are auto-underwritten.
|
•
|
In the U.S., we completed the iPipeline integration with the JH brokerage eApp. This integration provides 66% of our regular distribution partners with
access to next-generation sales tools and decreases the overall cycle time for applications submitted via this preferred channel by 49% year over year. It also enabled access to over 250 firms, including a new partnership with Allstate and
its more than 11,000 agents.
|
•
|
Aided by the above initiatives, overall new business applications submitted digitally increased by 15 percentage points in 2021 to 71%.
|
•
|
In Canada, we became the first Canadian company to use artificial intelligence (“AI”) in underwriting mortgage creditor insurance in our individual
insurance business. Since its introduction, one-third of our applications have been approved using AI, resulting in auto adjudication of more than $1 billion of face amount in 2021.
|
•
|
In Global WAM, Asia Retail’s online investment platform, Manulife iFUNDS continued to show strong momentum in 2021 compared with 2020, with a 39% increase
in gross flows3, a 29% increase in new accounts opened, and a 198% increase in monthly investment plans.
|
•
|
In U.S. Retirement, 88% of plan enrollees adopted our new digital express enrollment capability, that delivers a simple, fast and seamless way to enroll in
their plan and benefit from access to personalized guidance. This resulted in an 11% increase in participation and six times the managed accounts conversion rate when compared to the previous enrollment process.
