One of the main drawbacks of Manulife is its lack of offerings for active retail traders. Manulife does not provide Manulife trading accounts or support for platforms like MT4 or MT5, which are popular among retail traders for forex and other active trading. Additionally, while the company offers various Manulife investments and Manulife asset products, the complexity of investment-linked assurance schemes (ILAS) may be difficult for some investors to understand, potentially leading to confusion regarding fees and the structure of these products. Furthermore, the exchange rate fluctuations, particularly for policies denominated in foreign currencies, can impact premiums and payments. From my perspective, Manulife excels in long-term financial solutions like savings, retirement planning, and life protection, but may not be the best choice for active traders who require frequent market access or more straightforward investment products.
