Manulife Updates its Universal Life Managed Accounts

As of September 24, 2011, Manulife Financial has updated its account portfolio for its Innovision and  UltraVision Universal Life products.

It has added the CI Signature Income & Growth Account along with the Manulife Strategic Income Account. Both are strong performers and both have achieved Morningstar ratings of four and five stars, respectively. The Manulife Strategic Income Account also took home a Canadian Lipper Award in 2011 for best one- and three-year performance in the Global Fixed Income Category.

While additions have been made to the portfolio, so have subtractions. The following managed accounts will no longer be available after September 24, 2011:

• CI International Balanced Account
• CI Global Account
• Trimark Canadian First Class Account
• Manulife Canadian Core Class Account
• Manulife International Value Class Account

Some accounts will still be available, but under a different name. See the following list if your account is one going by a new moniker:

Account holders should have already been mailed a notification of the change in August and been informed of the automatic transfer of funds taking place (if no action to do otherwise was requested before September 24th). Account holders had the opportunity to place their funds into one of Manulife's other available accounts prior to the automatic transfer.

I work with LSM Insurance on the paramedical side of the industry. Quality Underwriting Services set up the insurance medicals. The LSM team are very easy to work with as they always prepare their clients for the medical procedure prior to our health team going out. (1 of 81)
