History[edit]
Manulife Financial Corporation has a long and storied history that dates back to its founding in 1887. The company was established in Toronto, Canada, under the name "The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company" by Sir John A. Macdonald, Canada's first Prime Minister, and other prominent businessmen and politicians of the time. The primary objective of Manulife's founders was to provide life insurance to Canadian families at a time when life insurance was not widely available in the country. They aimed to create a company that would serve the financial needs of individuals, families, and businesses, offering protection and financial security.[2]
Throughout the years, Manulife expanded its operations beyond Canada, establishing a significant presence in other countries, including the United States and Asian markets. The company's international growth was marked by strategic acquisitions and partnerships, allowing it to become a globally recognized and respected financial services provider.Manulife evolved from being primarily a life insurance company to offering a diverse range of financial products and services, including wealth and asset management, retirement solutions, annuities, mutual funds, and more. It has continued to adapt to changing market conditions and customer needs, remaining at the forefront of the financial industry.[2]
