In 1887, Canada’s Prime Minister, John Macdonald, and Parliament incorporated The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company. At the time, it was not unusual for politicians to be involved in private companies and it was not considered to be a conflict of interest.

As early as 1893, the company began selling life insurance policies outside of Canada, first in Bermuda, then Jamaica, Barbados, and Haiti.  In 1958, shareholders voted to change the company to a mutual organization privately owned by the policyholders.

In April 2015, the company announced a partnership with DBS Bank, providing Manulife exclusive access to DBS customers in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, and Indonesia. In June of that same year, Manulife-Sinochem became the first foreign-invested joint-venture life insurance company in China authorized to sell mutual funds in the country.

In August 2019, the Canadian government announced that it was altering the Patented Medicine Price Review Board. These changes should significantly reduce the cost of new medicines in Canada. Manulife supported this measure. 

Also in August 2019, Manulife announced that its net income in the second quarter grew substantially, mainly due to growth in the Asian markets.

Manulife Financial is the largest insurance company in Canada and serves more than 26 million people around the world. Company headquarters for Manulife Financial remains in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
