A portfolio designed around you
A TRUSTED PROFESSIONAL LEADS THE WAY
When you delegate the responsibility of investing to your personal Portfolio Manager you want the right professional leading the way. Your personal Associate Portfolio Manager is an accredited and licensed financial professional who employs prudent and personal thinking to manage your wealth. Complementing your Associate Portfolio Manager’s expertise is a support network of Manulife’s investment experts. These experts contribute insights and knowledge on portfolio construction, investment trends, market commentary and potential opportunities. This collective knowledge and ongoing collaboration creates a team of investing specialists working on executing an investment strategy suited to your needs.
PUTTING STRATEGY INTO ACTION
The first step in building a successful investment strategy involves creating your personal Investment Policy Statement. This document, prepared by your personal Associate Portfolio Manager after consulting with you, contains important information such as your investment objectives, risk tolerance, and the amount of time you have to reach your objectives. Your Investment Policy Statement also describes your investment strategy, including the parameters your Associate Portfolio Manager adheres to when allocating your assets and selecting investments
EXPERTISE GUIDES YOUR INVESTMENT DECISIONS
With significant investing expertise, advanced credentials and a network of professional resources, your Associate Portfolio Manager is uniquely qualified to manage your wealth. Your Associate Portfolio Manager has the flexibility and discretion to:
- trade securities in your portfolio
- add or remove holdings selectively based on investment research or in anticipation of market trends
- act quickly in special situations to capitalize on timely investment opportunities
- rebalance your portfolio to maintain your target asset allocation
Trades executed by your Associate Portfolio Manager are monitored to ensure they adhere to the guidelines in your Investment Policy Statement. You can stay informed about activity in your portfolio through any-time online access, regular account statements or through communication with your Portfolio Manager
