Bulls Say, Bears Say

Bulls

Manulife could achieve strong growth in Asia within the next few years, driving overall top-line growth and improving geographic diversification.

Bears

Manulife offers complex insurance products that expose it to underwriting, investment, capital market, and interest-rate risks. Also, a higher general account allocation to non-fixed-income assets can potentially be risky during an elongated economic slowdown.
