Manulife stock: Four new funds expand global investment lineup

Manulife Investments launched four new funds on October 29, 2026, expanding its product range across global growth, dividend, equity and fixed-income strategies. The announcement was published by Manulife Investments.

Four funds broaden the lineup

The new products are the Manulife Global Growth Fund, the Manulife Smart Global Dividend ETF Portfolio Fund, the Manulife All-Equity ETF Portfolio Fund and the Manulife All-Fixed Income ETF Portfolio Fund. The global growth strategy is managed by Axiom Investors, while the dividend portfolio is managed by Manulife Investment Management's Multi-Asset Solutions team.

Manulife said the funds are intended to provide diversified, single-ticket solutions. Their stated objectives range from long-term capital appreciation to income generation and exposure to global equity or fixed-income markets. The announcement also noted that the all-in-one products can provide exposure across up to 15 equity and fixed-income asset classes.

Analyst caution remains relevant

The product expansion comes alongside a more cautious analyst view. Investing.com reported that Scotiabank downgraded Manulife to Sector Perform, citing net outflows in parts of Global Wealth and Asset Management and risks in the alternative-assets portfolio. The report said Scotiabank forecasts a 17.0 percent return on equity for 2027, below Manulife's target of more than 18 percent.
