Q: Manulife is down more than the market and SLF. Is there a company specific reason for this? With a yield over 4% would you consider this a good buy for a long term hold.

What's your suggestion ? My time horizon is 18-20 years and I am an aggressive investor. The have a product called Assett Allocation that seems to invest a little bit in all of their funds.

Q: Good Morning,
I have completed a review of my portfolio and have concluded I have 10% insurance exposure probably a bit too high, made up of SLF,MFC,GWO and PWF. I know GWO & PWF are basically one in the same as PWF owns GWO. Which ones would you drop to reduce some exposure here? Thank-you.

Q: Hello 5I Team
I see that Mike Newman noted that 50% of MFC's revenue came from the U.S. and Asia. I believe that MFC have made quite a focus on the wealth management business in the U.S. Such things should be fairly positive for MFC should they not, considering the weak loonie.

Thank You
Clarence

Q: All my holdings are Canadian, but I would like to get some exposure to the US while keeping in Canadian dollars. An actuary friend of my husband told us that Manulife tends to move in a leveraged manner with the US markets because of its pension portfolio. Would this be a good way to get the exposure I am looking for, or are there better ways?
