Manulife Financial is a strong company with a bright future. Domestically, Manulife is in a great position to excel in both Canadian and American markets, however, its positions in Asia and more importantly, China, are of particular interest. Did you know that only 6% of the Chinese have life insurance? Can you spell underdeveloped market? With superior access to these fast growing markets, I feel that Manulife can continue to outperform its industry peers for years to come, whether you look at stock price, dividend growth or earnings growth. Because of these factors, I can understand why Manulife deserves a superior multiple to its competitors as first class merchandise always sells for top dollar.
