Frequently asked questions
An investment-linked plan combines life insurance protection with investment opportunities by investing your premiums into selected funds. Manulife InvestReady (III) provides both life protection and fund-based investment options within a single plan.
The value of your investments may rise or fall depending on market conditions and the performance of the funds you choose. If your funds decrease in value, your policy account value may also be affected. As investment returns are not guaranteed, you may receive less than the amount you have invested. We recommend reviewing your investments regularly and speaking to a financial consultant if you need guidance.
There is no fixed or guaranteed return on an investment-linked insurance policy. The performance of your policy depends on the investment funds selected, their underlying investments, and market conditions. As returns vary across funds and over time, the actual investment outcome cannot be predicted in advance.
