Fund codeEach fund is named using a unique code. Identify aspecific fund using its fund code when you select orchange funds.
Asset classThe types of investments (such as Canadian Equity,International Equity, Fixed Income) that account for themajority of the fund’s holdings. Funds are colour-coded byasset class.
Please note: Funds classified as “Balanced” hold similarportions of equity and fixed income investments.
Volatility meterThe volatility meter is a scale – ranging from low to high –that illustrates the amount that a fund's value is likely tofluctuate. Fund volatility is based on the standarddeviation of monthly returns over a three-year period.Funds in operation for less than three years are ratedusing the longest time period available. For a fund and

underlying fund where return history is less than one year,no volatility rating will appear. The current volatility meteruses a 25-point volatility scale.
How the underlying fund is investedThe pie chart shows the types of investments in the
underlying fund and the percentage of the overall
portfolio they represent.
Top holdingsThe individual investments in the underlying fund that
comprise the largest percentage of the overall portfolio.
This is determined using the percentage weighting of the
fund’s net market value.
Primary investment processFund managers use a number of approaches to determine
the asset allocation of a fund and to select the individual
securities it will hold. These are the most common
approaches:
• Fundamental Bottom-up – This approach considers
the investment merits of individual companies. The
sector allocation of a fund managed in this way will be
determined by the individual stocks held in the fund.
• Fundamental Top-down – Managers who use this
approach focus on the economy and financial markets.
Once this broad view – also known as a macro view – is
determined, managers choose individual stocks from
sectors they expect to outperform the market.
• Quantitative – This technique applies complex
mathematical research and statistical models along with
measurement and research to identify attractive
investments.
• Index – An indexed portfolio is constructed to mimic
the performance of a specific market index. This
approach is also known as passive investing.
• Multi-manager – A multi-manager fund is directed by
more than one investment manager and often
combines different investment styles or asset classes.
Equity style and capitalizationThis chart displays the primary equity investment style(such as value or growth) the fund manager uses to selectsecurities as well as the ‘market capitalization’ of securitiesin the fund. Market capitalization is a term used to define

Asset Classes
RETIREMENT DATE FUNDS: A fund selected closest to a
preferred retirement date with an asset mix composition
based on the length of time remaining until the preferred
retirement date.
ASSET ALLOCATION: A fund that invests in a diverse
range of asset classes, investor styles and fund
managers with the goal of maximizing expected return
while minimizing volatility for each investor profile.
GUARANTEED INTEREST ACCOUNT: A fund that earns
a fixed interest rate from the date of deposit until the date
of maturity. The interest rate is determined on the date of
deposit and does not change.
MONEY MARKET: A fund that invests in short-term
securities.
FIXED INCOME: A fund that invests in fixed income
securities that pay interest, such as corporate and
government bonds. The interest rate earned is more
commonly referred to as a ‘coupon rate’ and is
expressed as a percentage.
BALANCED: A fund that invests primarily in a combination
of common and preferred stock, bonds and short-term
securities. A typical balanced fund concentrates on capital
preservation and growth while mitigating risk. Global
Balanced funds invest in the same types of securities but
focus on worldwide investment choices.

Canadian stock exchanges.
CANADIAN SMALL/MID CAP EQUITY: A fund that
invests primarily in shares of small and medium
companies incorporated in Canada.

ACTIVELY MANAGED FUND: A fund that attempts to
out-perform the applicable benchmark by deviating from the
benchmark weights in securities, sectors, countries and/or
asset classes.
BLEND INVESTMENT STYLE: An investment style that uses
more than one style (e.g. a combination of growth and value
investment styles).
BOTTOM UP: A management style that selects companies
based on their own characteristics, regardless of the industry
or region in which they operate. This is an alternative to the
Top Down investment style, which focuses on an industry or
region then invests in companies in that category.
CORE INVESTMENT STYLE: An investment style that
typically maintains similar industry weights as the relevant
index and tries to add incremental value through security
selection.
GROWTH INVESTMENT STYLE: An investment style that
purchases securities with a greater than average growth
potential. A key characteristic of a growth stock is a high
Price to Earnings (P/E) ratio.

can be accomplished by purchasing a proportionate weight
of every security in the benchmark, or by purchasing
alternate securities/vehicles to be used as proxies for
securities in the benchmark.

An investment style that adjusts the duration of the fixed
income portfolio based on forecasted movements in the
interest rate.
SECTOR ROTATION/TRADING STYLE: An investment style
that purchases securities in industries or sectors expected to
perform well over the forecasted economic environment. As
economic forecasts change, the portfolio’s sector weightings
are adjusted accordingly.
TOP DOWN: An investment style that uses economic analysis
to assist in the asset allocation process.
VALUE INVESTMENT STYLE: An investment style that

the change in relationship between yield to maturity and
term to maturity and positions the portfolio accordingly.

Retirement Date Funds
Manulife’s Retirement Date Funds (asset class Target Date Funds) are a series of nine funds with a
pre-determined maturity or retirement date. Available with dates in five-year intervals (2010 – 2050), this option requires
investors to select a fund closest to their preferred retirement date. The asset mix composition is based on the length of time
remaining until an investor’s expected retirement date.
This means the asset mix of the portfolio – in this instance the proportion of fixed income securities and equities – changes
automatically as the fund approaches its maturity or retirement date. As the equity component of the fund slowly decreases as
the fund approaches its maturity date, the asset mix of the portfolio becomes more conservative.
These funds are well-suited for an investor who does not want to regularly review and rebalance an investment portfolio or
continually check on investment performance.

Asset Allocation
Asset Allocation funds are portfolios of underlying funds diversified by fund manager, asset class and investor style. Asset
Allocation funds are designed to make investing convenient. They provide fund participants with a balance of capital growth
and preservation consistent with five investor styles ranging from conservative to aggressive. Asset Allocation funds diversify by
investing in a number of underlying funds so plan members do not need to manage these portfolios.
Manulife offers five actively managed Asset Allocation funds. The actively managed funds strive to out-perform a variety of
benchmark index composites.
The funds are re-balanced periodically to maintain their respective long-term target asset mixes which ensures each fund’s
underlying composition fulfills its objectives.

Guaranteed Interest Accountsand Money Market
Guaranteed Interest Accounts (GIAs)
Similar to Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs) offered by banks and trust companies, these accounts guarantee an
interest rate from the date of contribution until maturity. At maturity, original investments and interest earned will reinvest for
the same term unless you provide Manulife with different instructions.
When contributions are invested in these accounts, they earn the current interest rate at the time of the deposit. That interest
is credited to the account monthly and is compounded annually. Each contribution made to a GIA accumulates for the term
selected at the guaranteed rate in effect on the date Manulife’s head office receives the contribution. The GIA operates on a
compound interest basis which means the guaranteed interest rate applies to both principal and accumulated interest.
Manulife offers GIAs for these terms: 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year.
Money Market Funds
Money Market funds invest in high-quality, short-term fixed income securities. By investing in fixed income securities, these
funds are essentially making a short-term loan to a government or corporation and earning interest on its principal. Money
Market funds are typically managed to maintain liquidity, protect the initial investment and provide a moderate level of income.
These funds are ideal for investors who want to preserve capital, who are saving for the short term or who want to maintain a
cash reserve and are comfortable only with the very lowest levels of volatility.

Fixed Income
Fixed Income funds invest in debt securities issued by corporations, as well as federal, provincial and municipal governments. By
investing in bonds, the fund earns a specified amount of interest based on the coupon rate (interest rate) on the bonds. These
funds are exposed to risks relating to the issuers’ ability to repay the debt at maturity plus changes in interest rates.
Fixed Income funds are appropriate for investors who have less tolerance for volatility and would like to emphasize preservation of
capital.

Balanced
Balanced funds typically aim to provide investors with a combination of capital growth and income. Balanced funds accomplish
this by investing in a blend of equity and fixed income securities and Global Balanced Funds accomplish this by focusing on
worldwide investment choices. Balanced fund managers typically set a long-term target for the mix of bonds and equities in
the fund and may make moderate changes to the mix to reflect their outlook on which asset class represents the best
opportunity.
Balanced funds are ideal for investors who seek a diversified portfolio with an average level of volatility and who do not want
to manage the mix of asset classes on their own. Balanced funds are appropriate for investors who are looking for a mix of
growth and income over the long term and are comfortable with some short-term volatility in their investment returns.

U.S. Equity
U.S. Equity funds are a form of foreign equity and invest in shares of U.S. companies.
These types of funds typically aim to achieve long-term capital growth by investing in shares of companies based in the United
States. A share represents an ownership stake in the company; therefore, how the Fund performs depends on the success of the
company holdings within the Fund. The Fund’s performance can also be affected by such factors as currency exchange rates and
economic and political trends.
These funds are ideal for investors who have a long-term focus, want to include U.S. holdings in their portfolios, and are
comfortable with a higher-than-average level of volatility.
U.S. Equity funds can vary greatly depending on such factors as the size and types of companies in which they invest and the
selection criteria used by the fund manager.

The philosophy
The Investment Management Services (IMS) team focuseson quality, not quantity. They believe past performance isnot an accurate indicator of future performance, butrather high-quality investment firms who adhere todocumented investment policies and procedures are morelikely to deliver superior results over time. It is their job tomonitor the fund managers on Manulife's platform soinvestors don’t have to. They understand how important itis for Manulife Financial’s stakeholders to have sufficientinformation to make prudent investment decisions. This iswhy i-Watch® exists.
Investment Management Services
One of Manulife Financial’s core competencies is providinginvestment management services in the countries in whichwe operate, including the U.S., Canada, Hong Kong, Japanand other Asian countries. In Canada, the IMS team iscomprised of analysts and industry professionals whosecredentials match professionals in the most respectedinvestment consulting firms.
By operating objectively and independently of any businessunits, the IMS team ensures fund partners meet strictrequirements for fund management. Given that moneymanagement is a global concern, team members oftenconsult with their Manulife counterparts throughout theworld. Fund partners adhere to the same best practicesparticularly when IMS is selecting or monitoring investmentfunds representing non-North American mandates.
i-Watch®
Fund selection
Funds available through Manulife Financial are screened andselected using a strict process. Performance is one screeningcriterion, but is not the most important determinant offuture returns. In IMS’ view, the consideration of aninvestment firm’s qualitative aspects, together with itsquantitative aspects, is a better indicator of the fund’s long-term viability.
Reflecting this viewpoint, Manulife Financial’s selectionprocess includes an in-depth review of factors that determinethe underlying quality of the fund manager. IMS emphasizestheir qualitative review in the decision-making process andscreens for the following qualities:
• The stability of the organization, including successionplanning and adherence to a code of ethics
• The depth, quality and overall experience level of thepeople managing the assets
• A clearly defined investment process that has beenapplied consistently over time
• A record of performance that compares favourably toappropriate benchmarks and peer managers
• Risk characteristics that are in line with investmentmandates
The IMS team is made up of independent professionals whoget ‘behind the numbers’ by visiting and interviewing fundmanagers on a regular basis, probing issues in a way that canonly come from years of experience.
Ongoing monitoring process
While the selection process is important, the ongoingmonitoring process is what makes i-Watch unique. Once aninvestment fund is selected, the IMS team continues to applythe same level of analysis used to select the fund manageroriginally. With regular onsite due diligence meetings, theIMS team conducts ongoing systematic reviews of every fundavailable through Manulife Financial. The due diligencereview includes a comprehensive examination of the evolvingcharacteristics of the fund and face-to-face meetings withthe fund manager.
Manulife Financial believes in forming long-term relationshipswith our manager partners. If a fund fails to live up to itsmandate, we will work with the fund manager to addressspecific concerns. If these additional steps fail to address ourexpectations, the fund manager will be replaced or themandate will be capped. The choice of actions is based onminimizing any disruption to investors.
