Important disclosures
1 You can join the Manulife Personal Plan if you are leaving a Manulife group retirement plan as a terminated or retiring member, or if you are currently a member of a Manulife group retirement plan, and 1) your existing group retirement plan doesn’t offer a plan type offered through the Manulife Personal Plan and 2) your plan sponsor allows it (ask your Manulife representative). Family members constitute as your spouse or common-law partner, children (18 or older) and your parents. 2 Fees may apply to products that are purchased. 3 Your Member Reward Program reward level is calculated based on the opening balance of your total account balance on the first day of each month and applied only to the market-based assets in each account within your Manulife Personal Plan and Group Retirement Income Plans. The savings bonus is deposited into the account once a year on the anniversary month of that account, if the account is still active and has assets in it. 4 Company stock funds and custom funds cannot be moved to the Manulife Personal Plan.
