They aren’t just financial experts, they’re planning experts too
Fully licensed financial advisors and certified (or soon-to-be) financial planners, PlanRight advisors offer impartial advice backed by the strength of Manulife. And because they offer their services as part of your group retirement program, there’s no cost to you.
They have a very unique specialty
—your group retirement program
Because PlanRight advisors are part of our team, they know your program inside and out. They know what makes it great and what makes it great for you, so that together, you can make the most of your program, your goals, and your future.
We give them one job
The PlanRight advisors' job is to help you take charge of your savings and your future. To do that job, they tap into all our products and a wide range of products from other financial institutions too. We empower them to recommend whatever’s best for you—even if it’s not one of our products.
It’s all about collaboration
You help your PlanRight advisor understand you, and your advisor helps you understand the advice—explaining what’s unfamiliar, highlighting what’s important, and connecting it all to what matters—using language that's straightforward and easy to understand.

Your life is about more than your job. And your goals are about more than retirement. As it happens, PlanRight advisors are about more than retirement too. They’ll work with you to build and stick to a single, realistic financial plan that works for you and all your goals—for today and tomorrow.
