Manulife Investments has launched Manulife Global Growth Fund, managed by Axiom Investors LLC (“Axiom”), a U.S. based equity manager focused on dynamic growth investing, by applying a fundamental stock selection process to identify companies with underappreciated growth potential. The firm has also launched Manulife Smart Global Dividend ETF Portfolio Fund managed by Manulife Investment Management’s Multi-Asset Solutions team.
Manulife Investments has also added two Manulife All-in-One mutual funds to its existing All-in-One mutual fund suite with actively managed asset allocation and diversified exposures across up to 15 equity and/or fixed income asset classes. The new All-in-One mutual funds are Manulife All-Equity ETF Portfolio Fund and Manulife All-Fixed Income ETF Portfolio Fund.
“We continue to build our investment lineup around the needs of investors and the advisors who serve them,” said Kristie Feinberg, Head of Retail, Manulife Wealth & Asset Management. “These four new funds bring diversification, choice and access to global investment capabilities – including the expertise of Axiom through its global growth strategy – further expanding the ways investors can put Manulife Investments’ capabilities to work in their portfolios.”
The Investment objectives of the new Manulife Mutual Funds are as follows:
Manulife Global Growth Fund – The Fund seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of global equity securities.
Manulife Smart Global Dividend ETF Portfolio Fund – The Fund seeks to provide a steady flow of income and long-term capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in an underlying ETF that invests in underlying exchange traded funds managed by the Manger that provide exposure to a diversified portfolio of global dividend paying securities.
Manulife All-Equity ETF Portfolio Fund- The Fund seeks to provide long-term capital appreciation. The fund invests primarily in an underlying ETF that invests in underlying exchange-traded funds and derivatives that provide exposure to global equity securities.

Additionally, the availability of the Smart Global Dividend ETF Portfolio Fund subadvised by Manulife Investment Management and the Global Growth Fund, subadvised by Axiom, broadens the options available to advisors, giving them even greater flexibility to address different client needs and long-term objectives,” added Jordy Chilcott, Head of Retail Intermediary Distribution, Canada, Manulife Investments.
