Hong Kong market role
Our Business describes life/health, MPF, ORSO, funds and wealth across HK/Macau, and cites third-party MPF share stats—we do not convert that into a ranking; check the source date. Distribution lists agents and named bank partners.
Protection & tool categories
Life / CI / medical
What it means：Portfolio publicly includes individual and group life and health plan categories.
Reader note：Group vs individual differ in renewals, underwriting and ownership.
MPF and retirement
What it means：Milestones and business pages emphasise MPF provider role and retirement solutions.
Reader note：MPF is a retirement-system tool—different logic from life-policy cash values; don’t mix return slogans.
Savings / wealth and ILAS
What it means：Public wording includes wealth management and related insurance/fund categories.
Reader note：Ask fees, liquidity and suitability records; no yield figures here.
Group insurance
What it means：Business mix explicitly includes group life and health categories.
Reader note：Map employee benefits vs shareholder protection before any scheme talk.
Channels & contact (public)

Situations where this archive may help
- Readers comparing protection layers with MPF/retirement layers.
- Those mapping how bankassurance sits beside agency.
When to pause first
- Treating cited “No.1” market claims as a buy reason without checking methodology.
- Pushed into lump-sum moves before MPF accounts vs insurance policies are distinct.
Questions for a licensed intermediary
- Is today about an insurance policy, MPF, or both? Separate the documents.
- How does suitability assessment differ via bank vs agency?
- If citing market share, provide report name, date and comparison basis.
- What happens to group cover portability after leaving the employer?
Compliance notes
- Market-position claims cite third-party summaries—we do not turn them into rankings.
- Licences follow IA registers and Manulife Hong Kong disclosures.
