New name, same commitment

John Hancock’s retirement business is now Manulife John Hancock Retirement. We’ve been a proud member of the Manulife organization for more than 20 years, and our new name marks a significant milestone in our journey, uniting our wealth and asset management brand globally. It enables us to articulate our capabilities in a way that reflects the global strength and scale of our parent company while continuing to deliver the exceptional service you’ve come to expect from us.
Please note that our name change doesn’t affect the services we provide on the Signature and open-architecture recordkeeping platforms, and our fund names remain the same.
Enhanced participant website encourages retirement planning

Participants now have access to even more educational tools and resources, including calculators, videos, and webinars, at myplan.johnhancock.com. Best of all, they don’t have to sign in to their accounts to use them, making it easier for participants to plan for their future and build their financial know-how.
Understanding longevity and shortfall risk

Retirement used to be counted in years, but now it’s counted in decades. With longer lifespans, many individuals may be at risk of outliving their retirement savings. Our in-depth longevity report provides actionable insight to help financial professionals tackle this challenge. With their support, workers of all generations can improve their retirement readiness and build financial resiliency.
Market volatility hub—helping participants stay calm and save on

Big swings in the market can be stressful for participants as no one wants to watch their retirement savings go down. Our market volatility hub is filled with resources to help financial professionals ease participants’ concerns, including:
- Thought leadership from our investment specialists
- A market dynamics education library
- Investment basics videos
