Embracing Personalization in Retirement Planning
Retirement planning is increasingly recognized as a personalized journey rather than a generic endeavor. As individuals face various life stages, from supporting aging parents to establishing their careers, the need for adaptive investment strategies has never been clearer. Manulife Empower Solutions emerges as a pioneering force, offering retirement plans that recalibrate in response to life’s shifting priorities.
Why Delay is Not an Option
Despite the pressing importance of early planning, many find themselves caught in a web of financial responsibilities. According to the Diverse Asia Survey 2024, although a significant number of Singaporeans acknowledge the necessity of preparing for retirement early, financial obligations towards family often lead to postponed planning. “The journey doesn’t have to be daunting,” states Ms. Koh Hui-Jian, Singapore CEO at Manulife Investments. “By focusing on small, proactive steps, individuals can secure a brighter financial future.”
Innovative Solutions to Meet Diverse Needs
In collaboration with Maybank, Manulife Investments has crafted a suite of funds tailored to individual financial circumstances and risk appetites. Their flagship Manulife Empower Solutions exemplify customization, with portfolios designed to align with evolving needs and risk profiles. Key offerings include the:
- Manulife Empower Income Fund for income-seekers,
- Manulife Empower Conservative Fund for low-risk tolerance,
- Manulife Empower Moderate Fund for a balanced approach, and
- Manulife Empower Growth Fund for growth-oriented investors.
These funds form the foundation of diverse investment portfolios, catering to the personalized needs of each investor according to their lifecycle and goals.
The Glide Path: Structuring for Success
This innovative strategy features a clear “glide path,” transitioning investments from higher risk to lower risk as retirement approaches, optimizing for stability and growth. Alternatively, a customizable asset allocation allows for an even more tailored investment approach. This flexibility is designed to meet diverse goals and accommodate financial changes as life and market conditions evolve.
Personalized Advice at Your Fingertips
Professional guidance is crucial, yet many hesitate to seek it out. With Maybank’s skilled relationship managers, leveraging Manulife’s cutting-edge digital tools, adaptability becomes an achievable reality. This collaboration ensures clients receive tailored advice and dynamic management of investments, enhancing alignment with both personal ambitions and market trends.
Partnering for a Secure Future
As Singapore approaches ‘super-aged’ society status by 2026, Manulife and Maybank’s Empower Solutions are crucial for financial security and planning at all life stages. Mr. Alvin Lee, CEO of Maybank Singapore, emphasizes the impact, “This partnership delivers flexible solutions that enrich retirement planning, ensuring customers’ financial aspirations are met with precision and care.”
