CEO of John Hancock’s Parent Talks About Volatility Fears
February 25, 2025 by Allison Bell
Manulife Financial Chief Executive Officer Roy Gori acknowledged Thursday that geopolitical uncertainty could be a problem, and he made the case for why life and annuity customers and investors should trust Manulife to get them through the storm.
Executives from many other life and annuity issuers have avoided saying much about the potential impact of President Donald Trump’s actions on international relations and the economic environment in the past few weeks when going over their companies’ earnings with securities analysts.
Gori, the head of the company that owns John Hancock, brought the topic up himself at the beginning of his company’s analyst call.
