“Through our partnership with RSA which is a leading global insurer specializing in general insurance, Manulife has been able to enrich our comprehensive product suite and provide our customers with total financial solutions,” said Michael Huddart, Manulife’s EVP and CEO in Hong Kong. “We are very pleased that both institutions have the same vision—to exceed and excel in product innovation and service excellence.”

Chris Colahan, CEO of RSA Hong Kong said that the 18-year partnership allowed the company to develop a deep understanding of the needs of Manulife agents and customers. “We have used this insight to create a customized, co-branded suite of products that we offer exclusively to Manulife,” he said. “We know how important speed and simplicity of service is to Manulife agents, so we work tirelessly to make ourselves easy to do business with.”
