Manulife Singapore and Manulife Investments have announced a major enhancement to their digital platform, Manulife iFUNDS, making it the first in Singapore to integrate unit trust (UT) and investment-linked plan (ILP) management. This development, unveiled on 24 April 2025, allows Manulife financial consultants to view and manage customer holdings in a single interface, streamlining wealth management services.
Since its inception in 2018, Manulife iFUNDS has provided digital tools and insights to financial consultants, enabling them to offer timely and personalised advice. The platform’s latest upgrade responds to findings from the 2024 Manulife Asia Care Survey, which highlighted financial freedom and passive income generation as top priorities for Singaporeans. By integrating insurance and investment expertise, Manulife aims to enhance holistic financial planning.
The enhanced platform allows consultants to advise on investment opportunities, calculate dividends, and use advanced simulation tools like What-If Analysis. Customers can also track their portfolios by asset class, country, and fund through improved dashboard features.
Khoo Poh Huat, Chief Distribution Officer at Manulife Singapore, stated, “By integrating UT and ILP management into a single platform, we are transforming how our financial consultants serve their customers.” Hui-Jian Koh, CEO of Manulife Investments Singapore, added, “Digital solutions are essential to providing timely investment insights.”
This enhancement sets a new standard in digital wealth advisory, bridging technology and human advisory services. For more details on Manulife iFUNDS, visit their website.
