| Invested Assets and Investment Income | Invested Assets and Investment IncomeCarrying Values and Fair Values of Invested Assets
(1)FVTPL classification was elected for debt instruments backing certain insurance contract liabilities to substantially reduce any accounting mismatch arising from changes in the fair value of these assets, or changes in the carrying value of the related insurance contract liabilities. (2)FVOCI classification for debt instruments backing certain insurance contract liabilities inherently reduces any accounting mismatch arising from changes in the fair value of these assets, or changes in the carrying value of the related insurance contract liabilities. (3)Other includes mortgages and loans to Bank clients held at amortized cost, own use properties held at fair value or cost, investment properties held at fair value, and equity method accounted investments (including leveraged leases). Also includes debt securities, which qualify as having SPPI, are held to collect contractual cash flows and are carried at amortized cost. (4)Invested assets above include debt securities, mortgages, private placements and approximately $383 (2024 – $389) of other invested assets, which primarily qualify as having SPPI qualifying cash flows. Invested assets which do not have SPPI qualifying cash flows as at December 31, 2025 include debt securities, private placements and other invested assets with fair values of $nil, $98 and $552, respectively (2024 – $nil, $132 and $547, respectively). The change in the fair value of these non-SPPI invested assets for the year ended December 31, 2025 was a decrease of $29 (2024 – an increase of $25). The methodologies used in determining fair values of invested assets are described in note 1 (c) and note 3 (g). (5)Includes short-term securities with maturities of less than one year at acquisition amounting to $11,791 (2024 – $10,121), cash equivalents with maturities of less than 90 days at acquisition amounting to $9,135 (2024 – $9,813) and cash of $5,777 (2024 – $5,855). (6)Debt securities include securities which were acquired with remaining maturities of less than one year and less than 90 days of $1,842 and $236, respectively (2024 – $1,266 and $145, respectively).

(8)Own use property of $2,466 as at December 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024 – $2,500), are underlying items for insurance contracts with direct participating features and are measured at fair value as if they were investment properties, as permitted by IAS 16. Own use property of $165 (December 31, 2024 – $174) is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. (9)ALDA include investments in private equity of $18,466, infrastructure of $18,629, timber and agriculture of $6,012, energy of $1,658 and various other ALDA of $4,264 (2024 – $18,343, $17,804, $5,917, $1,916 and $3,883, respectively). (10)Includes $4,266 (2024 – $4,300) of leveraged leases. Refer to note 1 (e).

Note: For footnotes (1) to (3), refer to the “Investment Income” table for the year ended December 31, 2025 above. Equity Method Accounted Invested AssetsOther invested assets include investments in associates and joint ventures which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting as presented in the following table.
The Company recorded income of $738 (2024 – $398) for these equity method accounted invested assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. Investment ExpensesThe following table presents total investment expenses.
The following table presents the rental income and direct operating expenses of investment properties.
The Company securitizes uninsured Home Equity Lines of Credit (“HELOC”) mortgages through the Platinum Canadian Mortgage Trust II (“PCMT”) program and participates in two Canada Housing and Mortgage Corporation (“CMHC”) residential mortgage securitization programs: the National Housing Act Mortgage-Backed Securities (“NHA MBS”) program and the Canadian Mortgage Bond (“CMB”) program. HELOCs sold to Platinum Trust II, and securitized single family residential mortgages remain on the Company’s balance sheet because prepayment and interest rate risk is retained, and notes payable are recognized, accounted for at amortized cost. 3rd party originated multi-unit residential mortgages transferred to the NHA MBS program remain on the Company’s balance sheet onto to the extent of the retained interests with gains or losses recognized on transfer. NHA MBS are also sold directly to the market. Benefits received from these securitizations include a source of fixed rate funding and interest spread between the securitized assets and related secured borrowing liabilities. There is no credit exposure from securitized mortgages under the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (“CMHC”) sponsored CMB securitization program as they are insured by CMHC and other third-party insurance programs against borrowers’ default. Cash flows received from the underlying securitized mortgages are used to settle the related secured borrowing liabilities. For CMB transactions, receipts of mortgage principal are deposited into a trust account for settlement of the related liabilities at time of maturity. These securitized assets and their related cash flows cannot be further transferred or used for other purposes by the Company. For HELOC transactions, investors are entitled to periodic interest payments, and the remaining cash receipts of mortgage principal are allocated to the Company (the “Seller”) during the revolving periods of the transactions and are accumulated for settlement during accumulation periods or repaid to the investors monthly during reduction periods, based on the terms of the notes. Securitized assets and secured borrowing liabilities
(1)The PCMT II notes payable have floating rates of interest and are secured by the PCMT II assets. Under the terms of the agreements, principal of $nil is expected to be repaid within one year, $2,453 within 1-3 years, $1,047 within 3-5 years and $nil beyond 5 years (2024 – $nil, $1,036, $1,964 and $nil, respectively). There is no specific maturity date for the contractual agreements. Under the terms of the notes, additional collateral must be provided to the series as added credit protection and the Series Purchase Agreements govern the amount of over-collateralization for each of the term notes outstanding. (2)Manulife Bank securitizes a portion of its HELOC receivables through PCMT II. PCMT II funds the purchase of the co-ownership interests from Manulife Bank by issuing term notes collateralized by an underlying pool of uninsured HELOCs to institutional investors. The restricted cash balance for the HELOC securitization reflects a cash reserve fund established in relation to the transactions. The reserve will be drawn upon only in the event of insufficient cash flows from the underlying HELOCs to satisfy the secured borrowing liabilities. (3)Manulife Bank also securitizes insured amortizing mortgages under the NHA MBS program sponsored by CMHC. Manulife Bank participates in CMB programs by selling NHA MBS securities to Canada Housing Trust (“CHT”) as well as to market, as a source of fixed-rate funding. CMB securitization included sales to CHT of $2,984 in securitized assets and $2,989 in securitized borrowing liabilities (2024 – $3,274 and $3,217, respectively); and sales to the market of $374 in securitized assets and $377 in secured borrowing liabilities (2024 – $nil and $nil, respectively). As at December 31, 2025, the fair values of securitized assets and related liabilities were $7,137 and $6,855, respectively (2024 – $6,521 and $6,182, respectively). Fair Value MeasurementThe following tables present fair values and the fair value hierarchy of invested assets and segregated funds net assets measured at fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
(1)Fair value of private placements is determined through an internal valuation methodology using both observable and unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs include credit assumptions and liquidity spread adjustments. Private placements are classified within Level 2 unless the liquidity spread adjustment constitutes a significant price impact, in which case they are classified as Level 3. (2)For real estate properties, the significant unobservable inputs are capitalization rates ranging from 3.20% to 11.00% during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – ranging from 3.10% to 9.50%), terminal capitalization rates ranging from 3.25% to 10.00% during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – ranging from 3.10% to 10.00%) and discount rates ranging from 3.60% to 13.75% during the year ended December 31, 2025 (2024 – ranging from 3.60% to 13.75%). Holding other factors constant, a lower capitalization or terminal capitalization rate will tend to increase the fair value of an investment property. Changes in fair value based on variations in unobservable inputs generally cannot be extrapolated because the relationship between the directional changes of each input is not usually linear. (3)Other invested assets measured at fair value are held in infrastructure and timberland sectors and include fund investments of $32,804 (2024 – $31,435) recorded at net asset value. The significant inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s infrastructure investments are primarily future distributable cash flows, terminal values and discount rates. Holding other factors constant, an increase to future distributable cash flows or terminal values would tend to increase the fair value of an infrastructure investment, while an increase in the discount rate would have the opposite effect. Discount rates during the year ended December 31, 2025 ranged from 7.87% to 20.00% (2024 – ranged from 7.42% to 20.00%). Disclosure of distributable cash flow and terminal value ranges are not meaningful given the disparity in estimates by project. The significant inputs used in the valuation of the Company’s investments in timberland properties are timber prices and discount rates. Holding other factors constant, an increase to timber prices would tend to increase the fair value of a timberland investment, while an increase in the discount rates would have the opposite effect. Discount rates during the year ended December 31, 2025 ranged from 3.25% to 6.25% (2024 – ranged from 3.25% to 6.25%). A range of prices for timber is not meaningful as the market price depends on factors such as property location and proximity to markets and export yards. (4)Segregated funds net assets are measured at fair value. The Company’s Level 3 segregated funds underlying assets are predominantly investment properties and timberland properties valued as described above.
Note: For footnotes (1) to (4), refer to the “Fair Value Measurement” table as at December 31, 2025 above. The following tables present fair value of invested assets not measured at fair value by the fair value hierarchy.
(1)Fair value of commercial mortgages is determined through an internal valuation methodology using both observable and unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs include credit assumptions and liquidity spread adjustments. Fair value of fixed-rate residential mortgages is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Inputs used for valuation are primarily comprised of prevailing interest rates and prepayment rates, if applicable. Fair value of variable-rate residential mortgages is assumed to be their carrying value. (2)Fair value of fixed-rate loans to Bank clients is determined using the discounted cash flow method. Inputs used for valuation are primarily comprised of current interest rates. Fair value of variable-rate loans is assumed to be their carrying value. (3)Fair value of own use real estate and the fair value hierarchy are determined in accordance with the methodologies described for real estate – investment property in note 1 (e). (4)The carrying value of other invested assets includes leveraged leases of $4,266 (2024 – $4,300), other equity method accounted investments and other invested assets of $10,151 (2024 – $9,831). Fair value of leveraged leases is disclosed at its carrying value as fair value is not routinely calculated on these investments. Fair value of equity method accounted investments and other invested assets is determined using a variety of valuation techniques including discounted cash flows and market comparable approaches. Inputs vary based on the specific investment. Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 The Company records transfers of assets and liabilities between Level 1 and Level 2 at their fair values as at the end of each reporting period, consistent with the date of the determination of fair value. Assets are transferred out of Level 1 when they are no longer transacted with sufficient frequency and volume in an active market. Conversely, assets are transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 when transaction volume and frequency are indicative of an active market. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had $nil transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 (2024 – $nil). For segregated funds net assets, during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had $nil transfers from Level 1 to Level 2 (2024 – $nil). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had $nil transfers from Level 2 to Level 1 (2024 – $nil). Invested assets and segregated funds net assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) The Company classifies fair values of invested assets and segregated funds net assets as Level 3 if there are no observable market inputs for these assets, or in the presence of active markets significant unobservable inputs are used to determine fair value. The Company prioritizes the use of market-based inputs over unobservable inputs in determining Level 3 fair values. The gains and losses in the table below include the changes in fair value due to both observable and unobservable factors. The following tables present the movement in invested assets, net derivatives and segregated funds net assets measured at fair value using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(1)These amounts are included in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Income except for the amount related to segregated funds net assets, where the amount is recorded in Investment income related to segregated funds net assets. Refer to note 1 (h). (2)These amounts are included in OCI on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. (3)The Company uses fair value of the assets at the beginning of the year for assets transferred into and out of Level 3 except for derivatives, where the Company uses fair value at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year, respectively. (4)The derivatives transferred from Level 3 to Level 2 amounting to $3,233 in the current period are related to derivative contracts that no longer have unobservable inputs for determining fair values. Forward contracts and other derivatives which continue to have unobservable inputs are still classified as Level 3.
(1)These amounts are included in Net investment income on the Consolidated Statements of Income except for the amount related to segregated funds net assets, where the amount is recorded in Investment income related to segregated funds net assets. Refer to note 1 (h). (2)These amounts are included in OCI on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. (3)The Company uses fair value of the assets at the beginning of the year for assets transferred into and out of Level 3 except for derivatives, where the Company uses fair value at the end of the year and at the beginning of the year, respectively. Transfers into Level 3 primarily result where a lack of observable market data (versus the previous period) arises. Transfers from Level 3 primarily result from observable market data becoming available for derivatives, or for the entire term structure of the private placements. Remaining Term to MaturityThe following tables present remaining term to maturity for invested assets.
(1)Represents contractual maturities. Actual maturities may differ due to prepayment privileges in the applicable contract.
