Manulife Singapore Issues a Single US$300 Million Life Insurance Policy,
Cementing High-Net-Worth Leadership 

Share

SINGAPORE – 24 February 2026 – Manulife Singapore has achieved a significant milestone in the high-net-worth (HNW) insurance market with the issuance of a single US$300 million1 life insurance policy2. This landmark transaction underscores the company’s capability in structuring complex, large-scale wealth preservation and legacy planning solutions.

The policy was issued and underwritten by Manulife Singapore. The transaction reflects the growing sophistication of HNW planning needs, as families seek insurers with the financial strength, global perspective, and in-depth expertise to address multi-generational needs across different geographies.

Singapore's political and economic stability, coupled with its robust regulatory regime, continues to position the city-state as a key destination for HNW wealth management. Riding on the growth of HNW individuals and families in Asia, Manulife Singapore has been at the forefront of developing innovative insurance solutions that help clients prepare for the future, and transition wealth across generations.  In the last 12 months, Manulife Singapore issued 25 individual policies, each valued at over US$50 million3 to individual customers. This sustained momentum underscores the growing demand for comprehensive protection, wealth accumulation, and legacy planning solutions among HNW clients.

 

Benoit Meslet, CEO, Manulife Singapore, said: “As HNW families place greater emphasis on long-term certainty and legacy planning, they are looking for insurers with deep experience and the ability to deliver well-structured solutions at scale. This issuance reflects the trust placed in Manulife and reinforces our leadership in the HNW sector.”

He added: “Our continued leadership is built on strong underwriting discipline, robust governance standards, a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of HNW clients, and a long-standing commitment to supporting families across generations.”

 

Proven Track Record of Innovation

Manulife Singapore has long established its credibility and innovation in the HNW space. Since launching Universal Life in 2010, the company has continued to lead the market with new offerings, introducing Variable Universal Life in 2017 and becoming the first insurer in Singapore to launch Indexed Universal Life in 2019. Since then, Manulife Singapore has expanded its portfolio and introduced more first-in-market solutions, including:

  • March 2025: Signature Indexed Income combines Indexed Universal Life upside with lifetime income payouts and flexible payout dates.
  • April 2025: Signature Indexed Universal Life Select (III) offers access to five global indices, including the inaugural launch of the S&P GSCI Gold ER Index in Asia.
  • January 2026: Signature Legacy Harvest is a USD participating whole life plan designed for high-net-worth families, focusing on wealth preservation, accumulation and legacy planning. It offers new features such as a Contingent Policy Owner option for seamless policy continuation and a Death Benefit Inheritance Option to enable structured wealth transfer across generations.

 

Building on more than 125 years of service in Singapore and the global scale of Manulife, which manages C$1.7 trillion4 in assets under management globally, Manulife Singapore continues to invest in underwriting excellence, digital capabilities and advisor enablement to deliver a seamless, high-touch experience for HNW clients.
