Manulife needs an entity-specific source guide. Manulife provides a particularly useful dual-perimeter case: MFC is the listed holding company while MLI is the main regulated insurer, and the group reports through Manulife and John Hancock regional brands alongside wealth and asset management. The LICAT figures make entity attribution operationally important. The canonical company surface is the Manulife profile, while the references archive is the source-card record.
The qualified pack contains 5 cards across 5 source categories and 2 source owners or independently maintained paths. Its latest recorded reporting period is FY2025. Those counts describe evidence coverage, not a score or a claim that every source measures the same thing.

Why This Source Map Is Distinct
Qualifies with browser-reviewed SEC-filed FY2025 reporting and results plus NYSE support; official Manulife and automated SEC requests returned HTTP 403 and are documented. Together, the cards establish a route from identity and business scope to periodic reporting and capital, regulatory, ratings, exchange, or profile context. They do not merge those source types into one universal measure.
Reading The Source Categories
1. Annual filing (Form 40-F)
Owner: Manulife / US SEC EDGAR. Category: Annual filing (Form 40-F). Reporting period: FY2025. Entity scope: Manulife Financial Corporation filing perimeter. Evidence: Provides the regulator-hosted annual filing and exhibit map for the 2025 reporting package. Caution: Official Manulife entry returned HTTP 403 to command-line retrieval; accepted SEC filing was browser-reviewed. Filing exhibits must retain issuer and period.
2. Consolidated financial statements
Owner: Manulife / US SEC EDGAR. Category: Consolidated financial statements. Reporting period: FY2025. Entity scope: Manulife Financial Corporation consolidated. Evidence: Supports audited consolidated financial statements and their Canadian-dollar unit conventions. Caution: Browser-reviewed; automated request returned HTTP 403. Do not transfer consolidated figures to MLI or a regional segment.
3. Management discussion, capital, and ratings
Owner: Manulife / US SEC EDGAR. Category: Management discussion, capital, and ratings. Reporting period: FY2025. Entity scope: MFC group, MLI, and disclosed segments/entities. Evidence: Supports the MFC/MLI boundary, regional operating model, regulatory-capital measures, and ratings context. At year-end, MLI's LICAT ratio was 136%, MFC's LICAT ratio 125%, and excess capital over the stated thresholds was CAD 24.1 billion for MLI and CAD 23.7 billion for MFC. Caution: Official ratings entry returned HTTP 403 to command-line retrieval; SEC MD&A was browser-reviewed. Preserve which ratio/capital amount belongs to MLI versus MFC; ratings are not recommendations.
4. Full-year results availability
Owner: Manulife / US SEC EDGAR. Category: Full-year results availability. Reporting period: FY2025. Entity scope: MFC consolidated and disclosed operating measures. Evidence: Reports 2025 core earnings of CAD 7.5 billion, net income attributed to shareholders of CAD 5.6 billion, and remittances of CAD 6.4 billion. Caution: Browser-reviewed; automated request returned HTTP 403. Core earnings and remittances require Manulife's non-GAAP definitions.
5. Exchange/company record
Owner: New York Stock Exchange. Category: Exchange/company record. Reporting period: Current listing. Entity scope: Manulife Financial Corporation, symbol MFC. Evidence: Supports listed-parent identity. Caution: HTTP 200; current market quotations are excluded.
Reporting Periods And Company-Specific Facts
The source cards above contain the pack's principal numerical evidence from Annual filing (Form 40-F), Management discussion, capital, and ratings, Full-year results availability. Each fact remains inside its complete reporting-period and entity-scope record rather than being detached into a current-value table. Units, currencies, denominators, statutory or non-statutory labels, and issuer-defined terminology must remain exactly as the applicable card records them.
Period discipline matters here. A current profile page, an annual report, a regulatory return, a ratings page, and an exchange record can all be valid while answering different questions. The source date and reviewed date do not replace the underlying reporting period, and group totals cannot be moved to a subsidiary or business line without explicit support.
Entity Boundary
Treat Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) as the listed holding company and The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company (MLI) as the principal regulated operating insurer. Keep Manulife-branded Canada/Asia businesses, John Hancock US businesses, and wealth/asset-management entities mapped to their disclosed legal or segment scope. The guide therefore keeps the parent, consolidated group, operating insurers, brands, branches, joint ventures, and non-insurance businesses separate whenever the dossier identifies those distinctions.
What The Pack Can And Cannot Establish
The pack can establish source ownership, source category, accepted URL, reporting period, reviewed date, and the entity or segment scope stated on each card. It can also support the company-specific facts recorded in the dossier when their labels, units, currencies, denominators, and periods are preserved.
It cannot establish current security value, relative ranking, product suitability, available underwriting capacity, present pricing, placement terms, private treaty terms, or a standalone conclusion about solvency. Issuer-defined measures remain tied to the issuer's methodology and are not automatically comparable with similarly named measures from another insurer.
How To Use This Map
Start with the source category that matches the question. Use annual or full-year reporting for period-specific group facts, regulatory material for the named regulatory perimeter, ratings material for the named rated entity and opinion type, and exchange or corporate-profile material only for identity and public-record context. Then confirm the card's period, entity scope, unit, and caution before carrying any fact into another editorial surface.
