Manulife Singapore's income-generating product, Manulife IncomeGen (II), has been enhanced. This new version features a shorter breakeven period and introduces a terminal cancer benefit, providing more robust financial solutions.

According to the Manulife Asia Care Survey 2024, over 90% of respondents in Singapore have long-term financial goals, with "having income without working" ranking among the top five. 

The insurer said the upgraded product targets these aspirations by offering a lifetime of monthly income payouts up to age 120.
