Flexibility and convenience

MPIP Segregated Pools recognize higher deposit amounts with management fee reimbursements for segregated pools and portfolios. These allow household contract linking, which combines all the contract balances in an investor’s household to potentially qualify for an even greater management fee reimbursement.

  • Household contract-linking 

The household contract linking balance is determined by combining all the assets of the pools/portfolios/GIAs/DIA held in eligible contracts in the household, which can include spouses3 and other family members residing at the same address. It can also include corporate contracts where a qualifying household member beneficially owns more than 50% of the corporation’s voting equity.

  • Management Fee Reimbursement (MFR) Rates

If the aggregated market value of the household assets reaches or exceeds $250,000, every contract within the household benefits from the MFR. MFR rates don’t differ by pool/portfolio and include the household assets going back to the first dollar invested. The MFR will automatically be credited to the contract, and all eligible contracts in the household, as an allocation of additional units into the relevant pools or portfolios on at least a quarterly basis and will not be paid in cash. GIA and DIA assets are included in the calculation in determining MFR eligibility, though do not receive an MFR.

*MFR rates that are listed do not include applicable HST. A basis point (bps) is a unit that is equal to 1/100th of 1 percent, and is used to denote the change in financial instrument. The basis point is commonly used for calculating changes in interest rates, equity indexes and the yield of a fixed‑income security.

** Asset bands, tiers and rates are subject to change. The amount of the reimbursement begins on the first dollar invested.

*** Management fee reimbursement rates do not apply to the Manulife Dollar‑Cost Averaging Program Private Segregated Pool or to the Manulife High Interest Savings Private Segregated Pool. The MFR will not be paid in cash but will be credited to the contract. GIA and DIA assets are included in the calculation in determining MFR eligibility, though do not receive an MFR.

At death, contract proceeds can pass quickly and privately¹ to designated beneficiaries (other than an estate), without legal, estate administration, and probate² fees.
