Bank of China (Hong Kong) (“BOCHK”) and Manulife Investments announced a regional collaboration to offer Multi-Asset Income Solutions to customers of BOCHK and Bank of China (Malaysia). This collaboration leverages the strengths of both parties in distribution networks and product capabilities across Asia to provide investors with diversified asset allocation options.
Shirley Leung, Deputy General Manager, Personal Banking Product Department, BOCHK, said: “Leveraging our strong position in the local wealth management sector, BOCHK is actively enhancing regional collaboration with our partners to extend our product and service models across Southeast Asia, offering customers more comprehensive wealth management solutions. In the first half of this year, the majority of our customers sought investment solutions that offer relatively stable risk profiles and regular income. The transaction amount of global multi-asset funds is more than double year-on-year in the first quarter, underscoring the market’s strong demand for such products. Meanwhile, the number of Wealth Management customers at Bank of China (Malaysia) has been steadily increasing, reflecting growing interest in wealth management services in the local market. In light of these trends, BOCHK is capitalising on growth opportunities across Asia by partnering with Manulife Investments and leveraging its strength in products to introduce innovative and flexible wealth solutions in both Hong Kong (China) and Malaysia – providing customers at every stage of life with diverse income opportunities.”
Grace Ho, Head of Retail Wealth Distribution and Direct Digital Business, Asia, Manulife Investments, said: "We are pleased to partner with BOCHK to broaden access to our multi-asset income solutions, which are designed to deliver consistent and competitive income opportunities across varying market conditions. By drawing on diversified income sources and leveraging both our deep local expertise and global investment network, we are uniquely positioned to identify high-quality opportunities across asset classes and geographies. This collaboration underscores our commitment to helping investors achieve long-term income stability through diversified, well-managed solutions.”
The multi-asset income solutions aim to deliver sustainable and consistent high-income payouts by adopting a differentiated strategy that prioritises income generation over equity appreciation. This is achieved by leveraging a diverse range of global income sources, including both traditional and non-traditional income assets, such as preferred securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and option writing. This approach focuses on managing volatility, enhancing income, and maintaining performance, enabling the solution to provide stable yields while emphasising on downside protection.
