Manulife does not specify a minimum deposit requirement for most of its banking and savings accounts, such as Manulife account products. However, for some of its investment products, like ILAS, there may be a minimum premium or contribution required to activate the policy. From my perspective, this flexibility is beneficial for new savers who might not have large sums to deposit upfront. It makes Manulife investments accessible for people with varying financial capabilities. However, those looking for more sophisticated investment products should inquire about any minimum investment levels that apply to specific plans, as these might differ from product to product.
