Calvin Chiu, Head of Asia Retirement, Manulife and Chief Executive Officer, Manulife Investment Management Hong Kong: “Longevity is reshaping how people across Asia think about retirement. We’re seeing people rethink what retirement means – not simply living longer, but living better. Financial independence, health, and well-being now define success in this new era of longevity … … People across Asia want to enjoy their extended lifespans with dignity, purpose, and freedom. That requires a shift in mindset – from saving for retirement to planning for longevity. Holding too much cash and relying solely on property can leave people vulnerable to inflation and income shortfalls. Building financial resilience means diversifying across income-generating and inflation- protected assets – and doing so early … … Professional advice can make all the difference. With the right guidance, people can move from simply saving to actively investing, giving them greater control over their future income and lifestyle. Longevity should be a source of optimism, not anxiety. With the right financial habits and guidance, people can turn longer lives into better lives – and that’s the vision driving our work at Manulife.”
