MAS Insurance Company Return · FY2021

Manulife

As filed with the Monetary Authority of Singapore. This page mirrors the insurer's own statutory return: the balance sheet (Form A1), the revenue account (Form A2) and capital adequacy (Form A4). Every figure is broken out by insurance fund, with the company total in the last column — a fund figure is not the company's. Amounts in Singapore dollars, exactly as filed.

MAS changed the capital framework from FY2020 (RBC1 → RBC2) and risk requirements are computed differently under each. The step at the changeover is a change of basis, not a fall in capital — do not read the two as one series.
