Has pulled back affected by both the Marsh/McLennan scandal in the US and their recent numbers which were slightly disappointing. A high degree of safety.

Integration of John Hancock has gone very well. Not affected by the US commission scandal. A global company.

STRONG BUY

5% pullback on perceived disappointing earnings is an opportunity to buy. A world class company. Could be a crossover merger with a bank in the future. Should continue having a 15% growth.

A good growth strategy, especialyy their John Hancock acquisition. Great international operation out of Asia.

A great business at a fair price. Around 15 X this year's earnings. Wouldn't buy at this price.

Will buy if it drops a little.

Outlook continues to be good for the life insurance companies. Manulife and Power Financial are his favourites in non-bank financials..

Well diversified globally. Japan's operation is now profitable and growing rapidly. Excellant management. John Hancock acquisition was a good move.

World class company. Steady grower which has accelerated through their acquisition of John Hancock. May be a little extended and could pull back a little. A long term hold.

Stay with this company. Going to be more upside.

A quality company. Well diversified. A buy and hold stock.

STRONG BUY

Hancock aquisition is going to be very positive. Likes the US exposure. Could be a 8/10% annual return not including the dividend.
