Likes the insurance sector. Between Manulife and Sun Life, Sun is probably the better deal now as it recently took a hit in the US with their mutual funds.

Acquisition of John Hancock puts a real presence into the US.

John Hancock acquisition is a very good story. Don't feel they're done with acquisitions yet. A good play.

Life-insurance companies will benefit from rising interest rates through their big bond portfolios.
