Sun Life Financial Inc (SLF) seems to be experiencing a mixed response among experts. While some express caution regarding its shift from traditional lifeco operations to mutual funds, citing concerns over market beta and private credit losses, others appreciate the company's restructuring efforts and growing asset management business, especially in Asia. The company's price-to-earnings (PE) ratio is competitive compared to Canadian banks, and while some analysts mention it trades at a fair value, the expected growth remains modest. The general sentiment leans towards a hold or cautious buy, with mentions of specific target prices indicating potential upside for long-term investors.
