Rumours aside, Manulife's merger options are few

Article Abstract:

Manufacturers Life Insurance's (Manulife) merger options are limited until such time that it will undergo demutualization or convert into a stock company. Since the firm has no publicly traded shares, it can not pay a company with a stock or merge via a stock swap. Although Manulife can raise its debt to fund a cash deal, this process is quite tedious and difficult since federal regulators would ensure that the firm has a solid balance sheet and credit rating before permitting the firm to take the loan. Unless Manulife goes public soon, the firm's plan to purchase Canada Trust will just have to wait.
