BOC HONG KONG (02388) has entered into a regional partnership with Manulife Investment to offer diversified asset income solutions to clients of BOC HONG KONG and Bank of China (Malaysia). This collaboration leverages both parties' sales networks and product strengths across Asia, aiming to provide investors with diversified asset allocation options.

Leung Suk-yee, Deputy General Manager of Personal Banking Products at BOC HONG KONG, noted that in the first half of this year, most of the bank's clients sought investment products with relatively stable risk profiles that could generate regular returns.
