Canada’s Manulife is close to buying the Hong Kong pension fund owned by Britain’s Standard Chartered. The Globe and Mail reports that the insurer is set to pay around $400 million to complete the deal, which would move Manulife closer to its regional rival HSBC. The two firms dominate the growing pensions market in Hong Kong.
