Hey there, time traveller!

TORONTO – Manulife Financial Corp. says first quarter earnings were down from last year because of the effects of a major reinsurance deal.
The insurance giant says its net income attributed to shareholders for the quarter ending March 31 was $866 million, down from $1.4 billion in the same quarter last year.
It says the results include the $800 million impact from a $13-billion reinsurance deal with Global Atlantic that it says included the largest long-term care reinsurance deal in history.
Manulife says the net earnings hit of the deal was broadly offset by a boost to other comprehensive income to make it neutral to book value.
It says core earnings were $1.75 billion, up from $1.53 billion last year.
Manulife says the reinsurance deal was done to reduce risk and redirect capital to growth areas.
