The insurer says adjusted earnings, or what it calls core earnings, came in at $2 billion during the fourth quarter, rising five per cent from $1.9 billion a year earlier. 

Core earnings for Manulife’s Asia segment came in at US$564 million during the period, while core earnings for its Canada segment came in at $413 million. Both results were slightly better than a year earlier.
