Manulife secondaries?

Curious if this group ever took off? I know they hired two ex Houlihan advisors to launch a GP led strategy but I haven't seen them active on any deals. Curious if anyone knows if they ever raised a fund or are just investing off their balance sheet? Heard that one of the guys was a well connected banker but I'm not sure if this translated well into a decent principal in the space.

Heard they kicked off fundraising last year and invested on deal-by-deal basis - things could be totally different now
