About JAFWX

John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Short Term Government Income Trust Series II is an open-end bond fund within a variable insurance trust structure. Its primary objective is to deliver a high level of current income while emphasizing preservation of capital, with maintaining a stable share price as a secondary goal. The portfolio focuses on short-duration U.S. government and government agency securities, positioning the fund in the high-quality segment of the fixed income market where interest rate sensitivity is typically lower than intermediate- or long-term peers. Series II represents a share class designed for variable insurance platforms and carries an expense ratio historically disclosed around 0.92% in shareholder materials, reflecting insurance-dedicated administration and distribution features. The strategy’s short-term government focus provides exposure to policy-sensitive parts of the yield curve and can serve as a conservative fixed income allocation or liquidity sleeve within insurance subaccounts. By concentrating on short maturities backed by the U.S. government, the fund seeks consistent income and capital stability across market cycles while limiting credit risk relative to corporate bond categories.
