About JHBIX

The John Hancock Bond Fund Class I is an institutional share class of a mutual fund specializing in fixed income investments. Its primary objective is to provide total return by investing at least 80% of its net assets in a diversified portfolio of bonds, including U.S. Treasuries, agency securities, corporate bonds, and mortgage-backed securities. The fund is categorized as an intermediate core-plus bond fund, meaning it offers exposure not only to investment-grade bonds but also has latitude to invest in securities with varying credit qualities and some non-core sectors to enhance return potential. Emphasizing rigorous credit research and active management, the fund maintains a moderate credit quality and interest rate sensitivity, making it suitable for investors seeking a balance between income generation and risk control. With a substantial asset base (total assets over $25 billion), it has notable allocations to U.S. government securities, especially Treasury bonds and notes, which provide liquidity and stability. The fund’s effective duration is typically in the medium range, reflecting its approach to managing interest rate risk. John Hancock Bond Fund Class I serves as a core fixed income holding for institutional investors, providing diversified bond market exposure while integrating active tactical shifts to navigate changing market environments.
