About JHFMX

John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of interest income that is exempt from federal income tax. Its primary function is to invest at least 80% of its assets in municipal securities, with a distinct emphasis on medium- and lower-quality bonds—generally rated A or below by major credit agencies. This focus on non-investment-grade, or high-yield, municipal bonds gives the portfolio exposure to a higher level of credit risk in exchange for potentially higher yields, addressing the needs of investors seeking tax-advantaged income from a diversified array of municipal issuers. The fund’s assets span several sectors of the municipal bond market, tapping into infrastructure and essential service financings by state and local governments. It plays a specialized role in the fixed income market, offering investors access to segments of the municipal bond universe that may offer enhanced income opportunities, while also navigating the unique risks related to credit, market liquidity, and redemption during less favorable periods.
