About JSNAX

John Hancock Short Duration Bond Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income while maintaining a conservative interest-rate profile. The strategy invests predominantly in U.S. fixed income, including corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, and securitized assets such as mortgage‑backed and asset‑backed bonds, with an average duration kept under roughly three years to help buffer rate volatility. The portfolio emphasizes investment‑grade quality—at least about two‑thirds of assets—while retaining flexibility to allocate a minority sleeve to below‑investment‑grade issues for incremental income, subject to strict risk controls. The fund distributes income monthly and typically holds several hundred positions to diversify issuer and sector exposure across financials, industrials, Treasuries, and securitized credit. Positioned within the short‑term bond category, it serves investors seeking high‑quality income and reduced sensitivity to interest‑rate movements, implemented by an experienced multi‑manager fixed‑income team at John Hancock Investment Management.
