About JSTCX

John Hancock Income Fund Class C is a multisector bond mutual fund designed to generate income by flexibly allocating across global fixed-income markets. The strategy invests in U.S. government and agency securities, domestic high-yield bonds, and foreign government and corporate debt from both developed and emerging markets, allowing the portfolio to adapt to shifting interest-rate and credit conditions. The fund may concentrate up to 100% in any of these sectors based on the manager’s assessment of macroeconomic factors such as rate trajectories, industry cycles, and geopolitical trends, and can allocate a small portion to common stocks when warranted. Managed by Manulife Investment Management, the fund emphasizes diversified exposure across credit qualities and geographies to balance income and risk. It distributes income monthly and maintains an intermediate interest-rate profile typical of its category. Launched in 1998, the fund’s long operating history and broad opportunity set position it as a core-plus income option for investors seeking a flexible approach to fixed income within the multisector bond space.
