About JTBDX

John Hancock Municipal Opportunities Fund Class I is an open-end mutual fund primarily focused on generating a high level of interest income that is exempt from federal income tax, while aiming to preserve capital. The fund mainly invests in municipal bonds issued by various state and local governments across the United States, which are used to finance public projects such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. While the majority of its holdings are in investment grade bonds at purchase, the fund may allocate up to 35% of its assets to non-investment grade securities, allowing for a broader opportunity set within the municipal bond market. This fund diversifies its risk exposure by spreading investments across a variety of states and sectors, with a typical duration of 4 to 6 years. Income from the portfolio is generally free from federal taxes, making it especially attractive to investors seeking tax-advantaged income. The fund's structure and management approach position it as a core offering in the municipal intermediate bond category, impacting sectors like public utilities, education, and healthcare by supporting essential community projects.
