Fund info

John Hancock Bond Fund Class C is a mutual fund that primarily invests in a broad mix of investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities. Its main purpose is to offer investors a high level of current income while maintaining prudent risk management. The fund is categorized as an intermediate core-plus bond portfolio, meaning it not only invests in traditional government and corporate bonds but also may allocate assets to non-core sectors such as high-yield (below investment grade) bonds, bank loans, emerging-market debt, and securities denominated in non-U.S. currencies. This additional flexibility aims to enhance income potential and diversify sources of return. The fund typically maintains a duration—a measure of interest rate sensitivity—similar to the broader intermediate bond market, balancing return and interest rate risk. Major holdings frequently include U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, but the fund's diversified approach allows exposure to a wide array of sectors within the bond market. John Hancock Bond Fund Class C distributes income to investors on a monthly basis and serves a key role for those seeking regular income and broad exposure to the U.S. fixed-income market within a single professionally managed portfolio.
