About FRBCX
John Hancock Regional Bank Fund Class C is a mutual fund dedicated to achieving long-term capital appreciation, with moderate income as a secondary goal. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of U.S. regional banks—financial institutions that operate mainly within specific regions, rather than on a nationwide scale. This focus provides targeted exposure to the U.S. banking and financial services sector, reflecting the economic dynamics and lending activities of regional markets. The fund employs fundamental analysis in its investment strategy and maintains a diversified portfolio, typically holding over 100 positions. With a minimum investment requirement and quarterly dividend distributions, John Hancock Regional Bank Fund Class C serves investors seeking growth potential from the regional banking segment while also offering periodic income. Its role in the market is to provide access to the performance of regional U.S. banks, a sector that can be influenced by interest rate changes, credit cycles, and regional economic trends.
