About JABIX
John Hancock Real Estate Securities R6 is a mutual fund designed to offer investors exposure to the real estate sector through equity investments. Its primary function is to achieve a combination of long-term capital appreciation and current income by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and real estate companies. These equities may include common stock, preferred stock, and securities convertible into common stock. Up to 10% of total assets may be allocated to foreign real estate companies, adding an element of global diversification. The fund is categorized as non-diversified, meaning it can invest more heavily in a limited number of issuers.
John Hancock Real Estate Securities R6 is managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC, with a focus on sectors such as healthcare, industrial, residential, retail, and specialized REITs. Notably, its holdings often feature prominent real estate firms like Equinix, Welltower, and Prologis. The fund plays a significant role for investors seeking dedicated real estate sector exposure within a broader portfolio, offering the potential for both capital growth and income generation through dividends typical of REITs.
