About JAEPX
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Small Cap Value Trust Series I is an equity-focused investment portfolio designed primarily for variable insurance contracts, such as variable annuities and variable life policies. This fund targets long-term capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies, typically those within the market capitalization range of the Russell 2000 Index. The fund emphasizes a value investing approach, seeking companies that are undervalued by various traditional financial measures and exhibit slower growth rates and lower valuations compared to their peers. While its core holdings are U.S. small-cap stocks, the portfolio may allocate up to 15% of its assets to foreign securities to provide additional diversification. Managed by John Hancock, the fund plays a significant role in portfolios seeking exposure to the small-cap value segment of the equity market, offering potential for capital growth while navigating the unique risks and opportunities presented by smaller, undervalued companies.
