About JAERX
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Small Company Value Fund Series II is an equity fund designed to serve as an underlying investment option within variable insurance products. Its primary focus is on small-capitalization companies, defined as firms falling within the Russell 2000 Index’s market capitalization range, which had an upper limit of $15.88 billion as of December 31, 2023. The fund applies a value-oriented approach, seeking out small companies whose stocks appear undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth or long-term potential. Effective October 2024, the fund transitioned to a non-diversified status, allowing it to concentrate investments in fewer issuers, potentially leading to increased exposure to individual company or sector risks compared to diversified funds. The fund’s core objective is long-term capital appreciation, making it a key component for variable insurance contracts focused on growth through exposure to the small-cap value segment of the U.S. equity market. Through its specialized mandate, the fund provides policyholders access to the dynamic potential of small-cap equities, while its non-diversified structure enables distinct portfolio positioning within the broader financial landscape.
