About JAFJX

John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Capital Appreciation Trust Series II is a mutual fund designed primarily for use as an underlying investment option within variable insurance products. The fund’s main objective is to seek capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, particularly those of small-capitalization companies that fall within the range of the Russell 2000 Index, with a maximum market capitalization of $15.88 billion as of December 2023. As of October 2024, the fund changed its structure from diversified to non-diversified, allowing it to concentrate its holdings in a smaller number of issuers, which can amplify both potential gains and risks. The fund may also gain exposure to equities through derivatives alongside direct investments. Its strategy positions it to capture growth in dynamic sectors of the U.S. economy, making it a relevant component for investors seeking equity exposure within variable insurance portfolios.
