About JAGFX
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Ultra Short Term Bond Trust is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income while maintaining liquidity and preserving capital. As an ultra short-term bond fund, it primarily invests in high-quality, investment-grade fixed income securities with very short maturities, typically positioned on the spectrum between money market funds and traditional short-term bond funds. This structure aims to deliver modest yields above those of cash or money market instruments while keeping interest rate and credit risk tightly controlled. The fund’s portfolio commonly includes a diverse array of short-dated corporate and government bonds, and its focus on ultra short-term maturities helps reduce sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations. This asset is especially relevant for investors seeking a low-volatility vehicle for cash management, temporary capital allocation, or as a defensive component within a broader fixed income strategy. Its market significance lies in balancing safety and liquidity with incremental return, aligning with the cash management needs of both individual and institutional investors.
