About JAIZX
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Managed Volatility Growth Portfolio is a multi-asset variable insurance trust portfolio designed to pursue equity-like growth while targeting a more stable ride. The strategy employs a managed-volatility framework that dynamically adjusts equity exposure—using equity index futures and cash positioning—to keep portfolio volatility within a defined range and to help moderate drawdowns in turbulent markets. It follows a multimanager approach, drawing on internal and external specialists across equities, fixed income, and diversifying assets, with equity exposure flexed across a band to balance risk and return characteristics. The portfolio’s volatility control seeks to reduce the probability of extreme outcomes, potentially smoothing returns through market cycles while acknowledging that such programs can lag during strong risk-on periods. Managed by an experienced team at Manulife Investment Management/John Hancock, the portfolio plays a role in variable annuity lineups as a growth-oriented option with embedded risk management, aiming to preserve capital during severe declines yet participate in recoveries as conditions stabilize.
