About JBAFX

John Hancock Balanced Fund Class R4 is a balanced mutual fund designed to offer a blend of growth and income by investing in both equity and fixed income securities. The fund is managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC, with co-management by Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC.
