About JBGAX
John Hancock Funds II Blue Chip Growth Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth, with current income as a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of large and medium-sized high-quality U.S. companies—commonly referred to as 'blue chips'—that are poised for above-average growth. This approach targets some of the largest and most established businesses, particularly those excelling in sectors such as technology, healthcare, communication services, and consumer discretionary. The portfolio tends to concentrate its assets in industry-leading names like Microsoft, NVIDIA, Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet, emphasizing innovation and market leadership. Positioned within the large growth category, the fund aims to capitalize on the robust earnings potential and stability characteristic of blue chip companies, making it an instrument with significance for investors seeking exposure to high-caliber U.S. growth stocks while still maintaining a degree of diversification within the large-cap segment.
