About JCTFX

John Hancock High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class C is a fixed income mutual fund focused on generating a high level of current income, with the majority of distributions designed to be exempt from federal income tax. This fund primarily invests in below-investment-grade municipal securities—commonly known as "high-yield" or "junk" bonds—that are rated A or below by major credit agencies, or are unrated but deemed of similar quality. The portfolio is diversified across municipalities and sectors, notably including healthcare, special tax projects, and education. The fund may utilize derivatives and tender option bond transactions to manage risk and enhance returns, and employs a flexible approach to maturity, investing in bonds of any length. Its income is distributed monthly, appealing to investors seeking regular tax-advantaged income. With over 370 holdings and a long tenure since its 1999 inception, the fund serves as a specialized vehicle within the municipal bond market, offering exposure to higher-yielding segments with a heightened risk profile compared to investment-grade municipal bonds. Its role is to provide diversified high-yield municipal bond exposure, helping investors pursue income while navigating the unique risks of the high-yield muni sector.
