About JCVCX
John Hancock Classic Value Fund Class C is an open-end equity mutual fund managed by John Hancock Investment Management, with co-management by Pzena Investment Management. The fund primarily seeks long-term capital growth by investing at least 80% of its net assets in the equity securities of U.S. companies, emphasizing large-cap firms considered undervalued relative to their intrinsic worth based on future earnings and cash flow projections. It employs a value investing strategy, targeting shares with valuation ratios such as price-to-book below the market average, and benchmarks its performance against the Russell 1000 Value Index and the broader Russell 1000 Index. The portfolio is diversified across multiple sectors and may allocate up to 20% of assets to foreign equities, including depositary receipts. Notably, the fund integrates fundamental analysis and proprietary research in its stock selection process and may give preference to companies demonstrating socially conscious business practices and environmental responsibility. Designed for investors seeking potential value-driven appreciation, the fund plays a significant role within the large value mutual fund category, offering sector diversification and exposure to established U.S. companies.
