About JELGX
John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Managed Volatility Growth Portfolio I is an insurance-dedicated mutual fund designed to pursue long‑term capital growth while actively managing portfolio volatility. The strategy blends a multimanager equity allocation with a rules‑based volatility overlay that targets a specific volatility range, using equity index futures to dynamically adjust stock exposure as market conditions change. When forecasted volatility rises, the portfolio reduces equity exposure and raises cash; when volatility falls, it increases equity exposure to participate in upside. The approach also seeks to limit the magnitude of drawdowns, aiming to provide a smoother return path relative to traditional growth portfolios. The portfolio is overseen by John Hancock Asset Management with experienced managers and a track record for asset allocation across equities, fixed income, and alternatives. As part of the Variable Insurance Trust lineup, it serves policyholders seeking a growth‑oriented allocation with embedded risk controls, playing a role in stabilizing outcomes within variable annuity subaccounts and target‑risk frameworks.
Performance
