About JEMIX

John Hancock Funds II Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund specializing in fixed-income investments across global emerging markets. The fund's primary objective is to achieve total return, with a particular emphasis on generating current income alongside capital appreciation. It seeks to accomplish this by investing at least 80% of its assets in debt securities issued by sovereign and corporate issuers from emerging market countries. This fund features a diversified portfolio comprised predominantly of bonds, with minimal exposure to equities, and includes holdings from regions such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Notable portfolio exposures include government and corporate bonds from countries like Indonesia, Egypt, Argentina, Qatar, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The fund employs a disciplined investment process based on economic and industry analysis to anticipate and respond to shifts in global and regional business cycles. Designed for institutional investors, the fund is distinguished by its relatively high minimum investment and competitive expense ratio. It provides monthly income distributions and focuses on delivering a steady yield while offering exposure to the growth prospects and credit dynamics of the emerging markets debt sector. This fund plays a significant role for investors seeking diversification and yield within fixed-income allocations tied to the evolving global landscape.
