About JESIX

The John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust Small Cap Index Trust is an open-end variable annuity mutual fund designed to track the performance of the Russell 2000 Index. It primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of small-capitalization companies within the U.S. market, specifically those within the capitalization range defined by the Russell 2000 Index. The fund applies a full replication technique, meaning it aims to hold all—or a representative sample—of the securities in the index, seeking to closely approximate the total return of this benchmark. As a small-blend portfolio, the fund covers both value and growth stocks, providing broad exposure to the smallest 10% of the U.S. equity universe, which often includes firms with more limited product lines or resources compared to larger counterparts. This exposure can offer investors diversification and access to high-growth potential sectors while also entailing greater price volatility and liquidity risk. The fund serves as a core option within variable insurance products, helping policyholders gain targeted small-cap equity exposure as part of a diversified investment strategy.
