About JESNX
JHVIT Strategic Income Opportunities Trust Class I is a multisector bond fund designed to deliver a high level of current income with secondary emphasis on capital appreciation. The portfolio employs a flexible, all‑weather approach, tactically allocating across investment‑grade and high‑yield corporate bonds, U.S. government and agency securities, foreign sovereign debt, securitized assets, and selective convertibles to navigate changing market conditions. Its mandate allows active management of duration, credit quality, and currency exposures, seeking diversified sources of income across global fixed‑income markets. The fund’s holdings often span a broad quality spectrum—from AAA and U.S. government obligations through BBB and below‑investment‑grade tiers—reflecting its opportunistic, risk‑aware positioning within the multisector category. Managed by an experienced team at John Hancock Investment Management and subadvisors, the strategy emphasizes dynamic sector rotation and rigorous risk management to balance yield opportunities with downside protection. Within the retirement and insurance platforms where it is offered, the fund serves as a core income diversifier, complementing traditional aggregate bond exposures and providing broader credit and geographic reach.
