About JFHYX
John Hancock High Yield Fund Class R6 is a mutual fund focused on generating high current income, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The fund primarily invests in a diversified portfolio of U.S. and foreign fixed-income securities rated below investment grade (BB or lower), commonly referred to as high-yield or 'junk' bonds. By seeking opportunities across sectors such as technology, energy, communications, and entertainment, the fund aims to capture higher yields that compensate for the increased credit risk associated with lower-rated issuers. A hallmark of this fund is its active management approach, which blends top-down macroeconomic analysis with bottom-up fundamental credit research to assess relative value and construct the portfolio. As of the most recent report, the fund holds several hundred securities, with major allocations to U.S. corporate bonds and a meaningful presence in non-U.S. issuers and preferred securities. The fund’s monthly income distributions appeal to investors seeking regular cash flow, while its risk profile sits in line with the broader high-yield bond category. With a competitive expense ratio, John Hancock High Yield Fund Class R6 plays a notable role in offering institutional and retirement plans access to the high-yield segment of the fixed-income market.
