About JGYIX

John Hancock Global Shareholder Yield Fund Class I is a global equity mutual fund that seeks to provide investors with a high level of income as its primary objective, while also pursuing capital appreciation as a secondary goal. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in equity securities of dividend-paying companies across developed and emerging markets worldwide, ensuring broad geographic and sectoral diversification. It typically holds positions in large-cap companies with strong free cash flow and a history of attractive dividend yields, and maintains at least 40% of its assets in non-U.S. companies, with some allocation to emerging market issuers. The fund employs a mix of bottom-up and top-down fundamental analysis to identify opportunities, and includes consideration of companies with socially responsible practices. It benchmarks its performance against the MSCI World Index and is tailored for investors seeking consistent global dividend income with some growth potential. Managed by John Hancock Investment Management with Epoch Investment Partners as subadvisor, the fund plays a key role in portfolios designed to balance income generation with exposure to global equity markets.
