About JHAAX
John Hancock Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund Class A is an alternative mutual fund designed to deliver long-term total returns through a diversified global multi-asset approach. Its primary function is to exploit market cyclicality and inefficiencies across a broad spectrum of asset classes, encompassing both equity and fixed-income securities. This strategy seeks to maximize risk-adjusted absolute returns, distinguishing itself from traditional funds that benchmark against specific indices. The fund is not restricted to a single region or asset class, making it adaptable to varied market environments and economic cycles. Managed by the John Hancock Group, it reflects a robust investment philosophy that combines in-house expertise with specialized external asset managers. Since its inception in December 2011, the fund has positioned itself as a tool for investors aiming to diversify portfolios and seek return opportunities uncorrelated to conventional equity and bond markets. Its focus on absolute return strategies makes it particularly relevant for those seeking to hedge against market volatility and pursue steady performance regardless of market direction.
