About JHARX

The John Hancock Multi-Asset Absolute Return Fund Class R2 is a multi-asset mutual fund designed to achieve positive absolute returns across varying market environments. Its primary objective is to maximize risk-adjusted, absolute return rather than simply outperforming traditional benchmarks. The fund employs a highly flexible investment approach, allocating capital dynamically among a broad array of global asset classes, including U.S. and international equities, government and corporate bonds, high-yield securities, and cash equivalents. Notably, the fund extensively utilizes derivative instruments—such as futures, options, and swaps—for both investment and hedging purposes, providing the ability to manage exposure, control risk, and respond quickly to market changes. There are no restrictions on credit quality, market capitalization, or maturity, allowing the fund to access opportunities in both developed and emerging markets and across the credit spectrum. Positioned within the tactical allocation category, the fund is intended for investors seeking a portfolio solution that can adapt to changing market conditions while prioritizing capital preservation and risk control over a multi-year horizon.
