Its primary function is to generate a high level of current income for shareholders, with capital appreciation serving as a secondary objective. Under typical market conditions, the fund allocates at least 80% of its assets to U.S. and foreign bonds rated BB or below, or to their unrated equivalents, reflecting its focus on credit sectors with higher risk and potential yield. The fund maintains a well-diversified portfolio, typically holding nearly 400 securities across various industries, issuers, and geographic regions. Notable holdings often include bonds from energy, entertainment, technology, and industrial companies. Its portfolio is primarily comprised of corporate bonds, but may include a mix of preferred and convertible securities as well as a modest allocation to non-U.S. issuers. With over $1 billion in net assets, John Hancock High Yield Fund Class A plays a significant role in the high-yield bond market by offering investors access to enhanced income possibilities and sector diversification. The fund’s returns and risk profile are shaped by experienced management that integrates fundamental credit analysis and relative value assessments in its investment process.
