About JHTFX
John Hancock High Yield Municipal Bond Fund Class A is a mutual fund focused on delivering a high level of current income primarily through investments in U.S. municipal bonds classified as high-yield. Its central objective is to offer income that is largely exempt from federal income tax while maintaining an emphasis on capital preservation. The fund typically holds a diversified portfolio of municipal securities, many of which are below investment-grade or unrated, targeting issuers with the potential for enhanced yield compared to traditional municipal bonds. Distinguished by its monthly dividend payouts, the fund appeals to investors seeking regular tax-advantaged income streams. It holds hundreds of bond positions across a broad array of municipal sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, education, and essential public projects, thereby spreading credit risk across the market. Since its inception in 1993, the fund has become a fixture in the high-yield municipal bond category, providing critical financing capital to local and state governments in exchange for higher return potential. The fund maintains a moderate expense ratio and minimum investment threshold, making it accessible to a broad base of investors seeking municipal exposure and income efficiency.
