About JIEMX
John Hancock Funds II Equity Income Fund Class 1 is an open-end mutual fund designed to provide investors with income and the potential for capital appreciation by focusing on large-cap value equities. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities, with a substantial portion—at least 65%—allocated to common stocks of well-established, diversified U.S. companies that exhibit lower valuations and higher dividend yields compared to other large-cap stocks. This approach targets firms considered undervalued or exhibiting slower growth rates, aligning with the fund’s large-value category designation. Managed by John Linehan since 2015, the fund stands out for its emphasis on income generation and lower relative risk, distributing dividends quarterly and capital gains annually. Its portfolio is moderately concentrated, with the top 10 holdings typically representing less than 20% of the total assets. John Hancock Funds II Equity Income Fund Class 1 plays a key role in diversifying investment portfolios, especially for those seeking a blend of current income and exposure to value-oriented U.S. equities within the broader market landscape.
