About JIEQX

The John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust International Equity Index Fund I is a mutual fund designed to provide diversified exposure to global equity markets outside the United States. Its primary objective is to track the performance of the MSCI All Country World Excluding U.S. Index, offering investors broad access to developed and emerging market equities around the world. The fund typically invests at least 80% of its assets in international equity securities, capturing a wide range of sectors and geographic regions. This approach enables the fund to mirror the performance of a comprehensive set of foreign companies, with notable holdings often including large, established firms such as Nestle, ASML Holding, Roche, and AstraZeneca. Aimed primarily at serving as an investment option within variable insurance products, it plays a significant role in helping investors achieve international diversification within their broader portfolios. The fund also maintains a relatively low expense ratio and a modest turnover rate, aligning with its index-tracking strategy and passive management style.
