About JIREX

John Hancock Real Estate Securities Fund Class 1 is a mutual fund focused on providing a combination of **long-term capital appreciation and current income** by primarily investing in real estate securities. At least 80% of the fund's net assets are allocated to equity securities of real estate investment trusts (REITs) and other real estate operating companies. The fund targets a diversified portfolio of REITs spanning various sectors, including industrial, residential, healthcare, and retail properties. Key holdings often include leading REITs such as Prologis Inc., Equinix Inc., and Welltower Inc., with the top ten positions accounting for a significant portion of total assets. Designed for investors seeking exposure to the real estate sector through publicly traded securities, the fund plays a specialized role in the market by offering income potential—reflected in its yield—and the opportunity to participate in real estate market growth without direct property ownership. It is managed with a mid-blend investment style, balancing value and growth opportunities within the real estate industry. The fund's performance and risk profile are typically compared to benchmarks like the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT Index and the S&P 500, providing context for its returns relative to broader equities and real estate-specific indices.
