About JMADX
John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio is a mutual fund focused on providing a high level of current income by investing primarily in below-investment-grade, or high-yield, corporate bonds. The portfolio is broadly diversified, typically holding over 180 different securities, and allocates at least 80% of its assets to non-investment-grade debt issued by corporations rated as low as CC by S&P and Ca by Moody’s, or their unrated equivalents. Notably, the fund emphasizes sectors such as energy, consumer discretionary, industrials, and financial services, which together make up a significant portion of its holdings.
The portfolio’s quality composition is concentrated in bonds rated BB and B, with smaller allocations to BBB, CCC, and below. Its sector allocation reflects a strong weighting toward companies with cyclical exposure, including energy (approximately 19-20%), consumer discretionary (18-20%), and industrials (13-15%). The fund maintains a relatively high portfolio turnover rate—recently around 56% per year—allowing adaptability to shifting market conditions. Yield levels are notably elevated relative to investment-grade peers, aligning with the fund's objective and risk profile; typical distribution yields stand around 7% annually. This fund plays a role in the market by offering diversified access to high-yield corporate debt, suitable for investors seeking income from credit markets within a managed fund structure.
