About JMKAX
John Hancock Funds II Emerging Markets Debt Fund Class A is an open-end mutual fund focused on fixed-income investments from issuers within emerging markets. The fund’s primary objective is to achieve total return, emphasizing both current income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its assets in fixed-income securities and debt instruments from emerging-market countries. Its portfolio typically includes sovereign, quasi-sovereign, and corporate issuers, reflecting a diversified approach to capture opportunities across varying sectors and geographies in the emerging markets landscape. The fund employs a combination of macroeconomic analysis and in-depth industry research to strategically anticipate shifts in global business cycles and adjust country allocations accordingly. Launched in 2010, it serves investors seeking exposure to the risk-return profiles characteristic of emerging market debt, offering monthly income distributions. With over 220 holdings and a moderate expense ratio, the fund plays a significant role in providing access to higher-yielding fixed income opportunities, often with differentiated risk drivers compared to developed market bonds, thereby contributing diversification benefits to broader fixed income or multi-asset portfolios.
