About JRLWX
The John Hancock 2050 Lifetime Blend Portfolio is a target-date mutual fund designed to help investors prepare for retirement around the year 2050. Its primary function is to provide a diversified, one-stop investment solution that automatically adjusts its asset allocation over time—a feature known as a glide path. Early in its lifecycle, the portfolio is heavily weighted toward growth-oriented assets such as domestic and international equities, aiming to maximize long-term total return. As the target date approaches and into retirement, the fund gradually shifts toward a more conservative mix, increasing its focus on income-generating and lower-volatility assets, such as bonds and cash equivalents, to help preserve capital and support withdrawals.
The portfolio operates as a fund of funds, primarily investing in a selection of both actively and passively managed underlying funds across a broad range of asset classes and global markets. Notable holdings include large U.S. equities, international equities, mid- and small-cap stocks, emerging markets exposure, and fixed income instruments. By dynamically adjusting its asset mix, the John Hancock 2050 Lifetime Blend Portfolio facilitates long-term retirement planning for investors seeking an all-in-one investment vehicle tailored to their anticipated retirement timeframe.
