About JSGAX

The John Hancock U.S. Growth Fund Class A is an actively managed mutual fund primarily targeting long-term capital appreciation by investing in a concentrated portfolio of large U.S. growth companies. Focused predominantly on the technology, consumer discretionary, and communications sectors, the fund’s strategy revolves around holding significant stakes in industry leaders—such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, and Alphabet—often resulting in top 10 holdings accounting for roughly 60% of its total assets. By emphasizing high-growth, large-capitalization equities, the fund aims to capture the potential of rapidly expanding businesses while offering exposure to the broader U.S. growth market. Managed by John Hancock Investment Management LLC with a subadvisory role by Wellington Management Company LLP, the fund is designed for investors seeking focused exposure to America’s most dynamic sectors. Its approach leads to a concentrated portfolio that may experience higher volatility than more diversified funds, reflecting its strategic intent of maximizing long-term returns within the large growth universe.
