About JSNCX
John Hancock Short Duration Bond Fund Class C is an actively managed mutual fund focused on generating high current income while maintaining a short interest-rate profile. The fund primarily invests in a diversified mix of U.S. government and agency securities, corporate bonds and debentures, and mortgage- and asset-backed securities, seeking to keep average duration under three years to help buffer rate volatility. It commits at least 65% of assets to investment‑grade debt, with the flexibility to allocate up to 35% to below‑investment‑grade bonds to broaden income opportunities within prudent risk limits. Designed for the short-term bond segment, it emphasizes quality and diversification, with portfolio turnover historically around the mid‑70% range reflecting active positioning. Managed by an experienced fixed‑income team at John Hancock Investment Management, the strategy aims to balance income generation with capital preservation over shorter horizons. The fund distributes income monthly and has been offered in multiple share classes since its 2019 inception, serving investors seeking a core short-duration bond allocation to reduce interest‑rate sensitivity while maintaining steady income potential.
