About JSTIX
John Hancock Income Fund Class I is a multisector bond mutual fund focused on delivering a high level of current income through a globally diversified fixed‑income portfolio. The strategy allocates across foreign government and corporate debt from both developed and emerging markets, U.S. government and agency securities, and domestic high‑yield bonds, with flexibility to overweight sectors based on macroeconomic views such as interest‑rate trends, industry cycles, and political developments. The fund may also hold a modest allocation to equities, up to 10% of net assets, to complement its income mandate. It is broadly diversified by issuer and geography, holding several hundred securities to manage credit and interest‑rate risk. Dividends are distributed monthly, reflecting its income orientation, while capital gains are typically paid annually. Positioned within the multisector bond category, John Hancock Income Fund Class I serves investors seeking a professionally managed, flexible fixed‑income core‑plus allocation that sources yield from multiple global segments and credit tiers under an active, macro‑informed process.
