About SVBCX

John Hancock Balanced Fund Class C is a balanced mutual fund designed to provide investors with a blend of income, long-term capital growth, and preservation of capital. Its strategy allocates assets across both equity and fixed income securities, maintaining at least 25% of its holdings in each category, and achieving broad diversification with over 1,000 individual positions. The equity component primarily features large-cap U.S. stocks, with notable holdings in sectors such as technology, consumer discretionary, and healthcare, while the fixed income segment includes investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds as well as U.S. government securities. Managed by a seasoned team, the fund employs a bottom-up approach to security selection, emphasizing fundamental research and collaborative idea generation. John Hancock Balanced Fund Class C plays a significant role in the moderate allocation category, aiming to deliver reduced volatility relative to equity-only investments by capturing upside in strong markets and dampening losses in downturns. Its quarterly dividend payouts and diversified structure make it a core holding for investors seeking a balanced approach to risk and return in their portfolios.
