About USLIX
John Hancock U.S. Global Leaders Growth Fund Class I is an actively managed mutual fund focused on achieving long-term capital growth. The fund primarily invests at least 80% of its assets in large-cap U.S. companies recognized for their strong market positions and substantial growth potential. Emphasizing a quality-focused, research-driven approach, it targets firms that are leaders within their respective industries, often operating in rapidly expanding sectors. The portfolio is designed to concentrate on businesses with robust earnings growth, superior sales, and healthy cash flows, typically resulting in higher valuations and lower dividend yields, as is characteristic of large-growth funds. By benchmarking its performance against indices like the Russell 1000 Growth Index, the fund seeks to deliver competitive returns relative to the broader market. Its role in the financial market is to provide investors with access to high-quality growth companies, making it especially relevant for those seeking exposure to established industry leaders with the potential for above-average expansion.
