C000122208 Investment Objective and Strategy
Asia Pacific Total Return Bond Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Funds II.
Investment objective
The fund seeks to maximize total return. Total return, commonly understood as the combination of income and capital appreciation, includes interest, capital gains, dividends and distributions realized over a given period of time.
Principal investment strategy
The fund seeks to generate capital appreciation and income by investing at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of bonds issued by governments, government agencies, international organizations issuing supranational bonds, and corporate issuers in Asia. Asia means those countries that are located on the Asian continent or are in the Asian region, including Australia and New Zealand. An issuer is considered to be in Asia if its principal place of business is in Asia or it is incorporated or domiciled in Asia or, for supranational issuers, its securities are denominated in Asian currencies. The fund may invest in fixed-income securities of other issuers outside Asia if the manager considers that such securities may help to achieve the fund's investment objective.
The fund may invest in cash and other liquid short-term fixed-income securities when the manager believes that the fund could benefit from maintaining a higher cash exposure, including for temporary defensive purposes. The fund may invest in investment-grade fixed-income securities and below-investment-grade fixed-income securities (junk bonds). The fund may invest in securities of any maturity, and there is no limit on the maturities of the fixed-income securities in which the fund may invest. There is no limit on the types of issuers in which the fund may invest, which may include issuers of U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign governments and corporations, mortgage-related securities, municipal obligations, asset-backed securities, mortgage-backed securities, pay-in-kind bonds, high-yield bonds, emerging-market debt, distressed investments, loan participations, and U.S.
TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities). The fund may invest in securities with debt/equity characteristics such as preferred shares, convertible bonds, and warrants. The fund may also use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management purposes by utilizing futures, options, options on futures, foreign currency forward contracts, and nondeliverable forwards. The fund is a non-diversified fund, which means that it may invest in a smaller number of issuers than a diversified fund and may invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer.
