C000127065 Investment Objective and Strategy
Global Equity Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Funds II.
Investment objective
To seek long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The fund seeks to generate capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. Under normal market conditions, at least 40% of the value of the fund's net assets will be invested in securities of issuers domiciled outside of the United States, including in emerging markets. This includes securities of foreign issuers that trade on U.S. exchanges. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks and their equivalents, including depositary receipts, warrants, rights, and convertible securities. The fund may invest in securities of any market-capitalization. The manager employs an unconstrained, bottom-up stock selection process based on fundamental research to attempt to identify undervalued companies that exhibit attractive valuations, solid business franchises, sustainable margins/cash flow, disciplined capital allocation, strong management teams, and strong balance sheets.
The manager considers diversification benefits and liquidity of the security in making investment decisions.
