C000141739 Investment Objective and Strategy
New Opportunities 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 long-term capital appreciation.
Principal investment strategy
The fund invests primarily in equity securities of companies considered small-capitalization companies by the fund's managers. The fund also invests in mid-cap and micro-cap companies and reserves the right to invest in companies of any market-capitalization including large-cap companies. Market-capitalization classification is determined at the time of purchase by each manager using its own investment criteria. The market-capitalization of individual portfolio securities and the fund's portfolio as a whole will vary over time as market conditions change. The fund invests in equity securities, including common stock, preferred stock and equity-equivalent securities or instruments whose values are based on common stocks, such as convertible securities, rights, warrants or options (stock or stock index), futures contracts (stock or stock index), and index swaps.
The fund employs a multi style and multi manager approach in which portions of the fund's assets are allocated to different managers that employ distinct investment styles. The fund currently has three managers. The fund's advisor provides or oversees the provision of all investment advisory and portfolio management services for the fund, including overseeing the investment allocation for the fund and managing the fund's overall portfolio characteristics, including investment style exposures. The advisor selects managers for the fund, allocates fund assets among and oversees those managers, and evaluates their performance results. The managers select the individual portfolio securities for the assets assigned to them. The advisor considers various characteristics of the manager's portfolio when allocating assets: market capitalization, growth and profitability, valuation, sector weightings, and earnings and price volatility.
The advisor also considers the correlation between the managers' historical and expected investment returns. Since the advisor will rebalance the fund only periodically, the actual portion of the fund managed by each manager at any given time will vary. The fund may invest in and potentially emphasize any economic sector. The fund may also invest in growth or value equity securities. Growth securities are securities a manager believes will experience relatively rapid earnings growth. Value securities, on the other hand, are securities a manager believes are selling at prices below their fundamental value. The fund also may invest in: (a) securities of foreign issuers, including foreign issuers located in emerging markets, either directly through investments in foreign currency-denominated securities traded outside of the United States or indirectly through depositary receipts; (b) real estate investment trusts (REITs); (c) initial public offerings (IPOs); and (d) master limited partnerships (MLPs).
The fund may invest in derivatives such as swaps, options, futures contracts, or options on futures contracts to gain market exposure, to adjust market exposure, or to maintain liquidity to pay redemptions. The fund may invest in foreign currency forward contracts to manage the fund's exposure to foreign currency. The fund also may invest in investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for the purpose of gaining exposure to equity markets while maintaining liquidity.
