JRLBX Investment Objective and Strategy
Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Funds II.
Investment objective
To seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
The fund operates as a fund of funds and, except as otherwise described below, normally invests approximately 40% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities and approximately 60% of its assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities. Variations in the target percentage allocation between underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities are permitted up to 10% in either direction. Thus, based on its target percentage allocation of approximately 60% of its assets in equity underlying funds and 40% of its assets in fixed-income underlying funds, the fund may have an equity/fixed-income underlying funds allocation ranging between 70%/30% and 50%/50%. Although variations beyond the 10% range are generally not permitted, the managers may determine, in light of market or economic conditions, that the normal percentage limitations should be exceeded to protect the fund or achieve its goal.
The fund may invest in various underlying funds that, as a group, hold a wide range of equity-type securities. These include small-, mid-, and large-capitalization stocks; domestic and foreign securities (including emerging-market securities); and sector holdings. Each of these underlying funds has its own investment strategy that, for example, may focus on growth stocks or value stocks or may employ a strategy combining growth and income stocks and/or may invest in derivatives, such as options on securities and futures contracts. Certain of the underlying funds in which the fund invests focus their investment strategy on fixed-income securities, which may include investment-grade and below-investment-grade debt securities with maturities that range from short to longer term. The fixed-income underlying funds collectively hold various types of debt instruments, such as corporate bonds and mortgage-backed, government-issued, domestic, and international securities.
The fund may invest in affiliated and nonaffiliated investment companies. In addition to investing in exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the fund may also invest in U.S. government securities and derivatives, such as credit default swaps and options on equity index futures, interest-rate swaps, and foreign currency forward contracts, in each case for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure, and/or enhancing investment returns. The fund may also directly invest in exchange-traded notes (ETNs). The fund is also authorized to use various other investment strategies such as investing directly in fixed-income and equity securities, closed-end funds, and partnerships, and short-selling securities.
