STIBX Investment Objective and Strategy
John Hancock Income Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Strategic Series.
Investment objective
To seek a high level of current income.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests primarily in the following types of securities: foreign government and corporate debt securities from developed and emerging markets, U.S. government and agency securities, and domestic high-yield bonds. The fund may also invest in preferred securities and other types of debt securities, including mortgage- and asset-backed securities and loans. Some loans may be illiquid. Although the fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in securities rated as low as D (in default) by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services (S&P) or Moody's Investors Service, Inc. (Moody's) (or their unrated equivalents), it generally intends to keep its average credit quality in the investment-grade range (AAA to BBB). The fund's investment policies are based on credit ratings at the time of purchase.
There is no limit on the fund's average maturity. The manager allocates assets among the three major types of securities based on analysis of economic factors such as projected international interest-rate movements, industry cycles, and political trends. The manager may invest up to 100% of the fund's assets in any one sector. In making investment decisions, the manager looks at relative yield, credit quality, structure, industry distribution, and risk/reward ratios, among other factors. The fund may use certain higher-risk investments, including restricted or illiquid securities and derivatives. Derivatives may be used to reduce risk, obtain efficient market exposure, and/or enhance investment returns, and may include futures contracts on securities, indexes, and foreign currency; options on futures contracts, securities, indexes, and foreign currency; interest-rate, foreign currency, and credit default swaps; and foreign currency forward contracts.
The fund may invest up to 10% of its net assets in domestic or foreign common stocks. The fund may trade securities actively.
