USLBX Investment Objective and Strategy
U.S. Global Leaders Growth Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Capital Series.
Investment objective
To seek long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of the fund's net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) will be invested in common stocks of companies the subadvisor regards as U.S. Global Leaders. The manager considers U.S. Global Leaders to be U.S. companies with multinational operations that typically exhibit the following key sustainable growth characteristics: (i) hold leading market shares of their relevant industries that result in higher profit margins and high investment returns; and (ii) supply consumable products or services so that their revenue streams are recurring. The manager seeks to identify companies with superior long-term earnings prospects and will hold them as long as the manager believes they are not overvalued and their prospects for capital growth remain favorable.
As a result of its investment strategy, the fund typically invests in large-capitalization companies (companies in the capitalization range of the S&P 500 Index, $3.4 billion to $859.9 billion as of December 31, 2017). The fund may focus on a particular sector or sectors of the economy. The fund may invest in other types of equity securities, including up to 20% of its net assets in foreign companies and in U.S.-traded securities of large-capitalization, well-established foreign issuers.
