JHMD Profile
The John Hancock Multifactor Developed International ETF seeks to provide investors with exposure to a diversified portfolio of equity securities from developed markets outside the United States and Canada. The fund aims to achieve this by investing at least 80% of its net assets, including any borrowings for investment purposes, in securities that are part of its benchmark index. This includes investments in depositary receipts representing these securities and underlying stocks related to such receipts.
The index tracked by the fund is designed to capture a subset of securities from developed international markets, excluding North America. It focuses on equities that exhibit multifactor characteristics, which are selected based on factors such as value, quality, size, and momentum. By concentrating on these multifactor attributes, the fund seeks to enhance returns and reduce risk relative to traditional market-capitalization-weighted indices.
The fund employs a multifactor investment strategy, which involves selecting stocks based on a combination of fundamental and technical factors. This approach aims to identify high-quality, undervalued companies with strong growth potential and positive momentum. The strategy is intended to provide investors with a more nuanced exposure to international equities, potentially improving returns while managing volatility compared to broad market indices.
Managed by John Hancock Investment Management, a well-regarded asset management firm, the ETF benefits from the firm's extensive expertise in factor-based investing and global equity markets. John Hancock’s investment professionals utilize a comprehensive research process and advanced analytical tools to construct the fund's portfolio, aiming to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns. This approach allows investors to gain targeted exposure to developed international markets, leveraging multifactor investment insights to enhance overall performance.
