John Hancock Emerging Markets E (0P00015OQX)

Overview

The described fund focuses on leveraging the growth potential of emerging-market issuers by investing primarily in equity and equity-related securities. A significant portion, at least 80% of its net assets, along with any borrowings intended for investment purposes, is allocated towards these securities. The choice of markets for investment hinges on several classifications, including those by the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, or the United Nations and its agencies. This careful selection process aims to separate emerging-market countries from developed ones, ensuring the fund's investments are strategically placed in areas anticipated to yield high growth and capital appreciation.
