The fund’s primary objective is to provide high current income with growth of capital as a secondary goal. It pursues this objective principally through investments in preferred securities, debt instruments and, to a lesser extent, equity securities. The fund focuses on preferred stocks issued by U.S. and foreign issuers across a variety of industries, including financials, utilities and industrials. Portfolio managers employ fundamental credit analysis, sector allocation strategies and active duration management to balance income generation with risk control. In addition to preferred issues, the fund may allocate to common or convertible securities, contingent convertible instruments and exchange-traded securities to enhance yield. Managed by John Hancock Advisers LLC, a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation, the fund leverages the research capabilities and global distribution platform of a major asset manager. An independent board of trustees oversees its governance, ensuring compliance with investment policies and regulatory standards. HPI has traded on the New York Stock Exchange since 1986 and typically distributes net investment income to shareholders on a monthly basis. Designed for individual and institutional investors seeking a specialized source of fixed-income yield, the fund offers exposure to preferred securities that may deliver enhanced income relative to traditional investment-grade bonds. Prospective investors should consider the interest rate sensitivity, credit risk and market volatility inherent in preferred-income investments when assessing HPI’s role in a diversified portfolio.AI Generated.
