John Hancock Multifactor ETFs: a new dimension in strategic beta investing



At John Hancock Investments, we believe investors benefit from a combination of active and passive strategies. That’s why we offer both, including a diverse lineup of strategic beta ETFs. To help construct our suite of ETFs, we teamed up with Dimensional Fund Advisors, a company regarded as one of the pioneers in strategic beta investing. Each ETF seeks to track a custom index built upon three decades of research into the factors that drive higher expected returns: smaller capitalizations, lower valuations, and higher profitability. Many traditional indexes and index funds are weighted by market capitalization, a bias that can expose investors to certain risks and potentially reduce returns. Strategic beta strategies such as John Hancock Multifactor ETFs seek to improve upon cap-weighted strategies by combining multiple factors into targeted portfolios designed not just to mirror the market, but to outperform it. A different approach makes all the difference. Whether it’s the specialized expertise of our actively managed funds or the strategic beta exposure of our passive John Hancock Multifactor ETFs, our goal remains the same: to identify the world’s best portfolio teams and diligently oversee them for our shareholders. We think it’s a better way to invest. Visit http://bit.ly/2hO1DRJ to learn more about our different approach.
