John Hancock Launches Preferred Income ETF, JHPI

Aaron NeuwirthDec 15, 2021

On Wednesday, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, a company of Manulife Investment Management, announced the availability of the John Hancock Preferred Income ETF (JHPI). The exchange-traded fund (ETF) is sub-advised by Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, John Hancock Investment Management’s affiliated asset manager.

JHPI is an actively managed ETF that seeks to provide a high level of current income, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing at least 80% of its net assets in preferred stocks and other preferred securities. The manager focuses on sector allocation, industry allocation, and security selection in making investment decisions and looks to invest in securities that may be undervalued relative to similar securities in the marketplace.

The ETF is managed by Joseph H. Bozoyan, CFA, and Bradley L. Lutz, CFA, portfolio managers, Manulife Investment Management. The team manages more than $5 billion in preferred and other income-generating strategies.*

“We’re excited to launch our first ETF focused on preferred securities,” said Andrew G. Arnott, CEO, John Hancock Investment Management and head of wealth and asset management, Manulife Investment Management, United States and Europe. “Manulife Investment Management has been managing preferred strategies for nearly 20 years in our closed-end funds and is one of the largest preferred managers in the world. We are pleased to make John Hancock Preferred Income ETF available to investors who may want to use the ETF structure to access this asset class.”

“There is demand in the market to diversify sources of income. Preferred securities may provide more favorable yields with less interest-rate sensitivity than traditional bonds,” added Steven L. Deroian, co-head of retail product, John Hancock Investment Management. “We see JHPI providing a new opportunity for investors and asset allocators who may be interested in diversifying their income sources and return characteristics.”

John Hancock Investment Management launched its first ETFs more than six years ago. With this announcement, the firm’s ETF offering has grown to 18 ETFs with nearly $5 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2021, including preferred income, mortgage-back securities, corporate bonds, the U.S., and international equity portfolios, and a range of sector-specific products.
