MUTUAL FUNDS

 Printer Friendly Version

Adding an extra dimension to your investment strategy.

Mutual funds are professionally managed, making them a good choice for those who want to avoid the time-consuming hassle of doing their own investment research and daily monitoring. They offer a diverse mix of holdings which may reduce volatility because the effect of one bad investment is typically offset by better results in the rest of the portfolio. In addition, mutual funds allow investors to target a particular industry, or to meet a specific investment objective. These and other benefits make mutual fund investing an attractive option. Now add to that what John Hancock offers you.
