BOSTON, Dec. 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - John Hancock Investment Management, a company of Manulife Investment Management, today announced the three-year anniversary of its flagship model portfolios. The anniversary builds on the legacy of the multi-asset solutions team at Manulife Investment Management that manages the model portfolios. Widely introduced to advisors on multiple platforms in 2019, the firm offers a flagship suite of multimanager portfolios. In parallel with this announcement, the firm is also making new asset class models focused on U.S. equities, international equities, and the broader fixed-income markets available to investors.
For more than 25 years, Manulife Investment Management has managed multi-asset portfolios using an open-architecture approach. This approach is complemented by the robust manager research and oversight from John Hancock Investment Management's global manager research team. These attributes together help to strengthen diversification benefits across its range of portfolios.
"We are excited to have met this three-year milestone as advisors and their clients look at multiple ways to find potential diversification and income," said Steven L. Deroian, co-head of retail product, John Hancock Investment Management. "We also are pleased to be introducing the new U.S. and international equity and fixed-income models as we continue to see an uptick in portfolio implementation and look to meet these demands for our clients."
"We are also seeing increased demand for both home office and third-party models as advisors realize the efficiency and flexibility offered by model portfolios," added Katie Baker, head of model distribution, John Hancock Investment Management. "We believe our core value proposition is the access to a tenured, experienced asset allocation team and its capability to go beyond affiliated investment managers. This gives the team flexibility to implement nontraditional characteristics of core fixed-income and equity portfolios to help generate returns."
