Our read on JHDV
CJohn Hancock's compact take on US dividend income: roughly 80 payers picked for current income first, growth second. The trade-off is price, at 1.90% a year against pennies for the category's index giants.
The fund seeks a high level of current income, with long-term capital growth as a secondary objective.
Why people hold it
- Concentrated by design: about 80 US dividend payers rather than a sprawling index, so individual picks carry real weight.
- The mandate is blunt and on the record: a high level of current income first, long-term capital growth as the secondary goal.
- Distributions run on a quarterly cadence, the standard rhythm for an income-oriented equity sleeve.
Worth knowing
- Cost is the headline: 1.90% a year, while the category's largest screens charge a rounding error (VIG 0.04%, SCHD 0.06%, DGRO 0.08%).
- A small, thinly traded fund, so spreads can run wider and bigger orders are harder to work than in the category's heavyweights.
- Launched in 2022, so its record does not yet span a full market cycle.
