Our read on JHMD
CDimensional designs the index, John Hancock runs the fund: about 600 developed-market stocks outside the US, weighted toward cheaper, more profitable and smaller names instead of simply the biggest.
The fund seeks to track, before fees and expenses, the performance of the John Hancock Dimensional Developed International Index.
Why people hold it
- The index is built by Dimensional Fund Advisors, sorting stocks on size, relative price (value) and profitability rather than just taking the market's cap weights.jhinvestments.com
- Wide net: roughly 600 large- and mid-cap names across developed markets outside the US, with weights nudged toward smaller companies instead of piling into the giants.jhinvestments.com
- Trading since 2016, so the strategy has a real-money record through 2018, 2020 and 2022, not a backtest.
- The index rebalances twice a year, which keeps the value and profitability tilts current without constant portfolio churn.jhinvestments.com
Worth knowing
- At 0.43% a year, it prices above the typical fund in the international multifactor group, where INTF charges 0.16% and FDEV 0.18% for factor-tilted developed-market exposure.
- Value and profitability screens go through cold spells, so results can drift well away from a plain cap-weighted developed-market index in either direction.
- Cash comes once or twice a year, not quarterly, so income arrives in lumps.
