BOSTON, Sept. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The nine John Hancock closed-end funds listed below announced today that each fund's Annual Meeting of Shareholders ("Annual Meeting") will be held on February 16, 2027, at 2:00 p.m.

Our Triple-Factor screen identifies closed-end funds combining a yield above 6.5%, distribution coverage above 90%, and a discount to NAV, screening over 400 CEFs as of the close of September 15, 2026. Portfolio holdings Highland Opportunities and Income (HFRO), BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies (DHF), PIMCO Dynamic Income Opportunities (PDO), and Blackstone Strategic Credit 2027 (BGB) all rank among this month's top lists. As a reminder, these top lists are meant to be preliminary shortlists for further research, and are not meant to be the final analysis for a buy or sell decision.

The Triple-Factor CEF screen systematically identifies funds with yields above 6.5%, coverage above 90%, and discounts to NAV for balanced income and value. BNY Mellon High Yield Strategies Fund and Flaherty & Crumrine Preferred Income Opp stand out for deep discounts, strong yields, and robust coverage. Negative z-scores highlight CEFs trading below historical valuation ranges, suggesting potential mean-reversion opportunities for sophisticated investors.

BOSTON, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The John Hancock Closed-End Funds listed in the table below announced earnings1 for the three months ended July 31, 2026. The same data for the comparable three-month period ended July 31, 2025 is also available below.

John Hancock Investors Trust offers a 9.1% distribution rate and trades at a -9% discount to NAV, making it attractive for income-focused investors. JHI's portfolio is primarily composed of high-quality corporate bonds (82.7%) with 40% leverage, providing steady income with minimal distribution risk while defaults remain low. Quarterly distributions are 100% net investment income, with no capital gains or return of capital, and have generally increased over the past three years.

The Triple-Factor CEF screen highlights funds with >6.5% yield, >90% coverage, and discounts to NAV, balancing income, sustainability, and value. Top candidates like VVR, BGX, and DHF offer double-digit discounts, strong coverage, and yields up to 11.6%, presenting potential for both income and capital appreciation. Negative z-scores across several funds indicate they are trading well below historical valuation ranges, suggesting possible mean reversion opportunities.

BOSTON, June 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the "Adviser") today announced changes to the portfolio management team for John Hancock Investors Trust  (NYSE: JHI), (the "Fund"), subadvised by Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (the "Subadviser"). Effective June 25, 2026, Darren Toner and Tim Jarombek, CFA, from the Manulife | CQS Investment Management (MCQS) organization will be added as portfolio managers to the Fund.

We screen ~400 closed-end funds for full distribution coverage, prioritizing funds with coverage above 100% to reduce risk of distribution cuts. Top Income-Covered CEFs trading at wide discounts, like BGX and VFL, offer both high yields and potential for price appreciation if discounts narrow. Funds with the most negative z-scores, such as JHI and FMY, are trading below their historical average discounts, highlighting potential value opportunities.
