According to a company news release, the John Hancock Lifestyle Portfolios are a series of five asset allocation fund of funds that provide investors with a choice of varying degrees of investment risk, from aggressive to conservative.
John Hancock has more than $50 billion of assets invested in Lifestyle Portfolios across its Mutual Fund, Retirement Plan Services, Variable Annuity, Variable Life and College Savings Plan businesses, the company said.
The new strategies are:
