Important Notes:

  1. Manulife Global Fund – Global Multi-Asset Diversified Income Fund (“Manulife Global Multi-Asset Diversified Income Fund” or the “Fund”) invests in a diversified portfolio of equity, equity-related, fixed income and fixed income-related securities of companies and/or governments globally (including emerging markets), which exposes investors to fixed income and equity (including REITs) market risk, and geographic concentration and currency risk.
  2. The Fund invests in emerging markets, which may involve increased risks and special considerations not typically associated with investment in more developed markets, such as likelihood of a higher degree of volatility, lower liquidity of investments, political and economic uncertainties, legal and taxation risks, settlement risk, custody risks and currency risks/control.
  3. The Fund’s investment in fixed income and fixed income-related securities, as well as cash and cash equivalents, is subject to high yield bonds risk, credit/counterparty risk, interest rate risk, sovereign debt risk, valuation risk and credit rating and downgrading risk.
  4. The relevant distributing class of the Fund does not guarantee distribution of dividends, the frequency of distribution and the amount/rate of dividends. Dividends may be paid out of income, realised capital gains and/or out of capital of the Fund in respect of Inc share class(es). Dividends may be paid out of realised capital gains, capital and/or gross income while charging all or part of their fees and expenses to capital (i.e. payment of fees and expenses out of capital) in respect of MDIST (G) and R MDIST (G) share class(es). Dividends paid out of capital of the Fund amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value per share in respect of such class(es) of the Fund.
  5. While the Fund does not make extensive use of FDIs as part of its investment strategy, it may, from time to time, use them for hedging and/or efficient portfolio management purposes. This usage may expose investors to the risks associated with the non-investment use of FDIs (i.e. volatility risk, management risk, market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk).
  6. Investment involves risk. The Fund may expose its investors to capital loss. Investors should not make decisions based on this material alone and should read the offering document for details, including the risk factors, charges and features of the Fund and its share classes.
  7. Given RMB is currently not a freely convertible currency, payment of redemptions and/or dividend payment in RMB may be delayed due to the exchange controls and restrictions applicable to RMB. As offshore RMB (CNH) will be used for the valuation of RMB denominated Class(es), CNH rate may be at a premium or discount to the exchange rate for onshore RMB (CNY) and there may be significant bid and offer spreads and thus the value of the RMB denominated Class(es) will be subject to fluctuation. Any devaluation of RMB could adversely affect the value of investors’ investments in the RMB denominated Class(es) of the Fund.

How to navigate through a low rate environment

In today’s low rate environment, investors are looking for higher yields in addition to steady incomes in their portfolios. To meet these goals, an increasing number of investors are choosing non-traditional income assets, such as preferred securities, real estate investment trusts (REITs) and equity option strategies.

These non-traditional assets can be beneficial because they provide relatively higher yields and have lower correlation to other assets. We believe using a multi-asset allocation approach, which includes a mix of bonds and equities, can help investors create solid and stable income. This approach may also add a defensive tilt to the portfolio during market stress periods.

Traditional and non-traditional asset classes

Capture more income sources with a broad investment universe

Asset performance and yields can fluctuate in different economic cycles. Investors can broaden their investment universe within bonds and equities which in turn provide low correlated income sources and also increase overall yield stability.

Yields of each income asset per annum over the past 15 years1, 2

Fixed income

Equity and equity related securities

Flexible and diversified allocation

A wide range of asset classes across different investment styles and regions, together with a flexible investment strategy, opens up income opportunities. A mix of asset with low correlation can provide diversification benefits and potentially improved risk adjusted returns.

Traditional and non-traditional income sources tend to be less correlated3

Provide a potential downside buffer through equity option strategies

Based on historical data, while equities generally provide higher returns over time, they have higher volatility than bonds. Investors can use equity option strategies to potentially gain high yields through premiums while managing the risk in equities and also reduce volatility in their investments. This strategy is helpful in providing a downside buffer during periods of market stress.

During several market corrections since 2000, equity option strategies have proven to provide a downside buffer with the decline lower than the broad US equity market. This has become an important and popular risk management tool and has been widely adopted by many institutional investors.
