Seeking sustainable and regular income streams in a challenging environment

2023 heralds a year of transition from the unprecedented challenges in 2022, against a macro backdrop characterized by heightened global inflation, uncertainty over when US Federal Reserve rates might peak, and concerns of a global recession – which were further exacerbated by an unexpected banking crisis and fears of a potential “lost decade” of growth. In this uncertain environment, building resilient and consistent income opportunities is now more important than ever. 

At Manulife Investment Management, we offer a diverse range of income solutions for different investor objectives and risk appetites, with the goal of building consistent income streams to help investors weather market changes and volatility.

Enhanced income option

 

For investors seeking relatively higher income compared to regular payout from one source (dividends/coupons received from portfolio securities), we have introduced an enhanced income option (R share class5) which aims to provide additional, stable and predictable intended monthly income and at the same time allows you to stay invested for potential capital growth.

R share class5 provides income through two sources:

 

  • Regular payout7 from dividends/coupons received from portfolio securities. 
  • Additional payout of 2% to 5% p.a.6 from realised capital gains and/or capital. 

Both sources work together to provide potential higher monthly income and improved cash flow.

 

Illustration of R-shareclass

e.g. The annualised yield for Manulife Global Fund – Preferred Securities Income Fund, Class AA (USD) MDIST (G) was 7.23% in March 20238. With the additional payout (available for the R share class only), the annualised yield for the R share class for this fund was 9.54% in March 20238.

 

R share class6 is available for the following funds:

  • Manulife Global Fund – Preferred Securities Income Fund
  • Manulife Global Fund – Global Multi-Asset Diversified Income Fund
  • Manulife Global Fund – Asia Pacific REIT Fund
