| 2025 Q4 | Feb 3, 2026 | John Hancock Bond Fund Class I | 1.0% | 7.7% | AAL, BAC, DELL, F, FMCC, FNMA, JPM, WFC | Bonds, credit, duration, Fed policy, fixed income, Mortgage | The fund maintained significant overweight positions in agency MBS, focusing on middle coupon stack securities (4.0% to 5.5% coupons) for higher income and prepayment protection. Agency MBS was the top performing market segment and remained attractive versus corporates despite tightening spreads. The managers reduced allocations to investment-grade and high-yield corporates due to very tight yield spreads versus history. They focused on optimizing income through security selection rather than adding material risk given current tight valuations. The Fed enacted two quarter-point rate cuts in Q4, bringing total 2025 reductions to 75 basis points. The fund maintained neutral duration positioning and retained bias for yield curve steepening through intermediate-term overweights. | View | |
| 2025 Q4 | Feb 11, 2026 | Pershing Square Holdings | -5.4% | 20.9% | AMZN, BN, CMG, FMCC, FNMA, GOOG, HHH, HLT, HTZ, META, NKE, QSR, UBER, UMG.AS | AI, Concentration, growth, megacaps, Performance, Quality, technology, valuation | AI is having a transformative impact across portfolio companies, particularly in search, cloud computing, and digital advertising. Google's AI Overviews reach over 2 billion users globally, while AWS benefits from AI-driven compute demand requiring datacenter capacity doubling through 2027. Meta leverages AI for content recommendation and ad targeting improvements. AWS operates as the leading cloud hyperscaler in a highly concentrated market, growing 20% annually at $140 billion run-rate despite capacity constraints. The planned doubling of datacenter capacity through 2027 is expected to be rapidly absorbed by scaling AI inference workloads. Amazon operates the largest global e-commerce platform enabled by a unique logistics network fulfilling over $700 billion in gross merchandise value annually. The retail business has significant margin expansion opportunity through increasing advertising revenue mix, network density, and automation initiatives. Digital advertising represents a secularly fast-growing space with Meta as the dominant leader serving over 3.5 billion daily active users. AI-driven content recommendation systems and granular consumer behavior visibility enable highly precise ad targeting, making these platforms essential for businesses. Universal Music Group operates as a high-quality, capital-light business benefiting from greater music consumption. Streaming 2.0 deals incorporating wholesale price increases should drive higher subscription revenue growth, while AI partnerships with new platforms create additional monetization opportunities. Uber demonstrates strong momentum with 19% bookings growth and accelerating user engagement reaching new all-time highs. The company is positioned for continued teens-plus bookings growth and 30%+ earnings growth while expanding autonomous vehicle operations across 10+ cities by end of 2026. | CMG HHH QSR HTZ FNMA META GOOG AMZN UBER BN |

These holdings represent platforms that would be very difficult to reassemble and comprise select pockets of commercial real estate with structural demand drivers and limited maintenance capital expenditure requirements. Fund holds positions in major U.S. homebuilders including Lennar Corp., D.R. Horton, PulteGroup, and Champion Homes. These companies are supported by near-record low levels of for-sale inventories, near-record high demand for affordable product, and industry dynamics favoring scaled players over time. Fund focuses on well-capitalized enterprises with discounted securities trading at more than a 20% discount to estimated Net Asset Value at year-end. The strategy targets strategic real estate at value prices with prospects to compound capital over time. Multiple portfolio companies engaged in share repurchase activities during the quarter, including Lennar Corp. completing an exchange offer that effectively acted as an accelerated share repurchase program, exchanging Millrose Properties shares for 5% of its outstanding A shares. | DBK GR BIRG ID 2330 TT HBR LN CS CN LUN CN HCC |
