John Hancock Closed-End Funds Announce Monthly Distributions
The John Hancock closed-end funds have declared their monthly distributions for August 2026. The distribution details include a declaration date of August 3, an ex-date and record date on August 13, with payments scheduled for August 31. Each fund has set its per-share distribution amount ranging from $0.0883 to $0.1580. The distributions are made under the respective managed distribution plans of each fund (PDT Plan or HTD Plan), which aim to provide consistent monthly payouts until further notice. These payments may include net investment income, capital gains, and potentially return of capital. The Board retains the right to amend or terminate these plans at any time. Investors should note that a portion of distributions might not be from earned income but could represent a return of capital. Tax-related notices will accompany each distribution payment, with final tax reporting provided via Form 1099-DIV by year-end.
