John Hancock Income Securities Trust is a closed-end management investment company. The Fund's investment objective is to generate a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) in income securities, consisting of the following: marketable corporate debt securities, governmental obligations and cash and commercial paper. The JHS stock yearly return is shown above.
The yearly return on the JHS stock yearly return page and across the coverage universe of our site,
is a measure of the annual return over the calendar year 2020 for the given stock.
When performing this calculation it is important to factor in dividends, because a financial instrument's annual return is
more than just the change in price if that instrument pays a dividend or coupon.
One way to factor dividends into the return is simply to count them as cash — we don't do
that here. Instead, our website aims to empower investors
by performing the JHS annual return calculation with any dividends reinvested as applicable (on ex-dates).
