Andrew Arnott, CEO, John Hancock
Investment Management and Head of Wealth and Asset Management,
Manulife Investment Management, United
States and Europe. "We
remain committed to providing value in a robust multimanager
offering to our clients and to innovating our product structure in
response to clients' needs."
"We are excited to have reached this milestone for our original
suite of multifactor ETFs," said Steve
Deroian, Head of Asset Allocation Models and ETF Product,
John Hancock Investment Management. "From the launch of these ETFs,
through the recent market events and the impact of COVID -19,
investors have reason to think about the multifactor offering as a
way to enhance or complement core equity portfolios. Our approach
offers a diversified set of strategies that may help avoid
concentrations in large-cap and growth stocks and help solve for
portfolio-construction challenges that exist today."
