John Hancock Funds Announce September Monthly Distributions

The declared distributions apply to the Preferred Income Funds I, II, and III, alongside the Premium Dividend Fund and the Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund. The Premium Dividend Fund (PDT) and Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (HTD) continue to operate under managed distribution plans, which provide fixed monthly payments. These distributions may be derived from net investment income, realized capital gains, or a return of capital.

Management noted that these plans are subject to board oversight and may be amended or terminated at any time. Because distributions can include a return of capital, the firm will provide shareholders with estimated component breakdowns at the time of payment. Official tax reporting will be finalized through Form 1099-DIV following the close of the calendar year. Investors are encouraged to review fund objectives and associated risks before adjusting their positions, as these figures are based on market data from August 31, 2026.
