- John Hancock Multifactor Small Cap ETF (JHSC) is an exchange-traded fund that provides exposure to the small cap blend segment of the U.S. equity market by tracking the John Hancock Dimensional Small Cap Index before fees and expenses. Launched on November 8, 2017, and sponsored by John Hancock Investment Management, a division of Manulife Investment Management, the ETF selects and weights U.S. small-cap securities—typically companies with market capitalizations smaller than the 750th largest U.S. company, excluding the smallest 4%—based on multiple factors including relative price, profitability, and sector-relative metrics. Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, it operates primarily in the U.S. market, holding approximately 544 diversified positions across sectors such as industrials (20.4%), financials, and information technology, with top holdings including MDU Resources Group Inc., Stride Inc., and Murphy Oil Corp. The fund maintains an expense ratio of 0.42% and a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 0.98%, with assets under management exceeding $652 million as of late 2025. Its investment strategy emphasizes a blend of growth and value characteristics in small-cap equities, offering broad sector diversification to mitigate company-specific risk. As of December 2025, JHSC has delivered a year-to-date return of approximately 8.19% and a one-year return of 2.78%, with a beta of 1.03 and three-year standard deviation of 19.07%. No major acquisitions, funding rounds, partnerships, or strategic shifts specific to JHSC have been reported in the last 1-2 years; however, John Hancock Investment Management announced plans in late 2024 to close and liquidate 10 unrelated sector ETFs, reflecting ongoing portfolio optimization within its broader ETF lineup. The ETF remains a mid-sized option in the small cap blend category, earning a Morningstar Silver Medalist rating and a Zacks ETF Rank of 3 (Hold).
