John Hancock Investors Trust is a diversified, closed-end fund. The Fund's primary investment objective is to generate income for distribution to its shareholders, with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. The preponderance of the Fund's assets are invested in a diversified portfolio of debt securities issued by U.S. and foreign corporations and governments, some of which may carry equity features.
A portion of the Fund's current distribution may include sources other than net investment income, including a return of capital. The ultimate composition of the distribution may vary because it may be materially impacted by future realized capital gains or losses, and income from holdings. As required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Fund will provide a notice to shareholders at the time of payment of a distribution that may not consist solely of net income. Such notification will also be posted to the Fund's website at www.jhfunds.com where it will be viewable under the "Funds & Performance" tab, by clicking on "Closed-End Funds" and then "19(a) Distribution Notices". The notice is for informational purposes only and should not be used to prepare tax returns as the estimates indicated in the notice may differ from the ultimate federal income tax characterization of distributions reported to shareholders on Form 1099 DIV at the end of the calendar year. As noted, distributions may include return of capital. Investors should understand that return of capital is not a distribution from income or gains from the Fund.
