"We're honoured to once again receive recognition from the LSEG Lipper Fund Awards.

"These awards highlight the work they're doing every day to help build resilient investor portfolios for our clients." 

The LSEG Lipper Fund Awards, granted annually, highlight funds and fund companies that have excelled in delivering consistently strong risk-adjusted performance relative to their peers.

"Creating client value, especially over the long term, drives everything we do. With the uncertainty and volatility in today's market, we are thrilled to share these funds that have consistently outperformed in these categories," added Jordy Chilcott, head of retail intermediary distribution, Canada, co-president and co-chief executive officer, Manulife Investments.

Commissions, trailing commissions, management fees and expenses all may be associated with mutual fund and exchange-traded fund (ETF) investments. Please read the prospectus before investing. The indicated rates of return are the historical annual compound total returns net of fees and expenses payable by the fund (except for figures of one year or less, which are simple total returns) including changes in security value and reinvestment of all distributions and do not take into account sales, redemption, distribution or optional charges or income taxes payable by any securityholder that would have reduced returns. Mutual funds and ETFs are not guaranteed, their values change frequently, and past performance may not be repeated. You will usually pay brokerage fees to your dealer if you purchase or sell units of an ETF on recognized Canadian exchanges. If the units are purchased or sold on these Canadian exchanges, investors may pay more than the current net asset value when buying units of the ETF and may receive less than the current net asset value when selling them.
