Description: PDT John Hancock Premium December 01, 2025
John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund (NYSE: PDT) is a U.S.-based closed-end fund that invests primarily in preferred securities, positioning itself as a “preferred stock” style vehicle. Its core objective is to generate current income while preserving capital, leveraging the higher coupon rates typical of preferred shares.
Key metrics (as of the latest public filings) show an expense ratio around 0.85 % and a distribution yield near 6.2 %, reflecting the fund’s focus on income-generating assets. The portfolio is weighted heavily toward financials (≈45 % of assets) and utilities (≈20 %), sectors that are particularly sensitive to interest-rate movements; a 100-basis-point rise in rates historically depresses preferred-stock prices by roughly 1-2 %. Assets under management stand at roughly $1.2 billion, providing sufficient scale for diversified exposure but still subject to liquidity constraints common in closed-end structures.
