Inspired by the horse race in the 2026 Palio di Siena, I made a financial move that I hope will be just as clever as the knight's move in chess.

BOSTON, Aug. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The John Hancock Closed-End Funds listed in the table below announced earnings1 for the three months ended July 31, 2026. The same data for the comparable three-month period ended July 31, 2025 is also available below.

John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund (HTD) is rated Hold due to limited upside and a narrowing discount to NAV. HTD offers a 7.5% yield, leveraging a diversified portfolio of utilities, financials, preferreds, and corporate bonds, with substantial exposure to rate-sensitive sectors. AI-driven electricity demand is a tailwind for HTD's utility holdings, but high valuations and regulatory constraints limit profit upside.
