"Market Intelligence is a natural byproduct of the work we do every day vetting investment strategies and talking to our global network of asset managers," said head of investments,
The report is the work of a dedicated team of more than 50 investment professionals at John Hancock Investments that collect, sort, and evaluate investment research from more than 75 asset managers, independent research firms, broker-dealers, and banks.

The report, which benefits from the analysis of more than 30 distinct asset categories, illustrates both the range of views among the 75-firm network and the view of the investment team at John Hancock Investments. The report is modular and can be used in its entirety or as separate sections--even individual pages--depending on investor needs, and culminates in a list of strategies to consider in the current environment. It is available in several formats and uses charts and infographics to illustrate key themes.
Some of the themes discussed in the current issue are:

- Fixed income: prepare to be nimble--The most attractive opportunities in fixed income continue to be in those areas of the market least reliant on declining rates to drive returns. Expect an ongoing rotation away from traditional intermediate-term bond funds and into more flexible mandates.
"The initial feedback from the financial advisor community has been overwhelmingly positive," said president and CEO,
