The distributions from John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund and John Hancock Diversified Income Fund provide income to shareholders, which can positively influence investor confidence in these specific funds. However, the disclosure that a portion of the distribution may be a return of capital could lead to some investor caution regarding the sustainability of income from these funds.
