John
Hancock Investment Management, a company of Manulife Investment
Management, one of the industry’s leading providers of multimanaged
investment solutions, announced today that it has entered into an
agreement to outfit the company’s sales division with YCharts,
a cloud-based investment research and analysis platform.
With YCharts’ mobile-friendly offering, John Hancock Investment
Management’s sales team will be able to keep abreast of market and fund
flow movements; deliver timely market research and analysis; highlight
model portfolio solutions; and objectively address challenges that may
arise during meetings.
Jeffrey Duckworth, president of retail distribution at John Hancock
Investment Management, commented, “We’ve been extremely impressed with
YCharts, from both a product and customer support standpoint. By
providing our sales team with a cutting-edge investment research
platform, we’re helping them quickly and clearly communicate complex
investment ideas—and deliver more value—to our clients.”
“We’re thrilled to have been selected by a market leader like John
Hancock Investment Management, a company with over $150 billion in
assets under management, to help its team achieve its goals,” said Sean
Brown, president and CEO at YCharts. “This new relationship is further
validation for us of our focused strategy to provide clients with the
powerful tools and high-touch customer service they seek to support
their efforts to win in the market.”
