Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from John Hancock Diversified Income Fund (HEQ) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow HEQ and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full HEQ filings page.
John Hancock Diversified Income Fund (HEQ) and affiliated closed-end funds are calling an annual shareholder meeting to elect six trustees. The meeting is scheduled for February 17, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Eastern at 200 Berkeley Street, Boston, MA. Shareholders of record as of November 25, 2025 can vote in person, online, by phone, or by mail.
The sole proposal is to elect six trustees—James R. Boyle, Kristie M. Feinberg, Grace K. Fey, Christine L. Hurtsellers, Hassell H. McClellan, and Kenneth J. Phelan—to terms ending at the 2029 annual meeting. The board is staggered into three classes and has a super-majority of independent trustees, supported by standing committees covering audit, compliance, contracts and risk, governance, and investments.
PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP remains the independent registered public accounting firm, with the audit committee confirming its independence and recommending inclusion of audited financials in the funds’ reports. Proxy preparation and distribution costs across the funds are estimated at about $248,840, and the board unanimously recommends voting “FOR” all six nominees.
