Beth Mcgoldrick

Beth McGoldrick is a communications executive who has served for many years as Assistant Vice President of Public Relations within the John Hancock / Manulife Financial organization in Boston. She is repeatedly listed as the press/media contact on corporate announcements from John Hancock (Manulife's U.S. brand) and Manulife Asset Management (now Manulife Investment Management), the firm's global investment-management arm.

Her role is media and communications, not portfolio management or investing. She is quoted in trade press in her PR capacity — for example, in coverage of Manulife Asset Management's real-estate partnership with Conundrum to grow a multi-family residential platform, she was cited as "Manulife Asset Management assistant vice-president of public relations Beth McGoldrick." She also appears as the contact of record on John Hancock Investments fund press releases (e.g., John Hancock Disciplined Value and Disciplined Value Mid-Cap Fund materials) and on Manulife Asset Management corporate news releases regarding new investment teams, sales-leadership appointments, and market commentary.

Manulife Investment Management, the firm she represents, is the wealth-and-asset-management segment of Manulife Financial. It manages public and private assets across equities, fixed income, and private markets (including private equity, private credit, real estate, timberland/agriculture, and infrastructure), and it does maintain a venture-capital and private-equity capability — but that investing activity is carried out by dedicated investment teams, not by the communications function.

• Not applicable at the individual level. Beth McGoldrick is a public-relations professional and does not make investment decisions or set an investment thesis.
• For context, the firm she represents — Manulife Investment Management — invests across public and private markets, including a private-equity and venture-capital program within its Private Markets group. Any "seed" or venture activity belongs to those teams, not to Ms. McGoldrick.
