Fund performance

In the following pages we have set forth information regarding

the performance of certain funds of John Hancock Funds II

(the Trust). There are several ways to evaluate a fund’s historical

performance. One can look at the total percentage change in

value, the average annual percentage change, or the growth of

a hypothetical $10,000 investment. With respect to all perfor-

mance information presented, it is important to understand

that past performance does not guarantee future results. Return

and principal fluctuate, and shares, when redeemed, may be

worth more or less than their original cost.

Performance tables

The performance tables show two types of total return informa-

tion: cumulative and average annual total returns. A cumulative

total return is an expression of a fund’s total change in share

value in percentage terms over a set period of time—one, five,

and ten years (or since the fund’s inception if less than the

applicable period). An average annual total return takes the

fund’s cumulative total return for a time period greater than

one year and shows what would have happened if the fund

had performed at a constant rate each year. The tables show all

cumulative and average annual total returns, net of fees and

expenses of the Trust, but do not reflect the expenses of any

insurance company separate accounts (including a possible

contingent deferred sales charge) that may invest in the funds,

as applicable. If these were included, performance would

be lower.

Graph—Change in value of $10,000 investment and

comparative indexes

The performance graph for each fund (or portfolio), shows the

change in value of a $10,000 investment over the life or ten-

year period of each fund (or portfolio) whichever is shorter.

Each fund’s (or portfolio’s) performance is compared with the

performance of one or more broad-based securities indexes as a

“benchmark.” All performance information includes the rein-

vestment of dividends and capital gain distributions, as well

as the deduction of ongoing management fees and fund (or

portfolio) operating expenses. The benchmarks used for com-

parison are unmanaged and include reinvestment of dividends

and capital gains distributions, if any, but do not reflect any

fees or expenses. Funds (or portfolios), that invest in multiple

asset classes are compared with a customized benchmark. This

benchmark comprises a set percentage allocation from each of

the asset classes in which the fund invests.

Portfolio manager’s commentary

Finally, we have provided a commentary by each portfolio

manager regarding each fund’s (or portfolio’s) performance dur-

ing the period ended August 31, 2019. The views expressed

are those of the portfolio managers as of August 31, 2019, and

are subject to change based on market and other conditions.

Information about a fund’s (or portfolio’s) holdings, asset alloca-

tion, or country diversification is historical and is no indication

of future fund composition, which will vary. Information pro-

vided in this report should not be considered a recommenda-

tion to purchase or sell securities. The funds (or portfolios) are

not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., are not

deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by, banks, and

are subject to investment risks, including loss of principal

amount invested. For a more detailed discussion of the risks

associated with the funds (or portfolios), see the

funds’ prospectuses.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Capital Appreciation Fund Class NAVshares returned 0.89% and the Russell 1000Growth Index returned 4.27%.

Environment c Markets were volatile in theperiod. Initially, global GDP growth was accelerat-ing, the labor market was continuing tostrengthen, and lower US corporate tax rateswere helping to boost wages and capital spend-ing. A sell-off at the end of 2018 reflectedinvestor concerns about the risk of a trade warwith China, the pace of US growth, deceleratingexpansion in non-US economies, US interest rateincreases, US trade alliances with other tradingpartners, and discord about domestic policy. USequity markets subsequently rebounded as theFederal Reserve signaled a pause in interest ratehikes, corporate earnings indicated strength, andsentiment grew that trade friction would beresolved. As the period ended, markets declinedagain on trade friction escalation.

Communication services holdings hurt perfor-mance. Netflix, Inc. continues to raise its long-term competitive barriers with investments inexclusive and original content. The company’s

domestic subscriber base decreased, marginally,in the second quarter, and international net sub-scriber additions reverted to 2016 levels. Givenits still-low global penetration, Netflix still hassignificant room for growth. We eliminated theposition in Activision Blizzard, Inc., the world’sleading video game publisher, on slowing rev-enue growth.

Consumer discretionary holdings detractedfrom performance despite strength in ChipotleMexican Grill, Inc., whose new managementteam is improving sales through new products,better marketing, mobile/digital efforts, anddelivery, and Lululemon Athletica, Inc., wherenew products, integrated marketing, and onlinesales momentum are driving strong customertraffic, sales conversion, and comparable storesales. Tesla, Inc.’s decline was tied to ongoingcontroversy surrounding CEO Elon Musk andconcerns about vehicle production volume.

Within information technology, NVIDIA Corp.detracted from performance. The company fellon gaming graphics microchip inventory issuesand worries that trade discord could disrupttechnology markets, depressing chip demand.

Holdings in consumer staples contributed to thefund’s performance. The Estee Lauder Companies,Inc. has enhanced its strong brand portfolio inthe fast-growing luxury beauty care market withcomplementary acquisitions and brand develop-ment. Emerging markets, especially China, arekey drivers of its growth. Costco WholesaleCorp.’s consistent stream of membership feeincome allows for low prices and broad productselection, which lead to high inventory turnover.

Information technology holdings were also solidcontributors to fund absolute and relative return.Payments companies continued to benefit fromthe shift from cash to electronic transactions.Mastercard, Inc. and Visa, Inc. have strong mar-ket positions with high barriers to entry, pricingpower, and solid operating leverage potential.Digital transformation of the enterprise hasbecome a strategic imperative across manyindustries and companies. Holdings Red Hat, Inc.(sold off prior to year end), ServiceNow, Inc. andWorkday, Inc. offer cloud-based mission-criticalapplications and services that are changing theway businesses operate.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AND COMPARATIVE INDEX

PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Capital Appreciation Value Fund ClassNAV shares returned 10.07% and the S&P 500Index returned 2.92%.

Environment c Overall, U.S. stocks posted posi-tive returns for the 12-month period endedAugust 31, 2019. Shares weathered a volatileyear, driven by concerns over slowing globalgrowth, rising trade tensions, and central bankpolicy.

U.S. equities sold off sharply in December amid abroader tumble in global equities, spurred in partby concerns over the Federal Reserve’s tighteningpath, which included four rate increases in 2018.However, rhetoric from the Fed turned dovish in2019, culminating in a rate decrease late in July,the first in nearly a decade. Shares rallied on thispivot to accommodative policy, though the ebbsand flows of the trade dispute between the U.S.and China continued to weigh on markets inter-mittently. Treasury yields declined sharply overthe year, with closely watched portions of the

yield curve inverted by the period’s end, whichgave rise to concerns of a possible recession inthe relatively near term.

In this environment, the S&P 500 Index postedmodest positive returns. Sector returns divergedover the year, with utilities, real estate, and con-sumer staples leading the way. The energy sectorperformed worst, delivering double-digit negativereturns.

From an asset class perspective, the fund’s under-lying equity holdings outpaced the S&P 500Index. The fund’s bond holdings posted positivegains but lagged the Bloomberg Barclays U.S.Aggregate Bond Index.

Among equities, the information technology sec-tor was the greatest contributor to relative per-formance due to stock selection. Shares of finan-cial services technology firm Fiserv, Inc. rose onsolid earnings during the period that indicatedaccelerating revenue growth, which helped easeinvestor concerns following several quarters of

weak topline results. Shares were further bol-stered by the acquisition of payment processorFirst Data, which the company touted as cement-ing its place at the forefront of the financialtechnology and payment processing industries.Stock choices in the financials sector also liftedrelative results.

The industrials sector was the top detractor fromrelative performance due to stock selection.Shares of industrial conglomerate General ElectricCompany (GE), which struggled over the period,slipped in August amid reports detailing concernsover the company’s accounting practices andheightened risks from its long-term care insur-ance business. Despite recent underperformance,we continue to like GE for its strong new leader-ship, improved business practices, and commit-ment to cost-cutting measures. An underweightallocation to the strong-performing consumerstaples sector also detracted from relativeperformance.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AND COMPARATIVE INDEXES

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Health Sciences Fund Class NAVshares declined 4.87% and the Lipper Health/Biotechnology Index declined 6.39%.

Environment c Major U.S. stock indexes weremixed for the one-year period ended August 31,2019, with large-caps outperforming small-caps,which finished in negative territory, and growthindexes outperforming value across all market capi-talizations. The period was marked by heightenedvolatility as familiar themes including escalatingtrade tensions, decelerating global growth, and theFederal Reserve’s changing monetary policy stance,persisted. The long-simmering trade disputebetween the U.S. and China deepened after theU.S. announced new tariffs on Chinese goods inAugust, which led to a steep devaluation of theyuan to a level not seen over the past decade,although signs that both sides were preparing toresume negotiations in September provided someencouragement. While corporate earnings havebeen strong over the period, the U.S. manufacturingsector is beginning to show signs of slowdown dueto the trade war, further dampening sentiment.However, solid labor data and improving consumerconditions mitigated the worsening outlook. Since

March, the Fed stopped raising interest rates anddisplayed increased willingness to adjust interestrates as per the economic data, which finally culmi-nated in a rate cut towards the end of July.

Stock selection in pharmaceuticals was a powerfulrelative performance contributor. Within the seg-ment, we generally favor companies that are devel-oping novel therapeutics. Merck & Company, Inc.and Novartis AG were the strongest relative con-tributors, as both stocks rallied more than 20% inthe past 12 months. Merck continued to consolidateits lead over competitors in lung cancer treatmentwith Keytruda, as the company expanded its marketshare in treatments for several types of cancer,including the largest indication of first-line non-smallcell lung cancer. Novartis rallied on strong sales andoperating income growth. The company’s innovativedrug segment benefited from strong sales of itsimmunology drug Cosentyx, cardiology drugEntresto, and cancer drug Lutathera. Managementalso raised its full-year 2019 operating incomeguidance.

Stock selection in biotechnology also generated asolid contribution to relative results. Novocure, Ltd,Loxo Oncology, Inc. (sold prior to year end), and

Sage Therapeutics, Inc. were among the fund’s bestrelative performers within the biotechnology seg-ment. The largest holding among our top contribu-tors was Sage, which is focused on developing noveltherapeutics for central nervous system-related indi-cations. The stock rallied in early January on news ofpositive results from a Phase 3 trial of SAGE-217 forthe treatment of postpartum depression. The drugwas subsequently approved by the U.S. Food & DrugAdministration.

The products and devices segment was the largestdetractor from relative returns for the past 12months. While our holdings generated positive abso-lute performance, stock selection hurt our compari-son with the benchmark. Intuitive Surgical, Inc.,which was among the fund’s top holdings, was thelargest detractor in the subsector. Despite continuedpositive momentum in global procedure growth andsystem placements, Intuitive Surgical shares cameunder pressure during the period. We think proce-dure growth, the engine of the business model,should continue to benefit from the rollout of moreaffordable surgical systems, which should provideopportunities to expand into more hospitals.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AND COMPARATIVE INDEX

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the International Growth Stock Fund ClassNAV shares returned 5.16% and the MSCI ACWorld ex-U.S.A. Growth Index returned 0.00%.

Environment c The period feature significantmarket volatility as currency issues, rising interestrates and trade concerns between the UnitedStates and China weighed on global stocks.Within the US, a stronger US dollar and higherinterest rates also dampened returns and contrib-uted to currency depreciation in a number ofmarkets. Investors also had concerns over Brexitnegotiations, declining oil prices and fears ofslowing economic growth, particularly in theeurozone. Overall, global equity indexes, in gen-eral, finished in the negative territory , withdeveloped markets generally faring better thanemerging markets.

The fund posted a positive return for the periodand outperformed its benchmark, the MSCI ACWorld ex-U.S.A. Growth Index. Relative outper-formance was driven primarily by stock selectionin the financials, information technology, and

health care sectors and an overweight in finan-cials. In contrast, stock selection and an over-weight in the energy sector detracted from rela-tive results.

At the sector level, a meaningful overweight andstock selection in financials was the leading con-tributor to relative performance. Within the sec-tor, key contributors included emerging markets(EM) companies such as Brazil-based B3 SA-Brasil Bolsa Balcao and Banco Bradesco SA, aswell as Akbank T.A.S. (Turkey), and within devel-oped markets Allianz SE (Germany), Investor AB(Sweden) and Mediobanca Banca di CreditoFinanziario SpA (Italy) were notable contributors.Security selection in the information technologysector was another key contributor to relativeperformance, specifically US-based Broadcom,Inc. and Canada-based CGI, Inc. The fund’s hold-ings in the health care sector outperformed thoseof the benchmark index and added to relativereturn. Hoya Corp. (Japan) was a notablecontributor in the sector during the reportingperiod. From a geographic perspective, stockselection in China drove relative outperformance

for the period. Additionally, the fund’s holdingsin Japan and an overweight and stock selectionin Brazil positively contributed to relative results.

Conversely, stock selection and an overweight inenergy was the largest detractor from relativeperformance. Canada-based Suncor Energy, Inc.and PrairieSky Royalty, Ltd. and UK-basedTechnipFMC PLC were key detractors during thereporting period. Lack of exposure to the strong-performing utilities sector also detracted fromrelative results. Geographically, stock selectionand an underweight in Switzerland was a dragon relative returns. The fund’s holdings in the UKand Canada also negatively impacted relativeperformance.

Over the long-term, the managers believe theirfocus on corporate fundamentals continues toserve fund investors well in an environment thatremains dominated by macroeconomic and politi-cal uncertainties. Regardless of the macroeco-nomic environment, we seek to identify attrac-tively valued, high-quality growth companies.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the International Small Cap Fund ClassNAV shares declined 7.89% and the MSCI ACWorld ex U.S.A Small Cap Index declined 9.01%.

Environment c During the 12-month period,international small-capitalization stocks signifi-cantly underperformed their larger-capitalizationcounterparts. Trade issues dominated the head-lines during the period, with the U.S. alternatelyreporting progress and setbacks in negotiationswith China, Mexico, India and the EuropeanUnion. In Europe, political turmoil in Italy, ongo-ing Brexit uncertainty, weak economic data andcontinued trade tensions weighed on sentiment.

Several holdings performed well during theperiod under review. The shares of U.K. basedsandwich retailer Greggs PLC rose, aided bystrong sales results due to the introduction ofvegan sausage, shorter queues and enhanced

marketing efforts. Looking at the longer term,Greggs is a leading player in the U.K. take-awaysandwich and savories market, with growthopportunities from new products and organicstore expansion. Belgium-based Barco NV alsocontributed to performance. Barco is a marketleader in cinema projection, wireless meeting-room technology and health care display systems.We believe its upcoming projector upgrade waveshould drive a return to growth in the cinemabusiness, as laser technology offers total cost-of-ownership and image-quality benefits over theold, existing xenon lamp-based projectors. ItsClickShare product is a runaway success, and webelieve it has a clear potential for further growth.

In contrast, the fund had some underperformersduring the period under review. Nilfisk HoldingA/S is a Denmark-based manufacturer of cleaningequipment that specializes in the high-end pro-fessional market. Although management has

already announced a cost cutting plan that isexpected to end in 2019, we believe the markethas still been underappreciating the potentialprofit margin expansion and long-term opportu-nity with automated equipment. Shares ofBelgian based hygiene products manufacturerOntex Group NV retreated during the period,although analysts upgraded the stock in anticipa-tion of profit margin enhancement as costs stabi-lize, pricing improves. We broadly agree with thisassessment, viewing most of Ontex’s issues ascyclical or fixable. With a valuation we considerinexpensive, strong market position and diversi-fied product portfolio, we believe Ontex contin-ues to offer compelling long-term value.

During the period, the U.S. dollar rose in valueagainst most foreign currencies, which hurt thefund’s performance because investments in secu-rities with non-U.S. currency exposure lost valueas the U.S. dollar rose.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the International Strategic EquityAllocation Fund Class NAV shares declined3.97% and the MSCI AC World ex-U.S.A. Indexdeclined 3.27%.

Environment c The 12-month period endedAugust 31, 2019, was a volatile period for U.S.equity investors, complete with a steep drop inthe fourth quarter of 2018, followed by anequally steep climb over the first four monthsof 2019.

Trade tensions negatively impacted stocks in thefourth quarter of 2018. A 0.25% interest rateincrease by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed)in December — following one in September —also weighed on market sentiment. However, Fedchief Jerome Powell bolstered equity markets inearly January when he backed away from theFed’s earlier commitment to multiple interest rate

increases in 2019. Subsequent comments led themarket to anticipate that the Fed’s next movewould be an interest rate cut, and this expecta-tion, coupled with reasonably favorable economicand corporate earnings data, kept U.S. stocks ona mostly upward trajectory over the first eightmonths of 2019. On the final day of July, the Fedlowered its key policy interest rate by 0.25%, thefirst rate reduction since 2008.

In the bond market, Treasury yields moved higherinto early November amid continued expectationsof interest rate increases by the Fed. However, asinvestors grew more pessimistic about globaleconomic growth and stock prices headed southin the fourth quarter, demand increased forlower-risk investments such as Treasury securities,which drove their prices up (and yields down).

Foreign stocks in developed markets performedroughly in line with U.S. stocks but generally

lagged, as trade concerns were seen as a signifi-cant threat to international markets. Canadianstocks underperformed most major U.S. equitybenchmarks, and were relatively weak inresponse to trade worries and the depreciationof the Canadian dollar, as well as sharply fallingcrude oil prices for virtually the entire fourthquarter of 2018.

From an asset allocation perspective, an under-weight position in emerging markets equity andcountry rotation in developed markets contrib-uted to returns. Specific positions that contrib-uted to returns include an overweight positionin the Netherlands, and an underweight positionin Germany.

Country rotation in emerging markets detractedfrom returns. Specific positions that detractedfrom returns include an underweight position inIndonesia and an overweight position in India.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the International Value Fund Class NAVshares declined 12.71% and the MSCI EAFEIndex declined 3.26%.

Environment c International equities declinedduring the 12-month period, due to investor con-cerns about slowing global economic growth,geopolitical stress and escalating trend tensions.

The fund underperformed its benchmark, theMSCI EAFE Index, during the 12 months underreview. During the period, international valuestocks extended their longest and deepest periodof underperformance relative to growth onrecord. These adverse market conditionsremained a significant headwind for Templeton’svalue-oriented investment strategies.

Relative weakness during the period was primar-ily attributable to stock selection, notably in thehealth care and financials sectors. Israeli genericdrug-maker Teva Pharmaceutical Industries, Ltd.declined amid concerns about challenging indus-try conditions, litigation risk and a bloated bal-ance sheet. Despite the performance of Teva, wecontinued to find a number of other attractive

pharmaceuticals companies that combined solidgrowth prospects and defensive earnings charac-teristics with what we considered modest valua-tions. From the financials sector, Bank of IrelandGroup PLC fell as rising uncertainty about Brexitand the risk of lower-for-longer interest ratespressured profit expectations. Within our Euro-pean bank holdings, we continued to rotateaway from extremely cheap, but higher-riskstocks in favor of what we viewed as better-capitalized, better-managed companies withhealthy dividends operating in stable markets,but still trading at unwarranted discounts to tan-gible book value. Other notable detractors duringthe period included stock selection in the indus-trials and consumer discretionary sectors, as wellas stock selection and an underweighting in theconsumer staples sector.

Conversely, stock selection in the materials sectorcontributed significantly to the fund’s relative per-formance. Precious metals stocks led the sector,with off-benchmark positions in Canadian goldand silver streaming company Wheaton PreciousMetals Corp. and Canadian gold mining firmAlamos Gold, Inc. finishing as the fund’s top two

contributors. We have long argued that preciousmetals stocks can play an important role in adiversified portfolio, particularly late in a cyclewhen the combination of rising risks, ultra-lowinterest rates and renewed policy dovishness allamplify gold’s relative attractiveness. WheatonPrecious Metals was our preferred exposure tothis theme at period-end.

From a regional standpoint, stock selection andan overweighting in Asia detracted from relativeperformance, with relative weakness in Chinaand South Korea (not part of the index) morethan offsetting strength in Taiwan (not part ofthe index). Stock selection in Europe also hin-dered results, as relative losses in the U.K. andSwitzerland more than offset relative gains inGermany and Denmark. Conversely, in NorthAmerica, an off-benchmark exposure to Canadacontributed to relative performance.

During the period, the U.S. dollar rose in valueagainst most foreign currencies, which hurt thefund’s performance because investments in secu-rities with non-U.S. currency exposure lost valueas the U.S. dollar rose.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Mid Cap Stock Fund Class NAV sharesreturned 5.74% and the Russell Midcap GrowthIndex returned 5.96%.

Environment c US equities, as measured by theS&P 500 Index, posted positive results over thetrailing twelve-month period ending August 31,2019. US and China trade relations remainedvolatile. As trade talks progressed into Septemberof 2018, investors gained confidence that a tradedeal was likely to be reached and marketsrebounded. In sharp contrast, US equities lostground over the last quarter of 2018, due to feararound a slowdown in global growth, and suf-fered their largest quarterly loss since 2011.During the first quarter of 2019, markets werebuoyed by a shift in major central banks towardsloosening monetary policy and productive tradenegotiations between the US and China. InEurope, Brexit remained a major concern, and UKPrime Minister Theresa May resigned after failing

to secure a Brexit deal. On the monetary front,the Federal Reserve lowered US interest ratesin July for the first time in 11 years and theEuropean Central Bank gave strong hints that anew round of quantitative easing could begin inSeptember. The US delayed 10% tariffs on morethan half of the remaining US$300 billion ofmainly consumer-related Chinese imports untilDecember 15, but trade relations remainedtenuous in the absence of any meaningful com-promises on key structural issues.

Sector allocation, a product of the bottom-upstock selection process, detracted from perfor-mance. An overweight to health care and havingno exposure to real estate hurt relative resultsmost.

Within the fund, stock selection contributed toperformance. Security selection was particularlystrong in the health care sector, while selectionwithin industrials and consumer discretionary was

also favorable. This was partially offset by unfa-vorable selection in the information technologyand communication services sectors.

Top contributors to relative performance duringthe period included Exact Sciences Corp., amolecular diagnostics company; Pinterest, Inc., asocial media web and mobile application com-pany; and Insulet Corp., an insulin pump maker.

Top detractors from relative performanceincluded 2U, Inc., an online education servicesprovider; Align Technology, Inc., a global medicaldevice company; and Spotify Technology SA, astreaming music provider.

At the end of the period, the fund held over-weight allocations to the health care, consumerdiscretionary, and communication services sec-tors. The industrials, information technology, andfinancials sectors represented the fund’s largestunderweights.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Mid Value Fund Class NAV sharesdeclined 8.82% and the Russell Midcap ValueIndex declined 3.13%.

Environment c Major U.S. stock indexes weremixed for the one-year period ended August 31,2019, with large-caps significantly outperformingsmall-caps, which finished in negative territory,and growth indexes outperforming value acrossall market capitalizations. The period was markedby heightened volatility as familiar themes includ-ing escalating trade tensions, decelerating globalgrowth, and the Federal Reserve’s changing mon-etary policy stance, persisted. The long-simmeringtrade dispute between the U.S. and China deep-ened after the U.S. announced new tariffs onChinese goods in August, which led to a steepdevaluation of the yuan to a level not seen overthe past decade, although signs that both sideswere preparing to resume negotiations in Sep-tember provided some encouragement. Whilecorporate earnings have been strong over theperiod, the U.S. manufacturing sector is begin-ning to show signs of slowdown due to thetrade war, further dampening sentiment. How-ever, solid labor data and improving consumer

conditions mitigated the worsening outlook.Since March, the Fed stopped raising interestrates and displayed increased willingness toadjust interest rates as per the economic data,which finally culminated in a rate cut towardsthe end of July.

Real estate detracted the most from relativereturns for the period due primarily to stockselection, but an underweight position in the sec-tor also proved unhelpful. Shares of RealogyHoldings Corp., an integrated provider of realestate services in the United States, have beenpressured by intensifying secular challengeswithin the real estate brokerage industry.Improved access to real estate data by consumershas lessened their reliance on the traditionalagent, and agents themselves have begun todisassociate from some of the larger brokeragefirms. Realogy’s lagging performance and aggres-sive strategy have weakened its financial condi-tion and enhanced its risk profile, so we chose toexit our position in the company. Timberland realestate investment trust Rayonier, Inc., with assetslocated in timber-growing regions in the U.S.and New Zealand, was also a detractor for theperiod. Timber prices had shown strength early in

2018 amid strong demand for new housing, aswell as some supply impacts from North Americanwildfires. Weakness in the stock has been drivenby concerns over deceleration in housing marketstrength, interest rates, and export markets.

Utilities also hindered relative results due to stockchoices and an underweight position. Shares ofCalifornia-based regulated utility company PG&ECorp., which had been pressured by concernsregarding the potential liability and costs associ-ated with significant recent wildfires in the state,plunged further on the announcement that thecompany would be filing for Chapter 11 bank-ruptcy protection. We maintain a favorable viewof PG&E’s longer-term potential because webelieve the utility is well positioned to benefitfrom grid modernization in California.

Conversely, stock selection in materials led rela-tive results. Shares of gold miners Barrick GoldCorp. and Newmont Goldcorp Corp., along withgold-focused royalty and investment companyFranco-Nevada Corp., benefited from the currentmarket environment as their shares are highlylevered to the price of gold.

Trade tensions negatively impacted stocks in thefourth quarter of 2018. A 0.25% interest rateincrease by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed)in December — following one in September —also weighed on market sentiment. However, Fedchief Jerome Powell bolstered equity markets inearly January when he backed away from the

Fed’s earlier commitment to multiple interest rateincreases in 2019. Subsequent comments led themarket to anticipate that the Fed’s next movewould be an interest rate cut, and this expecta-tion, coupled with reasonably favorable economicand corporate earnings data, kept U.S. stocks ona mostly upward trajectory over the first eightmonths of 2019. On the final day of July, the Fedlowered its key policy interest rate by 0.25%, thefirst rate reduction since 2008.

In the bond market, Treasury yields moved higherinto early November amid continued expectationsof interest rate increases by the Fed. However, asinvestors grew more pessimistic about globaleconomic growth and stock prices headed southin the fourth quarter, demand increased forlower-risk investments such as Treasury securities,which drove their prices up (and yields down).

Foreign stocks in developed markets performedroughly in line with U.S. stocks but generallylagged, as trade concerns were seen as a signifi-cant threat to international markets. Canadianstocks underperformed most major U.S. equitybenchmarks and were relatively weak in responseto trade worries and the depreciation of theCanadian dollar, as well as sharply falling crudeoil prices for virtually the entire fourth quarterof 2018.

From an asset allocation perspective, under-weight positions in U.S. large-cap equity as wellas an overweight position in international devel-oped equity detracted from returns. StrategicEquity Allocation Fund (Manulife InvestmentManagement (US) LLC) detracted from returnsduring the period. Overweight positions in defen-sive equity and real assets contributed to returns.

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Real Estate Securities Fund Class 1shares returned 17.35% and the MSCI U.S. REITIndex returned 12.03%.

Environment c Over the past one-year, US REITswidely outperformed the broader equity market(as represented by the S&P 500 Index). To startQ4 2018, October marked the worst month forequity markets since 2011 as U.S. stocks lostnearly $2 trillion in value driven by a broad-basedtechnology rout. Midterm election results dimin-ished investors’ fears in November as riskierassets curried favor after Democrats won controlof the House of Representatives and Republicansheld the Senate, but this delicate balance shiftedsharply in December as volatility, U.S. dollarweakness, and adverse macro events shookinvestor confidence. Entering 2019, expectationsof an accord between the world’s economicsuperpowers combined with better-than expectedcorporate earnings and a less-hawkish stancefrom some of the biggest central banks sent

stocks sharply higher in the first two months ofthe year. However, U.S. stocks came under pres-sure in May as the U.S. imposed new tariffs onChinese goods whilst China responded by target-ing some of the biggest U.S. exporters. Junemarked a rebound for U.S. equity markets amidstexpectations for central bank support and opti-mism for progress on trade talks at the end-of-month G20 summit, but this was short lived asPresident Trump imposed additional tariffs onChinese imports which escalated the trade warwith China. In response, 30-year U.S. treasuryyields dropped below 2% in August. The U.S.dollar rallied alongside Gold, indicating height-ened demand for safe havens, and the U.S. yieldcurve inverted, fueling recessionary fears. FederalReserve comments were largely in line withexpectations, with potential cuts on the horizonlater this year. In this environment, defensive ori-ented REITs found favor amongst investors andcomfortably outperformed.

For the annual reporting period endingAugust 31, 2019, the fund outperformed theMSCI U.S. REIT Index. Relative outperformancewas the result of both strong stock selection andsector allocation effects. Over the one-yearperiod, performance was driven by positive stockselection, particularly in the net lease, specialty,office, and regional malls sectors. Weak stockselection in the apartments sector marginally off-set this. Sector allocation was strong, with under-weight allocations to the underperformingregional malls and hotels sectors the primarycontributors. On the flip side, the allocation tothe specialty segment detracted slightly duringthe period. The off-benchmark allocation totower REITs was also notably additive. Duringthe last year, the fund’s largest overweight sec-tors included apartments and towers, while theregional malls and hotels sectors were the largestunderweight allocations.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE & POLICIES c The fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Currentincome is incidental to the fund’s objective.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AND COMPARATIVE INDEXES

PORTFOLIO MANAGERS’ COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Science & Technology Fund Class NAVshares returned 3.19% and the Lipper Science &Technology Index returned 2.27%.

Environment c Despite the abrupt sell-off in the finalquarter of 2018, sparked by a convergence of multipleheadwinds, equities delivered modest gains over the fullperiod. Within the technology sector, global semiconduc-tor and hardware stocks lagged due to the ongoingtrade tensions between the US and China. Supply chainsand end markets are highly connected between the twocountries, making the impact more acute for thesegroups. Software and services stocks held up better givenlower exposures to China trade uncertainties and earn-ings reports that largely supported the view of stable andhealthy growth.

Allianz Global Investors US LLCHigher growth software companies delivered strong per-formance despite the macro headwinds. Overweightpositions in Okta, Inc., Paycom Software, Inc., Twilio, Inc.,MongoDB, Inc., and ServiceNow Inc. positively contrib-uted to relative performance. These stocks performedwell during the period due to higher demand for theirinnovative product offerings, which led to consistentlystrong operational results. The fund’s relative performancewas hurt mostly by overweight positions in companiesthat were negatively impacted by slower demand, partlydue to the trade war with China. Overweight positions in

NetApp, Inc., DXC Technology, and Nutanix, Inc. (soldprior to year end) were the largest relative detractors.Additionally, our overweight positions in Square, Inc. andBloom Energy Corp. weighed on relative performance.

We continue to believe the technology sector canprovide some of the best absolute and relativereturn opportunities in the equity markets — espe-cially for bottom-up stock pickers. The growth intechnology is coming from the creation of new mar-kets. Investors need to find companies generatinggrowth by creating new markets or effecting signifi-cant change on old markets. Sectors such as auto-mobiles, advertising, security, retail, and manufactur-ing are all being shaped and transformed byadvances in technology.

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc.Software contributed the most to relative perfor-mance, as the value added by stock selection morethan offset the drag from the fund’s below-benchmark allocation to this subsector. In October2018, shares of Red Hat, Inc. surged after IBMannounced an agreement to acquire the industryleader in Linux operating systems and open-sourcesolutions. We exited Red Hat. We initiated a positionin salesforce.com, Inc. when the stock came underpressure after the company announced the pro-posed acquisition of Tableau Software. This oppor-tunism resulted in superior relative performance

when the stock began to regain some of its lostground, lifted in part by strong second-quarterresults and forward guidance that underscored sales-force.com’s ability to deliver impressive top-linegrowth for a company of its size. Synopsys, Inc. alsocontributed to performance in this sector. Equityselection in internet also lifted relative results andmore than counterbalanced the negative effectsfrom the fund’s sizable overweight in this subsector.

Conversely, hardware detracted the most from rela-tive performance, as the contribution from thefund’s underweight allocation to this subsector wasnot enough to offset stock selection’s negativeeffects. Shares of Coherent, Inc., a leading producerof specialty lasers in a variety of end markets, soldoff with the broader equity market in December2018. Worries about the uncertain macro outlookand ongoing weakness in the OLED market likelyexacerbated this downside. Although the stock ral-lied in the new year on hopes that trade negotia-tions between the U.S. and China might lead to adeal and lift the economy, the stock failed to recoverall its lost ground. We exited Coherent to reflect ashift in our views regarding the company’s opportu-nity to expand its service revenue in coming years.Not owning any names in financial services — thetop-performing subsector in the benchmark—likewise weighed on the fund’s relative results.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE & POLICIES c The fund seeks long-term growth of capital. Undernormal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings forinvestment purposes) in companies with market capitalizations that do not exceed the maximummarket capitalization of any security in the Russell 2000 Index at the time of investment.

CHANGE IN VALUE OF $10,000 INVESTMENT AND COMPARATIVE INDEXES

PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Small Company Value Fund Class 1 sharesdeclined 10.16% and the Russell 2000 Value Indexdeclined 14.89%.

Environment c Major U.S. stock indexes weremixed for the one-year period ended August 31,2019, with large-caps significantly outperformingsmall-caps, which finished in negative territory, andgrowth indexes outperforming value across all mar-ket capitalizations. The period was marked byheightened volatility as familiar themes includingescalating trade tensions, decelerating globalgrowth, and the Federal Reserve’s changing mon-etary policy stance, persisted. The long-simmeringtrade dispute between the U.S. and China deepenedafter the U.S. announced new tariffs on Chinesegoods in August, which led to a steep devaluationof the yuan to a level not seen over the pastdecade, although signs that both sides were prepar-ing to resume negotiations in September providedsome encouragement. While corporate earningshave been strong over the period, the U.S. manufac-turing sector is beginning to show signs of slow-down due to the trade war, further dampening sen-timent. However, solid labor data and improvingconsumer conditions mitigated the worsening out-look. Since March, the Fed stopped raising interestrates and displayed increased willingness to adjustinterest rates as per the economic data, which finallyculminated in a rate cut towards the end of July.

Stock selection in health care led relative results.Atrion Corp. develops and manufactures proprietarycomponents for medical devices used mainly in fluiddelivery applications. We believe the firm is a qualitycompany that generates regular cash flow. It ben-efited from tax reform more than many industrypeers and held up well in a generally challengedhealth sector. The Ensign Group, Inc. is an operatorof subsidiaries providing a broad spectrum of skillednursing and assisted living services. During theperiod, the company announced that it would spinoff its home health, hospice, senior living, andmobile diagnostics businesses into a separatelytraded entity, allowing for the acceleration ofgrowth in both organizations. Ensign’s unique, local-ized leadership structure should allow it to continueto consolidate inexpensive acquisitions in a frag-mented industry.

Industrials also added value due to stock choices.FTI Consulting, Inc. is a professional services firmthat is well known for its bankruptcy and economicconsulting practices. Their services tend to thrive incyclical environments like the current economicbackdrop. Recent strength has been particularlyprominent in the corporate finance and restructuringsegment, as well as the forensic and litigation con-sulting segment. Consumer discretionary also addedvalue due to stock picks, specifically StrategicEducation, Inc.

Conversely, stock selection in information technologydetracted the most from relative performance. GTTCommunications, Inc. is an asset-light, technologyagnostic provider of cloud networking services pri-marily to multinational clients. The company offerswide area network, internet, managed network,security, voice, and unified communications services.With operations in over 100 countries, GTT operatesone of the five largest Tier 1 IP networks in theworld. Shares declined on first-quarter 2019 resultsthat fell short of expectations, partially attributed toacquisitions that have not yet been fully integrated.We continue to believe this is a compelling long-term investment with minimal capital expenditurerequirements and a highly recurring revenue base.

Financials also weighed on returns due primarily tostock choices although an underweight position alsoproved unhelpful. Green Dot Corp. is the leadingprovider of general-purpose reloadable cards in theU.S. Shares plunged following a 20% cut to forwardguidance attributed to the funding of a marketingcampaign for a new direct bank. Although we havea favorable view of Green Dot’s core business andbelieve it could become a substantially larger plat-form over time with solid execution, uncertaintyregarding the outcome of the company’s entranceinto this new business could pressure shares in thenear term.

PORTFOLIO MANAGER’S COMMENTARY

Performance c For the year ended August 31,2019, the Strategic Equity Allocation Fund ClassNAV shares declined 1.78% and a blend of 70%Russell 3000 Index and 30% MSCI AC Worldex-U.S.A. Index declined 0.04%.

Environment c The 12-month period endedAugust 31, 2019, was a volatile period for U.S.equity investors, complete with a steep drop inthe fourth quarter of 2018, followed by anequally steep climb over the first four monthsof 2019.

Trade tensions negatively impacted stocks in thefourth quarter of 2018. A 0.25% interest rateincrease by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (Fed)in December — following one in September —also weighed on market sentiment. However, Fedchief Jerome Powell bolstered equity markets inearly January when he backed away from theFed’s earlier commitment to multiple interest rate

increases in 2019. Subsequent comments led themarket to anticipate that the Fed’s next movewould be an interest rate cut, and this expecta-tion, coupled with reasonably favorable economicand corporate earnings data, kept U.S. stocks ona mostly upward trajectory over the first eightmonths of 2019. On the final day of July, the Fedlowered its key policy interest rate by 0.25%, thefirst rate reduction since 2008.

In the bond market, Treasury yields moved higherinto early November amid continued expectationsof interest rate increases by the Fed. However, asinvestors grew more pessimistic about globaleconomic growth and stock prices headed southin the fourth quarter, demand increased forlower-risk investments such as Treasury securities,which drove their prices up (and yields down).

Foreign stocks in developed markets performedroughly in line with U.S. stocks but generally

lagged, as trade concerns were seen as a signifi-cant threat to international markets. Canadianstocks underperformed most major U.S. equitybenchmarks, and were relatively weak inresponse to trade worries and the depreciation ofthe Canadian dollar, as well as sharply fallingcrude oil prices for virtually the entire fourthquarter of 2018.

From an asset allocation perspective, an over-weight position in large-capitalization U.S. stocks,relative to small- and mid-cap U.S. stocks, con-tributed to returns, as did an underweight posi-tion in emerging markets relative to developedmarkets. Country rotation within developed mar-kets also contributed to returns.

Sector and industry rotation within the U.S.detracted from returns, as did country rotationwithin emerging markets.

In the case of Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle ConservativePortfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio and Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio, in addition to the operating expenses which theportfolio bears directly, the portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which the portfolioinvests. Because the underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs and the portfolio may own different proportions ofthe underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. If these indirect expenses were in-cluded, your expenses paid during the period would have been higher.

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund so you can compare these costs withthe ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period andheld for the entire period (March 1, 2019 through August 31, 2019).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use theinformation in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your ac-count value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first lineunder the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period ended” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expensesbased on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not theactual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance orexpenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so,compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please re-member that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses youpaid for the period.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs andinsurance-related charges. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not helpyou determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would havebeen higher.

2. Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP),which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from thoseestimates and those differences could be significant. The funds qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification ofUS GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in thepreparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than theregularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the funds’ ValuationPolicies and Procedures.

In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, aretypically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no salesduring the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds,including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Debt obligations typically are valued based on theevaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which takes into account factors such asinstitutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, aswell as broker supplied prices. Options listed on an exchange are valued at the mid-price of the last quoted bid and ask prices from the primary exchangewhere the option trades. Unlisted options are generally valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Futures contracts aretypically valued at the last traded price on the exchange on which they trade. Foreign equity index futures that trade in the electronic trading marketsubsequent to the close of regular trading may be valued at the last traded price in the electronic trading market as of 4:00 p.m. ET, or may be fair valuedbased on fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreignexchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward rates which are based on foreigncurrency exchange spot rates and forward points supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollarsbased on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading onthe exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, andtrading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith bythe funds’ Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are usedcannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securitiesexisted. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or marketlevel may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If asignificant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the funds’ Pricing Committee, following procedures establishedby the Board of Trustees. The funds use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in orderto adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The funds use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includessecurities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepaymentspeeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on anevaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available orreliable, including the funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market orissuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily anindication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out ofan assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Repurchase agreements. The funds may enter into repurchase agreements. When the funds enter into a repurchase agreement, they receive collateral thatis held in a segregated account by the funds’ custodian, or for tri-party repurchase agreements, collateral is held at a third-party custodian bank in asegregated account for the benefit of the funds. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral heldis in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral received by the fund for repurchaseagreements is disclosed in the Portfolio of investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.

Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master RepurchaseAgreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amountsowed. Absent an event of default, assets and liabilities resulting from repurchase agreements are not offset in the Statements of assets and liabilities. In theevent of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or thecounterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAVcalculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interestincome includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrualstatus and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion ofinterest has become doubtful. Income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on theex-date, except for dividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net ofwithholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of thesecurities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a tax return of capital and/or capital gain, if any, are recorded as a reduction of cost ofinvestments and/or as a realized gain, if amounts are estimable. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and mayinclude proceeds from litigation.

Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income andsubsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of the fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds willestimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.

Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not lessthan the market value of the loaned securities. The funds will invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, which has a floating NAV and isregistered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT invests in short-term money market investments. Eachfund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.

The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent isresponsible and indemnifies the funds for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacementsecurities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacementsecurities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value ofJHCT.

Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fundscould experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timelybasis. The funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensationfrom fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Netincome received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.

Obligations to repay collateral received by the funds are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned andare secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the funds and the corresponding cash collateralreceived at August 31, 2019:

In addition, non-cash collateral of approximately $792,049, $453,044 and $994,634 in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged to International Small CapFund, International Value Fund and Strategic Equity Allocation Fund, respectively. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the funds, andaccordingly, is not reflected in the funds’ net assets.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at theprevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dateof the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized andunrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, whichreduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. These risks are heightened for investments inemerging markets. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transactioncosts), accounting standards and other factors.

Foreign taxes. The funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries, a portion of whichmay be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which itinvests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes areaccrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.

Overdraft. The funds may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests thatotherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the funds’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to makeproperly authorized payments. The funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian mayhave a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and tothe maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets andliabilities.

Line of credit. The funds and other affiliated funds, excluding Real Estate Securities Fund, have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement withCitibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $750 million unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitmentsdesignated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of$500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Real Estate Securities Fund and other affiliated funds haveentered into a separate unsecured $50 million line of credit agreement with BNP Paribas. Subject to the needs of other affiliated funds, Real EstateSecurities Fund can borrow up to the $50 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.

A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of each line of credit, is charged to eachparticipating fund based on a combination of fixed and asset based allocations and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations.

Commitment fees for the year ended August 31, 2019 were as follows:

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund.Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among otherthings, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustmentsare made when actual amounts are known.

Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class ofshares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, arecharged daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

Federal income taxes. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of theInternal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income taxprovision is required.

For federal income tax purposes, as of August 31, 2019, certain funds have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains.The following table details the capital loss carryforward available as of August 31, 2019:

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP.Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the funds’ financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains fromunderlying funds are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or theresults of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to netoperating losses, foreign currency transactions, investments in passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals, characterization ofdistributions, derivative transactions and amortization and accretion on debt securities.

3. Derivative instruments

The funds may invest in derivatives in order to meet their investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded inthe over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structureof the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty orclearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investingdirectly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the funds are exposed to the risk that the counterparty to anOTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactionstypically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.

Derivatives which are typically traded through the OTC market are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). Derivativecounterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearingorganizations. The funds attempt to reduce their exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by enteringinto an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of their OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to theagreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default ofthe other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out alltransactions and to net amounts owed.

As defined by the ISDA, the funds may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject toestablished minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with aparticular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the funds, if any, are held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for thebenefit of the funds and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the funds, ifany, for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the funds’ custodian and is noted in the accompanying portfolio of investments, or if cash isposted, on the Statements of assets and liabilities. The funds’ risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offsetby collateral received.

Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present lesscounterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the funds and the broker to the contract and therefore,credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.

Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular currency or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future.Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets and contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectlycorrelated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets andliabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the funds to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contractssubjects the funds to unlimited risk of loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount ofrequired margin is set by the broker and is generally based on a percentage of the contract value. The margin deposit must then be maintained at theestablished level over the life of the contract. Cash that has been pledged by a fund is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Collateral held atbroker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the funds, if any, are identified in the Portfolio of investments. Subsequent payments, referred to asvariation margin, are made or received by a fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Futures contracts aremarked-to-market daily and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. Receivable/Payable for futures variation margin is included on the Statementsof assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, a fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at thetime it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

The following table details how the funds used futures contracts during the year ended August 31, 2019. In addition, the table summarizes the range ofnotional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

$163.0 million to $311.4 million

U.S. Strategic Equity Allocation Fund To gain exposure to certain securities markets and to maintain diversity and liquidity ofthe fund.

$13.2 million to $49.4 million

Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a pricethat is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks relatedto the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timelypost collateral if applicable, and the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential forlosses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities.

The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts aremarked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the differencebetween the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency orsettlement with the counterparty.

Options. There are two types of options, put options and call options. Options are traded either OTC or on an exchange. A call option gives the purchaserof the option the right to buy (and the seller the obligation to sell) the underlying instrument at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of theoption the right to sell (and the writer the obligation to buy) the underlying instrument at the exercise price. Writing puts and buying calls may increasethe fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Buying puts and writing calls may decrease the fund’s exposure to such changes.Risks related to the use of options include the loss of premiums, possible illiquidity of the options markets, trading restrictions imposed by an exchangeand movements in underlying security values, and for written options, potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets andliabilities. In addition, OTC options are subject to the risks of all OTC derivatives contracts.

When a fund purchases an option, the premium paid is included in the portfolio of investments and subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect currentmarket value. If the purchased option expires, a fund realizes a loss equal to the cost of the option. If a fund exercises a call option, the cost of the securitiesacquired by exercising the call is increased by the premium paid to buy the call. If a fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of theunderlying security and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium paid. If a fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain orloss, depending on whether proceeds from the closing sale are greater or less than the original cost.

8. Industry or sector risk

Certain funds generally invest a large percentage of its assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of thefund’s assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadlydiversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry orsector may make the fund’s NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact ofmarket, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors. Financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines,changes in interest rates regulatory and market impacts.

9. Investment in affiliated underlying funds

13. Reorganization

On August 9, 2019, the shareholders of John Hancock Funds II Small Cap Stock Fund (the Acquired Fund) voted to approve an Agreement and Plan ofReorganization (the Agreement) which provided for an exchange of shares of Mid Cap Stock Fund (the Acquiring Fund) with a value equal to the netassets transferred.

The Agreement provided for (a) the acquisition of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of theAcquiring Fund with a value equal to the net assets transferred; (b) the liquidation of the Acquired Fund; and (c) the distribution to Acquired Fund’sshareholders of such Acquiring Fund’s shares. The reorganization was intended to consolidate the Acquired Fund with a fund with a similar objective andachieve economies of scale. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiring Fund is the legal and accounting survivor.

The reorganization did not qualify as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes; however, it is not expected to be a taxable event for contractowners. Thus, the investments were transferred to the Acquiring Fund at market value. All distributable amounts of net income and realized gains from theAcquired Fund were distributed prior to the reorganization. In addition, the expenses of the reorganization were borne by the Acquired Fund. The effectivetime of the reorganization occurred immediately after the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on August 23,2019. The following outlines the reorganization:

Because the combined fund has been managed as a single integrated fund since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate theamounts of net investment income and gains attributable to the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund’s Statement of operations atAugust 31, 2019. See Note 6 for capital shares issued in connection with the above referenced reorganizations.

14. Subsequent events

On June 26, 2019, the Board of Trustees approved a plan of liquidation for International Growth Stock Fund, International Small Cap Fund, and SmallCompany Value Fund. The funds were liquidated on October 18, 2019.

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) ofJohn Hancock Funds II (the “Trust”) of the Advisory Agreement (the “AdvisoryAgreement”) with John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the “Advisor” ,formerly known as “John Hancock Advisers, LLC”) and each of the SubadvisoryAgreements (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”) with respect to each ofthe portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the “Funds”). The AdvisoryAgreement and Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as theAgreements. Prior to the June 23-16, 2019 in-person meeting at which theAgreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered informationregarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at an in-person meetingheld on May 28–30, 2019.

Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements

At in-person meetings held on June 23-26, 2019, the Board, including theTrustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interestedpersons of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended(the 1940 Act) (the “Independent Trustees”), reapproved for an annual period,the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisorand the applicable Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and the invest-ment subadvisors (each, “Subadvisor” and collectively, the “Subadvisors”) withrespect to each of the Funds identified below in Appendix A.

In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements withrespect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety ofmaterials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and each Subadvisor, including com-parative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similarfunds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; perfor-mance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to eachSubadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managedaccounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and theSubadvisors regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by theAdvisor and the Subadvisors under their respective Agreements, as well as infor-mation regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to theFunds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings atwhich the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements areconsidered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund perfor-mance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, theBoard notes that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and theSubadvisors is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into accountdiscussions with management and information provided to the Board (includingits various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided bythe Advisor and the Subadvisors to the Funds, including quarterly performancereports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, andprior presentations from the Subadvisors with respect to the Funds they manage.The information received and considered by the Board in connection with theMay and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. TheBoard noted the affiliation of certain of the Subadvisors with the Advisor, notingany potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality,and extent of the services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’saffiliates, including distribution services. The Board considered the AdvisoryAgreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review.In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisorin providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved therenewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board con-sidered each Fund separately.

Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additionalinformation from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust andthe Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counselthroughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandumfrom their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for theirconsideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed theproposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their indepen-dent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

Approval of Advisory Agreement

In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board,including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, includingthose discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including condi-tions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets andthe industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and eachTrustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’sconclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory andsubadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regularreview of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. Among the informationreceived by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and qualityof services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided bythe Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organiza-tional and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s com-pliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also notedthat on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s ChiefCompliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies andprocedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Boardobserved that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the under-takings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, includingmaintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, riskmanagement programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurityprograms, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and otherdevelopments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for themanagement of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limitedto, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by theSubadvisors, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities ofthe Subadvisors and other third-party service providers. The Board also consid-ered the significant risk assumed by the Advisor in connection with the servicesprovided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Fundsand ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regula-tory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by theAdvisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’smanagement and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, throughBoard meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and througheach Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts inthe complex.

In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Boardconsidered, among other things:

(a) the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managedthe Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight andmonitoring of the Subadvisors’ investment performance and compliance pro-grams, such as the Subadvisors’ compliance with fund policies and objectives,review of brokerage matters including with respect to trade allocation and bestexecution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;

(f) the Advisor’s initiative intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’soperations and investor experience with the Funds; and

(g) the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment adviser tothe Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of afamily of funds offering a variety of investments.

The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue toprovide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect tothe Funds.

Investment Performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, theBoard noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information aboutthe Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of theAdvisory Agreement, the Board:

(a) reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’performance;

(b) considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respectivebenchmark;

(c) considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in thereport prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and

(d) took into account the Advisor’s analysis of each Fund’s performance and itsplans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangementsgenerally and with respect to particular Funds.

The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that thedata may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of theperformance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peergroup. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respectivebenchmarks and also concluded that the performance of each of the Funds hasgenerally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performanceof comparable funds and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark, with certainexceptions noted in Appendix A. In such cases, the Board concluded that suchperformance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate.

Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information preparedby an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among otherdata, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees,to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situatedinvestment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of thenature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisoryservices provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered eachFund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independentthird-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups offunds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to thatof comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory andadministrative costs.

The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses.The Board took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overallmanagement fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of theadvisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in eachcase in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertakenby the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory feesof the Funds, and that such fees are negotiated at arm’s length with respect to theunaffiliated Subadvisors. The Board also took into account that management hadagreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussedfurther below. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Funds’expenses, as well as any actions taken over the past several years to reduce theFunds’ operating expenses. The Board reviewed information provided by theAdvisor concerning investment advisory fee charged by the Advisor or one of itsadvisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having

similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differencesbetween the Advisor’s and each Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the servicesthey provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that theadvisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of thenature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under theAdvisory Agreement.

In addition, in the case of the Multi-Index Lifestyle Funds (each a “Fund ofFunds”), the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for eachFund of Funds, and concluded that such fee is based on services provided thatare in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided pursuant tothe advisory agreements for the underlying funds of the Fund of Funds, and thatthe additional services are necessary because of the differences between theinvestment policies, strategies and techniques of a Fund of Funds and those of itsunderlying funds.

Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the servicesto be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates(including the Subadvisors that are affiliated with the Advisor) from the Advisor’srelationship with the Trust, the Board:

(a) reviewed financial information of the Advisor;

(b) reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding thenet profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;

(c) received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the JohnHancock fund complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;

(d) received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologiesused in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired anindependent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s alloca-tion methodologies;

(e) considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliatesof the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separateaccounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paidand dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these taxbenefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plansunder applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysisreviewed by the Board;

(f) considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Fundson a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;

(g) noted that certain of the Funds’ Subadvisors are affiliates of the Advisor;

(h) noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services anddistribution services to the fund, and that the fund’s distributor also receivesRule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the fund;

(i) noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefitsfrom providing advisory services to the Funds;

(j) noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor and arenegotiated at arms’ length with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors;

(k) with respect to each Fund of Funds, the Board noted that the advisory fee isin addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to theunderlying portfolios in which each Fund of Funds may invest;

(l) considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improveservices, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to otherchallenges impacting the fund industry; and

(m) considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level ofprofits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risksthat it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational,litigation and regulatory risk.

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any,of the Advisor and its affiliates (including any Subadvisors that are affiliatedwith the Advisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable andnot excessive.

Economies of Scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realizeany economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale forthe benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:

(a) considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of itsmanagement fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, includingthe fund (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of theparticipating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregatenet assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement iscalculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportionto the daily net assets of each fund. The Multi-Index Lifestyle Funds benefit fromthe waiver through their investment, to the extent that they invest in participatingportfolios and;

(b) reviewed the Trust’s advisory fee structure and the incorporation therein ofany subadvisory fee breakpoints in the advisory fees charged and concludedthat (i) most of the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the subadvisoryfee level and that such breakpoints are reflected as breakpoints in the advisoryfees for Funds and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured withprecision, these arrangements permit shareholders of Funds with advisory feebreakpoints to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Boardalso took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory feestructure, including with respect to those Funds that did not currently havebreakpoints; and

(c) considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance andfees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Fundsmay realize other economies of scale.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreements

In making its determination with respect to approval of the SubadvisoryAgreements, the Board reviewed:

(1) information relating to each Subadvisor’s business, including current sub-advisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock familyof funds);

(2) the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative perfor-mance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds;

(3) the subadvisory fee for each Fund, and comparative fee information, whereavailable, prepared by an independent third party provider of fund data; and

(4) information relating to the nature and scope of any material relationships andtheir significance to the Trust’s Advisor and unaffiliated Subadvisors.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the servicesprovided by each of the Subadvisors with respect to each Fund, the Boardreceived information provided to the Board by each Subadvisor, including eachSubadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presentedthroughout the past year. The Board considered each Subadvisor’s current levelof staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating toa Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor’shistory and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifica-tions, background and responsibilities of each Subadvisor’s investment andcompliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board alsoconsidered, among other things, each Subadvisor’s compliance program and anydisciplinary history. The Board also considered each Subadvisor’s risk assessmentand monitoring process. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor’s regulatory history,including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigationsas well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actionsundertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular,periodic reviews of each Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding

investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board alsonoted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviewswith each of the Subadvisors and present reports to the Independent Trusteesregarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systemsof the Subadvisors and procedures reasonably designed by them to assure com-pliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account thefinancial condition of each Subadvisor.

The Board considered each Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. TheBoard took into account that each Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the devel-opment and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund thatis consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investmentsecurities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securi-ties, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performanceof these services. The Board also received information with respect to eachSubadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to bestexecution and soft dollars.

Subadvisor Compensation. In considering the cost of services to beprovided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its rela-tionship with the Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the SubadvisoryAgreements are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also receivedinformation and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest theAdvisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreements. The Boardalso relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Subadvisory Agreementwith Subadvisors that are not affiliated with the Advisor and the fees thereunderat arm’s length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profitsto be realized by unaffiliated Subadvisors from their relationship with the Trustwere not a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the SubadvisoryAgreements.

The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (includingtheir significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to unaffiliated Subadvisors)of any material relationships with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors, whichinclude arrangements in which unaffiliated Subadvisors or their affiliates provideadvisory, distribution or management services in connection with financialproducts sponsored by the Trust’s Advisor or its affiliates, and may include sharesof the Trust, other registered investment companies, a 529 education savingsplan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold toqualified plans.

In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that theSubadvisors and their affiliates may receive from a Subadvisor’s relationship withthe Fund, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additionalfunds in the John Hancock fund complex and reputational benefits.

Subadvisory Fees. The Board considered that the Fund pays an advisoryfee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays subadvisory fees to eachSubadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’ssubadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemedto be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the indepen-dent third party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board notedthat the limited size of the Lipper peer group was not sufficient for comparativepurposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by theAdvisor to a Subadvisor with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’sSubadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject toregulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.

Subadvisor Performance. As noted above, the Board considered eachFund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group and thebenchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’sperformance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted theAdvisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style,and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of theAdvisor’s focus on each Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted eachSubadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.

The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to eachFund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:

(1) each Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as amanager;

(2) although not without variation, the performance of each Fund managed by aSubadvisor generally has been in line with or outperformed the historicalperformance of comparable funds and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark,with the exceptions noted in Appendix A (with respect to such exceptions,the Board concluded that performance is being monitored and reasonablyaddressed);

(3) the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality ofservices being provided under the Subadvisory Agreements; and

(4) the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds, and thatthe fee structure for certain of the Funds contains breakpoints, certain break-points are reflected as breakpoints in the advisory fees for the Funds inorder to permit shareholders to benefit from economies of scale if thoseFunds grow.

In addition, in the case of each Fund of Funds, the Trustees reviewed the subad-visory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for the Fund of Funds and concluded that

the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund ofFunds is based on services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplica-tive of, the services provided pursuant to the subadvisory agreements for theunderlying portfolios of the Fund of Funds and that the additional services arenecessary because of the differences between the investment policies, strategiesand techniques of a Fund of Funds and those of its underlying portfolios.Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and perfor-mance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement andSubadvisory Agreements for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.

* * *

Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to bematerial, including those factors described above, the Board, including theIndependent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement andeach of the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund would be in thebest interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly,the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the AdvisoryAgreement and Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund for anadditional one-year period.
