A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund&#8217;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year of the predecessor to the fund, the Turner International Growth Fund, a series of Turner Funds (the predecessor fund), the fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover rate was 210% of the average value of its portfolio. </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #003f49"size="4">Expense example</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Please see below a hypothetical example showing the expenses of a $10,000 investment at the end of the various time frames indicated. The example assumes a 5% average annual return. The example assumes fund expenses will not change over the periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #003f49"size="4">Principal investment strategies</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of international <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">non-U.S. companies</font> with market capitalizations at the time of purchase greater than $2 billion that the subadviser believes have strong earnings growth potential. The fund may continue to hold securities of companies whose market capitalization was within such range at the time of purchase but whose current market capitalization may be outside of that range. The fund invests in securities of companies that are diversified across economic sectors, and attempts to maintain sector concentrations that approximate those of the MSCI World Growth ex-U.S. Index (World Growth ex-U.S. Index). Portfolio exposure is generally limited to 5% of assets in any single issuer, subject to exceptions for the most heavily weighted securities in the World Growth ex-U.S. Index. The fund will generally invest in securities of issuers based in the countries represented in the World Growth ex-U.S. Index, which includes both developed and emerging markets issuers. In addition, the fund may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs).</font><br/><br/><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The subadviser pursues a bottom-up strategy that blends quantitative and qualitative analysis to find growth companies with superior earnings prospects, reasonable valuations and favorable trading-volume and price patterns. A stock becomes a sell candidate if the subadviser detects deterioration in the company&#8217;s earnings growth potential. The subadviser may also trim positions to adhere to capitalization or capacity constraints, or to adjust stock position size relative to the World Growth ex-U.S. Index.</font><br/><br/><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy.</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #003f49"size="4">Principal risks</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund&#8217;s shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual fund&#8217;s performance. </font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Instability in the financial markets has led many governments, including the United States government, to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility and, in some cases, a lack of liquidity. Federal, state and other governments, and their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, may take actions that affect the regulation of the instruments in which the fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that are unforeseeable. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective. </font> <br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Governments or their agencies may also acquire distressed assets from financial institutions and acquire ownership interests in those institutions. The implications of government ownership and disposition of these assets are unclear, and such a program may have positive or negative effects on the liquidity, valuation and performance of the fund&#8217;s portfolio holdings. Furthermore, volatile financial markets can expose the fund to greater market and liquidity risk and potential difficulty in valuing portfolio instruments held by the fund.</font> <br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> The fund&#8217;s main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order. <i>Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 5 of the prospectus.</i></font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Active management risk </b> The subadviser&#8217;s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Currency risk </b> Fluctuations in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund&#8217;s investments. Currency risk includes both the risk that currencies in which a fund&#8217;s investments are traded, or currencies in which a fund has taken an active position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Emerging markets risk </b> The risks of investing in foreign securities are greater for investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience higher inflation, interest rates and unemployment as well as greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties than more developed countries. </font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Equity securities risk </b> The value of a company&#8217;s equity securities is subject to changes in the company&#8217;s financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions. The securities of growth companies are subject to greater price fluctuations than other types of stocks because their market prices tend to place greater emphasis on future earnings expectations. </font> <br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Foreign securities risk </b> As compared to U.S. companies, there may be less publicly available information relating to foreign companies. Foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes. The value of foreign securities is subject to currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. Investments in emerging-market countries are subject to greater levels of foreign investment risk.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>High portfolio turnover risk </b> Actively trading securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> <b>Initial public offerings risk </b> IPO shares may have a magnified impact on fund performance and are frequently volatile in price. They can be held for a short period of time causing an increase in portfolio turnover.</font> <br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Issuer risk </b> An issuer of a security may perform poorly and, therefore, the value of its stocks and bonds may decline. An issuer of securities held by the fund could default or have its credit rating downgraded.</font> <br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Liquidity risk </b>Exposure exists when trading volume, lack of a market maker or legal restrictions impair the ability to sell particular securities or close derivative positions at an advantageous price.</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #003f49"size="4">Past performance</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The following performance information in the bar chart and table below illustrates the variability of the fund&#8217;s returns and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the fund by showing changes in the fund&#8217;s performance from year to year. However, past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate future results. All figures assume dividend reinvestment. Performance for the fund is updated daily, monthly and quarterly and may be obtained at our Web site: www.jhfunds.com/FundPerformance, or by calling 1-800-344-1029 between 8:00 <font style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">a.m.</font> and 7:00 <font style="FONT-VARIANT: small-caps">p.m.</font>, Eastern Time, on most business days.</font><br/><br/><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>Average annual total returns </b> Performance of a broad-based market index is included for comparison.</font><br/><br/><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><b>After-tax returns </b> They reflect the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect as of the date provided and do not reflect any state or local taxes.

Currency risk includes both the risk that currencies in which a fund&#8217;s investments are traded, or currencies in which a fund has taken an active position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar.<br/><br/><b>Emerging markets risk </b>The risks of investing in foreign securities are greater for investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may experience higher inflation, interest rates and unemployment as well as greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties than more developed countries.<br/><br/><b>Equity securities risk </b>The value of a company&#8217;s equity securities is subject to changes in the company&#8217;s financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions. The securities of growth companies are subject to greater price fluctuations than other types of stocks because their market prices tend to place greater emphasis on future earnings expectations.<br/><br/><b>Foreign securities risk </b>As compared to U.S. companies, there may be less publicly available information relating to foreign companies. Foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes. The value of foreign securities is subject to currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments. Investments in emerging-market countries are subject to greater levels of foreign investment risk.<br/><br/><b>High portfolio turnover risk </b>Actively trading securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions.<br/><br/><b>Initial public offerings risk </b>IPO shares may have a magnified impact on fund performance and are frequently volatile in price. They can be held for a short period of time causing an increase in portfolio turnover.<br/><br/><b>Issuer risk </b>An issuer of a security may perform poorly and, therefore, the value of its stocks and bonds may decline. An issuer of securities held by the fund could default or have its credit rating downgraded.<br/><br/><b>Liquidity risk </b>Exposure exists when trading volume, lack of a market maker or legal restrictions impair the ability to sell particular securities or close derivative positions at an advantageous price.</font> <font style="font-family:Arial" size="2"><b>Calendar year total returns &#8212; Class I </b>(%)</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #003f49" size="4">Past performance</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The following performance information in the bar chart and table below illustrates the variability of the fund&#8217;s returns and provides some indication of the risks of investing in the fund by showing changes in the fund&#8217;s performance from year to year.

More information about these and other discounts is available on pages 12-13 of the prospectus under &#8220;Sales charge reductions and waivers&#8221; or pages 69-71 of the fund&#8217;s statement of additional information under &#8220;Initial Sales Charge on Class A Shares.&#8221; </font> <font style="font-family:Arial" size="2"><b> Shareholder fees</b> (%) (fees paid directly from your investment) </font> <font style="font-family:Arial" size="2"><b>Annual fund operating expenses</b> (%)<br /> (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment) </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #7e9029" size="4">Portfolio turnover </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or &#8220;turns over&#8221; its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund&#8217;s performance. During the most recent fiscal year of the predecessor to the fund, the Turner International Growth Fund, a series of Turner Funds (the predecessor fund), the fund&#8217;s portfolio turnover rate was 210% of the average value of its portfolio. </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #7e9029" size="4">Expense example </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds.

The fund may continue to hold securities of companies whose market capitalization was within such range at the time of purchase but whose current market capitalization may be outside of that range. The fund invests in securities of companies that are diversified across economic sectors, and attempts to maintain sector concentrations that approximate those of the MSCI World Growth ex-U.S. Index (World Growth ex-U.S. Index). Portfolio exposure is generally limited to 5% of assets in any single issuer, subject to exceptions for the most heavily weighted securities in the World Growth ex-U.S. Index. The fund will generally invest in securities of issuers based in the countries represented in the World Growth ex-U.S. Index, which includes both developed and emerging markets issuers. In addition, the fund may invest in initial public offerings (IPOs).</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The subadviser pursues a <font style="WHITE-SPACE: nowrap">bottom-up</font> strategy that blends quantitative and qualitative analysis to find growth companies with superior earnings prospects, reasonable valuations and favorable trading-volume and price patterns. A stock becomes a sell candidate if the subadviser detects deterioration in the company&#8217;s earnings growth potential. The subadviser may also trim positions to adhere to capitalization or capacity constraints, or to adjust stock position size relative to the World Growth ex-U.S. Index.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">The fund may buy and sell securities frequently as part of its investment strategy.</font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica; COLOR: #7e9029" size="4">Principal risks </font> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2">An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency.

Many factors influence a mutual fund&#8217;s performance.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Instability in the financial markets has led many governments, including the United States government, to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility and, in some cases, a lack of liquidity. Federal, state and other governments, and their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, may take actions that affect the regulation of the instruments in which the fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that are unforeseeable. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the fund&#8217;s ability to achieve its investment objective.</font><br /><br /><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica" size="2"> Governments or their agencies may also acquire distressed assets from financial institutions and acquire ownership interests in those institutions. The implications of government ownership and disposition of these assets are unclear, and such a program may have positive or negative effects on the liquidity, valuation and performance of the fund&#8217;s portfolio holdings.
