These may include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds and debentures, as well as U.S. government and agency securities. Although the fund may invest in bonds of any maturity, it maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of between three and ten years. In managing the funds portfolio, the subadviser concentrates on sector allocation, industry allocation and security selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. When making sector and industry allocations, the subadviser tries to anticipate shifts in the business cycle by using top-down analysis to determine which sectors and industries may benefit over the next 12 months. In choosing individual securities, the subadviser uses bottom-up research to find securities that appear comparatively undervalued. The subadviser looks at bonds of many different issuers, potentially including U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign governments and corporations. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities and may engage in derivative transactions that include futures contracts and options, in each case, for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure and/or enhancing investment returns. The funds investments in U.S. government and agency securities may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.

These may include, but are not limited to, domestic and foreign corporate bonds, debentures and notes, convertible securities, preferred securities and domestic and foreign government obligations. No more than 10% of the funds total assets may be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated in default by Standard & Poors (S&P) or by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys). There is no limit on the funds average maturity. In managing the funds portfolio, the subadviser concentrates on industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of industries to emphasize at a given time and then which individual securities to buy. The subadviser uses top-down analysis to determine which industries may benefit from current and future changes in the economy. The fund may hold up to 20% of its total assets in the securities of companies in any one industry and up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of any individual issuer. In choosing individual securities, the subadviser uses bottom-up research to find securities that appear comparatively undervalued. The subadviser looks at the financial condition of the issuers, as well as the collateralization and other features of the securities themselves. The fund typically invests in a broad range of industries. The fund may use certain higher-risk investments, including restricted or illiquid securities and derivatives, which include futures contracts on securities, indexes and foreign currency; options on futures contracts, securities, indexes and foreign currency; interest rate, foreign currency and credit default swaps; and foreign currency forward contracts, in each case, for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure and/or enhancing investment returns. In addition, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in U.S. and foreign common stocks of companies of any size. Calendar year total returns — Class A (%) Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government and its agencies, authorities or instrumentalities (U.S. government securities).

It may also invest up to 10% of assets in foreign government high-yield securities (junk bonds) rated as low as B and their unrated equivalents. In managing the funds portfolio, the subadviser considers interest rate trends to determine which types of bonds to emphasize at a given time. The fund typically favors mortgage-related securities when it anticipates that interest rates will be relatively stable and favors U.S. Treasuries at other times. Because high-yield bonds often respond to market movements differently from U.S. government bonds, the fund may use them to manage volatility. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities and may engage in derivative transactions that include futures contracts and options, in each case, for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure and/or enhancing investment returns.

The funds shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual funds performance. 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 funds ability to achieve its investment objective. 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 funds 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. The funds main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order. Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 6 of the prospectus. Active management risk The subadvisers investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Changing distribution levels risk The distribution amounts paid by the fund generally depend on the amount of income and/or dividends paid by the funds investments. Credit and counterparty risk The issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract or a borrower of a funds securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon the nature of their support. Funds that invest in fixed-income securities are subject to varying degrees of risk that the issuers of the securities will have their credit rating downgraded or will default, potentially reducing a funds share price and income level. Fixed-income securities risk Fixed-income securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit quality. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the fund, the more sensitive the fund is likely to be to interest-rate changes. There is the possibility that the issuer of the security will not repay all or a portion of the principal borrowed and will not make all interest payments. Foreign securities risk 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. Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions risk Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase the volatility of a fund and, if the transaction is not successful, could result in a significant loss to a fund. The use of derivative instruments could produce disproportionate gains or losses, more than the principal amount invested. Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become harder to value or sell at a fair price. The following is a list of certain derivatives and other strategic transactions in which the fund intends to invest and the main risks associated with each of them:<blockquote>Futures contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving futures contracts. Options Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving options. Counterparty risk does not apply to exchange-traded options.</blockquote>Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield securities risk Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield fixed-income securities (commonly known as junk bonds) are subject to greater credit quality risk and risk of default than higher-rated fixed-income securities. These securities may be considered speculative and the value of these securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk Different types of mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are subject to different combinations of prepayment, extension, interest-rate and/or other market risks. 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 funds shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual funds performance.

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 funds 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. The funds main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order. Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 6 of the prospectus. Active management risk The subadvisers investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Changing distribution levels risk The distribution amounts paid by the fund generally depend on the amount of income and/or dividends paid by the funds investments. Credit and counterparty risk The issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract or a borrower of a funds securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees of credit risk depending upon the nature of their support. Funds that invest in fixed-income securities are subject to varying degrees of risk that the issuers of the securities will have their credit rating downgraded or will default, potentially reducing a funds share price and income level. Fixed-income securities risk Fixed-income securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit quality. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the fund, the more sensitive the fund is likely to be to interest-rate changes. There is the possibility that the issuer of the security will not repay all or a portion of the principal borrowed and will not make all interest payments. Foreign securities risk 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. Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions risk Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase the volatility of a fund and, if the transaction is not successful, could result in a significant loss to a fund. The use of derivative instruments could produce disproportionate gains or losses, more than the principal amount invested. Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become harder to value or sell at a fair price. The following is a list of certain derivatives and other strategic transactions in which the fund intends to invest and the main risks associated with each of them: <blockquote>Futures contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving futures contracts. Options Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving options. Counterparty risk does not apply to exchange-traded options. </blockquote>High portfolio turnover risk Actively trading securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions. Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield securities risk Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield fixed-income securities (commonly known as junk bonds) are subject to greater credit quality risk and risk of default than higher-rated fixed-income securities. These securities may be considered speculative and the value of these securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell. Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk Different types of mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities are subject to different combinations of prepayment, extension, interest-rate and/or other market risks. Sector investing risk Because the fund may focus on a single sector of the economy, its performance depends in large part on the performance of that sector. As a result, the value of your investment may fluctuate more widely than it would in a fund that is diversified across sectors. 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 funds shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual funds performance. 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 funds ability to achieve its investment objective. 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 funds 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. The funds main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order. Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 6 of the prospectus. Active management risk The subadvisers investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result. Changing distribution levels risk The distribution amounts paid by the fund generally depend on the amount of income and/or dividends paid by the funds investments. As a result of market, interest rate and other circumstances, the amount of cash available for distribution and the funds distribution rate may vary or decline. The risk of such variability may be accentuated in prevailing market and interest rate circumstances. Credit and counterparty risk The issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract or a borrower of a funds securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise honor its obligations. Funds that invest in fixed-income securities are subject to varying degrees of risk that the issuers of the securities will have their credit rating downgraded or will default, potentially reducing a funds share price and income level. Equity securities risk The value of a companys equity securities is subject to changes in the companys financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions. Fixed-income securities risk Fixed-income securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit quality. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the fund, the more sensitive the fund is likely to be to interest-rate changes. There is the possibility that the issuer of the security will not repay all or a portion of the principal borrowed and will not make all interest payments.

Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become harder to value or sell at a fair price. The following is a list of certain derivatives and other strategic transactions in which the fund intends to invest and the main risks associated with each of them:<blockquote>Credit default swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), interest-rate risk, risk of default of the underlying reference obligation and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving credit default swaps. Foreign currency forward contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), foreign currency risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), foreign currency risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving foreign currency swaps. Futures contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving futures contracts. Interest-rate swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), interest-rate risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving interest-rate swaps. Options Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving options. Counterparty risk does not apply to exchange-traded options.</blockquote>Issuer risk 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. Liquidity risk 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. Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield securities risk Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield fixed-income securities (commonly known as junk bonds) are subject to greater credit quality risk and risk of default than higher-rated fixed-income securities. These securities may be considered speculative and the value of these securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell. Medium and smaller company risk The prices of medium and smaller company stocks can change more frequently and dramatically than those of large company stocks. For purposes of the funds investment policies, the market capitalization of a company is based on its market capitalization at the time the fund purchases the companys securities. Market capitalizations of companies change over time. Sector investing risk Because the fund may focus on a single sector of the economy, its performance depends in large part on the performance of that sector.

As a result, the value of your investment may fluctuate more widely than it would in a fund that is diversified across sectors. The fund's shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Past performance Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in investment-grade bonds (securities rated from AAA to BBB). These may include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds and debentures, as well as U.S. government and agency securities. Although the fund may invest in bonds of any maturity, it maintains a dollar-weighted average maturity of between three and ten years. In managing the fund’s portfolio, the subadviser concentrates on sector allocation, industry allocation and security selection, deciding which types of bonds and industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which individual bonds to buy. When making sector and industry allocations, the subadviser tries to anticipate shifts in the business cycle by using top-down analysis to determine which sectors and industries may benefit over the next 12 months. In choosing individual securities, the subadviser uses bottom-up research to find securities that appear comparatively undervalued. The subadviser looks at bonds of many different issuers, potentially including U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign governments and corporations. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities and may engage in derivative transactions that include futures contracts and options, in each case, for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure and/or enhancing investment returns. The fund’s investments in U.S. government and agency securities may or may not be supported by the full faith and credit of the United States. Past performance However, past performance (before and after taxes) does not indicate future results.

These may include, but are not limited to, domestic and foreign corporate bonds, debentures and notes, convertible securities, preferred securities and domestic and foreign government obligations. No more than 10% of the funds total assets may be invested in securities that, at the time of purchase, are rated in default by Standard & Poors (S&P) or by Moodys Investors Service (Moodys). There is no limit on the funds average maturity. In managing the funds portfolio, the subadviser concentrates on industry allocation and securities selection, deciding which types of industries to emphasize at a given time and then which individual securities to buy. The subadviser uses top-down analysis to determine which industries may benefit from current and future changes in the economy. The fund may hold up to 20% of its total assets in the securities of companies in any one industry and up to 10% of its total assets in the securities of any individual issuer. In choosing individual securities, the subadviser uses bottom-up research to find securities that appear comparatively undervalued. The subadviser looks at the financial condition of the issuers, as well as the collateralization and other features of the securities themselves. The fund typically invests in a broad range of industries. The fund may use certain higher-risk investments, including restricted or illiquid securities and derivatives, which include futures contracts on securities, indexes and foreign currency; options on futures contracts, securities, indexes and foreign currency; interest rate, foreign currency and credit default swaps; and foreign currency forward contracts, in each case, for the purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure and/or enhancing investment returns. In addition, the fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in U.S. and foreign common stocks of companies of any size. 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.

Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become harder to value or sell at a fair price. The following is a list of certain derivatives and other strategic transactions in which the fund intends to invest and the main risks associated with each of them:<blockquote>Credit default swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), interest-rate risk, risk of default of the underlying reference obligation and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving credit default swaps. Foreign currency forward contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), foreign currency risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving foreign currency forward contracts. Foreign currency swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), foreign currency risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving foreign currency swaps. Futures contracts Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving futures contracts. Interest-rate swaps Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions), interest-rate risk and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving interest-rate swaps. Options Counterparty risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal risks of engaging in transactions involving options. Counterparty risk does not apply to exchange-traded options.</blockquote>Issuer risk 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. Liquidity risk 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. Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield securities risk Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield fixed-income securities (commonly known as junk bonds) are subject to greater credit quality risk and risk of default than higher-rated fixed-income securities. These securities may be considered speculative and the value of these securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer, political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell. Medium and smaller company risk The prices of medium and smaller company stocks can change more frequently and dramatically than those of large company stocks. For purposes of the funds investment policies, the market capitalization of a company is based on its market capitalization at the time the fund purchases the companys securities. Market capitalizations of companies change over time. Sector investing risk Because the fund may focus on a single sector of the economy, its performance depends in large part on the performance of that sector. As a result, the value of your investment may fluctuate more widely than it would in a fund that is diversified across sectors. <div style="display:none">~ http://www.jhfunds.com/role/ScheduleAverageAnnualTotalReturnsTransposedJohnHancockHighYieldFund column period compact * ~</div> The funds shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund.
