A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
Both stocks and bonds posted negative returns during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022, leaving investors with few places to hide. Persistent inflation and rising interest rates were the primary drivers of the downturn in both asset classes. Inflation—which had already begun to move higher throughout 2021—was exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as well as the sanctions and additional supply chain disruptions that followed. Central banks responded to the price pressures by winding down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and beginning to raise rates aggressively, leading to poor performance and high volatility for nearly all segments of the financial markets.
Bonds suffered historically weak returns, with emerging-market debt and longer-term issues bearing the brunt of the weakness. In the equity market, growth stocks—which had led the way higher throughout the rally in 2021—were notable underperformers in the subsequent downturn. On the other hand, the energy sector and many oil-producing nations generally posted gains behind impressive strength in the related commodities.
In these uncertain times, your financial professional can assist with positioning your portfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to help meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable bouts of market volatility along the way.
On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investment Management, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders and thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Arnott
Global Head of Retail,
Manulife Investment Management

Multimanager Lifetime Portfolios’ strategy at a glance
A SIMPLE, STRATEGIC PATH TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR RETIREMENT GOALS

Multimanager Lifetime Portfolios make diversification easy because the asset mix of each portfolio automatically changes over time.
Portfolios with dates further off initially invest more aggressively in stock funds.
As a portfolio approaches its target date,1 the allocation will gradually migrate to more conservative fixed-income funds.
Once the target date is reached, the allocation will continue to become increasingly conservative until it reaches the end of its glide path, investing primarily in fixed-income funds.

Management’s discussion of portfolio performance
Can you describe the investment conditions during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022?
A broad range of adverse headlines led to pronounced weakness across the global financial markets during this time. Most notably, persistently high inflation prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and many other world central banks to wind down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and begin raising interest rates. The Fed hiked rates by 25 basis points (one-quarter of one percentage point) at its March 2022 meeting, 50 basis points in May, and another 75 basis points in both June and July. In addition, investors continued to anticipate further aggressive tightening before the end of the year. A litany of other events contributed to the financial market downturn, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, persistent supply chain disruptions, and—late in the period—fears that Europe was entering the early stages of an energy crisis. Together, these factors raised concerns about a sharp slowdown in economic growth and a potential decline in corporate earnings.
Stocks were hit hard by these developments, with broad-based losses for all major segments of the market except for the energy sector. Faster-growing companies, including the mega-cap U.S. technology stocks that led the major indexes higher in 2020 and 2021, generally underperformed in the subsequent downturn. The value style, while losing ground in absolute terms, outpaced the broader market thanks in part to strength in the energy sector. International equities also lagged, with Europe and China weighing on the performance of the developed and emerging markets, respectively.
Bonds experienced elevated volatility and weak returns, as well. Interest-rate-sensitive issues were pressured by the shift in Fed policy: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which came into the period at 1.30%, rose to 3.15% by the end of August 2022. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Credit-oriented investments also suffered weakness amid worries about the impact of slowing economic growth.
What elements of the portfolios’ positioning helped and hurt results?
Consistent with this challenging investment backdrop, all portfolios posted negative absolute returns in the annual period. They also lagged their respective benchmarks primarily as a result of the collective underperformance of the underlying managers. The majority

of the shortfall occurred on the equity side. The most pronounced weakness occurred in the developed- and emerging-market international categories, followed by domestic large- and mid-cap growth. Manager performance in fixed income was also a slight detractor.
Asset allocation contributed to performance in John Hancock Multimanager 2010, 2015, and 2020 Lifetime Portfolios. All three benefited from their allocation to a real assets portfolio, which was boosted by its position in energy stocks—one of the few areas of the financial markets to deliver positive returns. An underweight in international equities also contributed, as did an allocation to defensive equities. We’ve long held a position in defensive stocks as a way to provide ballast in volatile markets, and the category indeed outperformed in the difficult environment of the past year. These contributions were offset, to some extent, by the adverse effect of allocation in fixed income. Here, the portfolios were hurt by their allocations to emerging-market bonds and U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS). The former category was pressured by risk-off sentiment, while the latter was adversely affected by its above-average interest-rate sensitivity. We added STRIPS to the portfolios in 2020 as a way to offset potential downside risk in stocks, but the category in fact performed poorly from the beginning of 2022 onward as yields rose.
Allocation detracted across all other portfolios. Although the primary drivers of performance were the same as in the three portfolios mentioned above, here the negative effect of positioning in fixed income outweighed the contribution on the equity side. In addition, the longer-dated portfolios had smaller allocations to real assets and as a result gained less of a benefit from the strength in this area.
All portfolios in the series achieved a minor benefit from having a modest allocation to absolute return strategies. These holdings are intended to provide diversification thanks to their lower sensitivity to broader market movements. 
How would you describe the portfolios’ positioning at period end?
Our core view over the past year was that the world economy continued to face important challenges that were likely to translate to muted returns for the major asset categories. We therefore steadily moved the portfolios in a more defensive direction, and we sought to diversify into asset classes with lower vulnerability to prevailing trends. Our decision to reduce the portfolios’ weighting in equities represented the most notable shift. We decreased exposure to U.S. large-cap growth stocks, whose multi-year run of outperformance versus value made the latter category more attractive on a relative basis. We also lowered the portfolios’ weightings in small-cap domestic equities as part of our shift away from more volatile asset categories, and in international stocks given the ongoing challenges facing the asset class.
Conversely, we made modest increases in areas that may be better positioned to withstand rising inflation, including the real assets portfolio (in John Hancock Multimanager 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2035, 2040, and 2045 Lifetime Portfolios) as well as
4 JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS  | ANNUAL REPORT  

short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (in John Hancock Multimanager 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030 Lifetime Portfolios). We also shifted the equity allocation more toward defensive stocks in anticipation of further market volatility.
We remained cautious at the close of the period, even though a large degree of bad news had already been factored into asset prices. There may be some relief from inflationary pressures eventually, but it will likely take time for central banks’ tightening measures to work. We believe this environment indicates that investors should only expect muted returns from domestic large-cap stocks and rate-sensitive core bonds, the two market segments that are usually most heavily represented in typical asset allocation portfolios. We therefore continue to seek opportunities to diversify outside of these widely held asset classes into areas where we see more attractive risk/return profiles.

Notes about risk
The portfolios may be subject to various risks as described in the portfolios’ prospectus. Political tensions and armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and any resulting economic sanctions on entities and/or individuals of a particular country could lead such a country into an economic recession. The COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions, and closures,which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect portfolio performance. For more information, please refer to the “Principal risks” section of the prospectus.
The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Nathan W. Thooft, CFA, and Robert E. Sykes, CFA, Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice. Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may not have been held by the portfolio for the entire period. Portfolio composition is subject to review in accordance with the portfolio’s investment strategy and may vary in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS 17

Your expenses
As a shareholder of a John Hancock Funds II Multimanager Lifetime Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchases or redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. In addition to the operating expenses which each portfolio bears directly, each portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which each portfolio invests. Because underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs, and a portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. Had these indirect expenses been reflected in the following analysis, total expenses would have been higher than the amounts shown.
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a portfolio so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022).
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 the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account 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 line under 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 expenses based 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 the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a portfolio 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 remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid 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. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. See the portfolios’ prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, twelve of which are presented in this report (collectively, Multimanager Lifetime Portfolios, or the portfolios and individually, the portfolio). The portfolios operate as “funds of funds” that may invest in affiliated underlying funds of the Trust, other funds in the John Hancock group of funds complex, non-John Hancock funds and certain other permitted investments.
The portfolios may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by the portfolios are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R2, Class R4 and Class R5 shares are available only to certain retirement and 529 plans. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class 1 shares are offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.
The investment objective of each portfolio is to seek high total return through the portfolio’s target retirement date, with a greater focus on income beyond the target date. Total return, commonly understood as the combination of income and capital appreciation, includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over a given period of time.
The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which the portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds’ shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds’ financial statements. These are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. John Hancock underlying funds’ shareholder reports are also available without charge by calling 800-225-5291 or visiting jhinvestments.com. The underlying funds are not covered by this report.
Note 2Significant 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 those estimates and those differences could be significant. The portfolios qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US 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 the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the portfolios:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.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 the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the portfolios’ Valuation Policies and Procedures.
In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: Investments in affiliated underlying funds and other open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically 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 sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading 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 by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.
The portfolios use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Level 3 includes securities valued at $0. Refer to Portfolios’ investments.
Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are securities that generally have a lower coupon interest rate fixed at issuance but whose principal value is periodically adjusted based on a rate of inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, interest is paid on the inflation adjusted principal value as described above. Increases in the principal amount of these securities are recorded as interest income. Decreases in the principal amount of these securities may reduce interest income to the extent of income previously recorded. If these decreases are in excess of income previously recorded, an adjustment to the cost of the security is made.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped security. If the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the portfolios may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates or prepayments on the underlying securities. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the portfolios may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the portfolio becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.
  ANNUAL REPORT | JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS 63

Foreign taxes. The portfolios may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the portfolios’ understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the portfolios as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.
Overdraft. The portfolios may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the portfolios’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the portfolios to make properly authorized payments. The portfolios are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any portfolio property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Line of credit. The portfolios and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a portfolio can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 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 each participating portfolio based on a combination of fixed and asset-based allocations and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the year ended August 31, 2022, the portfolios had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the year ended August 31, 2022 were as follows:
Portfolio Commitment fee

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual portfolio are allocated to such portfolio. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among all portfolios in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the portfolio’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the portfolio level and allocated daily to each class of shares 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, are charged 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 portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of August 31, 2022, the portfolios had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

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 portfolios’ financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains from underlying 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 the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the portfolios. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the portfolios. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.
Management fee. The portfolios have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor as detailed below. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The management fee has two components: (1) a fee on assets invested in a fund of the Trust or John Hancock Funds III (JHF III) (Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III); and (2) a fee on assets invested in investments other than a fund of the Trust or JHF III (Other assets). Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the portfolios, similar portfolios of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (JHVIT), and similar portfolios of the Trust. JHVIT funds are advised by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC and are distributed by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Distributors, LLC.
Management fees are determined in accordance with the following schedule:
  First $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets Excess over $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets
Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III 0.060% 0.050%
Other assets 0.510% 0.500%
Expense reimbursements. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees or if necessary make payment to each portfolio in an amount by which certain expenses, including underlying fund expenses (acquired fund fees), exceed the amount indicated below of the respective portfolio’s average net assets. This expense limitation agreement expires on December 31, 2022, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

Payments under this arrangement are intended to reimburse the portfolios for a portion of the indirect net expenses associated with the portfolios’ investments in underlying funds. Amounts received in excess of portfolio level operating expenses, if any, are included as Other income received from advisor in the Statements of operations.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee for each portfolio so that the aggregate management fee retained by the Advisor with respect to both the portfolio and its underlying investments (after payment of subadvisory fees) does not exceed 0.51% of the portfolio’s first $7.5 billion of average daily net assets and 0.50% of the portfolio’s average daily net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. The Advisor may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Trust.

Note 8Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions, and closures, which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect portfolio performance.

Basis for Opinions      
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) and the Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds).  The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 21-23, 2022 videoconference1 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a videoconference meeting held on May 24-25, 2022. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm. 
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At videoconference meetings held on June 21-23, 2022, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and Manulife Investment Management (US) (the Subadvisor) with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’s affiliates, including distribution services. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review.  In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent 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, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the

1On June 19, 2020, as a result of health and safety measures put in place to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an exemptive order (the “Order”) pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that temporarily exempts registered investment management companies from the in-person voting requirements under the 1940 Act, subject to certain requirements, including that votes taken pursuant to the Order are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Order was necessary or appropriate due to the circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 and therefore, the Board’s May and June meetings were held via videoconference in reliance on the Order. This exemptive order supersedes, in part, a similar earlier exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the complex (the John Hancock Fund Complex).
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationship, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment adviser to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report 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 its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangements generally 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 the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective peer group and benchmark index and concluded that the performance of the Funds have generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and benchmark index as noted in Appendix A.
Fees and expenses.  The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds.  In addition, the Board took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further 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 the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund and that each Fund has breakpoints in its contractual management fee schedule that reduces management fees as assets increase. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and a Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
102 JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS  | ANNUAL REPORT  

In addition, the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Profitability/Indirect benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisor) from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock fund complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the funds, and that the Trust’s distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the Funds;
(h)noted that the funds’ Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(i)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(j)noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor;
(k)with respect to each Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee is in addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to the underlying funds in which the Funds may invest;
(l)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(m)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that 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 affiliate (the Subadvisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that with respect to the John Hancock underlying funds in which the Funds invest, the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for such funds and for each of the other John Hancock funds in the complex (except as discussed below) (the Participating Portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the Participating Portfolios (the Reimbursement). This waiver is based upon the aggregate net assets of all the Participating Portfolios. The funds that are not Participating Portfolios as of the date of this annual report are each of the funds of funds of the Trust and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and John Hancock Collateral Trust. The Funds also benefit from such overall management fee waiver through their investment in underlying funds that include certain of the Participating Portfolios, which are subject to the Reimbursement;
(b)reviewed the Trust’s advisory fee structure and concluded that (i) the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the advisory fee level and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured with precision, these arrangements permit shareholders of the Funds to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds; and;
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third party provider of fund data.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to a Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed by them to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock fund complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer group was not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the performance of each Fund has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and the benchmark index, as noted in Appendix A;
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds and the advisory fee for each of the funds contains breakpoints that permit shareholders to benefit from economies of scale.
In addition, the Trustees reviewed the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and that the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (LRMP) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Liquidity Rule). The Board of Trustees (the Board) of each Fund in the John Hancock Group of Funds (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule has appointed John Hancock Investment Management LLC and John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC (together, the Advisor) to serve as Administrator of the LRMP with respect to each of the Funds, including John Hancock Multimanager 2065 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2060 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2055 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2050 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2045 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2040 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2035 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2030 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2025 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2020 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multimanager 2015 Lifetime Portfolio and John Hancock Multimanager 2010 Lifetime Portfolio, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to provide a mechanism and process to perform the functions necessary to administer the LRMP, the Advisor established the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). The Portfolios’ subadvisor(s), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (the Subadvisor) executes the day-to-day investment management and security-level activities of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the LRMP, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
The Committee receives monthly reports and holds quarterly meetings to: (1) review the day-to-day operations of the LRMP; (2) monitor current market and liquidity conditions; (3) review and approve month-end liquidity classifications; (4) monitor illiquid investment levels against the 15% limit on illiquid investments and established Highly Liquid Investment Minimums (HLIMs), if any; (5) review quarterly testing and determinations, as applicable; (6) review redemption-in-kind activities; and (7) review other LRMP related material. The Advisor also conducts daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual quantitative and qualitative assessments of each subadvisor to a Fund that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule and is a part of the LRMP to monitor investment performance issues, risks and trends. In addition, the Advisor may conduct ad-hoc reviews and meetings with subadvisors as issues and trends are identified, including potential liquidity issues. The Committee also monitors global events, such as the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and amendments to the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned company lists, that could impact the markets and liquidity of portfolio investments and their classifications.
The Committee provided the Board at a meeting held by videoconference on March 22-24, 2022 with a written report which addressed the Committee’s assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation and operation of the LRMP and any material changes to the LRMP. The report, which covered the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, included an assessment of important aspects of the LRMP including, but not limited to: (1) Security-level liquidity classifications; (2) Fund-level liquidity risk assessment; (3) Reasonably Anticipated Trade Size (RATS) determination; (4) HLIM determination; (5) Compliance with the 15% limit on illiquid investments; (6) Operation of the Fund’s Redemption-In-Kind Procedures; and (7) Review of liquidity management facilities.
Additionally, the report included a discussion of notable changes and enhancements to the LRMP implemented during 2021 and key initiatives for 2022.
The report also covered material liquidity matters which occurred or were reported during this period applicable to the Fund, if any, and the Committee’s actions to address such matters.
The report stated, in relevant part, that during the period covered by the report:
The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund structure;
The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund;
The Fund did not report any breaches of the 15% limit on illiquid investments that would require reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission;
The Fund continued to qualify as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund under the Liquidity Rule and therefore is not required to establish a HLIM; and
The Chief Compliance Officer’s office, as a part of their annual Rule 38a-1 assessment of the Fund’s policies and procedures, reviewed the LRMP’s control environment and deemed it to be operating effectively and in compliance with the Board approved procedures.
Adequacy and Effectiveness
Based on the review and assessment conducted by the Committee, the Committee has determined that the LRMP and its controls have been implemented and are operating in a manner that is adequately and effectively managing the liquidity risk of the Fund.

A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
Both stocks and bonds posted negative returns during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022, leaving investors with few places to hide. Persistent inflation and rising interest rates were the primary drivers of the downturn in both asset classes. Inflation—which had already begun to move higher throughout 2021—was exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as well as the sanctions and additional supply chain disruptions that followed. Central banks responded to the price pressures by winding down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and beginning to raise rates aggressively, leading to poor performance and high volatility for nearly all segments of the financial markets.
Bonds suffered historically weak returns, with emerging-market debt and longer-term issues bearing the brunt of the weakness. In the equity market, growth stocks—which had led the way higher throughout the rally in 2021—were notable underperformers in the subsequent downturn. On the other hand, the energy sector and many oil-producing nations generally posted gains behind impressive strength in the related commodities.
In these uncertain times, your financial professional can assist with positioning your portfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to help meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable bouts of market volatility along the way.
On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investment Management, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders and thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Arnott
Global Head of Retail,

Multi-Index Preservation Portfolios at a glance
A SIMPLE, STRATEGIC PATH TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR RETIREMENT GOALS

Multi-Index Preservation Portfolios make diversification easy because the asset mix of each portfolio automatically changes over time.
Portfolios with dates further off initially invest more aggressively in stock funds.
As a portfolio approaches its target date,1 the allocation will gradually migrate to a more conservative mix to lessen risk and narrow the range of possible outcomes at the retirement date.
On reaching the retirement date, the allocation ceases to shift; we expect that the participant may then wish to use the savings to seek a retirement income solution.

Management’s discussion of portfolio performance
Can you describe investment conditions during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022?
A broad range of adverse headlines led to pronounced weakness across the global financial markets during this time. Most notably, persistently high inflation prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and many other world central banks to wind down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and begin raising interest rates. The Fed hiked rates by 25 basis points (one-quarter of one percentage point) at its March 2022 meeting, 50 basis points in May, and another 75 basis points in both June and July. In addition, investors continued to anticipate further aggressive tightening before the end of the year. A litany of other events contributed to the financial market downturn, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, persistent supply chain disruptions, and—late in the period—fears that Europe was entering the early stages of an energy crisis. Together, these factors raised concerns about a sharp slowdown in economic growth and a potential decline in corporate earnings.
Stocks were hit hard by these developments, with broad-based losses for all major segments of the market except for the energy sector. Faster-growing companies, including the mega-cap U.S. technology stocks that led the major indexes higher in 2020 and 2021, generally underperformed in the subsequent downturn. The value style, while losing ground in absolute terms, outpaced the broader market thanks in part to strength in the energy sector. International equities also lagged, with Europe and China weighing on the performance of the developed and emerging markets, respectively.
Bonds experienced elevated volatility and weak returns, as well. Rate-sensitive issues were pressured by the shift in Fed policy: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which came into the period at 1.30%, rose to 3.15% by the end of August 2022. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Credit-oriented investments also suffered weakness amid worries about the impact of slowing economic growth.
Can you review your approach?
The portfolios use a strategic asset allocation glide path with the primary goal of preserving capital across multiple market scenarios. The glide path is designed for investors who are interested in reevaluating their financial planning needs in retirement and who want

  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX PRESERVATION PORTFOLIOS 3

the flexibility to pursue a different retirement spending approach (e.g., the purchase of an annuity). Accordingly, the glide paths are constructed with the dual objective of wealth creation in the longer-dated portfolios and protecting capital as the target dates approach. In determining the portfolios’ allocations, we emphasized value, fundamentals, and diversification as the cornerstones of our strategy. As part of this process, we periodically adjust the portfolios in an effort to capitalize on shorter-term market trends or to mitigate risks.
What elements of the portfolios’ positioning helped and hurt results?
Consistent with this challenging investment backdrop, all portfolios posted negative absolute returns in the annual period. With the exception of John Hancock Multi-Index 2025 and Income Preservation Portfolios, they also lagged their respective benchmarks primarily as a result of the relative performance of their underlying holdings. Since the majority of the individual investment products in the portfolios are passively implemented strategies, the shortfall was largely the result of the expenses and tracking error of these holdings. (Tracking error is the difference in return that can occur from holding a representative sample of securities in an index.) In addition, a limited number of strategies have the ability to make active allocations decisions regarding sectors, countries, and regions. This aspect of our positioning detracted from results across all of the portfolios.
Asset allocation detracted across all portfolios with the exception of John Hancock Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio. Positioning in fixed income was the primary detractor from performance, due primarily to an allocation to U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS). We added STRIPS to the portfolios in 2020 as a way to offset potential downside risk in stocks, but the category in fact performed poorly from the beginning of 2022 onward due to its high degree of interest-rate sensitivity. John Hancock Multi-Index 2025 and 2030 Preservation Portfolios were also hurt by having a position in short-term bonds. While this is typically a more conservative segment of the bond market, it came under pressure from rising interest rates. In all portfolios except John Hancock Multi-Index 2055, 2060, and 2065 Preservation Portfolios, an allocation to emerging-market bonds was an additional detractor. We believed the category could outperform due to its higher income and lower degree of interest-rate sensitivity, but it in fact lagged in the risk-off environment.
On the positive side, all portfolios in the series benefited from having an overweight in bonds over equities (relative to the primary benchmarks). An allocation to a real assets portfolio (in all portfolios except for John Hancock Multi-Index 2055, 2060, 2065, and Preservation Portfolios), which was boosted by its position in energy stocks—one of the few areas of the financial markets to deliver positive returns—was an additional contributor. An underweight in international equities also helped results in all portfolios, as did an allocation to defensive equities in all portfolios except for John Hancock Multi-Index 2055, 2060, and 2065 Preservation Portfolios. We’ve long held a position in defensive stocks as a way to provide ballast in volatile markets, and the category indeed outperformed in the difficult environment of the past year.
Allocations to senior loans and short-term Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)—both of which tend to have a lower degree of
4 JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX PRESERVATION PORTFOLIOS | ANNUAL REPORT  

interest-rate sensitivity—also aided results in John Hancock Multi-Index Income, 2025, and 2030 Preservation Portfolios.
How would you describe the portfolios’ positioning at period end?
Our core view over the past year was that the world economy continued to face important challenges that were likely to translate to muted returns for the major asset categories. We therefore steadily moved the portfolios in a more defensive direction, and we sought to diversify into asset classes with lower vulnerability to prevailing trends. Our decision to decrease the portfolios’ weighting in equities represented the most notable shift. We achieved this by decreasing exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks. We also lowered the weightings in small-cap domestic equities as part of our shift away from more volatile asset categories, and in international stocks given the ongoing challenges facing the asset class.
Conversely, we made modest increases in areas that may be better positioned to withstand rising inflation, including the diversified real assets portfolio (in all portfolios with the exception of John Hancock Multi-Index 2055, 2060, and 2065 Preservation Portfolios), as well as short-term TIPS and bank loans. We also maintained the position in defensive stocks across most portfolios in anticipation of further market volatility.
We remained cautious at the close of the period, even though a large degree of bad news had already been factored into asset prices. We therefore continue to seek opportunities to diversify outside of these widely held asset classes into areas where we see more attractive risk/return profiles.

GROWTH OF $10,000

This chart shows what happened to a hypothetical $10,000 investment in John Hancock Multi-Index 2065 Preservation Portfolio for a share class and periods indicated, assuming all distributions were reinvested. For comparison, we’ve shown the same investment in a blended index and a separate index.

  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX PRESERVATION PORTFOLIOS 15

Your expenses
As a shareholder of a John Hancock Funds II Multi-Index Preservation Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchases or redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. In addition to the operating expenses which each portfolio bears directly, each portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which each portfolio invests. Because underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs, and a portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. Had these indirect expenses been reflected in the following analysis, total expenses would have been higher than the amounts shown.
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a portfolio so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022).
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 the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account 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 line under 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 expenses based 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 the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a portfolio 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 remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid 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. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. See the portfolios’ prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, ten of which are presented in this report (collectively, Multi-Index Preservation Portfolios, or the portfolios and individually, the portfolio). The portfolios operate as “funds of funds” that may invest in affiliated underlying funds of the Trust, other funds in the John Hancock group of funds complex, non-John Hancock funds and certain other permitted investments.
The portfolios may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by the portfolios are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R2 and Class R4 shares are available only to certain retirement and 529 plans. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class 1 shares are offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.
The investment objective of each portfolio, with the exception of Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio, is to seek high total return until the portfolio’s target retirement date, with a greater focus on income as the target date approaches. The investment objective of Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio is to seek total return with a focus on current income. Total return, commonly understood as the combination of income and capital appreciation, includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over a given period of time.
The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which the portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds’ shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds’ financial statements. These are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. John Hancock underlying funds’ shareholder reports are also available without charge by calling 800-225-5291 or visiting jhinvestments.com. The underlying funds are not covered by this report.
Note 2Significant 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 those estimates and those differences could be significant. The portfolios qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US 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 the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the portfolios:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.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 the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the portfolios’ Valuation Policies and Procedures.
In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: Investments by the portfolios in underlying affiliated funds and other open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, held by the portfolios are typically 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 sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading 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 by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level 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 a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The portfolios use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The portfolios use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Level 3 includes securities valued at $0. Refer to Portfolios’ investments.
Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are securities that generally have a lower coupon interest rate fixed at issuance but whose principal value is periodically adjusted based on a rate of inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, interest is paid on the inflation adjusted principal value as described above. Increases in the principal amount of these securities are recorded as interest income. Decreases in the principal amount of these securities may reduce interest income to the extent of income previously recorded. If these decreases are in excess of income previously recorded, an adjustment to the cost of the security is made.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped security. If the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the portfolios may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates or prepayments on the underlying securities. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the portfolios may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the portfolio becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.
Securities lending. The portfolios may lend their securities to earn additional income. The portfolios receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The portfolios may invest their cash collateral in John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), an affiliate of the portfolios, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the SEC as an investment company. JHCT is a prime money market fund and invests in short-term money market investments. Each portfolio will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral. Effective November 19, 2021, JHCT converted to a prime money market fund.
The portfolios have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the portfolios for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities 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 replacement securities, 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 of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the portfolios could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the portfolios will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the portfolios is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the portfolios are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the portfolios and the corresponding cash collateral received at August 31, 2022. In addition, non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged, as indicated below. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the portfolios, and accordingly, is not reflected in the portfolios’ net assets.

Subsequent to August 31, 2022, Multi-Index 2025 Preservation Portfolio returned $17,572,918 of cash collateral to the securities lending agent for securities on loan which were returned on August 31, 2022.
Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Portfolios that invest internationally generally carry more risk than portfolios that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Overdraft. The portfolios may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the portfolios’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the portfolios to make properly authorized payments. The portfolios are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any portfolio property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Line of credit. The portfolios and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a portfolio can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 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 each participating portfolio 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, 2022 were as follows:
Portfolio Commitment fee
Multi-Index 2065 Preservation Portfolio   $3,749
Multi-Index 2060 Preservation Portfolio 4,310

Multi-Index 2030 Preservation Portfolio 7,444
Multi-Index 2025 Preservation Portfolio 6,719
Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio 5,615
Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual portfolio are allocated to such portfolio. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among all portfolios in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the portfolio’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the portfolio level and allocated daily to each class of shares 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, are charged 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 portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of August 31, 2022, the portfolios had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on August 31, 2022, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distributions paid by the portfolios with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. For federal income tax purposes, net capital losses that are a result of security transactions occurring after October 31, 2021, are being deferred and are treated as occurring on September 1, 2022, the first day of the portfolios’ next taxable year. As of August 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

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 portfolios’ financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains from underlying 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 the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the portfolios. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the portfolios. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.
Management fee. The portfolios have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor as detailed below. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The management fee has two components: (1) a fee on assets invested in a fund of the Trust or John Hancock Funds III (JHF III) (Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III); and (2) a fee on assets invested in investments other than a fund of the Trust or JHF III (Other assets). Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the portfolios, similar portfolios of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (JHVIT), and similar portfolios of the Trust. JHVIT funds are advised by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC and are distributed by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Distributors, LLC.
Management fees are determined in accordance with the following schedule:
  First $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets Excess over $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets
Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III 0.060% 0.050%
Other assets 0.510% 0.500%
Expense reimbursements. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees or if necessary make payment to each portfolio in an amount by which certain expenses, including underlying fund expenses (acquired fund fees), exceed the amount indicated below of the respective portfolio’s average net assets. This expense limitation agreement expires on December 31, 2022, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

Payments under this arrangement are intended to reimburse the portfolios for a portion of the indirect net expenses associated with the portfolios’ investments in underlying funds. Amounts received in excess of portfolio level operating expenses, if any, are included as Other income received from advisor in the Statements of operations.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee for each portfolio so that the aggregate management fee retained by the Advisor with respect to both the portfolio and its underlying investments (after payment of subadvisory fees) does not exceed 0.51% of the portfolio’s first $7.5 billion of average annual net assets and 0.50% of the portfolio’s average annual net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. The Advisor may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Trust.

Note 8Reorganization
Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio. On June 25, 2020, the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), voted to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) which provided for an exchange of shares of Multi-Index 2020 Preservation Portfolio (the Acquired Portfolio) and Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio (the Acquiring Portfolio), both series of the Trust, with a value equal to the net assets transferred.
The Agreement provided for (a) the acquisition of all the assets, subject to substantially all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Portfolio in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Portfolio with a value equal to the net assets transferred; (b) the liquidation of the Acquired Portfolio; and (c) the distribution to Acquired Portfolio’s shareholders of such Acquiring Portfolio’s shares. The reorganization was intended to merge similar funds for investors that are in or near retirement and achieve potential opportunities for economies of scale. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiring Portfolio is the legal and accounting survivor.
The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Acquired Portfolio or its shareholders. Thus, the investments were transferred to the Acquiring Portfolio at the Acquired Portfolio’s identified cost. All distributable amounts of net income and realized gains from the Acquired Portfolio were distributed prior to the reorganization. In addition, the expenses of the reorganization were borne by both the Acquired Portfolio and Acquiring Portfolio in proportion to each portfolio’s net assets. The effective time of the reorganization occurred immediately after the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on October 16, 2020. The following outlines the reorganization:

See Note 5 for capital shares issued in connection with the above referenced reorganizations.
Note 9Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
The COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions, and closures, which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect portfolio performance.

Basis for Opinions      
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

 This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) and the Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds).  The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 21-23, 2022 videoconference1 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a videoconference meeting held on May 24-25, 2022. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At videoconference meetings held on June 21-23, 2022, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and the  Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and Manulife Investment Management (US) (the Subadvisor) with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds.  The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’s affiliates, including distribution services.  The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review.  In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent 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, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments.  The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the

1On June 19, 2020, as a result of health and safety measures put in place to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an exemptive order (the “Order”) pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that temporarily exempts registered investment management companies from the in-person voting requirements under the 1940 Act, subject to certain requirements, including that votes taken pursuant to the Order are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Order was necessary or appropriate due to the circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 and therefore, the Board’s May and June meetings were held via videoconference in reliance on the Order. This exemptive order supersedes, in part, a similar, earlier exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the complex.
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationship, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report 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 its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangement generally 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 the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective peer group and benchmark index and concluded that the Fund’s performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate.
Fees and expenses.  The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds.  In addition, the Board took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund and that each Fund has breakpoints in its contractual management fee schedule that reduces management fees as assets increase. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and a Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
72 JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX PRESERVATION PORTFOLIOS | ANNUAL REPORT  

In addition, the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Profitability/indirect benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisor) from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the funds, and that the Trust’s distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the products;
(h)noted that the Funds’ Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(i)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(j)noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor;
(k)with respect to each Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee is in addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to the underlying funds in which the Funds may invest;
(l)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(m)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that 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 affiliate (the Subadvisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that with respect to the John Hancock underlying funds in which the Funds invest, the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for such funds and for each of the other John Hancock funds in the complex (except as discussed below) (the Participating Portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the Participating Portfolios (the Reimbursement). This waiver is based upon the aggregate net assets of all the Participating Portfolios. (The funds that are not Participating Portfolios as of the date of this annual report are each of the funds of funds of the Trust and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and John Hancock Collateral Trust. The Funds also benefit from such overall management fee waiver through their investment in underlying funds that include certain of the Participating Portfolios, which are subject to the Reimbursement);
(b)reviewed the Funds’ advisory fee structure and concluded that (i) the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the advisory fee level and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured with precision, these arrangements permit shareholders of the Funds to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to the Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to an applicable benchmark index and comparable funds; and;
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, and to the extent available, and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third party provider of fund data.
  ANNUAL REPORT | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX PRESERVATION PORTFOLIOS 73

Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock fund complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer group was not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds and compared them to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate);
(3)the subadvisory fee is reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees reviewed the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and that the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (LRMP) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Liquidity Rule). The Board of Trustees (the Board) of each Fund in the John Hancock Group of Funds (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule has appointed John Hancock Investment Management LLC and John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC (together, the Advisor) to serve as Administrator of the LRMP with respect to each of the Funds, including John Hancock Multi-Index 2065 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2060 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2055 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2050 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2045 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2040 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2035 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2030 Preservation Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2025 Preservation Portfolio, and John Hancock Multi-Index Income Preservation Portfolio, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to provide a mechanism and process to perform the functions necessary to administer the LRMP, the Advisor established the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). The Portfolios’ subadvisor(s), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (the Subadvisor) executes the day-to-day investment management and security-level activities of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the LRMP, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
The Committee receives monthly reports and holds quarterly meetings to: (1) review the day-to-day operations of the LRMP; (2) monitor current market and liquidity conditions; (3) review and approve month-end liquidity classifications; (4) monitor illiquid investment levels against the 15% limit on illiquid investments and established Highly Liquid Investment Minimums (HLIMs), if any; (5) review quarterly testing and determinations, as applicable; (6) review redemption-in-kind activities; and (7) review other LRMP related material. The Advisor also conducts daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual quantitative and qualitative assessments of each subadvisor to a Fund that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule and is a part of the LRMP to monitor investment performance issues, risks and trends. In addition, the Advisor may conduct ad-hoc reviews and meetings with subadvisors as issues and trends are identified, including potential liquidity issues. The Committee also monitors global events, such as the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and amendments to the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned company lists, that could impact the markets and liquidity of portfolio investments and their classifications.
The Committee provided the Board at a meeting held by videoconference on March 22-24, 2022 with a written report which addressed the Committee’s assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation and operation of the LRMP and any material changes to the LRMP. The report, which covered the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, included an assessment of important aspects of the LRMP including, but not limited to: (1) Security-level liquidity classifications; (2) Fund-level liquidity risk assessment; (3) Reasonably Anticipated Trade Size (RATS) determination; (4) HLIM determination; (5) Compliance with the 15% limit on illiquid investments; (6) Operation of the Fund’s Redemption-In-Kind Procedures; and (7) Review of liquidity management facilities.
Additionally, the report included a discussion of notable changes and enhancements to the LRMP implemented during 2021 and key initiatives for 2022.
The report also covered material liquidity matters which occurred or were reported during this period applicable to the Fund, if any, and the Committee’s actions to address such matters.
The report stated, in relevant part, that during the period covered by the report:
The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund structure;
The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund;
The Fund did not report any breaches of the 15% limit on illiquid investments that would require reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission;
The Fund continued to qualify as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund under the Liquidity Rule and therefore is not required to establish a HLIM; and
The Chief Compliance Officer’s office, as a part of their annual Rule 38a-1 assessment of the Fund’s policies and procedures, reviewed the LRMP’s control environment and deemed it to be operating effectively and in compliance with the Board approved procedures.
Adequacy and Effectiveness
Based on the review and assessment conducted by the Committee, the Committee has determined that the LRMP and its controls have been implemented and are operating in a manner that is adequately and effectively managing the liquidity risk of the Fund.

A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
Both stocks and bonds posted negative returns during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022, leaving investors with few places to hide. Persistent inflation and rising interest rates were the primary drivers of the downturn in both asset classes. Inflation—which had already begun to move higher throughout 2021—was exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as well as the sanctions and additional supply chain disruptions that followed. Central banks responded to the price pressures by winding down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and beginning to raise rates aggressively, leading to poor performance and high volatility for nearly all segments of the financial markets.
Bonds suffered historically weak returns, with emerging-market debt and longer-term issues bearing the brunt of the weakness. In the equity market, growth stocks—which had led the way higher throughout the rally in 2021—were notable underperformers in the subsequent downturn. On the other hand, the energy sector and many oil-producing nations generally posted gains behind impressive strength in the related commodities.
In these uncertain times, your financial professional can assist with positioning your portfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to help meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable bouts of market volatility along the way.
On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investment Management, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders and thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Arnott
Global Head of Retail,
Manulife Investment Management

Multi-Index Lifetime Portfolios’ strategy at a glance
A SIMPLE, STRATEGIC PATH TO HELP YOU REACH YOUR RETIREMENT GOALS

Multi-Index Lifetime Portfolios make diversification easy because the asset mix of each portfolio automatically changes over time.
Portfolios with dates further off initially invest more aggressively in stock funds.
As a portfolio approaches its target date,1 the allocation will gradually migrate to more conservative fixed-income funds.
Once the target date is reached, the allocation will continue to become increasingly conservative until it reaches the end of its glide path, investing primarily in fixed-income funds.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS—AUTOMATICALLY ADJUST OVER TIME2

The chart below illustrates how the asset allocation mix of John Hancock Multi-Index Lifetime Portfolios adjusts over time.
The principal value of each portfolio is not guaranteed and you could lose money at any time, including at or after the target date.
1 Based on an estimated retirement date.

Management’s discussion of portfolio performance
Can you describe investment conditions during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022?
A broad range of adverse headlines led to pronounced weakness across the global financial markets during this time. Most notably, persistently high inflation prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and many other world central banks to wind down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and begin raising interest rates. The Fed hiked rates by 25 basis points (one-quarter of one percentage point) at its March 2022 meeting, 50 basis points (bps) in May, and another 75bps points in both June and July. In addition, investors continued to anticipate further aggressive tightening before the end of the year. A litany of other events contributed to the financial market downturn, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, persistent supply chain disruptions, and—late in the period—fears that Europe was entering the early stages of an energy crisis. Together, these factors raised concerns about a sharp slowdown in economic growth and a potential decline in corporate earnings.
Stocks were hit hard by these developments, with broad-based losses for all major segments of the market except for the energy sector. Faster-growing companies, including the mega-cap U.S. technology stocks that led the major indexes higher in 2020 and 2021, generally underperformed in the subsequent downturn. The value style, while losing ground in absolute terms, outpaced the broader market thanks in part to strength in the energy sector. International equities also lagged, with Europe and China weighing on the performance of the developed and emerging markets, respectively.
Bonds experienced elevated volatility and weak returns, as well. Rate-sensitive issues were pressured by the shift in Fed policy: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, which came into the period at 1.30%, rose to 3.13% by the end of August 2022. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Credit-oriented investments also suffered weakness amid worries about the impact of slowing economic growth.
Can you review your approach?
We use a strategic asset allocation glide path geared toward maximizing wealth accumulation in the savings phase to provide an appropriate level of income replacement for 25 to 30 years in the retirement phase. We emphasize value, fundamentals, and

diversification as the cornerstones of our strategy in determining the portfolios’ allocations. As part of our process, we periodically make portfolio adjustments designed to capitalize on market trends or to mitigate risks. In our view, this multifaceted strategy helps the portfolios achieve their long-term objectives while also taking advantage of opportunities as they emerge.
What elements of the portfolios’ positioning helped and hurt results?
Consistent with this challenging investment backdrop, the portfolios posted negative absolute returns in the annual period. They also lagged their respective benchmarks, due in part to the negative relative performance of their underlying holdings. Since the majority of the individual investment products in the portfolios are passively implemented strategies, the shortfall was largely the result of the expenses and tracking error of these holdings. (Tracking error is the difference in return that can occur from holding a representative sample of securities in an index.) In addition, a limited number of strategies have the ability to make active allocation decisions regarding sectors, countries, and regions. This aspect of our positioning detracted from results across all of the portfolios.
Asset allocation contributed to performance in John Hancock Multi-Index 2010, 2015, and 2020 Lifetime Portfolios. All three benefited from their allocation to a real assets portfolio, which was boosted by its position in energy stocks, one of the few areas of the financial markets to deliver positive returns. An underweight in international equities also contributed, as did an allocation to defensive equities. We have long held a position in defensive stocks as a way to provide ballast in volatile markets, and the category indeed outperformed in the difficult environment of the past year.
These contributions were offset, to some extent, by the adverse effect of allocation to fixed income. Here, the portfolios were hurt by their allocations to emerging-market bonds and U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS). The former category was pressured by risk-off sentiment, while the latter was adversely affected by its above-average interest-rate sensitivity. We added STRIPS to the portfolios in 2020 as a way to offset potential downside risk in stocks, but the category in fact performed poorly from the beginning of 2022 onward as yields rose.
Allocation detracted across all other portfolios. Although the primary drivers of performance were the same as in the three funds mentioned above, here the negative effect of positioning in fixed income outweighed the contribution on the equity side. In addition, the longer-dated portfolios had smaller allocations to the real assets portfolio—including zero weightings in those with vintages of 2050 and above—and therefore gained less of a benefit from the strength in this area.

4 JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS | ANNUAL REPORT  

How would you describe the portfolios’ positioning at period end?
Our core view over the past year was that the world economy continued to face important challenges that were likely to translate to muted returns for the major asset categories. We therefore steadily moved the portfolios in a more defensive direction, and we sought to diversify into asset classes with lower vulnerability to prevailing trends. Our decision to reduce the portfolios’ weighting in equities represented the most notable shift. We achieved this by decreasing exposure to U.S. large-cap stocks. We also lowered the portfolios’ weightings in small-cap domestic equities as part of our shift away from more volatile asset categories, and in international stocks, given the ongoing challenges facing the asset class.
Conversely, we made modest increases in areas that may be better positioned to withstand rising inflation, including the real assets portfolio (in John Hancock Multi-Index 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, 2030, 2040, and 2045 Lifetime Portfolios) as well as short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (in John Hancock Multi-Index 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025, and 2030 Lifetime Portfolios). We also maintained the position in defensive stocks across all portfolios in anticipation of further market volatility.
We remained cautious at the close of the period, even though a large degree of bad news had already been factored into asset prices. There may be some relief from inflationary pressures eventually, but it will likely take time for central banks’ tightening measures to work. We believe this environment indicates that investors should only expect muted returns from domestic large-cap stocks and interest-rate-sensitive core bonds, the two market segments that are usually most heavily represented in typical asset allocation portfolios. We therefore continue to seek opportunities to diversify outside of these widely held asset classes into areas where we see more attractive risk/return profiles.

Notes about risk
The portfolios may be subject to various risks as described in the portfolios’ prospectus. Political tensions and armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and any resulting economic sanctions on entities and/or individuals of a particular country could lead such a country into an economic recession. The COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions, and closures,which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect portfolio performance. For more information, please refer to the “Principal risks” section of the prospectus.
The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Nathan W. Thooft, CFA, and Robert E. Sykes, CFA, Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice. Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may not have been held by the portfolio for the entire period. Portfolio composition is subject to review in accordance with the portfolio’s investment strategy and may vary in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

GROWTH OF $10,000

This chart shows what happened to a hypothetical $10,000 investment in John Hancock Multi-Index 2010 Lifetime Portfolio for a share class and periods indicated, assuming all distributions were reinvested. For comparison, we’ve shown the same investment in a blended index and a separate index.
Index 1 is the S&P Target Date 2010 Index, an unmanaged index comprising a set of indices aligned with specific target date years.
Index 2 is the John Hancock 2010 Lifetime Index, which is based on the fund’s asset allocation glide path and will reflect a more conservative allocation over time. The index is a customized blended index comprising some or all of the following component indices (ordered alphabetically): Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond 1-5 Year Index, Bloomberg U.S. Treasury TIPS 1-5 Year Index, ICE BofA Long U.S. Treasury Principal STRIPS Index, ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index, JP Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global, MSCI Emerging Markets Index, MSCI World Energy Index, MSCI World ex-USA Index, MSCI World Metals & Mining Index, Russell 2500 Index, S&P 500 Index, S&P Global ex-U.S. REIT Index, S&P Global Infrastructure Index, S&P U.S. REIT Index, and S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would result in lower returns.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charge on Class A shares of 5%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class R4, Class R6, and Class 1 shares.
The expense ratios of the portfolio, both net (including any fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers and/or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the portfolio and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations in effect until December 31, 2022 and are subject to change. Had the contractual fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The following expense ratios include expenses of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests. The expense ratios are as follows:
  Class A Class R4 Class R6 Class 1
Gross (%) 1.46 1.41 1.06 1.10
Net (%) 0.77 0.62 0.37 0.41
Please refer to the most recent prospectus and annual or semiannual report for more information on expenses and any expense limitation arrangements for each class.
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. The return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Due to market volatility and other factors, the portfolio’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800–225–5291 or visit the portfolio’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance information does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on portfolio distributions or the redemption of portfolio shares. The portfolio’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.
1 Class R4 shares were first offered on 11-7-13 and ceased operations between 6-15-16 and 4-7-17. Class A shares were first offered on 6-21-21. Returns while Class A and Class R4 shares were not offered are those of Class 1 shares that have not been adjusted for class-specific expenses; otherwise, returns would vary.

Your expenses
As a shareholder of a John Hancock Funds II Multi-Index Lifetime Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchases or redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. In addition to the operating expenses which each portfolio bears directly, each portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which each portfolio invests. Because underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs, and a portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. Had these indirect expenses been reflected in the following analysis, total expenses would have been higher than the amounts shown.
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a portfolio so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022).
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 the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account 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 line under 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 expenses based 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 the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a portfolio 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 remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid 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. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. See the portfolios’ prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, twelve of which are presented in this report (collectively, the Multi-Index Lifetime Portfolios, or the portfolios and individually, the portfolio). The portfolios operate as “funds of funds” that may invest in affiliated underlying funds of the Trust, other funds in the John Hancock group of funds complex, non-John Hancock funds and certain other permitted investments.
The portfolios may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by the portfolios are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class R4 shares are available only to certain retirement and 529 plans. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class 1 shares are offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.
The investment objective of each portfolio is to seek high total return through each portfolio’s target retirement dates, with a greater focus on income beyond the target dates. Total return, commonly understood as the combination of income and capital appreciation, includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over a given period of time.
The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which the portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds’ shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds’ financial statements. These are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. John Hancock underlying funds’ shareholder reports are also available without charge by calling 800-225-5291 or visiting jhinvestments.com. The underlying funds are not covered by this report.
Note 2Significant 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 those estimates and those differences could be significant. The portfolios qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US 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 the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the portfolios:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.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 the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the portfolios’ Valuation Policies and Procedures.
In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: Investments by the portfolios in underlying affiliated funds and other open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, held by the portfolios are typically 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 sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading 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 by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level 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 a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The portfolios use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The portfolios use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are securities that generally have a lower coupon interest rate fixed at issuance but whose principal value is periodically adjusted based on a rate of inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, interest is paid on the inflation adjusted principal value as described above. Increases in the principal amount of these securities are recorded as interest income. Decreases in the principal amount of these securities may reduce interest income to the extent of income previously recorded. If these decreases are in excess of income previously recorded, an adjustment to the cost of the security is made.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped security. If the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the portfolios may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates or prepayments on the underlying securities. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the portfolios may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the portfolio becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.
58 JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS | ANNUAL REPORT  

Securities lending. The portfolios may lend their securities to earn additional income. The portfolios receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The portfolios may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the portfolios, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the SEC as an investment company. JHCT is a prime money market fund and invests in short-term money market investments. Each portfolio will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral. Effective November 19, 2021, JHCT converted to a prime money market fund.
The portfolios have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the portfolios for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities 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 replacement securities, 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 of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the portfolios could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the portfolios will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the portfolios is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the portfolios are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the portfolios and the corresponding cash collateral received at August 31, 2022:
Portfolio Market value of securities on loan Cash collateral received
Multi-Index 2060 Lifetime Portfolio $846,560 $864,240

Multi-Index 2015 Lifetime Portfolio 3,999,510 4,090,104
Multi-Index 2010 Lifetime Portfolio 4,439,252 5,382,339
Subsequent to August 31, 2022, Multi-Index 2030 Lifetime Portfolio and Multi-Index 2010 Lifetime Portfolio returned $3,676,531 and $848,940, respectively, of cash collateral to the securities lending agent for securities on loan which were returned on August 31, 2022.
Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Portfolios that invest internationally generally carry more risk than portfolios that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Overdraft. The portfolios may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the portfolios’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the portfolios to make properly authorized payments. The portfolios are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any portfolio property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Line of credit. The portfolios and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a portfolio can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 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 each participating portfolio 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, 2022 were as follows:

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual portfolio are allocated to such portfolio. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among all portfolios in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the portfolio’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the portfolio level and allocated daily to each class of shares 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, are charged 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 portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of August 31, 2022, the portfolios had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on August 31, 2022, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distributions paid by the portfolios with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. For federal income tax purposes, net capital losses that are a result of security transactions occurring after October 31, 2021, are being deferred and are treated as occurring on September 1, 2022, the first day of the portfolios’ next taxable year. As of August 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

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 portfolios’ financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains from underlying 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 the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the portfolios. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the portfolios. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.
  ANNUAL REPORT | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFETIME PORTFOLIOS 61

Management fee. The portfolios have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor as detailed below. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The management fee has two components: (1) a fee on assets invested in a fund of the Trust or John Hancock Funds III (JHF III) (Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III); and (2) a fee on assets invested in investments other than a fund of the Trust or JHF III (Other assets). Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the portfolios, similar portfolios of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (JHVIT), and similar portfolios of the Trust. JHVIT funds are advised by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC and are distributed by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Distributors, LLC.
Management fees are determined in accordance with the following schedule:
  First $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets Excess over $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets
Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III 0.060% 0.050%
Other assets 0.510% 0.500%
Expense reimbursements. The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fees or if necessary make payment to each portfolio in an amount by which certain expenses, including underlying fund expenses (acquired fund fees), exceed the amount indicated below of the respective portfolio’s average net assets. This agreement expires on December 31, 2022, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolio and the advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

Payments under this arrangement are intended to reimburse the portfolios for a portion of the indirect net expenses associated with the portfolios’ investments in underlying funds. Amounts received in excess of portfolio level operating expenses, if any, are included as Other income received from advisor in the Statements of operations.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee for each portfolio so that the aggregate management fee retained by the Advisor with respect to both the portfolio and its underlying investments (after payment of subadvisory fees) does not exceed 0.51% of the portfolio’s first $7.5 billion of average net assets and 0.50% of the portfolio’s average net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. The Advisor may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the Trust.
For the year ended August 31, 2022, the expense reductions under these agreements amounted to the following and are reflected as a reduction of total expenses in the Statements of operations:

Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares purchased, including those that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more, and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the year ended August 31, 2022, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) and the Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds).  The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 21-23, 2022 videoconference1 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a videoconference meeting held on May 24-25, 2022. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
 Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At videoconference meetings held on June 21-23, 2022, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act (the Independent Trustees), reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management, LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and Manulife Investment Management (US) (the Subadvisor) with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds.  The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’s affiliates, including distribution services.  The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review.  In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent 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, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments.  The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the

1On June 19, 2020, as a result of health and safety measures put in place to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an exemptive order (the “Order”) pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that temporarily exempts registered investment management companies from the in-person voting requirements under the 1940 Act, subject to certain requirements, including that votes taken pursuant to the Order are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Order was necessary or appropriate due to the circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 and therefore, the Board’s May and June meetings were held via videoconference in reliance on the Order. This exemptive order supersedes, in part, a similar, earlier exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the complex.
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationship, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report 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 its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangement generally 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 the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective peer group and benchmark index and concluded that the performance of the Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and the Fund’s benchmark index.
Fees and expenses.  The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds.  In addition, the Board took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund and that each Fund has breakpoints in its contractual management fee schedule that reduces management fees as assets increase. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and a Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Profitability/indirect benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability information reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the funds, and that the Trust’s distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the products;
(h)noted that the Funds’ Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(i)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(j)noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor;
(k)with respect to each Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee is in addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to the underlying funds in which the Funds may invest;
(l)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(m)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that 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 affiliate (the Subadvisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that with respect to the John Hancock underlying funds in which the Funds invest, the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for such funds and for each of the other John Hancock funds in the complex (except as discussed below) (the Participating Portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the Participating Portfolios (the Reimbursement). This waiver is based upon the aggregate net assets of all the Participating Portfolios. (The funds that are not Participating Portfolios as of the date of this annual report are each of the Funds of the Trust and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and John Hancock Collateral Trust. The Funds also benefit from such overall management fee waiver through their investment in underlying funds that include certain of the Participating Portfolios, which are subject to the Reimbursement);
(b)reviewed the Trust’s advisory fee structure and concluded that (i) the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the advisory fee level and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured with precision, these arrangements permit shareholders of the Funds to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to each Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to an applicable benchmark index and comparable funds; and;
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, including any breakpoints, and to the extent available, and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third party provider of fund data.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock fund complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer group was not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds and compared them to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the performance of each Fund has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile and the Fund’s benchmark index;
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees reviewed the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and that the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (LRMP) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Liquidity Rule). The Board of Trustees (the Board) of each Fund in the John Hancock Group of Funds (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule has appointed John Hancock Investment Management LLC and John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC (together, the Advisor) to serve as Administrator of the LRMP with respect to each of the Funds, including John Hancock Multi-Index 2065 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2060 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2055 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2050 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2045 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2040 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2035 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2030 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2025 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2020 Lifetime Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index 2015 Lifetime Portfolio and John Hancock Multi-Index 2010 Lifetime Portfolio, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to provide a mechanism and process to perform the functions necessary to administer the LRMP, the Advisor established the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). The Portfolios’ subadvisor(s), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (the Subadvisor) executes the day-to-day investment management and security-level activities of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the LRMP, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
The Committee receives monthly reports and holds quarterly meetings to: (1) review the day-to-day operations of the LRMP; (2) monitor current market and liquidity conditions; (3) review and approve month-end liquidity classifications; (4) monitor illiquid investment levels against the 15% limit on illiquid investments and established Highly Liquid Investment Minimums (HLIMs), if any; (5) review quarterly testing and determinations, as applicable; (6) review redemption-in-kind activities; and (7) review other LRMP related material. The Advisor also conducts daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual quantitative and qualitative assessments of each subadvisor to a Fund that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule and is a part of the LRMP to monitor investment performance issues, risks and trends. In addition, the Advisor may conduct ad-hoc reviews and meetings with subadvisors as issues and trends are identified, including potential liquidity issues. The Committee also monitors global events, such as the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and amendments to the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned company lists, that could impact the markets and liquidity of portfolio investments and their classifications.
The Committee provided the Board at a meeting held by videoconference on March 22-24, 2022 with a written report which addressed the Committee’s assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation and operation of the LRMP and any material changes to the LRMP. The report, which covered the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, included an assessment of important aspects of the LRMP including, but not limited to: (1) Security-level liquidity classifications; (2) Fund-level liquidity risk assessment; (3) Reasonably Anticipated Trade Size (RATS) determination; (4) HLIM determination; (5) Compliance with the 15% limit on illiquid investments; (6) Operation of the Fund’s Redemption-In-Kind Procedures; and (7) Review of liquidity management facilities.
Additionally, the report included a discussion of notable changes and enhancements to the LRMP implemented during 2021 and key initiatives for 2022.
The report also covered material liquidity matters which occurred or were reported during this period applicable to the Fund, if any, and the Committee’s actions to address such matters.
The report stated, in relevant part, that during the period covered by the report:
The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund structure;
The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund;
The Fund did not report any breaches of the 15% limit on illiquid investments that would require reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission;
The Fund continued to qualify as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund under the Liquidity Rule and therefore is not required to establish a HLIM; and
The Chief Compliance Officer’s office, as a part of their annual Rule 38a-1 assessment of the Fund’s policies and procedures, reviewed the LRMP’s control environment and deemed it to be operating effectively and in compliance with the Board approved procedures.
Adequacy and Effectiveness
Based on the review and assessment conducted by the Committee, the Committee has determined that the LRMP and its controls have been implemented and are operating in a manner that is adequately and effectively managing the liquidity risk of the Fund.

A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
Both stocks and bonds posted negative returns during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022, leaving investors with few places to hide. Persistent inflation and rising interest rates were the primary drivers of the downturn in both asset classes. Inflation—which had already begun to move higher throughout 2021—was exacerbated by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as well as the sanctions and additional supply chain disruptions that followed. Central banks responded to the price pressures by winding down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and beginning to raise rates aggressively, leading to poor performance and high volatility for nearly all segments of the financial markets.
Bonds suffered historically weak returns, with emerging-market debt and longer-term issues bearing the brunt of the weakness. In the equity market, growth stocks—which had led the way higher throughout the rally in 2021—were notable underperformers in the subsequent downturn. On the other hand, the energy sector and many oil-producing nations generally posted gains behind impressive strength in the related commodities.
In these uncertain times, your financial professional can assist with positioning your portfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to help meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable bouts of market volatility along the way.
On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investment Management, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders and thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Arnott
Global Head of Retail,
Manulife Investment Management
President and CEO,

Notes about risk
The portfolios may be subject to various risks as described in the portfolios’ prospectus. Political tensions and armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and any resulting economic sanctions on entities and/or individuals of a particular country could lead such a country into an economic recession. The COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, which may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors or the markets generally, and may ultimately affect portfolio performance. For more information, please refer to the “Principal risks” section of the prospectus.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would result in lower returns.
The fund’s Morningstar category average is a group of funds with similar investment objectives and strategies and is the equal-weighted return of all funds per category. Morningstar places funds in certain categories based on their historical portfolio holdings. Figures from Morningstar, Inc. include reinvested distributions and do not take into account sales charges. Actual load-adjusted performance is lower. Since-inception returns for the Morningstar fund category average are not available.
The past performance shown here reflects reinvested distributions and the beneficial effect of any expense reductions, and does not guarantee future results. Returns for periods shorter than one year are cumulative, and results for other share classes will vary. Shares will fluctuate in value and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current month-end performance may be lower or higher than the performance cited, and can be found at jhinvestments.com or by calling 800-225-5291.

Management’s discussion of portfolio performance
Can you describe investment conditions during the 12 months ended August 31, 2022?
A broad range of adverse headlines led to pronounced weakness across the global financial markets during this time. Most notably, persistently high inflation prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) and many other world central banks to wind down their stimulative quantitative easing programs and begin raising interest rates. The Fed hiked rates by 25 basis points (one-quarter of one percentage point) at its March 2022 meeting, 50 basis points in May and another 75 basis points in both June and July. In addition, investors continued to anticipate further aggressive tightening before the end of the year. A litany of other events contributed to the financial market downturn, including Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, persistent supply chain disruptions, and—late in the period—fears that Europe was entering the early stages of an energy crisis. Together, these factors raised concerns about a sharp slowdown in economic growth and a potential decline in corporate earnings.
Stocks were hit hard by these developments, with broad-based losses for all major segments of the market except for the energy sector. Faster-growing companies, including the mega-cap U.S. technology stocks that led the major indexes higher in 2020 and 2021, generally underperformed in the subsequent downturn. The value style—which seeks investments that appear to be undervalued in the marketplace—outpaced the broader market thanks in part to strength in the energy sector. International equities lagged, with Europe and China weighing on the performance of  the developed and emerging markets, respectively.
Bonds experienced elevated volatility and weak returns, as well. Rate-sensitive issues were pressured by the shift in Fed policy: The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note increased by the end of the period. (Prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Credit-oriented investments also suffered weakness amid worries about the impact of slowing economic growth.
What elements of the portfolios’ positioning helped and hurt results?
Consistent with this challenging investment backdrop, all portfolios posted negative absolute returns in the annual period. They also lagged their respective benchmarks, due in part to the relative performance of their underlying holdings. Since the majority of the individual investment products in the portfolios are passively implemented strategies, the shortfall was largely the result of the expenses and tracking error of these holdings. (Tracking error is the difference in return that can occur from holding a representative sample of securities in an index.) In addition, a limited number of strategies have the ability to make active allocations decisions regarding sectors, countries, and regions. This aspect of our positioning detracted from results across all of the portfolios.
Asset allocation detracted from performance across all portfolios with the exception of John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio. All five portfolios were hurt by their allocations to emerging-market bonds and, except for John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio, U.S. Treasury Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities (STRIPS), with a lesser impact in the more aggressive portfolios in the series. The former category was pressured by risk-off sentiment, while the latter was adversely affected by its above-average interest-rate sensitivity. We added STRIPS to the portfolios in 2020 as a way to offset potential downside risk in stocks, but the category in fact performed poorly from the beginning of 2022 onward as yields rose.
The portfolios were also hurt by our strategy of diversifying into mid- and small-cap stocks (which aren’t represented in the benchmarks) and away from large caps. While we prefer to maintain this diversified approach from a longer-term standpoint, mid and small caps lagged during the period. An overweight in international equities was an additional detractor in  every portfolio except for John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio.
On the positive side, all portfolios except for John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio benefited their allocation to real assets. This category was boosted by the strong showing energy stocks, one of the few areas of the financial markets to deliver positive returns. An allocation to defensive equities also added value. We have long held a position in defensive stocks as a way to provide ballast in volatile markets, and the category indeed outperformed in the difficult environment of the past year. Additionally, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS)—which has a lower interest-rate sensitivity than the bonds market as a whole—contributed to results in every portfolio except for John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio.
  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS 5

How would you describe the portfolios’ positioning at the end of the period?
Our core view over the past year was that the world economy continued to face important challenges that were likely to translate to muted returns for the major asset categories. We therefore steadily moved the portfolios in a more defensive direction, and we sought to diversify into asset classes with lower vulnerability to prevailing trends. We also made modest increases in areas that may be better positioned to withstand rising inflation, including real assets (in all funds except John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio), as well as bank loans and short-term TIPS (in all funds except John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio).
We remained cautious at the close of the period, even though a large degree of bad news had already been factored into asset prices. We therefore continue to seek opportunities to diversify outside of these widely held asset classes into areas where we see more attractive risk/return profiles.

  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS 11

Your expenses
As a shareholder of a John Hancock Funds II Multi-Index Lifestyle Portfolio, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchases or redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. In addition to the operating expenses which each portfolio bears directly, each portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which each portfolio invests. Because underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs, and a portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. Had these indirect expenses been reflected in the following analysis, total expenses would have been higher than the amounts shown.
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a portfolio so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (March 1, 2022 through August 31, 2022).
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 the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account 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 line under 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 expenses based 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 the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a portfolio 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 remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid 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. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. See the portfolios’ prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, five of which are presented in this report (collectively, Multi-Index Lifestyle Portfolios, or the portfolios and individually, the portfolio). The portfolios operate as “funds of funds” that may invest in affiliated underlying funds of the Trust, other funds in the John Hancock group of funds complex, non-John Hancock funds and certain other permitted investments.
The portfolios may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by the portfolios are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are open to all investors. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class 1 shares are offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.
The investment objectives of the portfolios are as follows:
Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio
To seek long-term growth of capital. Current income is not a consideration.
Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio
To seek long-term growth of capital. Current income is also a consideration.
Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio
To seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on growth of capital.
Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio
To seek a balance between a high level of current income and growth of capital, with a greater emphasis on income.
Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio
To seek a high level of current income with some consideration given to growth of capital.
The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which the portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds’ shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds’ financial statements. These are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. John Hancock underlying funds’ shareholder reports are also available without charge by calling 800-225-5291 or visiting jhinvestments.com. The underlying funds are not covered by this report.
Note 2Significant 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 those estimates and those differences could be significant. The portfolios qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US 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 the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the portfolios:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.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 the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the portfolios’ Valuation Policies and Procedures.
In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: Investments by the portfolios in underlying affiliated funds and other open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, held by the portfolios are typically 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 sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading 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 by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level 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 a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair
  ANNUAL REPORT | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS 29

valued, as determined in good faith by the portfolios’ Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The portfolios use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The portfolios use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the portfolios’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the portfolios’ investments as of August 31, 2022, by major security category or type:

Level 3 includes securities valued at $0. Refer to Portfolios’ investments.
Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are securities that generally have a lower coupon interest rate fixed at issuance but whose principal value is periodically adjusted based on a rate of inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, interest is paid on the inflation adjusted principal value as described above. Increases in the principal amount of these securities are recorded as interest income. Decreases in the principal amount of these securities may reduce interest income to the extent of income previously recorded. If these decreases are in excess of income previously recorded, an adjustment to the cost of the security is made.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped security. If the underlying assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the portfolios may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates or prepayments on the underlying securities. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the portfolios may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the portfolio becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.
Securities lending. The portfolios may lend their securities to earn additional income. The portfolios receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The portfolios may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the portfolios, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the SEC as an investment company. JHCT is a prime money market fund and invests in short-term money market investments. Each portfolio will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral. Effective November 19, 2021, JHCT converted to a prime money market fund.
The portfolios have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the portfolios for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities 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 replacement securities, 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 of JHCT.
Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the portfolios could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the portfolios will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well
  ANNUAL REPORT | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS 31

as interest on such amounts. The portfolios receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the portfolios is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the portfolios are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the portfolios and the corresponding cash collateral received at August 31, 2022:
Portfolio Market value of securities on loan Cash collateral received
Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio $418,950   $1,562,388
Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio   32,030,506   32,899,538
Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio   87,313,178   89,386,095
Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio   36,708,677   37,596,224
Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio   37,498,661   38,414,585
Subsequent to August 31, 2022, Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio returned $1,135,050 of cash collateral to the securities lending agent for securities on loan which were returned on August 31, 2022.
Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.
Portfolios that invest internationally generally carry more risk than portfolios that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
Overdraft. The portfolios may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the portfolios’ custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the portfolios to make properly authorized payments. The portfolios are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any portfolio property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.
Line of credit. The portfolios and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a portfolio can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 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 each participating portfolio 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, 2022 were as follows:
Portfolio Commitment fee
Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio   $5,268
Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio 7,174
Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio 7,158
Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio 4,719
Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio 4,533
Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual portfolio are allocated to such portfolio. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific portfolio are allocated among all portfolios in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the portfolio’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the portfolio level and allocated daily to each class of shares 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, are charged 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 portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of August 31, 2022, the portfolios had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The portfolios’ federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on August 31, 2022, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distributions paid by the portfolios with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. For federal income tax purposes, net capital losses that are a result of security transactions occurring after October 31, 2021, are being deferred and are treated as occurring on September 1, 2022, the first day of the portfolios’ next taxable year. As of August 31, 2022, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
Portfolio Undistributed
Ordinary Income
Undistributed
Long Term
Capital Gains
Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio $10,535   $48,111,902
Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio   3,814,770 95,013,155
Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio   2,509,170 75,734,461
Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio   1,198,880 11,564,939
Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio   1,543,121 3,856,229
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 portfolios’ financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains from underlying 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 the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 4Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the portfolios. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the portfolios. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The portfolios have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor as detailed below. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The management fee has two components: (1) a fee on assets invested in a fund of the Trust or John Hancock Funds III (JHF III) (Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III); and (2) a fee on assets invested in investments other than a fund of the Trust or JHF III (Other assets). Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the portfolios, similar portfolios of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (JHVIT), and similar portfolios of the Trust. JHVIT funds are advised by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC and are distributed by an affiliate of the Advisor, John Hancock Distributors, LLC.
Management fees are determined in accordance with the following schedule:
  First $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets Excess over $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets
Assets in a fund of the Trust or JHF III 0.050% 0.040%
Other assets 0.500% 0.490%
Expense reimbursements. The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse or pay operating expenses of each portfolio in an amount equal to the amount by which the expenses of the portfolio exceed 0.05% of the average net assets, excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the portfolios’ business, acquired fund fees, short dividend expense, management fees, and class specific expenses. This expense limitation shall continue in effect until December 31, 2022, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and the Advisor.
In addition, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee for each portfolio so that the aggregate advisory fee retained by the Advisor with respect to both the portfolio and its underlying investments after payment of subadvisory fees does not exceed 0.50% of the portfolios’ first $7.5 billion of average net assets and 0.49% of the portfolios’ average net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. The Advisor may terminate this voluntary waiver at any time upon notice to the portfolios.
For the year ended August 31, 2022, the expense reductions described above amounted to the following:
  Expense reimbursement by class
Portfolio Class A Class R6 Class 1 Total
Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio   $4,529   $532   $28,632   $33,693
Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio   10,796 763 57,532 69,091
Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended August 31, 2022, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of the portfolios’ average daily net assets as follows:
Portfolio Net Annual Effective Rate
Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio 0.22%

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the portfolios reimburse the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the portfolios, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended August 31, 2022, amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the portfolios’ average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The portfolios have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The portfolios have adopted distribution and service plans for certain classes as detailed below pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the portfolios. The portfolios may pay up to the following contractual rates of distribution and service fees under these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the portfolios’ shares:
Class Rule 12b-1 Fee
Class A 0.30%
Class 1 0.05%
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges of up to 5.00% of net asset value for such shares. The following table summarizes the net up-front sales charges received by the Distributor during the year ended August 31, 2022:

Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares purchased, including those that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more, and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the year ended August 31, 2022, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Funds II and Shareholders of Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio, and Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios’ investments, of Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio and Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio (five of the funds constituting John Hancock Funds II, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Portfolios") as of August 31, 2022, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2022, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the Portfolios as of August 31, 2022, the results of each of their operations for the year ended August 31, 2022, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2022 and each of the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolios’ financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES

This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) and the Subadvisory Agreement (the Subadvisory Agreement) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds). The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 21-23, 2022 videoconference1 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a videoconference meeting held on May 24-25, 2022. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) (the “Independent Trustees”) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At videoconference meetings held on June 21-23, 2022, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and John Hancock Investment Management, LLC (the Advisor) and the Subadvisory Agreement between the Advisor and Manulife Investment Management (US) (the Subadvisor) with respect to each of the Funds identified in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and the Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to the Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisor is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, and prior presentations from the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds.  The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of the Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the services to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’s affiliates, including distribution services.  The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review.  In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent 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, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor’s compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the fund’s compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments.  The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the

1On June 19, 2020, as a result of health and safety measures put in place to combat the global COVID-19 pandemic, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an exemptive order (the “Order”) pursuant to Sections 6(c) and 38(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), that temporarily exempts registered investment management companies from the in-person voting requirements under the 1940 Act, subject to certain requirements, including that votes taken pursuant to the Order are ratified at the next in-person meeting. The Board determined that reliance on the Order was necessary or appropriate due to the circumstances related to current or potential effects of COVID-19 and therefore, the Board’s May and June meetings were held via videoconference in reliance on the Order. This exemptive order supersedes, in part, a similar, earlier exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Subadvisor, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisor and third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the complex.
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a)the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisor’s investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisor’s compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters, including with respect to trade allocation and best execution and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b)the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c)the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d)the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;
(e)the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f)the Advisor’s initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust’s operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
(g)the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment advisor to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a)reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b)considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c)considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report 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 its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangement generally 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 the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective peer group median and benchmark index and concluded that the performance of certain Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile with certain exceptions noted in Appendix A. In such cases, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate.
Fees and expenses.  The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses. The Board also took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds.  In addition, the Board took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to each Fund and that each Fund has breakpoints in its contractual management fee schedule that reduces management fees as assets increase. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and a Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
  ANNUAL REPORT  | JOHN HANCOCK MULTI-INDEX LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS 43

In addition, the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Profitability/indirect benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisor) from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a)reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b)reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;
(c)received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock Fund Complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d)received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e)considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f)considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g)noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the funds, and that the Trust’s distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the products;
(h)noted that the Funds’ Subadvisor is an affiliate of the Advisor;
(i)noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(j)noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor;
(k) with respect to each Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee is in addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to the underlying funds in which the Funds may invest;
(l)considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(m)considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that 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 affiliate (the Subadvisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a)considered that with respect to the John Hancock underlying funds in which the Funds invest, the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for such funds and for each of the other John Hancock funds in the complex (except as discussed below) (the Participating Portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the Participating Portfolios (the Reimbursement). This waiver is based upon the aggregate net assets of all the Participating Portfolios. (The funds that are not Participating Portfolios as of the date of this annual report are each of the funds of funds of the Trust and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and John Hancock Collateral Trust. The Funds also benefit from such overall management fee waiver through their investment in underlying funds that include certain of the Participating Portfolios, which are subject to the Reimbursement);
(b)reviewed the Trust’s advisory fee structure and concluded that (i) the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the advisory fee level and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured with precision, these arrangements permit shareholders of the Funds to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure; and
(c)considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1)information relating to each Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2)the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to an applicable benchmark index and comparable funds; and
(3)the subadvisory fee for each Fund, and to the extent available, and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third party provider of fund data.

Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by the Subadvisor, including the Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered the Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to the Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background, and responsibilities of the Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed the Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of the Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with the Subadvisor and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisor and procedures reasonably designed to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of the Subadvisor.
The Board considered the Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that the Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to the Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its relationship with the Funds, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreement are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreement.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisor and its affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor’s relationship with the Funds, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock fund complex and reputational benefits
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays a subadvisory fee to the Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board noted that the limited size of the Lipper peer group was not sufficient for comparative purposes. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to the Subadvisor with respect to the Funds and compared them to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of the Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on the Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted the Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1)the Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2)the performance of certain Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds based on the median percentile, with certain exceptions noted in Appendix A (with respect to such exceptions, the Board concluded that the Fund’s performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate);
(3)the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
(4)the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds.
In addition, the Trustees reviewed the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for each Fund and noted that the Advisor has evaluated the complexity of the structure and fees and expenses associated with each Fund’s investments in the underlying portfolios and that the Advisor made a finding that each Fund’s expenses do not duplicate the fees and expenses of the underlying portfolios.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Operation of the Liquidity Risk Management Program
This section describes the operation and effectiveness of the Liquidity Risk Management Program (LRMP) established in accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the Liquidity Rule). The Board of Trustees (the Board) of each Fund in the John Hancock Group of Funds (each a Fund and collectively, the Funds) that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule has appointed John Hancock Investment Management LLC and John Hancock Variable Trust Advisers LLC (together, the Advisor) to serve as Administrator of the LRMP with respect to each of the Funds, including John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio, John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio, subject to the oversight of the Board. In order to provide a mechanism and process to perform the functions necessary to administer the LRMP, the Advisor established the Liquidity Risk Management Committee (the Committee). The Portfolios’ subadvisor(s), Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC (the Subadvisor) executes the day-to-day investment management and security-level activities of the Fund in accordance with the requirements of the LRMP, subject to the supervision of the Advisor and the Board.
The Committee receives monthly reports and holds quarterly meetings to: (1) review the day-to-day operations of the LRMP; (2) monitor current market and liquidity conditions; (3) review and approve month-end liquidity classifications; (4) monitor illiquid investment levels against the 15% limit on illiquid investments and established Highly Liquid Investment Minimums (HLIMs), if any; (5) review quarterly testing and determinations, as applicable; (6) review redemption-in-kind activities; and (7) review other LRMP related material. The Advisor also conducts daily, monthly, quarterly, and annual quantitative and qualitative assessments of each subadvisor to a Fund that is subject to the requirements of the Liquidity Rule and is a part of the LRMP to monitor investment performance issues, risks and trends. In addition, the Advisor may conduct ad-hoc reviews and meetings with subadvisors as issues and trends are identified, including potential liquidity issues. The Committee also monitors global events, such as the ongoing COVID-19 Coronavirus pandemic and amendments to the Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned company lists, that could impact the markets and liquidity of portfolio investments and their classifications.
The Committee provided the Board at a meeting held by videoconference on March 22-24, 2022 with a written report which addressed the Committee’s assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of the implementation and operation of the LRMP and any material changes to the LRMP. The report, which covered the period January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021, included an assessment of important aspects of the LRMP including, but not limited to: (1) Security-level liquidity classifications; (2) Fund-level liquidity risk assessment; (3) Reasonably Anticipated Trade Size (RATS) determination; (4) HLIM determination; (5) Compliance with the 15% limit on illiquid investments; (6) Operation of the Fund’s Redemption-In-Kind Procedures; and (7) Review of liquidity management facilities.
Additionally, the report included a discussion of notable changes and enhancements to the LRMP implemented during 2021 and key initiatives for 2022.
The report also covered material liquidity matters which occurred or were reported during this period applicable to the Fund, if any, and the Committee’s actions to address such matters.
The report stated, in relevant part, that during the period covered by the report:
The Fund’s investment strategy remained appropriate for an open-end fund structure;
The Fund was able to meet requests for redemption without significant dilution of remaining shareholders’ interests in the Fund;
The Fund did not report any breaches of the 15% limit on illiquid investments that would require reporting to the Securities and Exchange Commission;
The Fund continued to qualify as a Primarily Highly Liquid Fund under the Liquidity Rule and therefore is not required to establish a HLIM; and
The Chief Compliance Officer’s office, as a part of their annual Rule 38a-1 assessment of the Fund’s policies and procedures, reviewed the LRMP’s control environment and deemed it to be operating effectively and in compliance with the Board approved procedures.
Adequacy and Effectiveness
Based on the review and assessment conducted by the Committee, the Committee has determined that the LRMP and its controls have been implemented and are operating in a manner that is adequately and effectively managing the liquidity risk of the Fund.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:

The Trust's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm (the "Auditor") relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Trust's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of audit-related and non-audit services by the Auditor. The policies and procedures require that any audit-related and non-audit service provided by the Auditor and any non-audit service provided by the Auditor to a fund service provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a fund are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Audit-related services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $25,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Tax services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $30,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All audit services, as well as the audit-related and non-audit services that are expected to exceed the amounts stated above, must be approved in advance of provision of the service by formal resolution of the Audit Committee. At the regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, the Committee reviews a report summarizing the services, including fees, provided by the Auditor.

Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees:

There were no amounts that were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to the de minimis exception under Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f)According to the registrant's principal accountant, for the fiscal period ended August 31, 2022, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who were not full-time, permanent employees of principal accountant was less than 50%.

(g)The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant and rendered to the registrant's control affiliates were $805,550 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 and $1,069,903 for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2021.

(h)The audit committee of the registrant has considered the non-audit services provided by the registrant's principal accountant to the control affiliates and has determined that the services that were not pre-approved are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.
