CLASS I: JLVIX

Investment objective

To seek long-term capital appreciation.

Fees and expenses

This table describes the fees and expenses you may pay if you buy and hold shares of the fund.

Shareholder fees are those fees paid directly from your investment.

Annual fund operating expenses are those expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment.

Shareholder fees	Class I
		None

Annual fund operating expenses (%)	Class I
Management fee		0.62
Other expenses1		0.19
Total annual fund operating expenses		0.81

1 “Other expenses” shown exclude certain one time fees incurred in the prior fiscal year. Had these fees been included, “Other expenses” would have been 0.22%.

Expense example

This example is intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Please see below a hypothetical example showing the expenses of a $10,000 investment at the end of the various time frames indicated. The example assumes a 5% average annual return. The example assumes fund expenses will not change over the periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Expenses ($)	Class I
1 Year		83
3 Years		259
5 Years		450
10 Years		1,002

Portfolio turnover

The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During its most recent fiscal year, the fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 120% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal investment strategies

Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in equity securities of large-capitalization companies. The fund considers large-capitalization companies to be those companies in the capitalization range of the S&P 500

A DOMESTIC EQUITY FUND

John Hancock Large Cap Equity Fund

Index, which was $1.1 million to $323.7 billion as of December 31, 2009. Equity securities include common and preferred stocks and their equivalents.

In managing the fund, the subadviser looks for companies that are undervalued and/or offer the potential for above-average earnings growth. The subadviser employs a combination of proprietary financial models and bottom-up, fundamental financial research to identify companies that are selling at what appear to be substantial discounts to their long-term intrinsic value. These companies often have identifiable catalysts for growth, such as new products, business reorganizations or mergers.

The fund manages risk by typically holding between 50 and 150 large companies in a broad range of industries. The fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy. The subadviser also uses fundamental financial analysis to identify individual companies with substantial cash flows, reliable revenue streams, superior competitive positions and strong management.

The fund may attempt to take advantage of short-term market volatility by investing in corporate restructurings or pending acquisitions.

The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in bonds of any maturity, with up to 15% of net assets in junk bonds rated as low as CC by S&P or Ca by Moody’s and their unrated equivalents. In selecting bonds, the subadviser looks for the most favorable risk/return ratios.

The fund may invest up to 35% of assets in foreign securities. The fund may also make limited use of certain derivatives (investments whose value is based on indexes, securities or currencies).

Principal risks

An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual fund’s performance.

Instability in the financial markets has led the United States government to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility and, in some cases, a lack of liquidity. Federal, state and other governments, and their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, may take actions that affect the regulation of the instruments in which the fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that are unforeseeable. Legislation or regulation may also change the way in which the fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude the fund’s ability to achieve its goal.

Governments or their agencies may also acquire distressed assets from financial institutions and acquire ownership interests in those institutions. The implications of government ownership and disposition of these assets are unclear, and such a program may have positive or negative effects on the liquidity, valuation and performance of the fund’s portfolio holdings. Furthermore, volatile financial markets can expose the fund to greater market and liquidity risk and potential difficulty in valuing portfolio instruments held by the fund.

The fund’s main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order. Before investing, be sure to read the additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 5 of the prospectus.

Active management risk The subadviser’s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result.

Equity securities risk The value of a company’s equity securities is subject to changes in the company’s financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions.

Fixed-income securities risk Fixed-income securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit quality. A rise in interest rates typically causes bond prices to fall. The longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the fund, the more sensitive the fund is likely to be to interest-rate changes. There is the possibility that the issuer of the security will not repay all or a portion of the principal borrowed and will not make all interest payments. Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield securities involve a higher degree of risk than fixed-income securities in higher-rated categories.

Foreign securities risk As compared to U.S. companies, there may be less publicly available information relating to foreign companies. Foreign securities may be subject to foreign taxes. The value of foreign securities is subject to currency fluctuations and adverse political and economic developments.

Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions risk Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase the volatility of a fund and, if the transaction is not successful, could result in a significant loss to a fund. In addition, the use of derivative instruments (such as options, futures and swaps) could produce disproportionate gains or losses, more than the principal amount invested. Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become harder to value or sell at a fair price.

High portfolio turnover risk Actively trading securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions.

Large company risk Large-capitalization stocks as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the fund to underperform investments that focus on small- or medium-capitalization stocks. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may grow more slowly than smaller companies.
