Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Income Fund (Class A/JHFIX) returned 5.53% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended May 31, 2026. The most significant factors affecting fund performance during the period included fluctuations in global bond yields, three short-term interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and escalating conflict in the Middle East, which sparked concerns about higher energy prices and inflation.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Duration (interest-rate sensitivity) | Declining global bond yields during portions of the period contributed to higher bond prices.
Corporate debt | High-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds, which comprised more than a third of the portfolio on average, were the top performers in global bond markets during the period.
Non-U.S. bonds | The fund’s holdings of bonds from outside of the U.S. contributed notably to performance, led by bonds from New Zealand, the Eurozone and Indonesia.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Foreign currency positioning | Long exposures to the Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Philippine peso alongside a short exposure to the Mexican peso detracted from performance.


The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $10,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Income Fund (Class R5/JSNVX) returned 5.91% for the year ended May 31, 2026. The most significant factors affecting fund performance during the period included fluctuations in global bond yields, three short-term interest rate cuts by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and escalating conflict in the Middle East, which sparked concerns about higher energy prices and inflation.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Duration (interest-rate sensitivity) | Declining global bond yields during portions of the period contributed to higher bond prices.
Corporate debt | High-yield and investment-grade corporate bonds, which comprised more than a third of the portfolio on average, were the top performers in global bond markets during the period.
Non-U.S. bonds | The fund’s holdings of bonds from outside of the U.S. contributed notably to performance, led by bonds from New Zealand, the Eurozone and Indonesia.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Foreign currency positioning | Long exposures to the Japanese yen, Indian rupee, and Philippine peso alongside a short exposure to the Mexican peso detracted from performance.


The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Managed Account Shares Bond Completion Portfolio (Bond Completion Portfolio/JHBMX) returned 5.97% for the year ended May 31, 2026. The U.S. bond market delivered positive total returns during the 12-month period. Much of the gain occurred before the start of the war in Iran in early March, reflecting confidence that moderate inflation would allow the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue cutting interest rates. The conflict caused the market to give back some of its prior gains in the final three months of the period, however, as higher oil prices raised the prospect of reaccelerating inflation and less accommodative Fed policy. Credit-oriented market segments generally outperformed on the strength of their higher yields and investors’ hearty appetite for risk.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Agency mortgage-backed securities | The fund’s allocation to this area made the largest contribution to absolute performance due to the combination of its positive total returns and a sizable portfolio weighting.
U.S. Treasuries | Positions in U.S. government bonds also contributed to absolute performance of the fund.
Investment-grade corporates | This segment of the fund made a meaningful contribution, albeit less than other categories due to its smaller weighting. Amgen, Inc. and T-Mobile USA, Inc. were notable contributors at the individual security level.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Certain securities detracted | Oracle Corp., whose bonds were pressured by the extent of the company’s investments in artificial intelligence, was a notable laggard. A small number of individual U.S. Treasury and Fannie Mae holdings detracted, as well.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Managed Account Shares Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio (Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio/JMABX) returned 7.04% for the year ended May 31, 2026. Corporate bonds delivered strong total returns in the 12-month period that ended on May 31, 2026. The gain was driven by the combination of income, positive returns for the U.S. Treasury market, and a decline in yield spreads that was fueled by robust corporate earnings and investors’ hearty appetite for risk. The war in Iran led to heightened volatility in the final three months of the period, however, as rising oil prices raised the prospect of reaccelerating inflation and less accommodative U.S. Federal Reserve policy.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Banking | Holdings in this industry group were some of the largest contributors to absolute performance, reflecting both their robust performance and large portfolio weightings. NatWest Group PLC and UBS Group AG were leading individual contributors.
Energy | The industry also performed well in the annual period, particularly after the start of the war in Iran early March. Occidental Petroleum Corp. was the largest contributor.
Electric utilities | Growing power demand from artificial intelligence (AI) provided a tailwind for the category, fueling gains for issuers such as Pacific Gas & Electric Company and American Electric Power Company, Inc.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
A small number of individual securities | Certain holdings lost ground and had negative impacts on performance. Oracle Corp., whose bonds were pressured by the company’s investments in AI, was a notable laggard. The data center operator QTS Fayetteville and the British bank Barclays PLC were also among the individual positions that finished with losses.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio (Non-Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio/JMADX) returned 7.52% for the year ended May 31, 2026. High-yield bonds delivered strong total returns in the 12-month period that ended on May 31, 2026. The gain was driven by the combination of income, positive returns for the U.S. Treasury market, and a decline in yield spreads that was fueled by robust corporate earnings and investors’ hearty appetite for risk. The war in Iran led to heightened volatility in the final three months of the period, however, as rising oil prices raised the prospect of reaccelerating inflation and less accommodative U.S. Federal Reserve policy.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Consumer cyclicals | Holdings in this industry group made the largest contribution to absolute performance, primarily as a result of the strong showing for The Michaels Companies, Inc. The Canadian auto retailer Global Auto Holdings, Ltd. was a top contributor, as well.
Energy | The industry performed well in the annual period, as the surge in oil prices that accompanied the war in Iran helped boost the earnings prospects for energy companies.
Other sectors | Positions in the communications, electric utilities, and banking sectors further contributed to the fund’s absolute performance.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
A small number of individual securities | Certain holdings finished with losses and had negative impacts on performance. Ambipar Lux Sarl, Saks Global Enterprises LLC, and CSN Resources SA were among the individual positions that finished with losses.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio (Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio/JHFMX) returned 7.29% for the year ended May 31, 2026. The broader U.S. bond market delivered positive total returns in the annual period. Much of the gain occurred before the start of the war in Iran in early March, reflecting confidence that moderate inflation would allow the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue cutting interest rates. The conflict caused the market to give back some of its prior gains in the final three months of the period, however, as higher oil prices raised the prospect of reaccelerating inflation and less accommodative Fed policy. Municipal bonds outperformed the taxable investment-grade market, reflecting positive supply-and-demand conditions, attractive yields relative to U.S. Treasuries, and stable credit trends. High-yield municipal issues slightly underperformed the broader tax-exempt category.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Continuing care retirement and charter schools | The fund’s holdings in these areas made the largest contribution to absolute performance due to the combination of positive total returns and their sizable portfolio weightings.
Other notable sectors | Positions in the tax increment/financing, toll roads/bridges/tunnels, and hospitals sectors also helped results.
Strong performing individual securities | Beaver County Industrial Development Authority was a top contributor, as were bonds issued by the City of Henderson, Kentucky.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Economic and industrial revenue bonds | Although a number of individual issues performed well, the fund’s holdings in this category posted losses in the aggregate. Bonds issued by Polk County, Florida and Brazoria County, Texas detracted from results, as did the Nevada Department of Business & Industry.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Managed Account Shares Securitized Debt Portfolio (Securitized Debt Portfolio/JMAEX) returned 4.67% for the year ended May 31, 2026. Securitized assets produced strong total returns and outpaced the broader investment-grade market in the annual period. The category was helped by periods of declining U.S. Treasury yields, as well as demand for higher-yielding assets that was fueled by investors’ generally hearty appetite for risk.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Asset-backed securities (ABS) | The fund’s allocation to this area made the largest contribution to absolute performance due to the combination of its positive total returns and sizable portfolio weighting.
Commercial mortgage-backed securities and non-agency mortgage-backed securities | These categories also helped results. While both outpaced ABS, they made less of a contribution to the fund’s return due to their smaller allocations.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
A small number of individual securities | Certain holdings—including the asset-backed securities of CF Hippolyta Issuer LLC and New Economy Assets - Phase 1 Sponsor LLC—finished with losses and had negative impacts on performance.

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 registrant'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.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Income Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Strategic Series (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek a high level of current income.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C 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 C shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase (certain exclusions may apply). 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.
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 fund qualifies as an investment company 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 fund:
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 Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund’s valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: 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. 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. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Futures contracts are typically valued based on the settlement price. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward rates which are based on foreign currency exchange spot rates and forward points supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor 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.

Table of Contents
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 Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted 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 fund uses 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 Advisor’s 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.

Table of Contents
Term loans (Floating rate loans). The fund may invest in term loans, which are debt securities and are often rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. Term loans are generally subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and generally have longer settlement periods than conventional debt securities. Term loans involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest-rate risk, counterparty risk, and risk associated with extended settlement. The liquidity of term loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a term loan can be more difficult and buying and selling a term loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult and delayed, which could result in a loss.
The fund’s ability to receive payments of principal, interest and other amounts in connection with term loans will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The fund’s failure to receive scheduled payments on a term loan due to a default, bankruptcy or other reason would adversely affect the fund’s income and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Transactions in loan investments typically take a significant amount of time (i.e., seven days or longer) to settle. This could pose a liquidity risk to the fund and, if the fund’s exposure to such investments is substantial, it could impair the fund’s ability to meet redemptions. Because term loans may not be rated by independent credit rating agencies, a decision to invest in a particular loan could depend exclusively on the subadvisor’s credit analysis of the borrower and/or term loan agents. There is greater risk that the fund may have limited rights to enforce the terms of an underlying loan than for other types of debt instruments.
Mortgage and asset-backed securities. The fund may invest in mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, which are debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the fund having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the fund’s income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the fund’s cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities.  The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations (e.g., FNMA), may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The fund is also subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
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. 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 fund 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.

Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund may invest its cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the fund, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.
The fund has 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund receives compensation for lending its 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 fund 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 Statement of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund are shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. As of May 31, 2026, the fund loaned securities valued at $17,473,597 and received $17,894,259 of cash collateral.
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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund 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 fund’s 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 fund 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 fund 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 fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is 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 fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Line of credit. The fund 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, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund 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 the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit. Commitment fees for the year ended May 31, 2026 were $9,061.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class 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. The fund 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.
For federal income tax purposes, as of May 31, 2026, the fund has a short-term capital loss carryforward of $111,541,236 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $199,958,313 available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire.
As of May 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.
The tax character of distributions for the years ended May 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:
  May 31, 2026 May 31, 2025
Ordinary income $79,685,456 $76,112,735
Distributions paid by the fund 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. As of May 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $6,767,519 of undistributed ordinary income.
Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, 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 fund’s financial statements as a return of capital.

Table of Contents
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. 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 foreign currency transactions, derivative transactions and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
Note 3Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Derivatives which are typically traded through the OTC market are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund, if any, is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund, if any, for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying Fund’s investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.
Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular currency or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. Futures are traded on an exchange and cleared through a central clearinghouse. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets and contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is set by the broker and is generally based on a percentage of the contract value. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the
43 JOHN HANCOCK Income Fund |

contract. Cash that has been pledged by the fund, if any, is detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities as Collateral held at broker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the fund, if any, are identified in the Fund’s investments. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. Payable for futures variation margin is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the year ended May 31, 2026, the fund used futures contracts to manage duration of the fund. The fund held futures contracts with USD notional values ranging from $16.5 million to $56.9 million, as measured at each quarter end.  
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Forwards are typically traded OTC. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, and the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
During the year ended May 31, 2026, the fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against anticipated changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The fund held forward foreign currency contracts with USD notional values ranging from $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion, as measured at each quarter end.

For financial reporting purposes, the fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements, as defined by the ISDAs, in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA allows an offset of amounts across the various transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty.

Note 4Guarantees 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Strategic Series and Shareholders of John Hancock Income Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the Fund’s investments, of John Hancock Income Fund (one of the funds constituting John Hancock Strategic Series, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of May 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of May 31, 2026, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended May 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s 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 Fund 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 May 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, transfer agent 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 opinion.

Notes to financial statements
Note 1Organization
John Hancock Managed Account Shares Bond Completion Portfolio, John Hancock Managed Account Shares Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio and John Hancock Managed Account Shares Securitized Debt Portfolio (collectively, John Hancock Managed Account Shares Portfolios, or the Portfolios, and individually, Portfolio) are each a series of John Hancock Strategic Series (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective for each portfolio, except for John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio is to seek high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk. The investment objective for John Hancock Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio is to seek a high level of interest income exempt from federal income tax.
Shares of the portfolios may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where the portfolios’ subadvisor or an affiliate of the subadvisor (each a “Managed Account Adviser”) has an agreement with the managed account program sponsor (the “Program Sponsor”) (typically, a registered investment adviser or broker dealer), or directly with the client, to provide management or advisory services to the managed account.
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 Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the portfolios’ valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: 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. 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. Investments by the portfolios in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day.
In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor 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 Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted 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 Advisor’s 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 May 31, 2026, by major security category or type:

When-issued/delayed-delivery securities. The portfolios may purchase or sell securities on a when-issued or delayed-delivery basis, or in a “To Be Announced” (TBA) or “forward commitment” transaction, with delivery or payment to occur at a later date beyond the normal settlement period. TBA securities resulting from these transactions are included in the portfolio or in a schedule to the portfolio (Sale Commitments Outstanding). At the time a portfolio enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in its NAV. The price of such security and the date that the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues on debt securities until settlement takes place. At the time that the portfolio enters into this type of transaction, the portfolio is required to have sufficient cash and/or liquid securities to cover its commitments.
Certain risks may arise upon entering into when-issued or delayed-delivery securities transactions, including the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, and the issuer’s failure to issue the securities due to political, economic or other factors. Additionally, losses may arise due to changes in the value of the securities purchased or sold prior to settlement date.
Term loans (Floating rate loans). The portfolios may invest in term loans, which are debt securities and are often rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. Term loans are generally subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and generally have longer settlement periods than conventional debt securities. Term loans involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest-rate risk, counterparty risk, and risk associated with extended settlement. The liquidity of term
   | JOHN HANCOCK MANAGED ACCOUNT SHARES 38

Table of Contents
loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a term loan can be more difficult and buying and selling a term loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult and delayed, which could result in a loss.
The portfolios’ ability to receive payments of principal, interest and other amounts in connection with term loans will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The portfolios’ failure to receive scheduled payments on a term loan due to a default, bankruptcy or other reason would adversely affect the portfolios’ income and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Transactions in loan investments typically take a significant amount of time (i.e., seven days or longer) to settle. This could pose a liquidity risk to the portfolios and, if the portfolios’ exposure to such investments is substantial, it could impair the portfolios’ ability to meet redemptions. Because term loans may not be rated by independent credit rating agencies, a decision to invest in a particular loan could depend exclusively on the subadvisor’s credit analysis of the borrower and/or term loan agents. There is greater risk that the portfolios may have limited rights to enforce the terms of an underlying loan than for other types of debt instruments.
Mortgage and asset-backed securities. The portfolios may invest in mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, which are debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the portfolios having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the portfolios’ income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the portfolios’ cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities.  The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations (e.g., FNMA), may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The portfolios are also subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market’s perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.
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. 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.
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, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds 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 an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the portfolios had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the year ended May 31, 2026 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 each 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.
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.
For federal income tax purposes, as of May 31, 2026, certain portfolios have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of May 31, 2026:

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, 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.
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, distributions payable, and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
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 equivalent on an annual basis to the sum of 0.63% of the portfolios’ average daily net assets. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive or reimburse 100% of the portfolios’ operating expenses. Expenses, means all expenses, excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the portfolios’ business, borrowing costs, acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly. This agreement expires on September 30, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The portfolios are an integral part of a separately managed account program, and the portfolios’ manager, the portfolios’ subadvisor or their affiliates will be compensated directly or indirectly by separately managed account program sponsors or program participants for managed account advisory services. Participants in a separately managed account program pay a “wrap” fee to the sponsor of the program. Participants pay no additional fees or expenses to purchase shares of the portfolios.
For the year ended May 31, 2026, the expense reductions described above amounted to the following:
     
Portfolio   Expense Reductions
Managed Account Shares Bond Completion Portfolio     $115,765
Managed Account Shares Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio     3,028,215
Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio     1,196,132
Managed Account Shares Non-Investment-Grade Municipal Bond Portfolio     227,493
Managed Account Shares Securitized Debt Portfolio     1,715,353
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 May 31, 2026, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.00% of each portfolio’s average daily net assets.
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 accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended May 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the portfolios’ average daily net assets. For the year ended May 31, 2026, these fees have been waived by the Advisor.
Transfer agent fees. The portfolios have a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor.

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, based on the average daily net assets. For the year ended May 31, 2026, the portfolios did not incur any transfer agent fees.
Trustee expenses. The portfolios compensate each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each portfolio based on their net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.

Note 7Industry or sector risk
The portfolios may invest a large percentage of their assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of a portfolio’s assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the portfolio will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified portfolio, and it may cause the portfolio to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the portfolio’s NAV more volatile. Further, a portfolio that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors. Financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines, changes in interest rates, and regulatory and market impacts.
Note 8Investment in affiliated underlying funds
The portfolios may invest in affiliated underlying funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates.

Note 9Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the portfolios’ chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Each portfolio represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the portfolio as a whole, and the portfolio’s long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the portfolio’s subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statements of assets and liabilities as “Total assets”, which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statements of operations, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations”, Statements of changes in net assets, which includes “Increase (decrease) in net assets from portfolio share transactions”, and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

Basis for Opinions      
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Portfolio’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Portfolio’s 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 May 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agent, agent banks 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.
