Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2070 Lifetime Portfolio (Class 1/JHOPX) returned 20.68% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, a small position in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) was adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2065 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R2/JAAZX) returned 20.02% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, a small position in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) was adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.

Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, a small position in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) was adversely affected by rising yields.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2060 Lifetime Portfolio (Class I/JMENX) returned 20.42% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2055 Lifetime Portfolio (Class 1/JLKUX) returned 20.47% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, a small position in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) was adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.
GROWTH OF $10,000
| AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN | 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2055 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R6/JLKTX) returned 20.41% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, a small position in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) was adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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 $1,000,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.
GROWTH OF $1,000,000
| AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN | 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and can be found at jhinvestments.com/investments or by calling 800-225-5291.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2050 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R5/JLKHX) returned 20.42% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by short-term bonds and emerging market debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2045 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R2/JLJEX) returned 18.87% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds and short-term bonds aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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
Multimanager 2040 Lifetime Portfolio (Class I/JHRDX) returned 17.90% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds and short-term bonds aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in international real estate investment trusts and U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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).

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2035 Lifetime Portfolio (Class 1/JLHOX) returned 16.25% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds and short-term bonds aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in international real estate investment trusts and U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.
GROWTH OF $10,000
| AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN | 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2035 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R6/JLHIX) returned 16.23% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds and short-term bonds aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in international real estate investment trusts and U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2030 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R4/JLFGX) returned 13.93% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in short-term bonds, high yield bonds, multi-sector bonds, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2025 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R2/JLEEX) returned 11.69% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager 2020 Lifetime Portfolio (Class A/JLDAX) returned 10.50% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in short-term bonds, high yield bonds, multi-sector bonds, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.

Multimanager 2020 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R6/JLDIX) returned 10.87% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in short-term bonds, high yield bonds, multi-sector bonds, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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
Multimanager 2015 Lifetime Portfolio (Class R5/JLBHX) returned 9.66% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in short-term bonds, high yield bonds, multi-sector bonds, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.

Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made a significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results. Defensive equities also generated positive returns. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for energy stocks and the metals & mining sector.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in short-term bonds, high yield bonds, multi-sector bonds, short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in international real estate investment trusts and U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio (Class R2/JQLAX) returned 20.09% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, including the fund’s sizable allocation to large caps. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for the energy and metals & mining sectors.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation also contributed, albeit to a much lesser extent than equities due to its lower return and modest portfolio weighting.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.
GROWTH OF $10,000
| AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN | 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and can be found at jhinvestments.com/investments or by calling 800-225-5291. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager Lifestyle Growth Portfolio (Class A/JALGX) returned 17.43% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, including the fund’s sizable allocation to large caps. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for the energy and metals & mining sectors.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation also contributed, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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.
GROWTH OF $10,000
| AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURN | 1 Year | 5 Years | 10 Years |
Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested and reflect the beneficial effect of any expense reductions. Figures reflect maximum sales charge on Class A shares of 4.50%. Past performance does not guarantee future results. 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 fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown and can be found at jhinvestments.com/investments or by calling 800-225-5291. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager Lifestyle Growth Portfolio (Class R6/JULGX) returned 17.84% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio (Class I/JTBIX) returned 13.92% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, including the fund’s sizable allocation to large caps. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for the energy and metals & mining sectors.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation also contributed, led by intermediate-term bonds, emerging markets debt, and multi-sector bonds. Holdings in high yield bonds, bank loans, and short-term bonds aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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.
Fund Performance
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 $250,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.
GROWTH OF $250,000

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Multimanager Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio (Class 5/JHLMX) returned 10.12% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, including the fund’s sizable allocation to large caps. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for the energy and metals & mining sectors.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation also contributed, led by intermediate-term bonds, multi-sector bonds, and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds, short-term bonds, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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
Multimanager Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio (Class R4/JSLMX) returned 9.90% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, including the fund’s sizable allocation to large caps. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. The real assets portfolio was an additional contributor with strong returns for the energy and metals & mining sectors.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation also contributed, led by intermediate-term bonds, multi-sector bonds, and emerging markets debt. Holdings in high yield bonds, short-term bonds, and bank loans aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific positions | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, the majority of the fund’s holdings recorded a gain. However, small positions in U.S. Treasury STRIPS (Separate Trading of Registered Interest and Principal of Securities) were adversely affected by rising yields.
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
Multimanager Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio (Class I/JTOIX) returned 6.31% for the year ended August 31, 2026. Global equities produced sizable gains in the 12-month period that ended on August 31, 2026. Investors were encouraged by the favorable combination of healthy economic growth trends, robust corporate earnings, and generally supportive central bank policies, together with optimism about artificial intelligence. While technology stocks performed very well, the value style outpaced growth on a global basis and contributed meaningfully to the markets’ strong showing. Emerging market equities also posted outsized returns. Bonds registered more modest gains, led by credit-oriented investments. Income was the primary contributor to total returns for fixed income instruments, as prices came under pressure from concerns about persistent inflation, global conflicts, energy prices, and mounting government debt across the developed world.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Equity allocation | U.S. equities made the most significant contribution to absolute performance, led by large cap equities. International developed market equities further helped results, as did emerging market stocks. Defensive equities also generated positive returns.
Bond funds | The fixed-income allocation contributed positively, led by intermediate-term bonds and emerging markets debt. Holdings in multi-sector bonds, high yield bonds, short-term bonds, bank loans, and short-term U.S. Treasury Inflation Protected Securities aided returns as well.
TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
No detractors | At a time of positive returns for most segments of the financial markets, none of the fund’s holdings detracted from absolute 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.
Fund Performance
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 $250,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.
