Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Capital Appreciation Value Fund (Class NAV/JCAVX) returned 10.24% for the year ended August 31, 2026. U.S. equity markets generated strong gains in the 12-month period. Stocks advanced in late 2025, supported by resilient economic growth, Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, solid corporate earnings, and ongoing enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). Markets experienced periods of heightened volatility in 2026 as investors weighed tariff-related inflation concerns, shifting interest rate expectations, and conflict in the Middle East, which drove sharp swings in oil prices. Despite these headwinds, equities recovered from periodic sell-offs and reached new highs, supported by generally strong corporate earnings and continued optimism surrounding AI-related investment.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. | The leading semiconductor company contributed to absolute returns during the year as its partnership with OpenAI and continued demand for AI-related processors supported its shares.
Apple, Inc. | A position in the company also contributed to absolute returns as investor enthusiasm for new product launches and strong earnings reports supported its shares during the year.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
PTC, Inc. | As a leading computer-aided design and product life-cycle management software provider, PTC detracted from absolute returns during the year as muted guidance, the divestiture of its industrial internet of things business, and competitive concerns weighed on shares.
Meta Platforms, Inc. | Shares of the company detracted from absolute returns as investors remained concerned about the company's increased investment in AI infrastructure throughout the period.

Core Bond Fund
(Class NAV/JHCDX)		 $61 0.61%
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Core Bond Fund (Class NAV/JHCDX) returned 1.55% for the year ended August 31, 2026. High-quality fixed income performed reasonably well during the period, as higher overall yields more than offset weakness resulting from rising interest rates, which were driven by geopolitical conflict, accelerated capital expenditures for artificial intelligence (AI) investment, and sticky inflation.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Agency mortgage-backed securities | Positions in agency mortgage-backed passthroughs were the largest contributor to performance. Agency collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs) were also strong contributors.
Asset-backed securities and corporate bonds | Asset-backed securities and corporate bonds issued by financial institutions were also significant contributors to performance.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
U.S. Treasuries | Holdings in longer maturity Treasuries detracted from performance, as yields were not fully able to offset the impact of higher interest rates in this part of the yield curve.
Technology bonds | Holdings in corporate bonds in the technology sector detracted from performance, as concerns over the magnitude of debt issuance used to fund AI-related capital expenditures grew.

International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund
(Class NAV)		 $63 0.56%
Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund (Class NAV) returned 26.73% for the year ended August 31, 2026. International equity markets advanced during the period, supported by solid corporate earnings growth, continued investment in artificial intelligence (AI) related infrastructure, resilient economic activity, and generally accommodative monetary policies. Periodic volatility stemming from geopolitical tensions, higher energy prices, and trade policy uncertainty tempered gains but did not derail overall positive market performance.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Information technology stocks | The information technology sector contributed the most to absolute performance. Holdings in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. were an indispensable component in the global semiconductor supply chain as AI-fueled demand remained robust.
Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. | Growing global demand for high-bandwidth memory, particularly for usage in AI chips and datacenters, helped boost this stock.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Communication services | This was the only sector detracting from absolute performance primarily as a result of holdings in Tencent Holdings, Ltd.
Certain other holdings | Other weak performers included SAP SE, Xiaomi Corp., and Novo Nordisk A/S.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Mid Value Fund (Class NAV/JMVNX) returned 22.00% for the year ended August 31, 2026. U.S. equity markets generated strong gains in the 12-month period. Stocks advanced in late 2025, supported by resilient economic growth, Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, solid corporate earnings, and ongoing enthusiasm surrounding artificial intelligence (AI). Markets experienced periods of heightened volatility in 2026 as investors weighed tariff-related inflation concerns, shifting interest rate expectations, and conflict in the Middle East, which drove sharp swings in oil prices. Despite these headwinds, equities recovered from periodic sell-offs and reached new highs, supported by generally strong corporate earnings and continued optimism surrounding AI-related investment.
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Sandisk Corp. | This NAND memory company was the leading absolute contributor to performance as shares surged amid increased recognition of the company’s value potential following its spinoff from Western Digital Corp., supported by sharply higher NAND pricing, substantial margin expansion, and strong AI-driven storage demand.
Western Digital Corp. | The pure-play hard disk drive (HDD) company following its flash business spinoff also aided performance as shares benefited from strong hyperscale cloud HDD demand, higher exabyte volumes, favorable pricing, margin expansion, and durable AI-driven storage demand.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Perrigo Company PLC | The consumer self-care company detracted the most from absolute performance as soft over-the-counter consumption and persistent infant formula challenges pressured sales and led to reduced expectations, while lower expected cash flows and weaker business prospects resulted in significant goodwill impairments.
Verra Mobility Corp. | The smart mobility technology company also hindered performance as shares declined sharply in May after major customer Avis Budget terminated a significant commercial services contract, prompting management to cut full-year guidance.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance
SUMMARY OF RESULTS
U.S. Sector Rotation Fund (Class NAV) returned 19.75% for the year ended August 31, 2026. U.S. equities delivered a robust gain in the annual period, albeit with a brief stretch of weakness in March following the start of the conflict in Iran. Investors were encouraged by the highly favorable backdrop of healthy economic growth trends, strong corporate earnings, and supportive U.S. Federal Reserve policy, as well as optimism about artificial intelligence (AI).
TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
Information technology | Stocks in this sector made the largest contribution to absolute performance due to the combination of their return and sizable portfolio weighting. The semiconductor stocks Apple, Inc., NVIDIA Corp., and Micron Technology, Inc. all performed well.
Health care | Eli Lilly & Company, which continued to benefit from strong demand for its weight loss drugs, also added to absolute performance.
Communication services | Alphabet, Inc. was a leading contributor in this sector along with Warner Brothers Discovery, Inc., and Verizon Communications, Inc.


TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
Specific individual holdings | Shares of Meta Platforms, Inc. came under pressure on concerns that the company’s significant investments in AI were reducing its free cash flow. Netflix, Inc., which lagged due to slower subscriber growth and declining viewer engagement, was another key detractor.
Certain software stocks | Although the fund’s information technology holdings performed well overall, certain software stocks—including Microsoft Corp. and Oracle Corp.—were notable detractors.

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

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

The 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. At the regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, the Committee reviews a report summarizing the services, including fees, provided by the Auditor.

(e)(2) Services approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees

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

(f) According to the registrant's principal accountant for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2026, the percentage of hours spent on the audit of the registrant's financial statements for the most recent fiscal year that were attributed to work performed by persons who were not full-time, permanent employees of principal accountant was less than 50%.

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

John Hancock Funds II
Notes to financial statements
1.  Organization
John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series, five of which are presented in this report (the funds). 
The funds may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by a specific fund are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class 1 shares were offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds, retirement plans for employees of John Hancock and/or Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain 529 plans. 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.
Class 1 shares of Core Bond Fund were fully redeemed on July 15, 2026.
2.  Significant 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 funds 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 funds:
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 funds' valuation designee.
In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: 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 in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. 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. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mid-price of the last quoted bid and ask prices from the exchange where the option trades. Unlisted options are generally valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Futures contracts are typically valued based on the settlement price. 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.
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. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.
The funds 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.

Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.
When-issued/delayed-delivery securities. The funds 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 fund 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 fund enters into this type of transaction, the fund 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 funds 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 funds' 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 funds' failure to receive scheduled payments on a term loan due to a default, bankruptcy or other reason would adversely affect the funds' 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 funds and, if the funds' exposure to such investments is substantial, it could impair the funds' 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the funds' 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 funds' 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 funds 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.
Payment-in-kind bonds. The funds may invest in payment-in-kind bonds (PIK Bonds). PIK Bonds allow the issuer, at its option, to make current interest payments on the bonds either in cash or in additional bonds. The market prices of PIK Bonds are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes and thereby tend to be more volatile than securities which pay cash interest periodically. Income on these securities is computed at the contractual rate specified and is added to the principal balance of the bond. This income is required to be distributed to shareholders. Because no cash is received at the time income accrues on these securities, the funds may need to sell other investments to make distributions.
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. Distributions received on securities that represent a tax return of capital and/or capital gain, if any, are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain, if amounts are estimable. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.  
Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The funds may invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, 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. Each fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.
The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the funds 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the funds are shown on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. The following table summarizes the values of securities loaned by the funds and the corresponding cash collateral received at August 31, 2026. In addition, non-cash collateral in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged, as indicated below. This non-cash collateral cannot be sold or repledged by the funds, and accordingly, is not reflected in the funds' net assets.

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. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging markets. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.
There may be unexpected restrictions on investments or on exposures to investments in companies located in certain foreign countries, such as China. For example, a government may restrict investment in companies or industries considered important to national interests, or intervene in the financial markets, such as by imposing trading restrictions, or banning or curtailing short selling. As a result of forced sales of a security, or inability to participate in an

investment the manager otherwise believes is attractive, a fund may incur losses.
Trading in certain Chinese securities through Hong Kong Stock Connect or Bond Connect, mutual market access programs that enable foreign investment in the People's Republic of China, is subject to certain restrictions and risks. Securities offered through these programs may lose purchase eligibility and any changes in laws, regulations and policies impacting these programs may affect security prices, which could adversely affect the fund's performance.
Foreign taxes. The funds 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 funds' 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 funds 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 funds 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 funds' custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to make properly authorized payments. The funds 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 fund 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 funds and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with The Bank of New York Mellon as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 12, 2027 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.  Prior to July 13, 2026, a similar syndicated line of credit agreement was held with Citibank N.A. 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 fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the year ended August 31, 2026, the funds had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Commitment fees for the year ended August 31, 2026 were as follows:
Fund Commitment fee
Capital Appreciation Value Fund $6,300

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 each 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. Each 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 August 31, 2026, certain funds have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of August 31, 2026:
  No Expiration Date
Fund Short Term Long Term
Core Bond Fund $134,953,221 $141,749,527
As of August 31, 2026, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The funds' federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on August 31, 2026, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. Core Bond Fund generally declares and pays dividends from net investment income quarterly.  All other funds generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. All funds generally declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, annually.

U.S. Sector Rotation Fund 46,290,223 61,284,936
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 funds' financial statements as a return of capital.
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 investments in passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals and corporate actions.
3.  Derivative instruments
The funds may invest in derivatives in order to meet their 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 funds are 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 funds attempt to reduce their 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 their 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 funds 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 funds, if any, are held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the funds and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the funds, if any, for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the funds' custodian and is noted in the accompanying portfolio of investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statements of assets and liabilities. The funds' 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 funds 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
63
Table of Contents
Derivative instruments, continued
    
potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the funds to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the funds to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the funds are 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 contract. Cash that has been pledged by the funds, if any, is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Collateral held at broker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the funds, if any, are identified in the Portfolio of investments. Subsequent payments, referred to as variation margin, are made or received by the funds 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 funds. Receivable/Payable for futures variation margin is included in the Statements of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, the funds record 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.
The following table details how the funds used futures contracts during the year ended August 31, 2026. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Options. There are two types of options, put options and call options. Options are traded either OTC or on an exchange. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy (and the seller the obligation to sell) the underlying asset at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell (and the writer the obligation to buy) the underlying asset at the exercise price. Writing puts and buying calls may increase the funds' exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Buying puts and writing calls may decrease the funds' exposure to such changes. Risks related to the use of options include the loss of premiums on purchased options, possible illiquidity of the options markets, trading restrictions imposed by an exchange and movements in underlying security values, and for written options, potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. In addition, OTC options are subject to the risks of all OTC derivatives contracts.
Purchased options are included in the Portfolio of investments and are subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect current market value. If a purchased option expires, a fund realizes a loss equal to the premium paid for the option. Premiums paid for purchased options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying asset transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). Written options are included as liabilities in the Statements of assets and liabilities and are “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value. If the written option expires, a fund realizes a gain equal to the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying asset transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). 
The following table details how the funds used written options contracts during the year ended August 31, 2026. In addition, the table summarizes the range of market value amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

4.  Guarantees 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 funds. 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.

This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the funds and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive its management fee on International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund and U.S. Sector Rotation Fund so that the amount retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fees for the fund does not exceed 0.45% of the fund’s average net assets. This voluntary waiver may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the funds.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fees for the funds subadvised by T.

8.  Industry or sector risk
Certain funds 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 fund's assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund’s NAV more volatile. Further, a fund 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. Information technology companies can be significantly affected by rapid obsolescence, short product cycles, competition from new market entrants, and heightened cybersecurity risk, among other factors.
9.  Investment in affiliated underlying funds
The funds may invest in affiliated underlying funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. Information regarding the funds' fiscal year to date purchases and sales of the affiliated underlying funds as well as income and capital gains earned by the funds, if any, is as follows:

11.  Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the funds' chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. Each fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund'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 fund'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

John Hancock Funds II
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Funds II and Shareholders of Capital Appreciation Value Fund, Core Bond Fund, International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund, Mid Value Fund and U.S. Sector Rotation Fund
Opinions on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolio of investments, of Capital Appreciation Value Fund, Core Bond Fund, International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund, Mid Value Fund and U.S. Sector Rotation Fund (five of the funds constituting John Hancock Funds II, hereafter collectively referred to as the "Funds") as of August 31, 2026, the related statements of operations for the year ended August 31, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 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 each of the Funds as of August 31, 2026, the results of each of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in each of their net assets for each of the two years in the period ended August 31, 2026 and each of the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended August 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 
Basis for Opinions
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ 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 Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of August 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents, 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.

John Hancock Funds II
Evaluation of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements by the Board of Trustees
This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) with John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) and each of the Subadvisory Agreements (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report (the Funds). The Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the Agreements.  Prior to the June 22-25, 2026 meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at a meeting held on May 26-28, 2026. The Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust as defined by the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees) also met separately to evaluate and discuss the information presented, including with counsel to the Independent Trustees and a third-party consulting firm.
Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements
At meetings held on June 22-25, 2026, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the 1940 Act, reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the applicable Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and the investment subadvisors (each, a Subadvisor and collectively, the Subadvisors) with respect to each of the Funds identified below in Appendix A.
In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; performance information for the Funds’ benchmark indices; and, with respect to each Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor’s revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisors is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, and prior presentations from the Subadvisors with respect to the Funds they manage. The information received and considered by the Board in connection with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of a certain Subadvisor with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor’s affiliates, including distribution services. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and Subadvisor in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.
Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the
Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.
Approval of Advisory Agreement
In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board’s conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board’s ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor's compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust’s Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds’ compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Funds' compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity risk management programs, derivatives risk management programs, and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the Subadvisors, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisors and other third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risk assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds, including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds, and ongoing risks, including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor’s management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor’s duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee’s experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the John Hancock group of funds complex (John Hancock Fund Complex).
In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:
(a) the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust’s affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor’s oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisors’ investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisors’ compliance with Fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor’s timeliness in responding to performance issues;
(b) the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor’s personnel;
(c) the Advisor’s compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and fund industry developments;
(d) the Advisor’s administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds, as well as the Advisor’s oversight of any securities lending activity, its monitoring of class action litigation and collection of class action settlements on behalf of the Funds, and bringing loss recovery actions on behalf of the Funds;

Evaluation of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements by the Board of Trustees
(e) the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
(f) the Advisor’s reputation and experience in serving as an investment adviser to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.
The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.
Investment performance. In considering each Fund’s performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds’ performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:
(a) reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds’ performance;
(b) considered the comparative performance of each Fund’s respective benchmark index;
(c) considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(d) took into account the Advisor’s analysis of each Fund’s performance and its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust’s subadvisory arrangements generally and with respect to particular Funds.
The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection and size of the peer group. The Board reviewed Fund performance against each Fund’s respective benchmark index and peer group median and also concluded that the performance of each of the Funds has generally been in line with or generally outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark, with certain exceptions noted in Appendix A. In such cases, the Board concluded that such performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed, where appropriate.
Fees and expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data including, among other data, each Fund’s contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the management and advisory and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisor, respectively. The Board considered each Fund’s ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund’s ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund’s contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fees include both advisory and administrative costs.
The Board took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses. The Board took into account management’s discussion with respect to the overall management fee and the fees of the Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fee, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds, and that such fees are negotiated at arm’s length with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors. The Board also took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted management’s discussion of the Funds’ expenses, as well as any actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds’ operating expenses. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fee charged by the Advisor or one of its advisory affiliates to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor’s and each
Subadvisor’s services to a Fund and the services they provide to other comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.
Profitability/Fall out benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisors that are affiliated with the Advisor) from the Advisor’s relationship with the Trust, the Board:
(a) reviewed financial information of the Advisor;
(b) reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;
(c) received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock fund complex as a whole and with respect to each Fund;
(d) received information with respect to the Advisor’s allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor’s allocation methodologies;
(e) considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;
(f) considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;
(g) noted that one of the Funds’ Subadvisors is an affiliate of the Advisor
(h) noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the Funds, and that the Funds' distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the Funds;
(i) noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;
(j) noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor and are negotiated at arms’ length with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors;
(k) considered the Advisor’s ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the fund industry; and
(l) considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.
Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates (including any Subadvisors that are affiliated with the Advisor), from their relationship with each Fund was not unreasonable in view of all factors considered.
Economies of scale. In considering the extent to which a Fund may realize any economies of scale as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:
(a) considered that the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for certain funds of the John Hancock Fund Complex, including the Funds (the participating portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the participating portfolios (the reimbursement). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund;

Evaluation of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements by the Board of Trustees
(b) reviewed the Trust’s advisory fee structure and the incorporation therein of any subadvisory fee breakpoints in the advisory fees charged and concluded that (i) the Funds’ fee structures contain breakpoints at the subadvisory fee level and that such breakpoints are reflected as breakpoints in the advisory fees for Funds and (ii) although economies of scale cannot be measured with precision, these arrangements permit shareholders of Funds with advisory fee breakpoints to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Funds’ advisory fee structure; and
(c) considered the effect of the Funds’ growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds’ assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.
Approval of Subadvisory Agreement
In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreement, the Board reviewed:
(1) information relating to each Subadvisor’s business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex);
(2) the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund’s benchmark and comparable funds;
(3) the subadvisory fee for each Fund, and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third-party provider of fund data; and
(4) information relating to the nature and scope of any material relationships and their significance to the Trust’s Advisor and unaffiliated Subadvisors.
Nature, extent, and quality of services. With respect to the services provided by each of the Subadvisors with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by each Subadvisor, including each Subadvisor’s Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered each Subadvisor’s current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to a Subadvisor’s compensation program. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor’s history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background and responsibilities of each Subadvisor’s investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, each Subadvisor’s compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered each Subadvisor’s risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor’s regulatory history, including whether it was involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of each Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with each of the Subadvisors and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the Subadvisors and procedures reasonably designed by them to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of each Subadvisor.
The Board considered each Subadvisor’s investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that each Subadvisor’s responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund that is consistent with the Fund’s investment objective, the selection of investment securities and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to each Subadvisor’s brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.
Subadvisor compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interest the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreements.
The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Subadvisory Agreement with Subadvisors that are not affiliated with the Advisor and the fees thereunder at arm’s length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by unaffiliated Subadvisors from their relationship with the Trust were not a material factor in the Board’s consideration of the Subadvisory Agreements.
The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (including their significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to unaffiliated Subadvisors) of any material relationships with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors, which include arrangements in which unaffiliated Subadvisors or their affiliates provide advisory, distribution or management services in connection with financial products sponsored by the Advisor or its affiliates, and may include shares of the Trust, other registered investment companies, a 529 education savings plan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold to qualified plans.
In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisors and their affiliates may receive from a Subadvisor’s relationship with a Fund, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and reputational benefits.
Subadvisory fees. The Board considered that each Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays subadvisory fees to each Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund’s subadvisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third-party provider of fund data, to the extent applicable. The Board also took into account the subadvisory fees paid by the Advisor to a Subadvisor with respect to the Funds to fees charged by each Fund’s Subadvisor to manage other subadvised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.
Subadvisor performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund’s performance as compared to the Fund’s respective peer group median and the benchmark index and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund’s performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor’s expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor’s focus on each Subadvisor’s performance. The Board also noted each Subadvisor’s long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.
The Board’s decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement was based on a number of determinations, including the following:
(1) each Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
(2) although not without variation, the performance of each Fund managed by a Subadvisor generally has been in line with or outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds and/or each Fund’s respective benchmark, with the exceptions noted in Appendix A (with respect to such exceptions, the Board concluded that performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed);
(3) the subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreements; and

Evaluation of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements by the Board of Trustees
(4) the subadvisory fees are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds, and that the subadvisory fee structure for the Funds contains breakpoints, and such breakpoints are reflected as breakpoints in the advisory fees for the Funds in order to permit shareholders to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow.
Additional information relating to each Fund’s fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.
***
Based on the Board’s evaluation of all factors that the Board deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.
