Bond Fund Morningstar Ratings, as of 12/31/2014
Class A Overall rating The Fund was rated four stars out of 913 funds, five stars out of 808 funds and five stars out of 588 funds for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively.
Class A Load-waived rating The Fund was rated five stars out of 913 funds, five stars out of 808 funds and five stars out of 588 funds for the 3-, 5- and 10-year periods, respectively. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category, the next 22.5%, 35%, 22.5% and the bottom 10% receive 5, 4, 3, 2 or 1 star respectively. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of 1 fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance associated with its 3-, 5- and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar Rating metrics. The overall rating includes effects of sales charges, loads and redemption fees, while the load-waived rating does not. Load-waived ratings for Class A shares should only be considered by investors who are not subject to a front-end sales charge.

The Fund’s net annual operating expense ratio as of the current prospectus is 0.93%. The gross annual operating expense ratio of 0.98% is reduced due to a contractual expense reimbursement, which is in effect until at least 9/30/15 and may be terminated by the Adviser any time after this date. Expenses for other share classes will vary, which will affect returns. Performance figures assume that all distributions are reinvested. Performance quoted without sales charges would be reduced if the sales charges were applied. For performance data current to the most recent month end, contact your John Hancock Inside Business Consultant at 1-800-225-6020. The performance data contained within this material represents past performance, which 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 the original cost. The Fund’s current performance may be higher or lower and is subject to substantial changes.

A Word About Risk Bond Fund Symbols A: JHNBX
C: JHCBX I: JHBIX
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if a creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and may be subject to early repayment and the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness. The use of hedging and derivatives could produce disproportionate gains or losses and may increase costs. Fund distributions generally depend on income from underlying investments and may vary or cease altogether in the future. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional risks. A fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses should be considered carefully before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important information about the Fund. To obtain a prospectus, contact your John Hancock Funds Inside Business Consultant at 1-800-225-6020 or visit our web site at www.jhinvestments.com. Please read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.
