Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 5.00%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I and Class NAV shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. For all classes, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | Class NAV | |||||
Net/Gross (%) | 1.76 | 1.52 | 1.24 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.
† Index is the MSCI All Country World Index.

MSCI All Country World Index (gross of foreign withholding tax on dividends) is a free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed and emerging markets.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would have resulted in lower values.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,166.10 | $9.34 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,167.30 | 7.81 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,169.30 | 6.62 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,016.60 | $8.69 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,018.00 | 7.27 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,019.10 | 6.16 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.71%, 1.43%, and 1.21% for Class A, Class I, and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Foreign investing has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. The fund may invest its assets in a small number of issuers. Performance could suffer significantly from adverse events affecting these issuers. A portfolio concentrated in one sector or that holds a limited number of securities may fluctuate more than a diversified portfolio. Frequent trading may increase fund transaction costs. Owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track. The fund may invest in IPOs, which are frequently volatile in price and may lead to increased portfolio turnover. The fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, which may cause the fund to not meet its investment objective. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Technical Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, printing and postage, and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Investment Trust (JHCIT), are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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 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 fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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.
22 | Technical Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund’s investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.
Semiannual report | Technical Opportunities Fund | 23 |
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives cash collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund will invest its collateral in JHCIT, an affiliate of the portfolio, which has a floating net asset value (NAV) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. JHCIT invests cash received as collateral as part of the securities lending program in short-term money market investments. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCIT with respect to the cash collateral.
If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible to and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCIT.
Although the risk of the loss of the securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. The fund may receive compensation for lending its securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Net income received from JHCIT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund is shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
24 | Technical Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $267. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to net operating losses and wash sale loss deferrals.

Note 3 — 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 1.20% of the first $250,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets and b) 1.15% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $250,000,000.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimbursement expense for certain funds of the John Hancock funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the funds and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive other fund level expenses excluding advisory fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, printing and postage, blue sky fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. This voluntary expense reimbursement will continue in effect until terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.20% of average net assets.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $1,632, $692 and $21,148 for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 1.16% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. As of January 31, 2014 there were no amounts eligible for recapture.

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30% for Class A shares distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $52,549 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $8,309 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $43,889 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $351 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended ended January 31, 2014, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost were calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Share Classes and all other retail share classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.

Performance figures assume all distributions are reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 4.50%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I and Class NAV shares. Effective 2-3-14, the maximum Class A sales charges of the fund are being reduced to 2.5%.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. For Class NAV shares, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | Class NAV | |||
Net (%) | 1.21 | 0.90 | 0.75 | ||
Gross (%) | 4.63 | 4.16 | 0.75 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
■ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
■ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable) and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,007.10 | $6.12 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,007.60 | 4.55 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,009.50 | 3.75 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,019.10 | $6.16 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,020.70 | 4.58 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1021.50 | 3.77 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectus for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.21%, 0.90% and 0.74% for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if the creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Investments concentrated in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across sectors. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities involve additional risks as these securities include a higher risk of default and loss of principal. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Currency transactions are impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates, which may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund’s investments. The use of hedging and derivatives transactions could produce disproportionate gains or losses and may increase volatility and costs. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates and subject to early repayment risk, and their value may fluctuate in response to the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness. If the fund invests in illiquid securities, it may be difficult to sell them at a price approximating their value. Loan participations and assignments involve special types of risks, including credit risk, interest-rate risk, counterparty risk, liquidity risk, and the risks of being a lender. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek maximum total return, which consists of income on its investments and capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class NAV shares are sold to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, printing and postage, and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. 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. Futures contracts are valued at settlement prices, which are the official closing prices published by the exchange on which they trade. Swaps are valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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 daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at
42 | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
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 fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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 fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that
Semiannual report | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | 43 |
the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund’s investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.
When-issued/delayed-delivery securities. The fund may purchase or sell debt 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 Fund’s investments or in a schedule to the Fund’s investments (Sale Commitments Outstanding). At the time the fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in the fund’s net asset value. 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 to the fund 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 declines in the value of the securities purchased or increase in the value of securities sold prior to settlement date.
Term loans (Floating rate loans). The fund may invest in term loans, which often include debt securities that are rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. Term loans are generally subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale. The liquidity of term loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a term loan can be more difficult and buying and selling a term loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult and delayed, which could result in a loss.
The fund’s ability to receive payments of principal, interest and other amounts in connection with term loans will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The fund’s failure to receive scheduled payments on a term loan due to a default, bankruptcy or other reason, would adversely affect the fund’s income and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Because many term loans are not 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. The fund may have limited rights to enforce the terms of an underlying loan.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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
44 | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $353. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Semiannual report | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | 45 |
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to foreign currency transactions, derivative transactions and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts and swaps are typically traded through the OTC market. Certain forwards, options and swaps are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) as swaps. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
46 | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying Fund’s investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Cash segregated at custodian for swap contracts. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Futures are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.
Cleared swap contracts are subject to clearing house rules, including initial and variation margin requirements, daily settlement of obligations and the clearinghouse guarantee of payments to the broker. There is, however, still counterparty risk due to the potential insolvency of the broker with respect to any margin held in the brokers’ customer accounts. While clearing members are required to segregate customer assets from their own assets, in the event of insolvency, there may be a shortfall in the amount of margin held by the broker for its clients. Collateral or margin requirements for exchange-traded or cleared derivatives are set by the broker or applicable clearinghouse. Margin for exchange-traded and exchange-cleared transactions are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Cash held at broker for futures contracts and Receivable for exchange cleared swaps, respectively. Securities pledged by the fund for exchange-traded and cleared transactions, if any, are listed in the Fund’s investments.
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. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is generally based on a percentage of the contract value; this amount is the initial margin for the trade. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Futures collateral receivable/ payable is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The fund used futures contracts to manage duration of the portfolio. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held futures contracts with total values ranging from approximately $356.3 million to $398.8 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Notional basis refers to the contractual amount agreed upon at inception of open contracts; notional value represents the current value of the open contract.
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
The fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against anticipated changes in currency exchange rates and gain exposure to foreign currency. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held forward foreign currency contracts with USD notional values ranging from approximately $69.1 million to $85.7 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Swaps. Swap agreements are agreements between the fund and counterparty to exchange cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market (OTC swaps) or may be executed on a registered commodities exchange (centrally cleared swaps). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. The value of the swap will typically impose collateral posting obligations on the party that is considered out-of-the-money on the swap.
Upfront payments made/received by the fund are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the unamortized/unaccreted portion included in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. A termination payment by the counterparty or the fund is recorded as realized gain or loss, as well as the net periodic payments received or paid by the fund.
Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk that may amount to values that are in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the swap, or that a counterparty may default on its obligation or delay payment under the swap terms. The counterparty may disagree or contest the terms of the swap. Market risks may also accompany the swap, including interest rate risk. The fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate or assign outstanding swaps or reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.
Credit default swaps. Credit default swaps (CDS) involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium (paid by the Buyer), for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument, referenced entity or index, in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor” (the Seller), receiving the premium and agreeing to contingent payments that are specified within the credit default agreement. The fund may enter into CDS in which it may act as either Buyer or Seller. By acting as the Seller, the fund may incur economic leverage since it would be obligated to pay the Buyer the notional amount of the contract in the event of a default. The amount of loss in such case could be significant, but would typically be reduced by any recovery value on the underlying credit.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used CDS as a Buyer of protection to manage against potential credit events. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held credit default swap contracts with total USD notional amounts ranging from $112.6 million to $117.0 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the credit default swap contracts the fund held as of January 31, 2014 as a Buyer of protection.

Implied credit spreads are utilized in determining the market value of CDS agreements in which the fund is the Seller at period end. The implied credit spread generally represents the yield of the instrument above a credit-risk free rate, such as the U.S. Treasury Bond Yield, and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. It also serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s creditworthiness and an increased risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
For CDS agreements where implied credit spreads are not reported or available, the average credit rating on the underlying index is shown. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s creditworthiness and a greater likelihood of a credit event occurring. This is also represented by a decrease in the average credit rating of the underlying index. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as the Seller could be required to make under any CDS agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement.
The fund used CDS as a Seller of protection during the six months ended January 31, 2014 to take a long exposure to the reference credit indices. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund acted as Seller on credit default swap contracts with total USD notional amounts ranging up to $13.8 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the credit default swap contracts the fund held as of January 31, 2014 where the fund acted as a Seller of protection.

Note 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.740% of the first $250,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets, b) 0.700% of the next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets and c) 0.675% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $750,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses for Class A and Class I shares excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, short dividend expense, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements are such that these expenses will not exceed 1.21% and 0.90% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements will continue in effect until November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse other expenses of the fund excluding advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, blue sky fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, printing and postage, short dividend expense, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.15% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement will continue in effect until terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
52 | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | Semiannual report |
The expense reductions described above amounted to $11,273, $11,567 and $34,508 for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.69% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this agreement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for the fund’s Class A shares.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $37,117 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $5,238 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes and $31,879 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that were acquired through purchases of $1 million or more through February 2, 2014 and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1% sales charge. Effective February 3, 2014, certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchase of $250,000 or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 0.50% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $0 for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including
Semiannual report | Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund | 53 |
payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost was calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014, were:
DISTRIBUTION | TRANSFER | STATE | PRINTING AND | |
CLASS | AND SERVICE FEES | AGENT FEES | REGISTRATION FEES | POSTAGE |
A | $5,964 | $2,720 | $10,418 | $1,429 |
I | — | 689 | 10,418 | 1,542 |
Total | $5,964 | $3,409 | $20,836 | $2,971 |
Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock funds complex.

Performance figures assume all distributions are reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 4.5%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I and Class NAV shares. Effective 2-3-14, the maximum Class A sales charges of the fund are being reduced to 4.0%.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. For Class NAV shares, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | Class NAV | |
Net (%) | 1.35 | 1.04 | 0.90 |
Gross (%) | 7.90 | 16.22 | 0.90 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
■ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
■ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,003.20 | $6.82 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,003.80 | 5.25 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,005.60 | 4.60 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.40 | $6.87 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,020.00 | 5.30 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,020.60 | 4.63 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.35%, 1.04%, and 0.91% for Class A, Class I, and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

2 Cash and cash equivalents not included.
3 Ratings are from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. If not available, we have used Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. In the absence of ratings from these agencies, we have used Fitch Ratings, Inc. “Not Rated” securities are those with no ratings available.
4 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. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. 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. 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. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Loan participations and assignments involve additional risks, including credit, interest-rate, counterparty, liquidity, and lending risk. Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Global Income Fund, formerly Global High Yield Fund, (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Fund II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Effective December 1, 2013, the investment objective of the fund is to seek a high level of current income with capital appreciation as a secondary objective. Prior to December 1, 2013, the investment objective of the fund was to seek maximum total return, which consisted of income on its investments and capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, transfer agent fees, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Effective December 1, 2013, John Hancock Global High Yield Fund changed its name to John Hancock Global Income Fund.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. 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. Foreign securities and currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation
Semiannual report | Global Income Fund | 31 |
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 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 fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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 fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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
32 | Global Income Fund | Semiannual report |
receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
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. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $263. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily
Semiannual report | Global Income Fund | 33 |
at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares dividends daily and pays them monthly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are paid annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to foreign currency transactions, wash sale loss deferrals, post-October loss deferral, characterization of distributions, derivative transactions, and amortization and accretion on debt securities.
Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the OTC market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts are typically traded through the OTC market. Non-deliverable forwards are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) as swaps. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
34 | Global Income Fund | Semiannual report |
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying fund of investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against changes in currency exchange rates. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held forward foreign currency contracts with U.S. dollar notional values ranging from $23.2 million to $35.2 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Note 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.825% of the first $250,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets, b) 0.790% of the
36 | Global Income Fund | Semiannual report |
next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets and c) 0.770% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $750,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Stone Harbor Investment Partners LP. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse operating expenses for Class A and Class I shares, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements are such that these expenses will not exceed 1.35% and 1.04% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively. The current expense limitation agreement expires on November 30, 2014 unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse other expenses of the fund, excluding advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, state registration fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, printing and postage, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.15% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
The expense reductions amounted to $11,674, $10,878 and $16,275 for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the impact of waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.79% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.
The fund did not recapture operating expenses during the period. The fund has amounts eligible for recovery going forward, as follows:
AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNT RECOVERED |
RECOVERY THROUGH | RECOVERY THROUGH | RECOVERY THROUGH | RECOVERY THROUGH | DURING THE PERIOD |
JULY 1, 2014 | JULY 1, 2015 | JULY 1, 2016 | JANUARY 1, 2017 | ENDED 1-31-14 |
— | — | $15,223 | $22,516 | — |
Semiannual report | Global Income Fund | 37 |
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund pays 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $14,868 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $1,976 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $12,892 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $0 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost was calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Shares Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 3.00%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I, Class R6, and Class NAV shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-15 for Class R6 shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. For all other classes, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | Class R6 | Class NAV | ||||||
Net (%) | 1.53 | 1.16 | 0.92 | 0.92 | |||||
Gross (%) | 1.53 | 1.16 | 1.53 | 0.92 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,021.90 | $7.24 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,023.60 | 5.56 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,023.50 | 5.36 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,024.40 | 4.64 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.00 | $7.22 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,019.70 | 5.55 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,019.90 | 5.35 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,020.60 | 4.63 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.42%, 1.09%, 1.05%, and 0.91% for Class A, Class I, Class R6, and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Absolute Return Currency Fund, formerly Currency Strategies Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). Effective January 3, 2014, the investment objective of the fund is to achieve absolute return from investments in currency markets. Prior to January 3, 2014, the fund’s investment objective was to seek to achieve total return from investments in currency markets.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R6 shares are available only to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Effective January 3, 2014, John Hancock Currency Strategies Fund changed its name to John Hancock Absolute Return Currency Fund.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Investments by the fund in other open-end management investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. 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. Foreign securities and currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. 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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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.
Semiannual report | Absolute Return Currency Fund | 19 |
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
As of January 31, 2014, all investments are categorized as Level 2 under the hierarchy described above, except for money market funds, which are categorized as Level 1.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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 the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is
20 | Absolute Return Currency Fund | Semiannual report |
reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $355. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to net operating losses and derivative transactions.
Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objectives. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or
Semiannual report | Absolute Return Currency Fund | 21 |
otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Forward foreign currency contracts are typically traded through the OTC market. Non-deliverable forwards are all regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) as swaps. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the funds’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying Fund’s investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage exposure to currency. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held forward foreign currency contracts with U.S. Dollar notional values ranging from $6.8 billion to $10.9 billion, as measured at each quarter end. Forward currency contracts are presented in a table at the end of the Fund’s investments.

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

Note 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.95% of the first $250,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets, b) 0.90% of the next $250,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets and c) 0.85% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $500,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with First Quadrant, L.P. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses for each share class of the fund excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business, acquired fund fees and short dividend expense. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements are such that these expenses will not exceed 1.60% and 1.05% for Class A and Class R6 shares, respectively. The fee waiver and/or reimbursement will continue in effect until November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and Advisor based upon a determination of that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time. Effective January 1, 2014, for Class R6 shares, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class specific expense of the fund, including transfer agency fees and service fees, blue sky fees, and printing and postage, as applicable, to the extent they exceed 0.00% of average annual net assets. The fee waiver and/or reimbursement will continue in effect until November 30, 2015, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and Advisor based upon a determination of that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive other fund level expenses excluding advisory fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, printing and postage, blue sky fees, taxes,
24 | Absolute Return Currency Fund | Semiannual report |
brokerage commissions, interest expenses, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.15% of the fund’s average annual net assets.
The fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements described above amounted to $1,020, $2,157, $8,203, and $33,429 for Class A, Class I, Class R6, and Class NAV shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate 0.87% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the beginning of the month in which such reimbursements or waivers originally occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates. Certain reimbursements or waivers are not subject to recapture.

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund pays 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $16,003 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $2,959 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, and $13,044 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers.
Semiannual report | Absolute Return Currency Fund | 25 |
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost were calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were:
DISTRIBUTION | TRANSFER | STATE | PRINTING AND | |
CLASS | AND SERVICE FEES | AGENT FEES | REGISTRATION FEES | POSTAGE |
Class A | $52,334 | $24,295 | $10,004 | $1,774 |
Class I | — | 43,194 | 11,112 | 10,578 |
Class R6 | — | 2,307 | 8,602 | 346 |
Total | $52,334 | $69,796 | $29,718 | $12,698 |
Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock funds complex.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 5.00%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | ||||||||
Net (%) | 1.30 | 0.94 | |||||||
Gross (%) | 2.44 | 1.83 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800–225–5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,078.90 | $6.81 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,080.50 | 4.93 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.70 | $6.61 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,025.50 | 4.79 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.30%, and 0.94% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Large company stocks could fall out of favor. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility, and political and social instability. Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and investments focused in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across sectors. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund (the fund), is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, printing and postage, and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. 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. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter market are valued using bid prices. 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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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.
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund | 19 |
Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund’s investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain if amounts are estimable. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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
20 | Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund | Semiannual report |
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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended month January 31, 2014 were $186. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund | 21 |
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3 — 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.725% of the first $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; b) 0.700% of the next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; c) 0.675% of the next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; and d) 0.650% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1,500,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimbursement expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the funds and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
22 | Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund | Semiannual report |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s total operating expense at 1.30% and 0.94% for Class A and Class I, shares respectively, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business, underlying fund expenses, and short dividend expense. The current expense limitation agreement expires on November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive other fund level expenses excluding advisory fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, blue sky fees, taxes, printing and postage, brokerage commissions, interest expense, acquired fund fees, short dividend expense, and litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.20% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $15,571 and $38,951 for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursement described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net effective rate of 0.33% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.
AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNT RECOVERED |

$22,880 | $160,314 | $112,320 | $53,702 | — |
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014, amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $14,659 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $2,405 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $12,232 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers, and $22 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Core Fund | 23 |
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $0 for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost was calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Share Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were:
DISTRIBUTION | TRANSFER | STATE | PRINTING AND | |
CLASS | AND SERVICE FEES | AGENT FEES | REGISTRATION FEES | POSTAGE |

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 5.00%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I and Class NAV shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. For Class NAV shares, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | Class NAV | |||||||
Net (%) | 1.30 | 0.94 | 0.70 | ||||||
Gross (%) | 1.51 | 1.12 | 0.70 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800–225–5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,053.60 | $6.73 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,054.50 | 4.87 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,056.20 | 3.52 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended on 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.70 | $6.61 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,020.50 | 4.79 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,021.80 | 3.47 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.30%, 0.94%, and 0.68% for Class A, Class I, and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Large company stocks could fall out of favor. Value stocks may decline in price. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and investments focused in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across sectors. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, printing and postage, and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. 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. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter market are valued using bid prices. 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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund | 19 |
securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund’s investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. Assets, including investments and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases
20 | Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund | Semiannual report |
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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement(s) of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $316. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund | 21 |
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period.
Note 3 — 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.70% of the first $500,000,000 of the fund’s aggregate average daily net assets together with the assets of Fundamental Large Cap Value Trust, a series of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (combined aggregate average daily net assets); b) 0.65% of the next $500,000,000 of the combined aggregate average daily net assets; and c) 0.60% of the combined aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the funds and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
22 | Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund | Semiannual report |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the total operating expenses at 1.30% and 0.94% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The current expense limitation agreement expires on November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive other fund level expenses excluding advisory fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, blue sky fees, taxes, printing and postage, brokerage commissions, interest expense, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.20% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $1,982, $8,270 and $29,068 for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively, for the year ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursement described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net effective rate of 0.64% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.
AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNT RECOVERED |

$390 | $28,986 | $17,339 | $9,904 | — |
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund pays 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $22,051 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $3,687 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $18,343 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $21 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Semiannual report | Fundamental Large Cap Value Fund | 23 |
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $0 for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost was calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Share Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were:
DISTRIBUTION | TRANSFER | STATE REGISTRATION | PRINTING AND | |
CLASS | AND SERVICE FEES | AGENT FEES | FEES | POSTAGE |
A | $14,079 | $6,531 | $9,031 | $1,198 |

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 5.00%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | |||||||
Net (%) | 1.30 | 0.94 | ||||||
Gross (%) | 2.77 | 3.22 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800–225–5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable) and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,109.30 | $6.91 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,110.70 | 5.00 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.70 | $6.61 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,020.50 | 4.79 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.30% and 0.94% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Large company stocks could fall out of favor. The stock prices of midsized and small companies can change more frequently and dramatically than those of large companies. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility, and political and social instability. Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and investments focused in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across sectors. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Fundamental All Cap Core Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. 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. 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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $184. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
20 | Fundamental All Cap Core Fund | Semiannual report |
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3 — 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 0.675% of the first $2,500,000,000 of the fund’s aggregate average daily net assets together with the assets of Fundamental All Cap Core Trust, as series of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (combined aggregate average daily net assets); and b) 0.650% of the combined aggregate average daily net assets in excess of $2,500,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
Semiannual report | Fundamental All Cap Core Fund | 21 |
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceed $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that equals or exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the funds and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s total operating expense at 1.30% and 0.94% for Class A and Class I shares, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The current expense limitation agreement expires on November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive other fund level expenses excluding advisory fees, 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, blue sky fees, taxes, printing and postage, brokerage commission, interest expenses, acquired fund fees, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.20% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $34,359 and $16,878 for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the input of the waivers and reimbursement described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net effective rate of 0.00% the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.
AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNTS ELIGIBLE FOR | AMOUNT RECOVERED |

$22,705 | $145,558 | $108,512 | $50,850 | — |
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
22 | Fundamental All Cap Core Fund | Semiannual report |
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund’s shares.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $17,508 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $2,968 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $14,248 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers, and $292 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $0 for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost were calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Classes and all other retail share classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were:
DISTRIBUTION | TRANSFER | STATE | PRINTING AND | |

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
• Transaction costs which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
• Ongoing operating expenses including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about your fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses, and is based on your fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013 with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,024.80 | $7.91 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,025.90 | 6.28 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014 by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:
Example
[ My account value $8,600.00 / $1,000.00 = 8.6 ] x $[ “expenses paid” from table ] = My actual expenses
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare your fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not your fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,017.40 | $7.88 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,019.00 | 6.26 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs, therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.55% and 1.23% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to Financial Statements (unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Diversified Strategies Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long term total return. The fund has a broad investment mandate that permits it to use an extensive range of investment strategies and to invest in a wide spectrum of equity and fixed-income securities, as well as derivative instruments, in pursuing its investment objective and also in shares of underlying investment funds, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs), that invest in a wide range of assets classes.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in underlying affiliated funds and/or other open-end management investment companies are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. 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. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an
24 |
assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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
25 |
portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $190. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
26 |
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Short-term gains from underlying funds are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to amortization and accretion on debt securities.
Note – 3 Derivative Instruments The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an over-the-counter (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.
Forward foreign currency contracts are typically traded through the OTC market. Non-deliverable forwards are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) as swaps. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed. This right to close out and net payments across all transactions traded under the ISDA could result in a reduction of the fund’s risk to a counterparty equal to any amounts payable by the fund, if any.
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying Fund’s investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum
27 |
risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Futures are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member. Securities pledged by the fund for exchange-traded and cleared transactions, if any, are identified in the Fund’s investments.
For financial reporting purposes, the fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements, as defined by the ISDAs, in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA allows an offset of amounts across the various transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty.
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. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is generally based on a percentage of the contract value; this amount is the initial margin for the trade. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Futures collateral receivable/payable is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
The fund used futures contracts to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund, manage against anticipated changes in securities markets and substitute for securities purchased (or to be purchased). During the six months ended January 31, 2014 the fund held futures contracts with total values ranging up to $4,253,127, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
The fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against anticipated changes in currency exchange rates and gain exposure to foreign currency. During the six months ended January 31, 2014 the fund held forward foreign currency contracts with USD notional values ranging up to $6,929,345, as measured at each quarter end.

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

The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion.

The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive fees and/or reimburse certain expenses for each share class of the fund excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, short dividend expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements are such that these expenses will not exceed 1.70% and 1.39% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively. This voluntary arrangement can be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses.
Understanding your fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
• Transaction costs which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
• Ongoing operating expenses including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about your fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses, and is based on your fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,011.00 | $8.57 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,012.40 | 6.90 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,012.50 | 6.34 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:
Example
[ My account value $8,600.00 / $1,000.00 = 8.6 ] x $[ “expenses paid” from table ] = My actual expenses
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find it’s hypothetical Example and you will be able to compare these expenses.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,016.70 | $8.59 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,018.30 | 6.92 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,018.90 | 6.36 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectus for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund's annualized expense ratio of 1.69%, 1.36% and 1.25% for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors. International investing involves special risks such as political, economic and currency risks and differences in accounting standards and financial reporting. Although they are larger and/or more established than many emerging markets, the markets of China function in many ways as emerging markets and carry the high levels of risk associated with emerging markets.

China Emerging Leaders Fund
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock China Emerging Leaders Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to achieve long-term capital appreciation.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, transfer agent fees, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 - Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. 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. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost. 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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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 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 fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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 fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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
15 |
an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. Securities with market values of approximately $3,559,171 at the beginning of the year were transferred from Level 2 to Level 3 during the period because significant observable inputs used in valuations were no longer readily available.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:
Level 2 | Level 3 | |||
Total Market | Level 1 | Significant | Significant | |

The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. Transfers into or out of Level 3 represent the beginning value of any security or instrument where a change in the level has occurred from the beginning to the end of the period, and in all cases were transferred into or out of Level 2. Securities were transferred into Level 3 because of a lack of observable market data which resulted from an absence of market activity for these securities. In addition, securities were transferred from Level 3 since observable market data became available due to the increased market activity of these securities.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Distributions received on securities that represent a return of capital or capital gain are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a
16 |
realized gain if amounts are estimable. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Funds investing in a single country or in a limited geographic region tend to be riskier than funds that invest more broadly. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $234. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
17 |
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to passive foreign investment companies.
Note 3 – Derivative Instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Futures are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member. Securities pledged by the fund for exchange-traded and cleared transactions, if any are identified in the Fund’s investments.
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. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is generally based on a percentage of the contract value; this amount is the initial margin for the trade. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Futures collateral receivable/payable is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used futures contracts to gain exposure to certain securities markets. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held futures contracts
18 |
with notional values up to $6.0 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.
Unrealized | ||||||
Number of | Expiration | Notional | Notional | Appreciation | ||
Open Contracts | Contracts | Position | Date | Basis | Value | (Depreciation) |
H-Shares Index Futures | 94 | Long | Feb 2014 | $5,948,657 | $5,936,899 | ($11,758) |
($11,758) |
Notional basis refers to the contractual amount agreed upon at inception of open contracts; notional value represents the current value of the open contract.
Note 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund‘s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 – Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: a) 1.10% of the first $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets, b) 1.05% of the next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets and c) 1.00% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $1,000,000,000. Prior to December 18, 2013, the Advisor had a subadvisory agreement with Atlantis Investment Management (H.K.), Ltd. Effective December 18, 2013, the Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Dimensional Fund Advisors LP. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse operating expenses for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements are such that the expenses will not exceed 1.70%, 1.37% and 1.26% for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
19 |
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse other expenses of the fund, excluding advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, service fees, transfer agent fees, state registration fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, printing and postage, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of business. The waivers are such that these expenses will not exceed 0.25% of average net assets. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
Accordingly, these expense reductions amounted to $3, $3 and $10,076 for Class A, Class I and Class NAV shares, respectively for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 1.09% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.
Amounts | Amounts | Amounts | Amount | |
Eligible for | Eligible for | Eligible for | Amounts Eligible | recovered |

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted distribution and service plans with respect to Class A pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30% for Class A shares for distribution and service fees, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund’s shares.
Sales charges. Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $0 for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for
20 |
recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost were calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were:
Class | Distribution and | Transfer agent fees | ||
service fees | ||||
A | $135 | $62 | ||
I | — | 53 | ||
Total | $135 | $115 | ||
The fund did not incur printing and postage and state registration fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to each fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock funds complex.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 5.00% and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class C shares. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I, Class R2, Class R6, and Class NAV shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 11-30-14 for Class R2 and Class R6 shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. For all other classes, the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class C | Class I | Class R2 | Class R6 | Class NAV | |
Net (%) | 1.78 | 2.51 | 1.46 | 2.00 | 1.50 | 1.29 |
Gross (%) | 1.78 | 2.51 | 1.46 | 9.14 | 1.52 | 1.29 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800–225–5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or on the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Dollar 1-Month LIBID Average Index — Index 1 — tracks the performance of a synthetic asset paying LIBID (London Interbank Bid Rate) to a stated maturity.
MSCI World Index (gross of foreign withholding taxes on dividends) — Index 2 — is a free float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure equity market performance of developed markets.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would have resulted in lower values.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
▪ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
▪ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,031.70 | $8.81 |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,028.40 | 12.37 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,034.10 | 7.13 |
Class R2 | 1,000.00 | 1,030.80 | 10.24 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,033.90 | 6.92 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,034.40 | 6.51 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,016.50 | $8.74 |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,013.00 | 12.28 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,018.20 | 7.07 |
Class R2 | 1,000.00 | 1,015.10 | 10.16 |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,018.40 | 6.87 |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,018.80 | 6.46 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.72%, 2.42%, 1.39%, 2.00%, 1.35%, and 1.27% for Class A, Class C, Class I, Class R2, Class R6, and Class NAV shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

2 Absolute return funds are not designed to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets. There is no guarantee of a positive return, of the fund achieving its objective, or that volatility-reducing strategies will be successful. The use of hedging and derivatives could produce disproportionate gains or losses and may increase costs. 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 unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term total return.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R2 shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Class R6 shares are available only to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds 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, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. 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. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. 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. Options listed on an exchange are valued at the mean of the most recent bid and ask prices from the exchange where the option was acquired or most likely will be sold. Swaps and unlisted options are valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Futures contracts are valued at settlement prices, which are the official closing prices published by the exchange on which they trade. Foreign index futures that trade in the electronic trading market subsequent to the close of regular trading and have sufficient liquidity will be valued at the last traded price in the electronic trading market as of 4:00 p.m. ET. Foreign securities and currencies, including forward foreign currency contracts, are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter (OTC) market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following
42 | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | Semiannual report |
procedures established 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 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 fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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 fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund’s custodian. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement
Semiannual report | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | 43 |
plus any accrued interest. Collateral for certain tri-party repurchase agreements is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund.
Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, the MRA does not result in an offset of the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund’s investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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 the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit.
44 | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | Semiannual report |
A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the year ended January 31, 2014 were $626. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
Under the Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the fund is permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Capital losses that are carried forward will retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses rather than being considered all short-term as under previous law.
For federal income tax purposes, as of July 31, 2013, the fund has a short-term capital loss carryfoward of $11,524,190 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $8,466,887 available to offset future net realized capital gains, which do not expire.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals, derivative transactions and amortization and accretion on debt securities.

Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an over-the-counter (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.
Forward foreign currency contracts, certain options and certain swaps are typically traded through the OTC market. Non-deliverable forwards, currency options and cash settled currency swaps are all regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC) as swaps. Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.
As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the fund’s custodian and is noted in the accompanying portfolio of investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund’s maximum risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.
Futures, certain options and cleared swaps are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member. At times, a centrally cleared position may be opened to effectively close or partially close another open position. However, for financial reporting purposes, the positions are not offset in the tables presented for these instruments. Securities pledged by the fund for exchange-traded and cleared transactions, if any are identified in the Fund’s investments.
Cleared swap contracts are subject to clearing house rules, including initial and variation margin requirements, daily settlement of obligations and the clearinghouse guarantee of payments to the broker. There is, however, still counterparty risk due to the potential insolvency of the broker with respect to any margin held in the brokers’ customer accounts. While clearing members are required to segregate customer assets from their own assets, in the event of insolvency, there may be a shortfall in the amount of margin held by the broker for its clients. Collateral or margin requirements for exchange-traded or cleared derivatives are set by the broker or applicable

clearinghouse. Margin for exchange-traded and exchange-cleared transactions are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities as Cash held at broker for futures contracts and Cash held at broker for swap contracts, respectively. Securities pledged by the fund for exchange-traded and cleared transactions are listed in the Fund’s investments.
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. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is generally based on a percentage of the contract value; this amount is the initial margin for the trade. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Futures collateral receivable/ payable is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used futures contracts to manage against anticipated changes in securities markets, maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund, and as a substitute for securities purchased. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held futures contracts with notional values ranging from $2.0 billion to $2.4 billion, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Notional basis refers to the contractual amount agreed upon at inception of open contracts; notional value represents the current value of the open contract.
Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, the risk that currency movements will not favor the fund thereby reducing the fund’s total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities.
The market value of a forward foreign currency contract fluctuates with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Forward foreign currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded by the fund as an unrealized gain or loss. Realized gains or losses, equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed, are recorded upon delivery or receipt of the currency or settlement with the counterparty.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against anticipated changes in currency exchange rates, gain exposure to foreign currency and to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held forward foreign currency contracts with U.S. Dollar notional values ranging from $3.3 billion to $3.9 billion, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the contracts held at January 31, 2014.

Options. There are two types of options, put options and call options. Options are traded either over-the-counter 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 instrument 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 instrument at the exercise price. Writing puts and buying calls may increase the fund’s exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Buying puts and writing calls may decrease the fund’s exposure to such changes. Risks related to the use of options include the loss of premiums, 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 Statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, over-the-counter options are subject to the risks of all over-the-counter derivatives contracts.
When the fund purchases an option, the premium paid by the fund is included in the Fund’s investments and subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect current market value. If the purchased option expires, the fund realizes a loss equal to the cost of the option. If the fund exercises a call option, the cost of the securities acquired by exercising the call is increased by the premium paid to buy the call. If the fund exercises a put option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from such sale are decreased by the premium paid. If the fund enters into a closing sale transaction, the fund realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether proceeds from the closing sale are greater or less than the original cost. When the fund writes an option, the premium received is included as a liability and subsequently “marked-to-market” to reflect the current market value of the option written. Premiums received from writing options that expire unexercised are recorded as realized gains. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or are closed are added to or offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option on a security is exercised, the premium received reduces the cost basis of the securities purchased by the fund.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used purchased options to manage duration, manage against anticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate changes, gain exposure to foreign currency and certain securities markets, and to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held purchased options with market values ranging from $44.2 million to $89.5 million, as measured at each quarter end.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund wrote option contracts to manage against anticipated interest rate and currency exchange rate changes, gain exposure to foreign currency and certain securities markets, and to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund.

Swaps. Swap agreements are agreements between the fund and counterparty to exchange cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market (OTC swaps) or may be executed on a registered commodities exchange (centrally cleared swaps). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. The value of the swap will typically impose collateral posting obligations on the party that is considered out-of-the-money on the swap.
Upfront payments made/received by the fund are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the unamortized/unaccreted portion included in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. A termination payment by the counterparty or the fund is recorded as realized gain or loss, as well as the net periodic payments received or paid by the fund.
Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk that may amount to values that are in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the swap, or that a counterparty may default on its obligation or delay payment under the swap terms. The counterparty may disagree or contest the terms of the swap. Market risks may also accompany the swap, including interest rate risk. The fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate or assign outstanding swaps or reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.
Interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps represent an agreement between the fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows based on the difference between two interest rates applied to a notional amount. The payment flows are usually netted against each other, with the difference being paid by one party to the other. The fund settles accrued net interest receivable or payable under the swap contracts at specified, future intervals.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used interest rate swaps to manage duration of the fund, manage against anticipated interest rate changes, and maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held interest rate swaps with total USD notional amounts ranging from $1.1 billion to $5.0 billion, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap contracts held as of January 31, 2014.

Credit default swaps. Credit default swaps (CDS) involve the exchange of a fixed rate premium (paid by the Buyer), for protection against the loss in value of an underlying debt instrument, referenced entity or index, in the event of a defined credit event (such as payment default or bankruptcy). Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a “guarantor” (the Seller), receiving the premium and agreeing to contingent payments that are specified within the credit default agreement. The fund may enter into CDS in which it may act as either Buyer or Seller. By acting as the Seller, the fund may incur economic leverage since it would be obligated to pay the Buyer the notional amount of the contract in the event of a default. The amount of loss in such case could be significant, but would typically be reduced by any recovery value on the underlying credit.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used CDS as a Buyer of protection to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held credit default swap contracts with total USD notional amounts up to approximately $170.0 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the credit default swap contracts the fund held as of January 31, 2014 as a Buyer of protection.

Implied credit spreads are utilized in determining the market value of CDS agreements in which the fund is the Seller at period end. The implied credit spread generally represents the yield of the instrument above a credit-risk free rate, such as the U.S. Treasury Bond Yield, and may include upfront payments required to be made to enter into the agreement. It also serves as an indicator of the current status of the payment/performance risk and represents the likelihood or risk of default for the credit derivative. Wider credit spreads represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s creditworthiness and an increased risk of default or other credit event occurring as defined under the terms of the agreement.
For CDS agreements where implied credit spreads are not reported or available, the average credit rating on the underlying index is shown. Increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap, represent a deterioration of the referenced entity’s creditworthiness and a greater likelihood of a credit event occurring. This is also represented by a decrease in the average credit rating of the underlying index. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that a fund as the Seller could be required to make under any CDS agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement.
The fund used CDS as a Seller of protection during the six months ended January 31, 2014 to take a long position in the exposure of the benchmark credit. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund acted as Seller on credit default swap contracts with total USD notional amounts ranging from $80.0 million to $170.0 million as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the credit default swap contracts the fund held as of January 31, 2014 where the fund acted as a Seller of protection.

Variance Swaps. Variance swap agreements involve two parties agreeing to exchange cash flows based on the measured variance (or square of volatility) of a specified underlying asset. One party agrees to exchange a “fixed rate” or strike price payment for the “floating rate” or realized price variance on the underlying asset with respect to the notional amount. At inception, the strike price is generally chosen such that the fair value of the swap is zero. At the maturity date, a net cash flow is exchanged, where the payoff amount is equivalent to the difference between the realized price

variance of the underlying asset and the strike price multiplied by the notional amount. As a receiver of the realized price variance, the fund would receive the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would owe the payoff amount when the price variance is less than the strike price. As a payer of the realized price variance the fund would owe the payoff amount when the realized price variance of the underlying asset is greater than the strike price and would receive the payoff amount when the variance is less than the strike price.
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used variance swaps to maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund and manage against anticipated changes in securities markets. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund held variance swaps with total USD notional amounts ranging from $2.8 million to $6.9 million, as measured at each quarter end. The following table summarizes the interest rate swap contracts held as of January 31, 2014.

Inflation swaps. In an inflation swap, one party pays a fixed rate on a notional principal amount while the other party pays a floating rate linked to an inflation index on that same notional amount. The party paying the floating rate pays the inflation adjusted rate multiplied by the notional principal amount. If the average inflation rate over the term of the swap is the same as the fixed rate of the swap, the two legs will have the same value and the swap will break even.
60 | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | Semiannual report |
During the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund used inflation swaps to manage inflation duration of the fund, maintain diversity and liquidity of the fund and manage against anticipated changes in inflation.

Note 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management contract with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 1.30% of the first $200,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; (b) 1.25% of the next $300,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; (c) 1.20% of the next $2,500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets provided that if aggregate net assets exceed $500 million, but are less than or equal to $3.0 billion, the 1.20% rate applies retroactively to all assets; and (d) 1.15% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $3.0 billion. If the aggregate net assets of the fund exceed $3.0 billion, the daily management fee paid to the Advisor is equivalent, on an annualized
Semiannual report | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | 63 |
basis, to the sum of: (a) 1.20% of the first $3.0 billion of the fund’s average daily net assets; and (b) 1.15% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $3.0 billion.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and reimburse operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s total operating expenses at 2.00% and 1.50% for Class R2 and Class R6 shares, respectively, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses. The fee waivers and/or reimbursements will continue in effect until November 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
The Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse the fund, in order to limit the fund’s expenses, excluding taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business, advisory fees, acquired fund fees, short dividend expense, Rule 12b-1 fees, transfer agent fees and service fees, state registration fees and printing and postage fees, to 0.20% of the fund’s average daily net asset value, on an annual basis. This voluntary arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund.
Effective January 1, 2014, for Class R6 shares, the Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class specific expense of the fund, including transfer agency fees and service fees, blue sky fees, and printing and postage, as applicable, to the extent they exceed 0.00% of average annual net assets. The fee waiver and/or reimbursement will continue in effect until November 30, 2015, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and Advisor based upon a determination of that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the expense reductions amounted to the following:
EXPENSE | ||
CLASS | REDUCTIONS | |
A | $36,937 | |
C | 5,028 | |

64 | Global Absolute Return Strategies Fund | Semiannual report |
Expense recapture. The Advisor may recapture operating expenses reimbursed or fees waived under previous expense limitation or waiver arrangements for a period of three years following the month in which the reimbursements or waivers occurred to the extent that the fund is below its expense limitation during this period. The table below outlines the amounts recovered during the six months ended January 31, 2014, and the amount of waived or reimbursed expenses subject to potential recovery and the respective expiration dates.

— | $6,712 | $21,180 | $6,799 | $7,974 |
*Amount recovered during the period ended January 31, 2014 is for Class R6.
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted distribution and service plans with respect to Class A, Class C and Class R2 shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to 0.30%, 1.00% and 0.25% for Class A, Class C and Class R2 shares, respectively, for distribution and service fees, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund’s shares. In addition, under a service plan for Class R2 shares, the fund pays for certain other services. The fund may pay up to 0.25% of distribution and service fees under these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund’s shares.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $511,097 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $84,088 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $424,781 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $2,228 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charge on Class A shares of 5%. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. The fee waivers and expense limitations are contractual at least until 1-31-15 for Class A and Class I shares. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class I | ||
Net (%) | 1.35 | 1.10 | |
Gross (%) | 1.91 | 1.53 |
The returns reflect past results and should not be considered indicative of future performance. 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, the fund’s current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For performance data current to the most recent month end, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund’s website at jhinvestments.com.
The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The fund’s performance results reflect any applicable expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

MSCI World ex-USA Growth Index (gross of foreign withholding taxes on dividends) is a free float-adjusted market capitalization weighted index that is designed to measure the equity market performance of developed markets, excluding the United States of America, that have higher than average growth characteristics.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would have resulted in lower values.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
■ Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.
■ Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.
We are going to present only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual expenses/actual returns
This example is intended to provide information about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses and is based on the fund’s actual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,043.10 | $6.95 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,045.20 | 5.67 |
Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at January 31, 2014, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on August 1, 2013, with the same investment held until January 31, 2014. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 8-1-13 | on 1-31-14 | period ended 1-31-141 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,018.10 | $6.76 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,019.70 | 5.10 |
Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs; therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.
1 Expenses are equal to the fund’s annualized expense ratio of 1.35% and 1.10% for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

3 Foreign investing has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility, and political and social instability. Growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, and frequent trading may increase fund transaction costs. Sector investing is subject to greater risks than the market as a whole. Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on the performance of those sectors and investments focused in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversified across sectors. Please see the fund’s prospectuses for additional risks.

Notes to financial statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock International Growth Equity Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation. During the period ended July 31, 2013, the fund changed its fiscal year end from September 30, to July 31.
The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, printing and postage and state registration fees for each class may differ.
The fund is the accounting and performance successor of the Turner International Growth Fund (the Predecessor Fund). At the close of business on January 11, 2013, the fund acquired substantially all the assets and assumed the liabilities of the Predecessor Fund pursuant to an agreement and plan of reorganization, in exchange for Class A and Class I shares of the fund.
Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, 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. Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:
Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time (ET). In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded funds, held by the fund are valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Investment Trust (JHCIT), are valued at their respective net asset values each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars, based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Securities that trade only in the over-the-counter market are valued using bid prices. Certain short-term securities with maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost.
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 fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established 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 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,
20 | International Growth Equity Fund | Semiannual report |
these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the fund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund 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 fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. 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 fund’s own 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 may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.
The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund’s investments as of January 31, 2014, by major security category or type:

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value 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. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of 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. Foreign taxes are provided for based on the fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives cash collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund will invest its collateral in JHCIT, an affiliate of the fund, which has a floating net asset value (NAV) and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment company. JHCIT invests cash received as collateral as part of the securities lending program in short-term money market investments. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCIT with respect to the cash collateral.
If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible to and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCIT.
Although the risk of the loss of the securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. The fund may receive compensation for lending its securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Net income received from JHCIT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.
Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund is shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned.
Foreign currency translation. 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.
22 | International Growth Equity Fund | Semiannual report |
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. Foreign investments are also 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.
Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealized appreciation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent of any overdraft.
In addition, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. that enables them to potentially participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were $188. For the six months ended January 31, 2014, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit.
Expenses. Within the John Hancock funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.
Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, transfer agent fees, state registration fees and printing and postage expenses, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.
Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.
As of July 31, 2013, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.
Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, annually.
, | |
Semiannual report | International Growth Equity Fund | 23 |
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.
Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment companies and wash sale loss deferrals.
Note 3 — 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 fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor or JHA) serves as investment advisor for the fund. Prior to January 1, 2014, John Hancock Investment Management Services, LLC (JHIMS) served as investment advisor for the fund. JHIMS and JHA have identical officers, directors and other personnel, and share common facilities and resources. Terms of the investment management contract with JHA are substantially identical to the former contract with JHIMS. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 0.850% of the first $750,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; (b) 0.800% of the next $500,000,000 of the fund’s average daily net assets; and (c) 0.750% of the fund’s average daily net assets in excess over $1,250,000,000. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Turner Investments, L.P. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). The waiver equals, on an annualized basis, 0.01% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $75 billion but is less than or equal to $125 billion; 0.0125% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $125 billion but is less than or equal to $150 billion; and 0.015% of that portion of the aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios that exceeds $150 billion. 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. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive all or a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund to the extent necessary to maintain the fund’s total operating expenses at 1.35% and 1.10%, for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, excluding certain expenses such as taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense and acquired fund fees and expenses, short dividend expense, litigation and indemnification expenses, and other extraordinary
24 | International Growth Equity Fund | Semiannual report |
expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business. The current expense limitation agreement expires on January 31, 2015, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
Additionally, the Advisor has voluntarily agreed to waive and/or reimburse a portion of its management fee or other expenses of the fund if certain expenses of the fund exceed 0.25% of average net assets. Expenses excluded from this waiver include taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund’s business, advisory fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, transfer agent and service fees, blue sky fees, printing and postage expenses, acquired fund fees and short dividend expense. This voluntary expense reimbursement may be terminated at any time by the Advisor on notice to the fund.
The expense reductions described above amounted to $7,188 and $28,439 for Class A and Class I shares, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.64% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended January 31, 2014 amounted to an annual rate of 0.01% of the fund’s average daily net assets.
Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted a distribution and service plan with respect to Class A shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to the following contractual rates of distribution and service fees under this arrangement, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for Class A shares.
CLASS | RULE 12b-1 FEE | ||
Class A | 0.30% |
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $24,471 for the six months ended January 31, 2014. Of this amount, $4,104 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $20,218 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $149 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the six months ended January 31, 2014, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A shares.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to
Semiannual report | International Growth Equity Fund | 25 |
Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. The Signature Services Cost includes a component of allocated John Hancock corporate overhead for providing transfer agent services to the fund and to all other John Hancock affiliated funds. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to October 1, 2013, Signature Services Cost was calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to four categories of share classes: Institutional Share Classes, Retirement Share Classes, Municipal Bond Shares Classes and all other Retail Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs were allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Class level expenses. Class level expenses for the six months ended January 31, 2014.

Note 6 — Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities, amounted to $21,743,728 and $25,555,709, respectively, for the six months ended January 31, 2014.
Note 7 — Reorganization
At the close of business on January 11, 2013, the fund acquired all assets and liabilities of the Predecessor Fund in exchange for the Class A and Class I shares of the fund. The fund had no assets liabilities or operations prior to the reorganization.
The Agreement provided for (a) the acquisition of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Predecessor Fund in exchange for a representative amount of shares of the fund; (b) the liquidation of the Predecessor Fund; and (c) the distribution to the Predecessor Fund’s shareholders of the fund’s shares. The reorganization was intended to allow the fund to be better positioned to increase asset size and achieve additional economies of scale by increasing sales and spreading fixed expenses over a larger asset base. As a result of the reorganization, the fund is the legal survivor, and the accounting and performance successor to the Predecessor Fund. Investor Class and Institutional Class shares of the Predecessor Fund been redesignated as that of Class A and Class I shares, respectively, of the fund.
Based on the opinion of tax counsel, the reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Predecessor Fund or their shareholders. Thus, the investments were transferred to the fund at the Predecessor Fund’s identified cost. In addition, the expenses of the reorganization were borne by the investment advisors of both the Predecessor Fund and the fund. The effective time of the reorganization occurred immediately after the close of regularly scheduled trading on the NYSE on January 11, 2013. The following outlines the reorganization:
