John Hancock Funds II

Shareholder expense example

As a shareholder of John Hancock Funds II, you incur ongoing costs, such as management fees, distribution (Rule 12b-1) fees and other ex- penses. In the case of Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio and Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio, in addition to the operating expenses which the portfolio bears directly, the portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which the portfolio invests. Because the underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs and the portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. If these indirect expenses were in- cluded, your expenses paid during the period would have been higher.

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (September 1, 2020 through February 28, 2021).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your ac- count value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period ended" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the following table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds. Please re- member 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.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs and insurance-related charges. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)

1. Organization

John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust.

Multi-Index Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Growth Portfolio and Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio (collectively, the Multi-Index Lifestyle Portfolios) operate as "funds of funds," investing in shares of mutual funds (underlying funds). The accounting policies of the underlying funds in which the Multi-Index Lifestyle Portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds' shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds' financial statements. These are available on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov. John Hancock underlying funds' shareholder reports are also available without charge by calling 800-344-1029 or visiting jhinvestments.com. The unaffiliated underlying funds are not covered by this report.

Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds, retirement plans for employees of John Hancock and/or Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain 529 plans. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

2. Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The funds qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of

US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the funds:

Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the funds' Valuation Policies and Procedures.

In order to value the securities, the funds use the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Debt obligations typically are valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mid-price of the last quoted bid and ask prices from the exchange where the option trades. Unlisted options are generally valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Futures contracts whose settlement prices are determined as of the close of the NYSE are typically valued based on the settlement price while other futures contracts are typically valued at the last traded price on the exchange on which they trade. Foreign equity index futures that trade in the electronic trading market subsequent to the close of regular trading may be valued at the last traded price in the electronic trading market as of 4:00 P.M. ET, or may be fair valued based on fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE. Swaps are valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Forward foreign currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward rates which are based on foreign currency exchange spot rates and forward points supplied by an independent pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the funds' 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 scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the funds' Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The funds use fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The funds use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the funds' 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 and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the funds' investments as of February 28, 2021, by major security category or type:

*A weighted average is an average in which each input in the grouping is assigned a weighting before summing to a single average value. The weighting of the input is determined based on a security's fair value as a percentage of the total fair value.

A change to unobservable inputs of the funds' Level 3 securities as of February 28, 2021, could have resulted in changes to the fair value measurement, as follows:

	Impact to Valuation	Impact to Valuation
Significant Unobservable Input	if input had increased	if input had decreased
Adjusted prior/recent transactions or prior/recent transactions	Increase	Decrease
Discount	Decrease	Increase

Repurchase agreements. The funds may enter into repurchase agreements. When the funds enter into a repurchase agreement, they receive collateral that is held in a segregated account by the funds' custodian, or for tri-party repurchase agreements, collateral is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the funds. 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 received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Portfolio of investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.

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, assets and liabilities resulting from repurchase agreements are not offset in the Statements 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 claims resulting from close-out of the transactions.

Real estate investment trusts. The funds may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the funds will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.

When-issued/delayed-delivery securities. The funds may purchase or sell 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 portfolio or in a schedule to the portfolio (Sale Commitments Outstanding). At the time a fund enters into a commitment to purchase or sell a security, the transaction is recorded and the value of the security is reflected in its NAV. The price of such security and the date that the security will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. The value of the security may vary with market fluctuations. No interest accrues 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. As a result, the fund has received the following amount of cash collateral from certain counterparties to these transactions which is recorded as a Payable for collateral on sale commitments and has deposited cash collateral for certain counterparties to these transactions which is recorded as Cash collateral at broker for sale commitments:

Fund	Counterparty	Collateral Paid/ (Received)
Core Bond Fund	JP Morgan	$(10,000)
	Goldman Sachs	$1,540,000
	Morgan Stanley	$2,500,000

Term loans (Floating rate loans). The funds may invest in term loans, which are debt securities and are often rated below investment grade at the time of purchase. Term loans are generally subject to legal or contractual restrictions on resale and generally have longer settlement periods than conventional debt securities. Term loans involve special types of risk, including credit risk, interest-rate risk, counterparty risk, and risk associated with extended settlement. The liquidity of term loans, including the volume and frequency of secondary market trading in such loans, varies significantly over time and among individual loans. During periods of infrequent trading, valuing a term loan can be more difficult and buying and selling a term loan at an acceptable price can be more difficult and delayed, which could result in a loss.

The funds' ability to receive payments of principal, interest and other amounts in connection with term loans will depend primarily on the financial condition of the borrower. The funds' failure to receive scheduled payments on a term loan due to a default, bankruptcy or other reason would adversely affect the funds' income and would likely reduce the value of its assets. Transactions in loan investments typically take a significant amount of time (i.e., seven days or longer) to settle. This could pose a liquidity risk to the funds and, if the funds' exposure to such investments is substantial, it could impair the funds' ability to meet redemptions. Because term loans may not be rated by independent credit rating agencies, a decision to invest in a particular loan

147

Significant accounting policies, continued

could depend exclusively on the subadvisor's credit analysis of the borrower and/or term loan agents. There is greater risk that the funds may have limited rights to enforce the terms of an underlying loan than for other types of debt instruments.

At February 28, 2021, High Yield Fund and Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund had $286,951 and $63,767, respectively, in unfunded loan commitments outstanding.

Inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds are securities that generally have a lower coupon interest rate fixed at issuance but whose principal value is periodically adjusted based on a rate of inflation, such as the Consumer Price Index. Over the life of an inflation-indexed bond, interest is paid on the inflation adjusted principal value as described above. Increases in the principal amount of these securities are recorded as interest income. Decreases in the principal amount of these securities may reduce interest income to the extent of income previously recorded. If these decreases are in excess of income previously recorded, an adjustment to the cost of the security is made.

Mortgage and asset backed securities. The funds may invest in mortgage-related securities, such as mortgage-backed securities, and other asset-backed securities, which are debt obligations that represent interests in pools of mortgages or other income-bearing assets, such as consumer loans or receivables. Such securities often involve risks that are different from the risks associated with investing in other types of debt securities. Mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are subject to changes in the payment patterns of borrowers of the underlying debt. When interest rates fall, borrowers are more likely to refinance or prepay their debt before its stated maturity. This may result in the funds having to reinvest the proceeds in lower yielding securities, effectively reducing the funds' income. Conversely, if interest rates rise and borrowers repay their debt more slowly than expected, the time in which the mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities are paid off could be extended, reducing the funds' cash available for reinvestment in higher yielding securities. The timely payment of principal and interest of certain mortgage-related securities is guaranteed with the full faith and credit of the

U.S. Government. Pools created and guaranteed by non-governmental issuers, including government-sponsored corporations (e.g. FNMA), may be supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, but there can be no assurance that private insurers or guarantors can meet their obligations under the insurance policies or guarantee arrangements. The funds are also subject to risks associated with securities with contractual cash flows including asset-backed and mortgage related securities such as collateralized mortgage obligations, mortgage pass-through securities and commercial mortgage-backed securities. The value, liquidity and related income of these securities are sensitive to changes in economic conditions, including real estate value, pre-payments, delinquencies and/or defaults, and may be adversely affected by shifts in the market's perception of the issuers and changes in interest rates.

Payment-in-kind bonds. The funds may invest in payment-in-kind bonds (PIK Bonds). PIK Bonds allow the issuer, at its option, to make current interest payments on the bonds either in cash or in additional bonds. The market prices of PIK Bonds are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes and thereby tend to be more volatile than securities which pay cash interest periodically. Income on these securities is computed at the contractual rate specified and is added to the principal balance of the bond. This income is required to be distributed to shareholders. Because no cash is received at the time income accrues on these securities, the funds may need to sell other investments to make distributions.

Special purpose acquisition companies. Special purpose acquisition companies (SPACs) are collective investment structures that allow public stock market qualified investors to invest in private equity type transactions (PIPE). SPACs are shell or blank-check companies, that have no operations but go public with the intention of merging with or acquiring a company with the proceeds of the SPAC's initial public offering ("IPO"). The funds may enter into a commitment with a SPAC to purchase PIPE shares if and when the SPAC completes its merger or acquisition; however if the commitment expires, then no shares are purchased. Purchased PIPE shares will be restricted from trading until the registration statement for the shares is declared effective. Upon registration, the shares can be freely sold; however, in certain circumstances, the issuer may have the right to temporarily suspend trading of the shares in the first year after the merger. The securities issued by a SPAC, which are typically traded in the over-the-counter market, may be considered illiquid, more difficult to value, and/or be subject to restrictions on resale. Mid Cap Stock Fund had unfunded commitments outstanding of $20,221,000 to purchase PIPE shares as of February 28, 2021. Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the SPAC commitments is reflected on the Statements of assets and liabilities as Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on unfunded commitments.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Distributions received on securities that represent a tax return of capital and/or capital gain, if any, are recorded as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain, if amounts are estimable. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Return of capital distributions from underlying funds, if any, are treated as a reduction of cost.

Securities lending. The funds may lend their securities to earn additional income. The funds receive collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The funds will invest their cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the funds, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT invests in short-term money market investments. Each fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.

The funds have the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the funds for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.

Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the funds could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. The funds receive compensation for lending their securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the funds is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statements of operations.

In addition, non-cash collateral of approximately $2,450,373, $2,000,538 and $1,213,583 in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged to Mid Value Fund, International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund and Strategic Equity Allocation Fund, respectively. This non-cash collateral is not reflected in the funds' net assets, however could be sold by the securities lending agent in the event of default by the borrower.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. These risks are heightened for investments in emerging markets. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

There may be unexpected restrictions on investments in companies located in certain foreign countries, such as China. For example, on November 12, 2020, the President of the United States signed an Executive Order prohibiting U.S. persons from purchasing or investing in publicly-traded securities of companies identified by the U.S. government as "Communist Chinese military companies." As a result of forced sales of a security, or inability to participate in an investment the manager otherwise believes is attractive, a fund may incur losses.

Trading in certain Chinese securities through Hong Kong Stock Connect or Bond Connect, mutual market access programs that enable foreign investment in the People's Republic of China, is subject to certain restrictions and risks. Securities offered through these programs may lose purchase eligibility and any changes in laws, regulations and policies impacting these programs may affect security prices, which could adversely affect the funds' performance.

Foreign taxes. The funds may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the funds' understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the funds as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.

Overdraft. The funds may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the funds' custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the funds to make properly authorized payments. The funds are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end, if any, are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statements of assets and liabilities.

Line of credit. The funds and other affiliated funds, excluding Core Bond Fund and U.S. High Yield Bond Fund, have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, a fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $850 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. Each participating fund paid an upfront fee in connection with this line of credit agreement, which is charged based on a combination of fixed and asset-based allocations and amortized over 365 days through June 24, 2021.

Core Bond Fund, U.S. High Yield Bond Fund, and other affiliated funds have entered into an unsecured $50 million line of credit agreement with BNP Paribas. Subject to the needs of other affiliated funds, Core Bond Fund and U.S. High Yield Bond Fund can borrow up to the $50 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement.

A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of each line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on a combination of fixed and asset-based allocations and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. For the six months ended February 28, 2021, the funds had no borrowings under the line of credit.

Commitment fees, including upfront fees, for the six months ended February 28, 2021 were as follows:

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are charged daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

Federal income taxes. Each fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

For federal income tax purposes, as of August 31, 2020, certain funds have capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains. The following table details the capital loss carryforwards available as of August 31, 2020:

	No Expiration Date
Fund	Short Term	Long Term
High Yield Fund	$ 3,129,351	$83,696,916
International Strategic Equity Allocation Fund	62,084,083	36,686,610
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	298,646	5,489,575
U.S. High Yield Bond Fund	—	21,369,339

As of August 31, 2020, the funds had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The funds' federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

For federal income tax purposes, the costs of investments owned on February 28, 2021, including short-term investments, were as follows:

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. Core Bond Fund, High Yield Fund, Multi-Index Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio, Multi-Index Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio and U.S. High Yield Bond Fund generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income quarterly. All other funds generally declare and pay dividends from net investment income annually. All funds generally declare and pay capital gain distributions, if any, annually.

Distributions paid by the funds 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 US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the funds' financial statements as a return of capital. Short-term gains from underlying funds are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes. The final determination of tax characteristics of the fund's distribution will occur at the end of the year and will subsequently be reported to shareholders.

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, foreign currency transactions, investments in passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals, characterization of distributions, derivative transactions, amortization and accretion on debt securities and foreign capital gain tax.

3. Derivative instruments

The funds may invest in derivatives in order to meet their investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the funds are exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.

Derivatives which are typically traded through the OTC market are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The funds attempt to reduce their exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of their OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.

As defined by the ISDA, the funds may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the funds, if any, are held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the funds and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the funds, if any, for OTC transactions is held in a segregated account at the funds' custodian and is noted in the accompanying portfolio of investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statements of assets and liabilities. The funds' risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.

Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the funds and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.

Centrally-cleared swap contracts are subject to clearinghouse 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 centrally-cleared derivatives are set by the broker or applicable clearinghouse. Margin for centrally-cleared transactions is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Receivable/Payable for centrally-cleared swaps. Securities pledged by the funds for centrally-cleared transactions, if any, are identified in the Portfolio of 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. Futures are traded on an exchange and cleared through a central clearinghouse. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets and contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the funds to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the funds to unlimited risk of loss.

Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is set by the broker and is generally based on a percentage of the contract value. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Cash that has been pledged by a fund is detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities as Collateral held at broker for futures contracts. Securities pledged by the funds, if any, are identified in the Portfolio of investments. Subsequent payments, referred to as

151

Derivative instruments, continued

variation margin, are made or received by a fund periodically and are based on changes in the market value of open futures contracts. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. Receivable/Payable for futures variation margin is included in the Statements of assets and liabilities. When the contract is closed, a 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 following table details how the funds used futures contracts during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Fund	Reason	USD Notional range
High Yield Fund	To manage duration of the fund.	$19.3 million to $24.7 million
International Strategic Equity Allocation	To manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates, manage against change	$20.0 million to $89.2 million
Fund	in certain securities markets and gain exposure to certain securities markets.
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	To manage against changes in interest rates, gain exposure to certain bond markets and	$5.7 million to $15.4 million
	manage duration of the fund.
Strategic Equity Allocation Fund	To manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates, manage against change	$148.0 million to $332.7 million
	in certain securities markets and gain exposure to certain securities markets.
U.S. Sector Rotation Fund	To gain exposure to certain securities markets and to manage against changes in certain	$31.6 million to $48.9 million
	securities markets.

Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell specific currencies at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currencies on a future date that is specified in the contract. Forwards are typically traded OTC. Risks related to the use of forwards include the possible failure of counterparties to meet the terms of the forward agreement, the failure of the counterparties to timely post collateral if applicable, and the risk that currency movements will not favor the funds thereby reducing the funds' total return, and the potential for losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements 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 following table details how the funds used forward foreign currency contracts during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Fund	Reason	USD Notional range
High Yield Fund	To manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to gain exposure to	$1.8 million to $7.3 million
	foreign currencies.
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	To manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to gain exposure to	$36.4 million to $43.8 million
	foreign currencies.
Strategic Equity Allocation Fund	To manage against changes in foreign currency exchange rates and to gain exposure to	up to $93.6 million
	foreign currencies. At February 28, 2021, there were no open forward foreign currency
	contracts.

Options. There are two types of options, put options and call options. Options are traded either OTC or on an exchange. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy (and the seller the obligation to sell) the underlying 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 funds' exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Buying puts and writing calls may decrease the funds' exposure to such changes. Risks related to the use of options include the loss of premiums, possible illiquidity of the options markets, trading restrictions imposed by an exchange and movements in underlying security values, and for written options, potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statements of assets and liabilities. In addition, OTC options are subject to the risks of all OTC derivatives contracts.

When a fund purchases an option, the premium paid is included in the Portfolio of investments and subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect current market value. If the purchased option expires, a fund realizes a loss equal to the cost of the option. If a 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 a 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 a fund enters into a closing sale transaction, it realizes a gain or loss, depending on whether proceeds from the closing sale are greater or less than the original cost. When a 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 a fund.

The following table details how the funds used purchased options contracts during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of market value amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Swaps. Swap agreements are agreements between the fund and a 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 funds, if any, are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the unamortized/unaccreted portion included in the Statement of assets and liabilities. A termination payment by the counterparty or the funds is recorded as realized gain or loss, as well as the net periodic payments received or paid by the funds.

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk that may provide outcomes 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. In addition to interest rate risk, market risks may also impact the swap. The funds 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 funds settles accrued net interest receivable or payable under the swap contracts at specified, future intervals.

The following table details how the funds used interest rate swaps contracts during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Fund	Reason	USD Notional range
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	To manage against changes in interest rates and to manage duration of the fund.	$2.6 million to $5.2 million

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 funds may enter into CDS in which it may act as either Buyer or Seller. By acting as the Seller, the funds 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.

Credit default swaps — Buyer

The following table details how the funds used credit default swap contracts as a buyer during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Fund	Reason	USD Notional range
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	To manage against potential credit events.	$9.2 million to $10.3 million

Credit default swaps — Seller

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. A deterioration of the referenced entity's creditworthiness would indicate a greater likelihood of a credit event occurring and result in increasing market values, in absolute terms when compared to the notional amount of the swap. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the fund as the Seller could be required to make under any CDS agreement equals the notional amount of the agreement.

The following table details how the funds used credit default swap contracts as a seller during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

Fund	Reason	USD Notional range
High Yield Fund	To gain credit exposure to an issuer or index.	$0.6 million to $1.5 million
Opportunistic Fixed Income Fund	To gain credit exposure to an issuer or index.	$4.2 million to $10.9 million

Total Return Swaps. The funds may enter into total return swap contracts to obtain synthetic exposure to a specific reference asset or index without owning, taking physical custody of, or short selling the underlying assets. Total return swaps are commitments where one party pays a fixed or variable rate premium (the Buyer) in exchange for a market-linked return (the Seller). The Seller pays the total return of a specific reference asset or index and in return receives interest payments from the Buyer. To the extent the total return of the underlying asset or index exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Buyer will receive or make a payment to the Seller. A fund may enter into total return swaps in which it may act as either the Buyer or the Seller. Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk associated with the investment in the underlying reference asset or index. The risk in the case of short total return swap contracts is unlimited based on the potential for unlimited increases in the market value of the underlying reference asset or index.

The following table details how the funds used total return swaps during the six months ended February 28, 2021. In addition, the table summarizes the range of notional contract amounts held by the funds, as measured at each quarter end:

4. Guarantees and indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses.

8. Industry or sector risk

Certain funds generally invest a large percentage of their assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of a fund's assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund's NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors. Financial services companies can be hurt by economic declines, changes in interest rates, and regulatory and market impacts.

9. Investment in affiliated underlying funds

John Hancock Multi-Index Lifestyle Portfolios invest in affiliated underlying funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. The funds do not invest in the affiliated underlying funds for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, the funds' investment may represent a significant portion of each underlying funds' net assets.

13. LIBOR discontinuation risk

LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate) is a measure of the average interest rate at which major global banks can borrow from one another. Following allegations of rate manipulation and concerns regarding its thin liquidity, in July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced that it will stop encouraging banks to provide the quotations needed to sustain LIBOR. As market participants transition away from LIBOR, LIBOR's usefulness may deteriorate. The transition process may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that currently rely on LIBOR to determine interest rates. LIBOR's deterioration may adversely affect the liquidity and/or market value of securities that use LIBOR as a benchmark interest rate.

The ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the administrator of LIBOR, is expected to cease publishing most LIBOR maturities, including some US LIBOR maturities, on December 31, 2021, and the remaining and most liquid US LIBOR maturities on June 30, 2023. It is expected that market participants will transition to the use of alternative reference or benchmark rates before the end of 2021. Regulators have encouraged the development and adoption of alternative rates such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), which is a broad measure of secured overnight US Treasury repo rates, but there is no definitive information regarding the future utilization of any particular replacement rate.

The impact on the transition away from LIBOR referenced financial instruments remains uncertain. It is expected that market participants will amend such financial instruments to include fallback provisions and other measures that contemplate the discontinuation of LIBOR. To facilitate the transition of legacy derivatives contracts referencing LIBOR, the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. launched a protocol to incorporate fallback provisions.

There are obstacles to converting certain longer term securities to a new benchmark or benchmarks and the effectiveness of one versus multiple alternative reference rates has not been determined. Certain proposed replacement rates, such as SOFR, are materially different from LIBOR, and will require changes to the applicable spreads. Furthermore, the risks associated with the conversion from LIBOR may be exacerbated if an orderly transition is not completed in a timely manner.

14. New accounting pronouncement

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an Accounting Standards Update (ASU), ASU 2020-04, which provides optional, temporary relief with respect to the financial reporting of contracts subject to certain types of modifications due to the planned discontinuation of the LIBOR and other IBOR-based reference rates as of the end of 2021. The temporary relief provided by ASU 2020-04 is effective for certain reference rate-related contract modifications that occur during the period March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2020-04 to the financial statements.

15. Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic

The novel COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect fund performance.

16. Other matters

Strategic Equity Allocation Fund and other affiliates have been named as defendants in a lawsuit related to The Jones Group, a fashion company. It is alleged that in 2014, The Jones Group consummated a series of transactions that rendered it insolvent, increased debt, significantly decreased its assets, and distributed more than $1 billion to its shareholders, all to the detriment of the company and its creditors. Equivalent lawsuits have been filed in California, New Jersey, Texas, Illinois and Florida. The total amounts at issue for Strategic Equity Allocation Fund is approximately $178,000.

166

Other matters, continued

On March 30, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a Motion for Transfer of Actions to the District of Massachusetts. The plaintiffs were seeking to consolidate 13 actions in 6 different federal districts against 188 defendants in a Multidistrict Panel in Massachusetts. $550 million is being sought from these 188 defendants. On April 27, 2020, the shareholder defendants filed their response to plaintiffs' Motion to Transfer. On June 2, 2020, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a Transfer Order sending all the cases to the Southern District of New York. Accordingly, the litigation will be governed by Second Circuit precedent.

On June 12, 2020, a Scheduling Order was issued. On June 29, 2020, a global Motion to Dismiss Under the Safe Harbor of Section 546(e) of the Bankruptcy Code was filed by the defendants. On August 27, 2020, the Motion to Dismiss was granted. Following the dismissal, appeals were filed by the plaintiffs.

At this time, the fund cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings. If the proceeding were to be decided in a manner adverse to the fund or if the fund enters into a settlement agreement with the plaintiffs, depending upon the circumstances, the payment of such judgement or settlement could have an adverse effect on the fund's net asset value.

17. Subsequent events

On December 10, 2020, the Board of Trustees approved a plan of liquidation for U.S. High Yield Bond Fund. The fund liquidated on April 16, 2021.
