Performance figures assume all distributions are reinvested. Public offering price (POP) figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 4.5% and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B and Class C shares. The returns for Class C shares have been adjusted to reflect the elimination of the front-end sales charge effective 7-15-04. The Class B shares’ CDSC declines annually between years 1 to 6 according to the following schedule: 5, 4, 3, 3, 2, 1%. No sales charge will be assessed after the sixth year. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC. Sales charges are not applicable for 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. For all classes the net expenses equal the gross expenses. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class B | Class C | Class I | |||||
Net/Gross (%) | 1.14 | 1.84 | 1.84 | 0.63 |
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 1–800–225–5291 or visit the Fund’s Web site at www.jhfunds.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.

Management’s discussion of
Fund performance
By John Hancock Asset Management
(formerly MFC Global Investment Management (U.S.), LLC)1
U.S. bonds posted solid gains for the 12 months ended May 31, 2011, as improving but uneven economic growth and relatively tame inflation figures provided a favorable backdrop for fixed-income securities. The best performers were high-yield corporate bonds and commercial mortgage-backed securities, both of which benefited from better economic conditions and strong investor demand for higher-yielding investments. Investment-grade corporate bonds also posted solid gains, while residential mortgage-backed securities and Treasury bonds lagged.
For the year ended May 31, 2011, John Hancock Bond Fund’s Class A shares posted a total return of 11.78% at net asset value. The Fund outpaced the 6.04% return of its benchmark, the Barclays Capital Government/Credit Bond Index, and the 7.40% average return of the Morningstar, Inc. intermediate-term bond category. The Fund’s outperformance of its benchmark index and Morningstar peer group average resulted largely from its allocations within the bond market. A heavy weighting in corporate bonds, including a meaningful position in high-yield securities, contributed favorably to results, as did security selection in the corporate sector. An overweight position in commercial mortgage-backed securities, combined with underweight positions in residential mortgage-backed securities and Treasury bonds, also proved beneficial. We reduced the Fund’s corporate bond holdings during the past year, taking profits and lowering the Fund portfolio’s overall risk profile. In their place, we added residential mortgage-backed securities, which had similar interest-rate sensitivity but provided better credit quality, higher yields and more attractive valuations. We also increased the Fund’s holdings of securities that would benefit from an eventual rise in interest rates. These securities, which comprised more than 10% of the portfolio by the end of the reporting period, included adjustable-rate and interest-only mortgage-backed securities, bank loans and floating-rate corporate debt. Since we don’t expect sharply higher interest rates in the near term, we have been selective in adding these securities to the portfolio so we do not jeopardize the Fund’s yield.
This commentary reflects the views of the portfolio managers through the end of the Fund’s period discussed in this report. The managers’ statements reflect their own opinions. As such, they are in no way guarantees of future events and are not intended to be used as investment advice or a recommendation regarding any specific security. They are also subject to change at any time as market and other conditions warrant.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
The major risk factors in this Fund’s performance are interest-rate and credit risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall. Generally, an increase in the Fund’s average maturity will make it more sensitive to interest-rate risk. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities involve additional risks as these securities include a higher risk of default and loss of principal. 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.

Your expenses
These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses.
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 December 1, 2010 with the same investment held until May 31, 2011.
Account value | Ending value | Expenses paid during | |
on 12-1-10 | on 5-31-11 | period ended 5-31-111 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,049.10 | $5.36 |
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,045.40 | 8.92 |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,045.40 | 8.92 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,051.20 | 3.22 |
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 May 31, 2011, 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:

Your 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 December 1, 2010, with the same investment held until May 31, 2011. 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 12-1-10 | on 5-31-11 | period ended 5-31-111 | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,019.70 | $5.29 |
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,016.20 | 8.80 |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,016.20 | 8.80 |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,021.80 | 3.18 |
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 1.05%, 1.75%, 1.75% and 0.63% for Class A, Class B, Class C and Class I shares, respectively, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period).

Notes to financial statements
Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Bond Fund (the Fund) is a diversified series of John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund (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 a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk.
The Fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered are detailed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Class A, Class B and Class C 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. Class B shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Effective at the close of business on August 21, 2009, Class R1 shares converted into Class A shares.
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 at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. 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. 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 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, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

Changes in valuation techniques may result in transfers in or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy. During the year ended May 31, 2011, there were no significant transfers in or out of Level 1 or Level 2 assets.
The following is a reconciliation of Level 3 assets for which significant unobservable inputs were used to determine fair value. Transfers in 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.

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 principal securities exchange on which they trade. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, then securities are valued using the last quoted bid or evaluated price. Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing service, which utilizes both dealer-supplied and electronic data processing techniques, taking 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. Investments in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Investment Trust (JHCIT), are valued at their closing net asset values each business day. 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 service. Certain securities and forward foreign currency contracts traded only in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last bid price quoted by brokers making markets in the securities at the close of trading. Certain short-term securities are valued at amortized cost. Other portfolio securities and assets, where 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.
New accounting pronouncement. In May 2011, Accounting Standards Update 2011-04 (ASU 2011-04), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, was issued and is effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. ASU 2011-04 amends Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement. The amendments are the result of the work by the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board to develop common requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with GAAP. Management is currently evaluating the application of ASU 2011-04 and its impact, if any, on the Fund’s financial statements.
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 Portfolio of Investments or in a schedule to the Portfolio of Investments (TBA Sale Commitments Outstanding). At the time that 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 payment 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 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.
Annual report | Bond Fund | 37 |
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 subadviser’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.
At May 31, 2011, the Fund had $5,060,000 in unfunded loan commitments outstanding.
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 is recorded when the Fund becomes aware of the dividends. 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.
Securities lending. The Fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. It receives and maintains cash collateral received 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, and as a result, the Fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCIT. Although risk of the loss of the securities lent is mitigated by holding the collateral, the Fund could experience a delay in recovering its securities and a possible loss of income or value if the borrower fails to return the securities or if collateral investments decline in value. 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. Income received from JHCIT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of Operations.
Stripped securities. Stripped mortgage backed securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives the entire principal from the underlying mortgage assets (PO or principal only), while the other class receives the interest cash flows (IO or interest only). Both PO and IO investments represent an interest in the cash flows of an underlying stripped mortgage backed security. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, the Fund may fail to fully recover its initial investment in an IO security. The market value of these securities can be extremely volatile in response to changes in interest rates. In addition, these securities present additional credit risk such that the Fund may not receive all or part of its principal or interest payments because the borrower or issuer has defaulted on its obligation.
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 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 has a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any Fund property that is not segregated, to the maximum extent permitted by law for any overdraft.
38 | Bond Fund | Annual report |
In addition, effective March 30, 2011, the Fund and other affiliated funds have entered into an agreement with Citibank N.A. which enables them to participate in a $100 million unsecured committed line of credit. Prior to March 30, 2011, the Fund had a similar agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company. 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. For the year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund had no borrowings under the lines of credit.
Expenses. The majority of expenses are directly attributable to an individual 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 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 asset value of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net asset value 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.
For federal income tax purposes, the Fund has a capital loss carryforward of $7,201,777 available to offset future net realized capital gain as of May 31, 2011. Net capital losses of $3,270,239, that are the result of security transactions occurring after October 31, 2010, are treated as occurring on June 1, 2011, the first day of the Fund’s next taxable year. The following table details the capital loss carryforward available as of May 31, 2011:
CAPITAL LOSS CARRYFOWARD EXPIRING AT MAY 31 | |||||||
2015 | 2017 | 2018 | |||||
$5,290,107 | $939,453 | $972,217 |
Under the recently enacted Regulated Investment Company Modernization Act of 2010, the Fund will be permitted to carry forward capital losses incurred in taxable years beginning after December 22, 2010 for an unlimited period. However, any losses incurred during those future taxable years will be required to be utilized prior to the losses incurred in pre-enactment taxable years. As a result of this ordering rule, pre-enactment capital loss carryforwards may be more likely to expire unused. Additionally, post-enactment 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.
As of May 31, 2011, 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 distributed at least annually. The tax character of distributions for the years ended May 31, 2011 and May 31, 2010 was as follows:
MAY 31, 2011 | MAY 31, 2010 | |||||||
Ordinary Income | $55,914,240 | $57,514,209 |
Annual report | Bond Fund | 39 |
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 expenses that may be applied differently to each class. As of May 31, 2011, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis included $1,954,248 of undistributed ordinary income.
Such distributions and distributable earnings, 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. Material distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the Fund’s financial statements as a return of capital.
Capital accounts within 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 and distributions payable.
Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The Fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. The use of derivatives may involve risks different from, or potentially greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities. Specifically, derivatives expose the Fund 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. If the counterparty defaults, the Fund will have contractual remedies, but there is no assurance that the counterparty will meet its contractual obligations or that the Fund will succeed in enforcing them.
Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular commodity, 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 hedged security values and/or interest rates and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities.
Futures contracts are valued at the quoted daily settlement prices established by the exchange on which they trade. 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 contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) is recorded by the Fund.
During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund used futures contracts to manage duration of the portfolio. The following table summarizes the contracts held at May 31, 2011. During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund held futures contracts with absolute notional values ranging from $21.9 million to $23.1 million, as measured at each quarter end.

Forward foreign currency contracts. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to buy and sell a specific currency at a price that is set on the date of the contract. The forward contract calls for delivery of the currency 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, the risk that currency movements will not occur 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 a 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.
During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund used forward foreign currency contracts to manage against anticipated currency exchange rates. The following table summarizes the contracts held at May 31, 2011. During the year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund held forward foreign currency contracts with USD absolute values ranging up to $8.7 million, as measured at each quarter end.

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 remedies 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 would be reduced by any recovery value on the underlying credit.
Swaps are marked-to-market daily based upon values from third party vendors or broker quotations, and the change in value is recorded as unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. The value of the swap will typically implicate collateral posting obligations by the party that is considered out-of-the-money on the swap.
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, 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, or 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.
Annual report | Bond Fund | 41 |
The Fund used CDS as a Seller of protection during the year ended May 31, 2011 to take a long position in the exposure of the benchmark credit. During year ended May 31, 2011, the Fund acted as a Seller on credit default swap contracts with total USD notional amounts ranging up to $5 million, as measured at each quarter end. There were no open credit default swap contracts at May 31, 2011.

Note 4 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Fund’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to 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 Adviser) serves as investment adviser for the Fund. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Adviser, serves as principal underwriter of the Fund. The Adviser and the Distributor are indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The Fund has an investment management contract with the Adviser. Effective July 1, 2011, under the investment management contract, the Fund pays a daily management fee to the Adviser equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 0.500% of the first $500,000,000 of the Fund’s average daily net assets, (b) 0.475% of the next $500,000,000, (c) 0.450% of the next $500,000,000, (d) 0.450% of the next $500,000,000, (e) 0.400% of the next $500,000,000 and (f) 0.350% in excess of $2,500,000,000. Prior to July 1, 2011, under the investment management contract, the Fund paid a daily management fee to the Adviser equivalent, on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 0.50% of the first $1,500,000,000 of the Fund’s average daily net assets, (b) 0.45% of the next $500,000,000, (c) 0.40% of the next $500,000,000 and (d) 0.35% of the Fund’s average daily net assets in excess of $2,500,000,000. The Adviser has a subadvisory agreement with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC (formerly MFC Global Investment Management (U.S.), LLC), an indirectly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Adviser. The Fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The investment management fees incurred for the year ended May 31, 2011 were equivalent to an annual effective rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse or pay operating expenses of the fund in order to reduce the total annual fund operating expenses for Class A, Class B and Class C shares by 0.05% of the fund’s average daily net assets. These fee waivers and/or reimbursements expire on September 30, 2012, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the adviser based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time.
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the Fund reimburses the Adviser for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services of 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
Annual report | Bond Fund | 43 |
share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. The accounting and legal services fees incurred for the year ended May 31, 2011 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 B and Class C 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 these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the Fund’s shares.
CLASS | 12b–1 FEE | |||||||
A | 0.30% | |||||||
B | 1.00% | |||||||
C | 1.00% |
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $1,054,364 for the year ended May 31, 2011. Of this amount, $126,882 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $774,166 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $153,316 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc. (Signator Investors), a broker-dealer affiliate of the Adviser.
Class B and Class C shares are subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Class B shares that are redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to CDSCs, at declining rates, beginning at 5.00% of the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC on the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed.

Transfer agent fees. The Fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services or Transfer Agent), an affiliate of the Adviser. 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 that are comprised of 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 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 are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.
Prior to July 1, 2010, the transfer agent fees were made up of three components:
• The Fund paid a monthly transfer agent fee at an annual rate of 0.015% for all classes, based on each class’s average daily net assets.

• The Fund paid a monthly fee based on an annual rate of $17.50 per shareholder account for all classes.
• In addition, Signature Services was reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

Trustee expenses. The Fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Adviser or its affiliates. These Trustees may, for tax purposes, elect to defer receipt of this compensation under the John Hancock Group of Funds Deferred Compensation Plan (the Plan). Deferred amounts are invested in various John Hancock funds and remain in the funds until distributed in accordance with the Plan. The investment of deferred amounts and the offsetting liability are included within Other receivables and prepaid expenses and Payable to affiliates — Trustees’ fees, respectively, in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

Auditors’ report
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund and
Shareholders of John Hancock Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, and the related statements of operations and of changes in net assets and the financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of John Hancock Bond Fund (the “Fund”) at May 31, 2011, and the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These financial statements and financial highlights (hereafter referred to as “financial statements”) are the responsibility of the Fund’s management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits, which included confirmation of securities at May 31, 2011 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, and the application of alternative auditing procedures where securities purchased confirmations had not been received, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures:
The trust’s Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm (the “Auditor”) relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.
The trust’s Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee’s consideration of audit-related and non-audit services by the Auditor. The policies and procedures require that any audit-related and non-audit service provided by the Auditor and any non-audit service provided by the Auditor to a fund service provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a fund are subject to
approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Audit-related services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $25,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Tax services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $30,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All audit services, as well as the audit-related and non-audit services that are expected to exceed the amounts stated above, must be approved in advance of provision of the service by formal resolution of the Audit Committee.
