A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
The past 12 months marked a challenging stretch for all investors, and the fixed-income markets offered no exception. Three themes dominated headlines for the majority of the period and continue to be sources of concern for investors: global growth, commodity prices, and the direction of interest rates. On the economic front, worries about a slowdown in China pushed the United States to center stage as investors increasingly looked to domestic demand to fuel global growth. Energy prices were highly volatile, plummeting in January to multi-year lows before rebounding to finish at more sustainable levels. As for interest rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) finally began in December the long process of normalizing monetary policy by increasing the federal funds rate for the first time in nine years. More rate hikes may be on the horizon, but the United States' position as the one major economy tightening in this environment makes the Fed's job that much more difficult.
Against this backdrop, investors tended to dial down their risk exposure, selling out of equities, high-yield bonds, and emerging markets in favor of the safety of U.S. Treasuries and other less-volatile assets. That trend abruptly reversed course in February, as attractive valuations eventually lured investors back into riskier assets. After period end, the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union set off more volatility as investors turned back to safe-haven assets.
These kinds of market swings can be unsettling. We believe the global economy will continue to make gains, but that periods of heightened volatility could likely persist. At John Hancock Investments, portfolio risk management is a critical part of our role as an asset manager and our dedicated risk team is focused on these issues every day. We continually strive for new ways to analyze potential risks and have liquidity tools in place to meet the needs of our fund shareholders. However, your best resource is your financial advisor, who can help ensure your portfolio is sufficiently diversified to meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable bumps along the way.
On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investments, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for the continued trust you've placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew G. Arnott
President and Chief Executive Officer

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS OVER THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS
The Fed finally began normalizing monetary policy
After seven years of near-zero interest rates, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) began the process of adopting a more neutral stance by increasing the federal funds rate in December 2015.
Global economic weakness and falling energy prices weighed on markets
Markets were subject to heightened volatility as investors traded with a risk-on/risk-off mentality during the period.
The fund gained ground, but trailed its benchmark
The fund posted a positive return for its fiscal year, but trailed its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, due mostly to its limited exposure to U.S. Treasuries, which performed well in this environment.

A note about risks
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if a creditor, grantor, or counterparty is unable or unwilling to make principal, interest, or settlement payments. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities are subject to a higher risk of default. A fund concentrated in one sector or that holds a limited number of securities may fluctuate more than a fund that invests in a wider variety of sectors. Foreign investing has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and may be subject to early repayment and the market's perception of issuer creditworthiness. Liquidity—the extent to which a security may be sold or a derivative position closed without negatively affecting its market value, if at all—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Hedging, derivatives, and other strategic transactions may increase a fund's volatility and could produce disproportionate losses, potentially more than the fund's principal investment. Fund distributions generally depend on income from underlying investments and may vary or cease altogether in the future. Please see the fund's prospectus for additional risks.

The 12 months ended May 31, 2016, represented a challenging period for fixed-income investors. What were some of the key themes driving the market?
There were essentially three themes that drove market performance during the past year: global growth, commodity prices, and interest rates. To begin with rates, all eyes were on the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) in late 2015, which, for several months, had been suggesting a change in its near-zero interest-rate policy was imminent. In fact, the Fed finally did raise short-term interest rates by a quarter of one percent in December 2015, and while there has been much speculation about the timing of the Fed's next move, it has held rates steady since then. The Fed's next opportunities to raise rates coincide with its meetings in July and September.
Oil prices, meanwhile, fell precipitously for the first half of the fund's reporting period, falling from over $60 a barrel in June 2015 to less than $30 a barrel in January. Since then, prices have stabilized, rebounding to nearly $50 by the end of May. Low energy prices have been a particular headwind to the high-yield bond market (generally bonds rated BB and lower), given the large number of smaller energy companies that had been issuing debt to expand operations. Many of these companies appeared unlikely to turn a profit with oil prices below $30 or $40 a barrel, and investors were rightly concerned about a potential spike in defaults in the energy sector of the high-yield market if oil prices remained so depressed. However, that fear spread well beyond the energy sector to all of the high-yield market. Most so-called risk assets—including stocks and, to a lesser degree, investment-grade corporate bonds—saw prices rise and fall in concert with changes in the price of oil. While it's impossible to predict where oil and commodity prices will head next, we believe today's levels are more sustainable than the depressed values we saw earlier in the year. Given that scenario, assets could be driven less by fluctuations in commodity prices looking ahead.
Lastly, concern about the strength of the global economy also fueled the risk-on/risk-off environment during the fund's reporting period. China's economic slowdown in particular has been
QUALITY COMPOSITION AS OF 5/31/16 (%)
What positions were the primary detractors from the fund's performance versus its benchmark, the Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index?
The biggest detractor during the period was the fund's underweight position in U.S. Treasuries. The yield curve—a graphical representation comparing the yields of bonds of varying maturities—generally flattened during the period as short-term rates rose and longer-term rates fell. That drop in longer-term rates benefited investors in long-dated Treasury debt, since rates and prices move in opposite directions. The fund's relative performance was also hampered by a limited exposure to duration, which is a measure of a bond or a portfolio's sensitivity to interest-rate changes. Our belief had been that the risks of higher interest rates outweighed the potential rewards offered through exposure to rate-sensitive securities.
The fund's modest positions in high-yield and emerging-market debt also dragged on returns. Although both segments rallied in the final few months of the fund's fiscal year, overall investors' risk aversion during the period caused these two areas of the market to sell off.
The use of derivatives had a negative impact on the fund's performance. Derivatives were used, in part, to manage the fund's duration, which was at 5.18 years at period end, compared with 5.53 years for its benchmark.
What positions helped relative performance?
We increased the fund's allocations to highly rated corporate debt in the financials sector, and those positions fared relatively well during the past 12 months. A small and gradual uptick in interest rates would likely be beneficial for the profitability of financial companies, so that sector has seen some increased demand in anticipation of higher short-term interest rates.
The fund's holdings in asset-backed securities, which include credit card and automobile financing receivables, also helped overall performance. We have found that the credit risks in this segment of the bond market, against the backdrop of a gradually improving economy, have generally been fairly low, presenting an attractive investment opportunity.
Given the level of uncertainty in the markets, how are you positioning the portfolio for the next several months?
We're continuing to take a fairly conservative stance in general as we head into the second half of 2016. We don't believe now is the time to be making big bets on either interest rates or credit. To that end, we held a modestly defensive stance with respect to the fund's duration. Managing interest-rate exposure isn't a significant part of our overall strategy, however, as individual security selection is our primary emphasis. With that said, the fund holds some floating-rate securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities that hold adjustable rate loans. These investments can benefit if interest rates begin to move higher, and we believe they provide an element of diversification to the fund. With regard to credit, we have been focused on high-quality securities within both the investment-grade space and the high-yield area. While our primary goal is to offer investors a well-diversified portfolio, in general we prefer credit-driven holdings over rate-sensitive securities, given the incremental yields offered and the potential opportunity for some spread tightening.
The reality for investors, however, is that for the foreseeable future, we are likely to be in an environment of coupon-like returns. There are not a lot of opportunities in the market for meaningful price appreciation, and given the headwinds of rising interest rates and sluggish global economic growth, we prefer a more conservative tilt to the portfolio. As the Fed continues to navigate normalizing monetary policy, individual security selection will become increasingly important.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Figures reflect maximum sales charges on Class A shares of 4.0% and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B and Class C shares. The returns for Class A shares have been adjusted to reflect the reduction in the maximum sales charge from 4.5% to 4.0%, effective 2-3-14. 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 sold within one year of purchase are subject to a 1% CDSC. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I, Class R2, Class R4, Class R6, and Class NAV shares.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers and/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. Had the fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The expense ratios are as follows:
Class A | Class B | Class C | Class I | Class R2 | Class R4 | Class R6 | Class NAV* | |
Gross (%) | 0.94 | 1.64 | 1.64 | 0.63 | 1.04 | 0.89 | 0.54 | 0.52 |

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
Understanding fund expenses
As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:
• | Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc. |
• | Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses. |
We are presenting 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, 2015, with the same investment held until May 31, 2016.
Account value on 12-1-2015 | Ending value on 5-31-2016 | Expenses paid during period ended 5-31-20161 | Annualized expense ratio | |
Class A | $1,000.00 | $1,026.70 | $4.41 | 0.87% |
Class B | 1,000.00 | 1,023.10 | 7.94 | 1.57% |
Class C | 1,000.00 | 1,022.50 | 7.94 | 1.57% |
Class I | 1,000.00 | 1,028.30 | 2.84 | 0.56% |
Class R2 | 1,000.00 | 1,026.20 | 4.91 | 0.97% |
Class R4 | 1,000.00 | 1,027.70 | 3.45 | 0.68% |
Class R6 | 1,000.00 | 1,028.90 | 2.28 | 0.45% |
Class NAV | 1,000.00 | 1,028.30 | 2.28 | 0.45% |
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, 2016, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the "expenses paid" for your share class from the table above. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
This table allows you to compare the fund's ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of the fund's hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class's actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund's actual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on December 1, 2015, with the same investment held until May 31, 2016. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Account value on 12-1-2015 | Ending value on 5-31-2016 | Expenses paid during period ended 5-31-20161 | Annualized expense ratio | |

Note 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 fund qualifies as an investment company 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 fund:
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 fund's Valuation Policies and Procedures. The time at which shares and transactions are priced and until which orders are accepted may vary to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable regulations.
In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Debt obligations are valued based on the evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor or from broker-dealers. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Equity securities held by the fund are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security was acquired or most likely will be sold. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. 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 fund's Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.
The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities
valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the fund's own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques 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 fund's investments as of May 31, 2016, by major security category or type:
Total value at 5-31-16 | Level 1 quoted price | Level 2 significant observable inputs | Level 3 significant unobservable inputs | |
Corporate bonds | $1,532,257,776 | — | $1,532,257,776 | — |

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund's custodian, or for tri-party repurchase agreements, collateral is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund. 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 Fund's 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 Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay back claims resulting from close-out of the transactions.
Stripped securities. Stripped securities are financial instruments structured to separate principal and interest cash flows so that one class receives principal payments from the underlying 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 security. If the underlying 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 or prepayments on the underlying securities. 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.
Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are
reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except for dividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.
Line of credit. The fund may borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.
The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. (Citibank) as the administrative agent, that enables them to participate in a $750 million unsecured committed line of credit. Prior to June 30, 2015, the fund and other affiliated funds had an agreement with Citibank that enabled them to participate in a $300 million unsecured committed line of credit. A commitment fee, payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund on a pro rata basis and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the year ended May 31, 2016 were $5,756. For the year ended May 31, 2016, the fund had no borrowings under either line of credit.
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 calculated 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. 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, as of May 31, 2016, the fund has a short-term capital loss carryfoward of $7,840,389 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $20,499,932 available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire.
As of May 31, 2016, 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 annually.
The tax character of distributions for the years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015 was as follows:
May 31, 2016 | May 31, 2015 | |||||||
Ordinary Income | $104,623,515 | $94,787,378 |
May 31, 2016 | May 31, 2015 | |||||||
Long-Term Capital Gain | — | 5,705,057 | ||||||
Total | $104,623,515 | $100,492,435 |
Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. As of May 31, 2016, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $1,926,591 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 US GAAP. 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 the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to amortization and accretion on debt securities.
Note 3 — Derivative Instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the OTC (over-the-counter) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.
Futures are traded on an exchange. Exchange-traded transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange.
Futures. A futures contract is a contractual agreement to buy or sell a particular currency or financial instrument at a pre-determined price in the future. Risks related to the use of futures contracts include possible illiquidity of the futures markets, contract prices that can be highly volatile and imperfectly correlated to movements in the underlying financial instrument and potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Use of long futures contracts subjects the fund to the risk of loss up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the fund to unlimited risk of loss.
Upon entering into a futures contract, the fund is required to deposit initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. The amount of required margin is generally based on a percentage of the contract value; this amount is the initial margin for the trade. The margin deposit must then be maintained at the established level over the life of the contract. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
During the year ended May 31, 2016, the fund used futures contracts to manage duration of the fund. The fund held futures contracts with notional values ranging up to $66.4 million as measured at each quarter end. There were no open futures contracts as of May 31, 2016.
Effect of derivative instruments on the Statement of operations
The table below summarizes the net realized gain (loss) included in the net increase (decrease) in net assets from operations, classified by derivative instrument and risk category, for the year ended May 31, 2016:
Risk | Statement of operations location | Futures contracts |
Interest rate | Net realized gain (loss) | $1,791,400 |
Note 4 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.
Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).
Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor, equivalent on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 0.500% of the first $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets, (b) 0.475% of the next $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets, (c) 0.450% of the next $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets, (d) 0.450% of the next $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets, (e) 0.400% of the next $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets; and (f) 0.350% of the fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of MFC and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During year ended May 31, 2016, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average net assets on an annualized basis. This arrangement may be amended or terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the fund and with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive 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 by 0.05% of the fund's average daily net assets. These fee waivers and/or reimbursements expire on September 30, 2016, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class-specific expenses for Class R6 shares of the fund to the extent they exceed 0.00% of average net assets, on an annualized basis attributable to the class. The fee waiver and/or reimbursement expires on September 30, 2016, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.
For the year ended May 31, 2016, these expense reductions described above amounted to the following:
Class | Expense reduction | Class | Expense reduction | |
Class A | $1,024,881 | Class R4 | $92 | |
Class B | 14,057 | Class R6 | 76,435 | |
Class C | 156,890 | Class NAV | 631 | |
Class I | 536,363 | Total | $1,835,535 | |
Class R2 | 26,186 |
Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.
The investment management fees incurred for the year ended May 31, 2016 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.37% of the fund's average daily net assets.
Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the year ended May 31, 2016 amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% 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, Class C, Class R2 and Class R4 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. In addition, under a service plan for Class R2 and Class R4 shares, the fund pays for certain other services. 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 | Rule 12b-1 fee | Service fee |
Class A | 0.30% | — |
Class B | 1.00% | — |
Class C | 1.00% | — |
Class R2 | 0.25% | 0.25% |
Class R4 | 0.25% | 0.10% |
The fund's Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of Rule12b-1 fees for Class R4 shares. The current waiver agreement expires September 30, 2016, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Distributor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at the time. This contractual waiver amounted to $161 for Class R4 shares for the year ended May 31, 2016.
Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $7,107,697 for the year ended May 31, 2016. Of this amount, $1,007,826 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $6,011,560 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $88,311 was paid as sales commissions to sales personnel of Signator Investors, Inc., a broker-dealer affiliate of the Advisor.
Class A, Class B and Class C shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more and are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% sales charge. Class B shares that are redeemed within six years of purchase are subject to CDSCs, at declining rates, beginning at 5.00%. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the year ended May 31, 2016, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $5,388, $63,511 and $68,440 for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.
Transfer agent fees. The fund has a transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares,
Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Trustees and Shareholders of John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund and John Hancock Bond Fund:
In our opinion, the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the fund's 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, 2016, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended 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 audit 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, 2016 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 year/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 year/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.
All audit services, as well as the audit-related and non-audit services that are expected to exceed the amounts stated above, must be approved in advance of provision of the service by formal resolution of the Audit Committee. At the regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, the Committee reviews a report summarizing the services, including fees, provided by the Auditor.

Trust | May 31, 2016 | May 31, 2015 |
John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund | $ 5,647,930 | $ 6,620,316 |
