A message to shareholders

Dear shareholder,

It was a challenging 12 months for fixed-income investors, as both short- and long-term yields rose steadily higher. Inflation fears sparked a sell-off in credit segments of the markets in early 2018. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the benchmark lending rate by a quarter point three times during the period—and once more just after period end—bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 1.75% to 2.00%. The Fed appears to be moving in line with economic data, as its GDP estimate for 2018 rose from 2.00% to 3.00%. It has now hiked rates seven times since it began the current tightening cycle in December 2015, and indicated that more rate increases are likely this year.

While the U.S. economy has been fairly strong, this can lead to higher inflation, a stronger dollar, and tighter monetary policy, which isn't a favorable environment for many interest-rate-sensitive bonds. Those concerns have been reflected in recent market volatility, which is likely representative of the kinds of challenges income investors will continue to face in the back half of the year.

Your best resource in unpredictable markets is your financial advisor, who can help position your portfolio so that it's sufficiently diversified to meet your long-term objectives and to withstand the inevitable turbulence along the way. 

On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investments, I'd like to take this opportunity to welcome new shareholders and to thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you've placed in us.

Sincerely,

Andrew G. Arnott
President and CEO,
John Hancock Investments
Head of Wealth and Asset Management,
United States and Europe

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The fund seeks a high level of current income consistent with prudent investment risk.

AVERAGE ANNUAL TOTAL RETURNS AS OF 5/31/18 (%)

The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index is an unmanaged index of dollar-denominated and non-convertible investment-grade debt issues.

It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Index figures do not reflect expenses or sales charges, which would result in lower returns.

Figures from Morningstar, Inc. include reinvested distributions and do not take into account sales charges. Actual load-adjusted performance is lower.

The past performance shown here reflects reinvested distributions and the beneficial effect of any expense reductions, and does not guarantee future results. Performance of the other share classes will vary based on the difference in the fees and expenses of those classes. Shares will fluctuate in value and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current month-end performance may be lower or higher than the performance cited, and can be found at jhinvestments.com or by calling 800-225-5291.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS OVER THE LAST TWELVE MONTHS

Interest rates rose as economy strengthened

Both short- and longer-term yields rose during the period, in part due to the continued strengthening of the U.S. economy.

The Fed continued to raise interest rates

The U.S. Federal Reserve—with a change at the helm—continued to push to normalize monetary policy, raising the short-term benchmark lending rate and reducing the size of its balance sheet.

The fund outperformed its benchmark

Against this backdrop, credit-sensitive securities outpaced interest-rate-sensitive debt and the fund outperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

PORTFOLIO COMPOSITION AS OF 5/31/18 (%)

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—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Derivatives transactions, such as hedging 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.

Discussion of fund performance

An interview with Portfolio Managers Howard C. Greene, CFA, and Jeffrey N. Given, CFA, John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC

It was a volatile time in the fixed-income markets. What were the main drivers of performance during the 12 months ended May 31, 2018?

In the United States, economic data generally strengthened during the fund's fiscal year. The unemployment rate continued to tick down, wages notched some modest gains, and the stock market continued to rally. Against this backdrop, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) continued to normalize monetary policy, raising rates three times during the reporting period and once more shortly after the period ended. Longer-term rates, while often volatile, trended higher during the period, and the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasuries climbed from 2.21% on May 31, 2017, to 2.83% one year later.

This kind of environment is almost always a challenging one for interest-rate-sensitive securities, and that was indeed the case during this time period, with many segments of the U.S. Treasury market, as well as the fund's benchmark (which measures corporate bonds), posting declines. But it was also a challenging period for so-called risk assets, especially during the past few months. A series of negative headlines, such as potentially higher inflation and threats of a trade war with China, prompted investors to sell out of high-yield bonds (generally those rated BB and lower) and emerging-market debt in January and February.

The market, as of period end, has not fully recovered. While the net result was a difficult year across the fixed-income market, we believe the economy remains on solid ground and that those segments of the market that are more economically sensitive remain attractive looking ahead.

"While the net result was a difficult year across the fixed-income market, we believe the economy remains on solid ground ..."

Speaking of the Fed, Jerome Powell became the next chair in February 2018, taking over from Janet Yellen. What is your outlook for interest rates and monetary policy under Powell?

The early evidence suggests that Powell will seek to continue the data-driven approach the Fed has been pursuing since the financial crisis in 2007-2008. Powell has been a governor on the Fed board since 2012 and has experience navigating the balancing act that is accommodating economic growth on one hand and normalizing policy on the other. As for interest rates, the Fed's own projections appear to call for additional rate increases in the second half of 2018.

QUALITY COMPOSITION AS OF 5/31/18 (%)

"Bouts of volatility seem likely, but we believe the fund is well positioned for such an environment..."

What positions helped the fund's performance versus its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index?

One of the biggest contributors was the fund's underweight position in U.S. Treasuries. With yields rising throughout the period on both ends of the curve, Treasuries underperformed and having limited exposure to that segment of the market helped the fund's relative returns.

The other big contributor was the fund's out-of-benchmark allocation to high-yield debt. The fund held a moderate-sized allocation—19.1% of net assets—in high yield, with a focus on higher-quality securities within that space. Despite the volatility in the high-yield market in 2018, the incremental income and overall performance was a net benefit to the fund, and contributed positively to its relative performance.

The fund's holdings in commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) also aided relative results. In general, the performance of CMBS tends to reflect the overall health of the economy, which, as we mentioned, continued to be quite strong, and our overweight position contributed positively to performance.

What positions detracted from relative performance?

One of the biggest detractors was the fund's allocation to agency debt. Some of the biggest government agencies are the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac), and while their debt is not specifically guaranteed by the U.S. government, the agencies are backed by the financial support of the federal government. This was a very small position for the fund, but our holdings nonetheless underperformed those of the benchmark.

Another detractor was our lack of an allocation to local authority and municipal debt. Many

municipalities over the past decade have issued a small quantity of taxable bonds, which the fund did not own. Again, this was a very small percentage of the benchmark—less than 1%—but those assets performed well during the period and not owning them detracted on a relative basis.

How are you positioning the fund heading into the second half of 2018?

We're taking a fairly conservative stance in general as we head into the second half of the year. While the economy continues to show encouraging signs, we still don't believe now is the time to make big bets on either interest rates or credit. To that end, we continue to take a modestly defensive stance with respect to the fund's duration; however, sector weighting and individual security selection remain our primary strategic emphasis. With that said, the fund holds some floating-rate securities, primarily mortgage-backed securities that hold adjustable-rate loans. These investments should benefit if interest rates continue to move higher, and we believe they provide an element of diversification to the fund.

With regard to credit, we continue to focus on higher-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 interest-rate-sensitive securities, given the incremental yields offered, the current strength of underlying fundamentals, and the upward pressures on interest rates.

As we've said before, however, the reality for investors is that, for the foreseeable future, we are likely to remain in an environment of coupon-driven returns. There are not a lot of opportunities in the market for meaningful price appreciation, and as the Fed continues to normalize monetary policy, individual security selection will become increasingly important. We're currently nine years into the economic expansion cycle, and it would not surprise us if investors, some of whom are growing increasingly wary, react to any negative headlines by selling out of riskier assets. Bouts of volatility seem likely, but we believe the fund is well positioned for such an environment, and that investors' best defense against market turbulence remains a well-diversified portfolio and a focus on the long term.

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. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations in effect until September 30, 2018 and are subject to change. Had the contractual 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 (%)	0.84	1.54	1.54	0.52	0.93	0.78	0.43	0.41
Net (%)	0.84	1.54	1.54	0.52	0.93	0.68	0.43	0.41

Please refer to the most recent prospectus and annual or semiannual report for more information on expenses and any expense limitation arrangements for each class.

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 and other factors, the fund's current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. For current to the most recent month-end performance data, please call 800-225-5291 or visit the fund's website at jhinvestments.com.

The performance table above and the chart on the next page do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. The fund's performance results reflect any applicable fee waivers or expense reductions, without which the expenses would increase and results would have been less favorable.

Your expenses

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

Understanding fund expenses

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:

• Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (varies by share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.

• Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees (if applicable), and other fund expenses.

We are presenting only your ongoing operating expenses here.

Actual expenses/actual returns

The first line of each share class in the table on the following page 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, 2017, with the same investment held until May 31, 2018.

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, 2018, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the "expenses paid" for your share class from the table. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculated as follows:

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line of each share class in the table on the following page 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, 2017, with the same investment held until May 31, 2018. 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.

Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs, therefore, these examples will not help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Notes to financial statements

Note 1 — Organization

John Hancock Bond Fund (the fund) is a 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 by the fund are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C shares are offered to all investors. Class B shares are closed to new investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R2 and Class R4 shares are available only to certain retirement and 529 plans. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. 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. Class B shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Class C shares convert to Class A shares ten years after purchase (certain exclusions may apply). Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

Note 2 — Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (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.

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 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.

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

ANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK BOND FUND       55

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, 2018, by major security category or type:

Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund's custodian, 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.

Term loans (Floating rate loans). The fund 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 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

ANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK BOND FUND       56

default, bankruptcy or other reason would adversely affect the fund's 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 fund and, if the fund's exposure to such investments is substantial, could impair the fund's ability to meet redemptions. Because term loans may not be rated by independent credit rating agencies, a decision to invest in a particular loan could depend exclusively on the subadvisor's credit analysis of the borrower and/or term loan agents. There is greater risk that the fund may have limited rights to enforce the terms of an underlying loan than for other types of debt instruments.

At May 31, 2018, the fund had $13,120,000 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 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.

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. 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 the fund's 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 to the portfolio 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.

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. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's 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 fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. Estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes, less any amounts reclaimable.

Line of credit. The fund 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 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.

ANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK BOND FUND       57

Effective June 29, 2017, the fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $750 million unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 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 the 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 Statement of operations. Prior to June 29, 2017, the fund had a similar agreement that enabled it to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. For the year ended May 31, 2018, the fund had no borrowings under either line of credit. Commitment fees for the year ended May 31, 2018 were $27,139.

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. 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, 2018, the fund has a short-term capital loss carryforward of $99,500,555 and a long-term capital loss carryforward of $3,703,447 available to offset future net realized capital gains. These carryforwards do not expire. Due to certain Internal Revenue Code rules, utilization of the capital loss carryforwards may be limited in future years.

As of May 31, 2018, 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 typically distributed annually.

The tax character of distributions for the years ended May 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:

	May 31, 2018	May 31, 2017
Ordinary Income	$388,938,384	$179,357,081

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, 2018, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $7,592,575 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 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 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 and the clearing member.

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 margin receivable / payable is included on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Futures contracts are marked-to-market daily and an appropriate payable or receivable for the change in value (variation margin) and unrealized gain or loss is recorded by the fund. When the contract is closed, the fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.

During the year ended May 31, 2018, the fund used futures contracts to manage duration of the portfolio. The fund held futures contracts with notional values ranging up to $62.2 million as measured at each quarter end. There were no open futures contracts as of May 31, 2018.

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, 2018:

Statement of operations location - net realized gain (loss) on:
Risk	Futures contracts
Interest rate	$191,078

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) 0.450% of the first $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (b) 0.425% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (c) 0.400% of the next $1 billion of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (d) 0.350% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (e) 0.300% of the fund's aggregate daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. Prior to October 1, 2017, the fund had an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund paid 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 aggregate daily net assets, (b) 0.475% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (c) 0.450% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (d) 0.450% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets, (e) 0.400% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate daily net assets; and (f) 0.350% of the fund's aggregate daily net assets in excess of $2.5 billion. Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the fund and certain assets of Income Allocation Fund, a series of John Hancock Funds II, as defined in the advisory agreement. 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 the year ended May 31, 2018, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average net assets. 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.

Prior to October 1, 2017, the Advisor had 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.

Prior to October 1,2017 the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class-specific expenses for Class R6 shares of the fund to the extent they exceeded 0.00% of average net assets.

For the year ended May 31, 2018, the expense reductions amounted to the following:

Class	Expense reduction	Class	Expense reduction
Class A	$377,511	Class R4	$7,745
Class B	3,704	Class R6	428,910
Class C	74,178	Class NAV	487,547
Class I	1,273,869	Total	$2,670,328
Class R2	16,864

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended May 31, 2018 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.31% 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, compliance, 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

ANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK BOND FUND       60

incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the year ended May 31, 2018 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	Rule 12b-1 fee	Service fee
Class A	0.30%	—	Class R2	0.25%	0.25%
Class B	1.00%	—	Class R4	0.25%	0.10%
Class C	1.00%	—

The fund's Distributor has contractually agreed to waive 0.10% of Rule12b-1 fees for Class R4 shares. The current waiver agreement expires on September 30, 2018, 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 $33,234 for Class R4 shares for the year ended May 31, 2018.

Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $2,904,021 for the year ended May 31, 2018. Of this amount, $403,362 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes, $2,434,186 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers and $66,473 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, 2018, CDSCs received by the Distributor amounted to $18,032, $13,584 and $48,661 for Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock Group of Funds has a complex-wide 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.

Affiliates of the fund owned 100% of shares of Class NAV on May 31, 2018. Such concentration of shareholders' capital could have a material effect on the fund if such shareholders redeem from the fund.

Note 7 — Purchase and sale of securities

Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term securities and U.S. Treasury obligations, amounted to $6,488,222,266 and $3,843,176,898, respectively, for the years ended May 31, 2018. Purchases and sales of U.S. Treasury obligations aggregated $4,401,912,542 and $4,247,640,957, respectively, for the year ended May 31, 2018.

Note 8 — Investment by affiliated funds

Certain investors in the fund are affiliated funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. The affiliated funds do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, this investment may represent a significant portion of the fund's net assets. At May 31, 2018, funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex held 16.3% of the fund's net assets. The following funds had an affiliate ownership of 5% or more of the fund's net assets:

Fund	Affiliated concentration
John Hancock Funds II Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio	6.3%

Note 9 — Interfund trading

The fund is permitted to purchase or sell securities from or to certain other affiliated funds, as set forth in Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act, under specified conditions outlined in procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of the Trust. The procedures have been designed to ensure that any purchase or sale of securities by the fund from or to another fund that is or could be considered an affiliate complies with Rule 17a-7 of the 1940 Act. Further, as defined under the procedures, each transaction

ANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK BOND FUND       63

is effected at the current market price. Pursuant to these procedures, for the year ended May 31, 2018, the portfolio engaged in purchases amounting to $64,286,147.

Note 10 — Reorganization

On April 6, 2017, the shareholders of John Hancock Funds II Active Bond Fund (the Acquired Fund) voted to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) which provided for an exchange of shares of the John Hancock Bond Fund (the Acquiring Fund) with a value equal to the net assets transferred.

The Agreement provided for (a) the acquisition of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund with a value equal to the net assets transferred; (b) the liquidation of the Acquired Fund; and (c) the distribution to the Acquired Fund's shareholders of such Acquiring Fund's shares. The reorganization was intended to consolidate the Acquired Fund with a fund with a similar investment objective and achieve economies of scale. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiring Fund is the legal and accounting survivor.

Based on the opinion of tax counsel, the reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Acquired Fund or its shareholders. Thus, the investments were transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Acquired Fund's identified cost. All distributable amounts of net income and realized gains from the Acquired Fund were distributed prior to the reorganization. In addition, the expenses of the reorganization were borne by the Acquired Fund. The effective time of the reorganization occurred immediately after the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on April 21, 2017. The following outlines the reorganization:

Acquiring Fund	Acquired Fund	Net asset value of the Acquired Fund	Appreciation of the Acquired Fund's investment	Shares redeemed by the Acquired Fund	Shares issued by the Acquiring Fund	Acquiring Fund net assets prior to combination	Acquiring Fund total net assets after combination
JHF Bond Fund	JHF II Active Bond Fund	$2,175,087,127	$44,407,828	216,660,147	136,981,830	$7,008,919,409	$9,184,006,536

See Note 6 for capital shares issued in connectionwith the above referenced reorganization.

Note 11 — New accounting pronouncement

In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities, which shortens the premium amortization period for purchased non-contingently callable debt securities. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of ASU 2017-08 to the fund.

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

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the fund's investments, of John Hancock Bond Fund (the "Fund") as of May 31, 2018, the related statement of operations for the year ended May 31, 2018, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended May 31, 2018, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of May 31, 2018, 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 ended May 31, 2018 and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) ("PCAOB") and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2018 by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide 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.

Audit-Related Fees, Tax Fees and All Other Fees:

(g) The aggregate non-audit fees billed by the registrant's principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant and rendered to the registrant's control affiliates for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2018 and 2017 amounted to the following:

Trust	May 31, 2018		May 31, 2017
John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund	$	6,720,078	$	5,976,127
