Dear Shareholder:

I am writing to ask for your assistance with an important matter involving your investment in one or more John Hancock funds (the “Funds”) which are series of the trusts listed above (the “Trusts”). You are being asked to vote on a proposal regarding the election of the Trustees that oversee the Fund(s) in which you are a shareholder. Enclosed with this letter you will find proxy materials which provide important details on the election of your Fund(s)’ Board of Trustees including instructions on how to cast your vote. I encourage you to please read the attached materials in their entirety and if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at the number outlined at the bottom of this letter.

Election of Trustees

The following summarizes the proposed election of Trustees on which you are being asked to vote. Please note that this proposal is considered a routine item and is not expected to have any material effect on the manner in which any Fund is managed or on its current investment objective.

You are being asked to elect thirteen Trustees as members of the Board of Trustees of each Trust. Currently the funds offered by John Hancock are overseen by two separate Boards of Trustees. The Board of Trustees that oversees your Fund(s) is proposing to combine with the Board overseeing the other John Hancock funds. A consolidation of the oversight of the John Hancock funds under one Board is expected to result in (1) efficiencies in oversight by reducing the number of board meetings held each year, eliminating the need for separate boards to consider and review similar matters, and (2) efficiencies, consistencies, and potential cost savings in the operations of your Fund(s), due to a single board approaching all funds from a unified perspective. A single Board with members from both existing Boards also will preserve the continuity of current Board leadership and institutional history, while benefitting from additional members’ expertise, experiences and insight.

Your Vote Matters!

After careful consideration, each Board has unanimously approved the proposal and recommends that shareholders vote “FOR” its approval, but the final approval requires your vote. No matter how large or small your Fund holdings, your vote is important. After you review the proxy materials, please submit your vote promptly to help us avoid the need for additional mailings.

For your convenience, you may vote one of three ways:

1) via telephone by calling the number listed on your proxy card(s),

2) via mail by returning the enclosed voting card(s) or

3) via the Internet by visiting www.proxyvote.com and entering your control number.

I am confident that the proposed change will help us better serve all of the Funds’ shareholders. If you have questions, please call a John Hancock Funds Customer Service Representative at 1-800-225-5291 Monday-Thursday between 8:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M., Eastern Time and Friday between 8:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M., Eastern Time. I thank you for your time and your prompt vote on these matters.

Sincerely,

Hugh McHaffie

PROXY STATEMENT

SPECIAL JOINT MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD NOVEMBER 15, 2012

INTRODUCTION

This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees of each Trust (each a “Board” and collectively the “Boards” or “Trustees”) of proxies to be used at a Special Joint Meeting of shareholders of the Trusts to be held at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, onNovember 15, 2012 at 2:00 P.M., Eastern Time (the “Meeting”). Pursuant to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Trust (the “Declaration of Trust”), each Board has designated September 6, 2012 as the record date for determining shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting (the “Record Date”). All shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to one vote for each share (and fractional votes for fractional shares) of beneficial interest of Trusts held. This Proxy Statement is first being sent to shareholders on or about September 28, 2012.

Each of the Trusts is an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a mutual fund, registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). The shares of each of the 12 Trusts being offered as of the Record Date were divided into series corresponding to a combined total of 23 portfolios (each a “Fund”). The Funds are named on the cover of this Proxy Statement.

Investment Management. John Hancock Advisers, LLC (“JHA” or the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser for each Trust and each of the Funds. Pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with each Trust, the Adviser is responsible for, among other things, administering the business and affairs of the Funds and selecting, contracting with, compensating and monitoring the performance of the investment subadvisers that manage the investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Funds pursuant to subadvisory agreements with the Adviser. JHA is registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Each of the subadvisers to the Funds is also registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act or is exempt from such registration.

The Distributor.    John Hancock Funds, LLC (the “Distributor”) serves as each Fund’s distributor.

The offices of JHA and the Distributor are located at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, and their ultimate parent entity is Manulife Financial Corporation (“MFC” or “Manulife Financial”), a publicly traded company based in Toronto, Canada. MFC and its subsidiaries operate as “Manulife Financial” in Canada and Asia and primarily as “John Hancock” in the United States.

PROPOSAL 1 — ELECTION OF THIRTEEN NOMINEES AS MEMBERS OF EACH BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE APPLICABLE TRUST

(All Funds)

Shareholders are being asked to elect each of the individuals listed below (the “Nominees”) as a member of the Board of Trustees of their Trust. Each of Hugh McHaffie, John A. Moore, and John G. Vrysen currently serves as a Trustee, but has not been re-nominated for election because he will not serve as a Trustee beyond 2012. Effective as of the date following their last day of service, each Board will consist of thirteen members.

The funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex (as defined below) currently are overseen by two separate groups of trustees comprised of different individuals. One of these groups consists of the Trustees who comprise the boards that oversee the series of the Trusts and John Hancock Funds III as well as ten closed-end funds and the other group consists of trustees who comprise the boards that oversee John Hancock Funds II and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust. Each board, including the Boards of the Trusts, separately has determined that it is in the best interests of each of the respective John Hancock funds that such board oversees to consolidate oversight of the funds by aligning the membership of the Boards with the membership of the other boards so that all funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex are overseen by the same group of trustees. In order to accomplish this, the current Trustees have nominated and proposed for election a slate of candidates that includes trustees from each separate group of trustees and representatives from senior management of Manulife Financial. Four of these candidates currently serve as Trustees of the Trusts and nine candidates do not currently hold such office. The group of current Trustees re-nominated for election consists of William H. Cunningham, Deborah C. Jackson, Steven R. Pruchansky and Gregory A. Russo. The group of trustees newly nominated for election that do not currently serve as Trustees of the Trusts, but do currently serve as trustees of other funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex, consists of Charles L. Bardelis, James R. Boyle, Peter S. Burgess, Grace K. Fey, Theron S. Hoffman, Hassell H. McClellan and James M. Oates. The final two Nominees, Warren A. Thomson and Craig Bromley, currently do not serve as trustees of any of the funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex. As discussed in detail below, Mr. Thomson is a senior executive of Manulife Financial, the parent company of the Funds’ Adviser, and Mr. Bromley heads Manulife Financial’s United States operations and is President of John Hancock Financial Services. If elected, Messrs. Thomson and Bromley, along with Mr. Boyle, will serve as “interested” Trustees on the newly constituted boards.

In evaluating the consolidation of the oversight of the John Hancock funds under a single group of trustees, both groups of trustees considered that the separate boards often review the same or substantially similar policy matters, contractual arrangements and other matters for their respective funds. Each of the John Hancock funds’ boards, including the Boards of the Trusts, concluded that alignment of the boards is expected to result in: (i) efficiencies, consistencies and potential cost savings due to a single group of trustees overseeing all funds in the complex, including potential economies of scale from the spreading out of certain fixed costs over a larger pool of assets, and by eliminating the need for two separate groups of trustees to prepare for and hold separate regular board meetings each quarter to consider and review similar board agenda items; (ii) uniformity in policies and procedures across the John Hancock Fund Complex concerning substantially similar matters; (iii) alignment of board resources in areas such as compliance, regulatory and risk management oversight; and (iv) enhanced oversight of portfolio operations throughout the John Hancock Fund Complex, including fund performance monitoring and fund contract and fee reviews. The boards of the John Hancock funds, including the Boards of the Trusts, concluded that a single group of trustees serving on all boards in the John Hancock Fund Complex and consisting of members of both existing groups of trustees as well as representatives from Manulife Financial’s senior management would preserve the continuity of current board leadership and institutional history, while allowing the Trusts and the Boards to benefit from additional members’ expertise, experiences and insight.

At a meeting held on July 31, 2012, the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee of the Boards considered the proposed slate of Trustee candidates and determined to recommend to the full Boards the election or re-election of the Nominees, as applicable, to the Boards of the Trusts. Acting on that recommendation, the Boards approved those nominations and called a meeting of shareholders to allow shareholders of the Trusts to vote on the election or re-election, as applicable, of the Nominees to the Boards.

2

If elected, any newly elected Trustees will join the Trusts’ Boards on or about December 1, 2012. To further align the boards that oversee the operations of the John Hancock Fund Complex, the other John Hancock fund boards also have nominated for election each of the Nominees below as members of each respective board effective on or about December 1, 2012.

Because the Trusts do not hold regular annual shareholder meetings, each Nominee, if elected, will hold office until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until he or she dies, retires, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.

The persons named as proxies intend, in the absence of contrary instructions, to vote all proxies for the election of the Nominees. If, prior to the Meeting, any Nominee becomes unable to serve for any reason, the persons named as proxies reserve the right to substitute another person or persons of their choice as nominee or nominees. All of the Nominees have consented to being named in this Proxy Statement and to serve if elected. The Trusts know of no reason why any Nominee would be unable or unwilling to serve if elected.

Information Concerning Trustees and Nominees

The business and affairs of each Trust, including those of the relevant Funds, are managed under the direction of each Board. The following table presents certain information regarding the current Trustees, as well as Nominees who are not currently serving as Trustees, including their principal occupations which, unless specific dates are shown, are of at least five years’ duration. In addition, the table includes information concerning other directorships held by each Nominee and Trustee in other registered investment companies or publicly traded companies. Information is listed separately for each Nominee or Trustee who is an “interested person” (as defined in the 1940 Act) of a Trust (collectively, the “Non-Independent Trustees”) and each Nominee or Trustee who is not an interested person of a Trust (collectively, the “Independent Trustees”).

As stated above, the 12 Trusts have a combined total of 23 separate Funds, and each Trustee oversees all of the Funds. In addition to the Funds, the Trustees and Nominees (other than Messrs. Bromley and Thomson) also oversee other funds advised by the Adviser or the Adviser’s affiliates (collectively with the Funds, the “John Hancock Fund Complex”). As of June 30, 2012, the John Hancock Fund Complex consisted of 244 funds (including separate series of series mutual funds): John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (“JHVIT”) (101 funds); John Hancock Funds II (“JHF II”) (97 Funds); John Hancock Funds III (“JHF III”) (13 funds); and 33 other John Hancock funds (including the 23 Funds included in this proxy). Each Nominee’s business address is 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.

Additional Information About the Trustees and Nominees

In addition to the description of each Trustee’s and Nominee’s Principal Occupation(s) and Other Directorships set forth above, the following provides further information about each Nominee’s and Trustee’s specific experience, qualifications, attributes or skills. The information in this section should not be understood to mean that any of the Trustees or Nominees is an “expert” within the meaning of the U.S. federal securities laws.

Although each Board’s Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee has general criteria that guides its choice of candidates to serve on the Board (as discussed below under “—Board Committees”), there are no specific required qualifications for Board membership. In considering nominees, although this Committee does not have a formal policy to consider diversity when identifying candidates for the position of Independent Trustee, as a matter of practice, the Committee considers the overall diversity of the Board with respect to backgrounds, professional experience, education, skill, and viewpoint. In addition, as part of its annual self-evaluation, each Board has an opportunity to consider the diversity of its members, including specifically whether the Board’s members have the right mix of characteristics, experiences and skills. The results of the self-evaluation are considered by this Committee in its decision-making process with respect to candidates for the position of Independent Trustee. Each Board believes that the different perspectives, viewpoints, professional experience, education, and individual qualities of each Nominee and Trustee represent a diversity of experiences and a variety of complementary skills. Each current Trustee has experience as a Trustee of each Trust, and all of the Nominees (other than Messrs. Bromley and Thomson) have experience as trustees of other John Hancock funds. It is the Trustees’ belief that this allows each Board, as a whole, to oversee the business of the applicable Trust in a manner consistent with the best interests of the Trust’s shareholders. When considering potential nominees to fill vacancies on a Board, and as part of its annual self-evaluation, the Board reviews the mix of skills and other relevant experiences of the Trustees.

Duties of Trustees; Board Meetings and Board Committees

Each Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. Under each Trust’s Declaration of Trust, the Trustees are responsible for managing the affairs of that Trust, including the appointment of advisers and subadvisers. Each Trustee has the experience, skills, attributes or qualifications described above (see “—Principal Occupation(s) and Other Directorships During the Past 5 Years” and “—Additional Information About the Trustees and Nominees” above). Each Board appoints officers who assist in managing the day-to-day affairs of the Trusts. Each Board met six times during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011, six times during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012, and seven times during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012. No Trustee attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of: (i) the total number of Board meetings; and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees on which he or she served. The Funds hold joint meetings of the Trustees and all committees.

Each Board has appointed an Independent Trustee as Chairman. The Chairman presides at meetings of the Trustees and may call meetings of a Board and any Board committee whenever he deems it necessary. The Chairman participates in the preparation of the agenda for meetings of the Boards and the identification of information to be presented to each Board with respect to matters to be acted upon by each Board. The Chairman also acts as a liaison with the Trusts’ management, officers, attorneys, and other Trustees generally between meetings. The Chairman may perform such other functions as may be requested by a Board from time to time. Each Board also has designated a Vice Chairman to serve in the absence of the Chairman. Except for any duties specified pursuant to a Trust’s Declaration of Trust or By-laws, or as assigned by a Board, the designation of a Trustee as Chairman or Vice Chairman does not impose on that Trustee any duties, obligations or liability that is greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on any other Trustee, generally. Each Board has designated a number of standing committees as further described below, each of which has a Chairman. Each Board also designates working groups orad hoc committees as it deems appropriate.

The Boards believe that this leadership structure is appropriate because it allows each Board to exercise informed and independent judgment over matters under its purview, and it allocates areas of responsibility among committees or working groups of Trustees and each full Board in a manner that enhances effective oversight. The Boards consider leadership by an Independent Trustee as Chairman to be integral to promoting effective independent oversight of the Trusts’ operations and meaningful representation of the shareholders’ interests, given the number of funds offered by the John Hancock Fund Complex and the amount of assets that these funds represent. The Boards also believe that having a super-majority of Independent Trustees is appropriate and in the best interest of the Trusts’ shareholders. Nevertheless, the Boards also believe that having interested persons serve on the Boards brings corporate and financial viewpoints that are, in the Boards’ view, helpful elements in each Board’s decision-making process. In addition, the Boards believe that, for the relevant periods of service on the Boards, Messrs. Boyle, Bromley, McHaffie, Thomson and Vrysen, each of whom is a senior executive of the Adviser, Manulife Financial (the Adviser’s parent company), or of other affiliates of the Adviser, have provided, or are expected to provide, the Boards with the Adviser’s perspective in managing and sponsoring the Trusts. The leadership structure of the Boards may be changed, at any time and in the discretion of each Board, including in response to changes in circumstances or the characteristics of each Trust.

10

Board Committees

Each Board has six standing committees:   the Audit Committee; the Compliance Committee; the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee; Investment Performance Committee A; Investment Performance Committee B; and the Contracts & Operations Committee. If the Nominees are elected to a Board, the Board will consider whether other committees should be organized after it has reviewed the needs of the relevant Funds. The composition of each committee also will be considered.

The current membership of each committee is set forth below. As Chairman of each Board, Mr. Pruchansky is considered anex officio member of each committee and, therefore, is able to attend and participate in any committee meeting, as appropriate.

Audit	Compliance	Nominating, Governance and Administration	Investment Performance A	Investment Performance B	Contracts & Operations
Dr. Moore Mr. Pruchansky Mr. Russo	Mr. Cunningham Ms. Jackson Mr. Russo	All Independent Trustees	Ms. Jackson Mr. Russo Mr. Vrysen	Mr. Cunningham Mr. McHaffie Dr. Moore	All Independent Trustees

Audit Committee. Each Board has an Audit Committee in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which is comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. All of the members of this Committee are independent, and each member is financially literate with at least one having accounting or financial management expertise. The Boards have adopted a written charter for the Committee. This Committee recommends to the full Board independent registered public accounting firms for a Fund, oversees the work of the independent registered public accounting firm in connection with each Fund’s audit, communicates with the independent registered public accounting firm on a regular basis and provides a forum for the independent registered public accounting firm to report and discuss any matters it deems appropriate at any time. Mr. Russo serves as Chairman of this Committee. This Committee held six meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end, six meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end, and six meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end.

Compliance Committee. The primary role of this Committee is to oversee the activities of the Trusts’ Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”); the implementation and enforcement of the Trusts’ compliance policies and procedures; and compliance with each Trust’s and the Independent Trustees’ Codes of Ethics. Mr. Russo serves as Chairman of this Committee. This Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end, four meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end, and four meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end.

Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee. This Committee is comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. This Committee reviews the activities of the other standing committees and makes the final selection and nomination of candidates to serve as Independent Trustees. The Non-Independent Trustees and the officers of the Trust are nominated and selected by each Board. Mr. Pruchansky serves as Chairman of this Committee. This Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end, three meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end, and three meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end. Each Trust’s Board has adopted a written charter for the Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee. A copy of the charter is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

In reviewing a potential nominee and in evaluating the renomination of current Independent Trustees, this Committee generally will apply the following criteria: (i) the nominee’s reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards; (ii) the nominee’s business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments; (iii) a commitment to understand the Funds and the responsibilities of a trustee of an investment company; (iv) a commitment to regularly attend and participate in meetings of each Board and its committees; (v) the ability to understand potential conflicts of interest involving management of the Funds and to act in the interests of all

11

shareholders; and (vi) the absence of a real or apparent conflict of interest that would impair the nominee’s ability to represent the interests of all the shareholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of an Independent Trustee. This Committee does not necessarily place the same emphasis on each criteria and each nominee may not have each of these qualities. The Independent Trustees seek to achieve a group that reflects a diversity of experiences in respect of industries, professions and other experiences, and that is diversified as to gender and race.

As long as a current Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of this Committee, to satisfy these criteria, each Trust anticipates that the Committee would favor the renomination of a current Independent Trustee rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while this Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as Independent Trustees, the Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on a Board or the Committee determines that the selection of a new or additional Independent Trustee is in the best interests of a Trust. In the event that a vacancy arises or a change in Board membership is determined to be advisable, this Committee will, in addition to any shareholder recommendations, consider candidates identified by other means, including candidates proposed by members of this Committee. This Committee may retain a consultant to assist it in a search for a qualified candidate. The Committee has criteria and principles to guide its Trustee selection process, which are set forth in Annex A to the Committee’s charter.

While this Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Boards of Independent Trustee candidates, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by any source, including fund shareholders, management and Committee members, as it deems appropriate. Any such recommendations from shareholders shall be directed to the Secretary of the relevant Trust at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210-2805. Recommendations from management may be submitted to the Committee Chairman. All recommendations shall include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board members and as specified in the relevant Trust’s By-Laws, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the proposed candidate to stand for election if nominated for a Board and to serve if elected by shareholders. The Committee’s process for identifying and evaluating nominees to serve as Independent Trustees of the Funds is set forth in Annex A to the Committee’s charter.

Investment Performance Committee A. This Committee monitors and analyzes the performance of certain Trusts generally, consults with the Adviser as necessary if a Fund requires special attention, and reviews peer groups and other comparative standards as necessary. Ms. Jackson serves as Chairman of Investment Performance Committee A. This Committee held seven meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end, seven meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end, and eight meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end.

Investment Performance Committee B. This Committee monitors and analyzes the performance of certain Trusts generally, consults with the Adviser as necessary if the Fund requires special attention, and reviews peer groups and other comparative standards as necessary. Mr. Cunningham serves as Chairman of Investment Performance Committee B. This Committee held four meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end and five meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end.

Contracts & Operations Committee. This Committee is comprised of all of the Independent Trustees. This Committee oversees the initiation, operation, and renewal of the various contracts between the Trusts and other entities. These contracts include advisory and subadvisory agreements, custodial and transfer agency agreements and arrangements with other service providers. Dr. Moore serves as Chairman of this Committee. As indicated above, Dr. Moore will not serve as a Trustee beyond 2012. This Committee held three meetings during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 for Funds with that fiscal year end, four meetings during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end, and four meetings during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2012 for Funds with that fiscal year end.

Annually, the Boards evaluate their performance and that of their Committees, including the effectiveness of the Boards’ Committee structure.

12

Risk Oversight

As registered investment companies, the Funds are subject to a variety of risks, including investment risks, financial risks, compliance risks, and operational risks. As part of its overall activities, the Boards oversee the management of the Funds’ risk management structure by various departments of the Adviser, including: Investment Management Services Group (which oversees the Funds’ subadvisers and investment management operations) (“IMS”), Fund Administration, Legal, the Product Group (which oversees new product development and marketplace positioning), and Internal Audit; as well as by the Trusts’ CCO. The responsibility to manage the Funds’ risk management structure on a day-to-day basis is subsumed within the Adviser’s overall investment management responsibilities. The Adviser has its own, independent interest in risk management. In this regard, the Adviser has appointed a Risk and Investment Operations Committee, consisting of senior personnel from each of the Adviser’s functional departments. The Adviser’s risk management program is part of the overall risk management program of John Hancock, the Adviser’s parent company. John Hancock’s Chief Risk Officer supports the Adviser’s risk management program.

While the Adviser has responsibility for identifying and managing the Funds’ exposure to risk on a daily basis, the Boards play an active role in overseeing the processes established to assess, monitor and mitigate that exposure. The Boards, acting through their Committees, have charged the Adviser with (i) identifying events or circumstances, the occurrence of which could have adverse effects on the Funds’ business and/or reputation; (ii) implementing processes and controls to lessen the possibility that such events or circumstances occur or to mitigate the effects of such events or circumstances if they do occur; and (iii) creating and maintaining a system designed to evaluate business and market conditions continuously in order to facilitate the identification and implementation of processes and controls described in (i) and (ii) above. The Boards, directly and indirectly through their Committees, routinely discuss with management the significant risks facing the Funds and review the processes and controls in place to address those risks. The Boards regularly receive materials and information, including in-depth and in-person presentations from third-party experts, with respect to specific areas of risk, and the Boards engage in comprehensive analyses and dialogues regarding those risks. Because the day-to-day operations and activities of the Funds are carried out by or through the Adviser and other service providers, the Boards recognize that it is not possible for them to identify all of the risks that may affect a Fund or to develop processes and controls to eliminate or mitigate their occurrence or effects.

Each Board discharges risk oversight as part of its overall activities, with the assistance of its Investment Performance, Audit, Compliance, and Contracts & Operations Committees. The Committee system facilitates the timely and efficient consideration of matters by the Boards, and facilitates effective oversight of compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and of the Funds’ activities and associated risks. In addressing issues regarding the Funds’ risk management between meetings, appropriate representatives of the Adviser communicate with the Chairman of the Boards, the relevant Committee Chair or the Trusts’ CCO, who is directly accountable to the Boards. As appropriate, the Chairman of the Boards and the Committee Chairs confer among themselves, with the Trusts’ CCO, the Adviser, other service providers, external fund counsel, and counsel to the Independent Trustees, to identify and review risk management issues that may be placed on the full Board’s agenda and/or that of an appropriate Committee for review and discussion with management.

The Audit Committee assists each Board in reviewing with the independent auditors, at various times throughout the year, matters relating to financial reporting matters. In addition, this Committee oversees the process of each Fund’s valuation of its portfolio securities, with day-to-day responsibility for valuation determinations having been delegated to the Funds’ Pricing Committee (comprised of officers of the Trusts).

Investment Performance Committee A and Investment Performance Committee B assist the Boards in overseeing the significant investment policies of the relevant Funds. The Adviser monitors these policies and may recommend changes in connection with the Funds to these Committees in response to subadviser requests or other circumstances. On a quarterly basis, these Committees review reports from IMS and the Product Group regarding the relevant Fund’s investment performance, which include information about investment risks and how they are managed.

The Compliance Committee assists the Boards in overseeing the activities of the Trusts’ CCO with respect to the compliance programs of the Funds, the Adviser, the subadvisers, and certain of the Funds’ other service providers (the Distributor and transfer agent). This Committee and the Boards receive and consider the CCO’s annual written report,

13

which, among other things, summarizes material compliance issues that arose during the previous year and any remedial action taken to address these issues, as well as any material changes to the compliance programs. This Committee and the Boards also receive and consider reports from the Trusts’ CCO throughout the year. As part of its oversight responsibilities, the Boards have approved various compliance policies and procedures.

Each of the above Board Committees meets at least quarterly. Each Committee presents reports to the Boards, which may prompt further discussion of issues concerning the oversight of the Funds’ risk management. The Boards also may discuss particular risks that are not addressed in the Committee process. In addition to the Committee meetings, the Adviser’s Risk and Investment Operations Committee, described above, reports periodically to the full Boards on risk management matters. Finally, John Hancock’s Chief Risk Officer, who as noted above supports the Adviser’s risk management program, at a Board’s request will from time-to-time report on risk management matters.

The Contracts & Operations Committee assists the Boards in overseeing the Adviser’s management of the Funds’ operational risks, particularly as it regards vendor management and the quality of services provided by various service providers. This Committee periodically reviews reports from Fund Administration on these issues and discusses its findings with the applicable Board. Among other things, in its annual review of the Funds’ advisory, subadvisory and distribution agreements, this Committee and the Boards receive and review information provided by the Adviser, the subadvisers and the Distributor relating to their operational capabilities, financial condition and resources.

The Boards also have a Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee that, among other matters, periodically reviews the Boards’ committee structure and the charters of the Boards’ committees, and recommends to the Boards such changes as it deems appropriate. This Committee also coordinates and administers an annual self-evaluation of the Boards that includes a review of its effectiveness in overseeing the number of funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and the effectiveness of their committee structure. A Board may, at any time and in its discretion, change the manner in which it conducts its risk oversight role.

As stated above, the Adviser also has its own independent interest in risk management. In this regard, the Adviser has appointed a Risk and Investment Operations Committee, consisting of senior personnel from each of the Adviser’s functional departments. This Committee reports periodically to the Boards on risk management matters. The Adviser’s risk management program is part of the overall risk management program of John Hancock. John Hancock’s Chief Risk Officer supports the Adviser’s risk management program, and at a Board’s request will report on risk management matters.

* This column reflects the aggregate compensation for each fiscal year end paid to each Trustee from the relevant Trust and from each fund in the John Hancock Fund Complex that such Trustee serves. The aggregate compensation may include overlapping amounts reflected in the compensation tables for other fiscal year ends. For example, the “Compensation for Fiscal Year Ended October 31, 2011” reflects aggregate compensation for each month from November 2010 through October 2011. The “Compensation for Fiscal Year Ended May 31, 2012” reflects aggregate compensation for each month from June 2011 through May 2012. Accordingly, the aggregate compensation paid to each Trustee by the John Hancock Fund Complex from June 2011 through October 2011 is reflected in both compensation table totals.

No Trust has a pension or retirement plan for any of its Trustees or officers. Each Trust participates in the John Hancock Deferred Compensation Plan for Independent Trustees (the “Plan”). Under the Plan, an Independent Trustee may elect to have his or her deferred fees invested in shares of one or more funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex and the amount paid to the Independent Trustees under the Plan will be determined based upon the performance of such investments. Deferral of Trustees’ fees does not obligate a Trust to retain the services of any Trustee or obligate the Trust to pay any particular level of compensation to the Trustee. Under these circumstances, the Trustee is not the legal owner of the underlying shares, but does participate in any positive or negative return on those shares to the same extent as all other shareholders. As of October 31, 2011, March 31, 2012 and May 31, 2012, the value of the aggregate accrued deferred compensation amount from all funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex for Mr. Cunningham was $247,659, $279,091 and $256,343, respectively; for Dr. Moore was $322,934, $351,007 and $326,270, respectively; and for Mr. Pruchansky was $389,739, $423,646 and $389,411, respectively, under the Plan.

As part of the board consolidation, three of the current members of the Boards are not standing for reelection, including Dr. Moore, an Independent Trustee. If this Proposal is approved, Dr. Moore’s term of office will end in advance of his scheduled retirement date of December 31, 2012. In recognition of his service as an independent member of the Boards and contingent upon the approval by shareholders of a new slate of trustees, the Boards have

16

approved an aggregate payment of $18,500 from the funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex. The payment was calculated based on the amount the Trustee would have received from the John Hancock Fund Complex for attending meetings through his scheduled retirement date. The aggregate payment to Dr. Moore by the Trusts will be $9,239 and each Trust will pay apro rata share (based on net assets as of July 31, 2012) of the Trusts’ payment as set forth below.

Nominee and Trustee Ownership of Shares of the Funds

The tables below set forth the dollar range of the value of the shares of each Fund, and the dollar range of the aggregate value of the shares of all funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex overseen or to be overseen by a Nominee or Trustee, owned beneficially by each Nominee or Trustee as of December 31, 2011. The current value of the funds that the participating Nominees or Independent Trustees have selected under the Plan is included in these tables. For purposes of these tables, beneficial ownership is defined to mean a direct or indirect pecuniary interest. In certain cases, the Nominees or Trustees may not own shares of the John Hancock Fund Complex funds directly; rather, they may own shares beneficially through variable insurance contracts. Exact dollar amounts of securities held are not listed in the table. Rather, the ranges are identified according to the following key:

A-$0

B -$1 up to and including $10,000

C -$10,001 up to and including $50,000

D -$50,001 up to and including $100,000

E -$100,001 or more

Legal Proceedings

There are no material pending legal proceedings to which any Nominee, Trustee or affiliated person of such Nominee or Trustee is a party adverse to the Funds or any of their affiliated persons or has a material interest adverse to the Funds or any of their affiliated persons. In addition, there have been no legal proceedings that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any Nominee, Trustee or executive officer of the Trusts within the past ten years.

Required Vote

Trustees are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by holders of shares of each Trust present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

Each Board, including all the Independent Trustees of each Trust, recommends that shareholders of each Trust vote “FOR” the election of all of the Nominees.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”), 125 High Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110, has been selected as the independent registered public accounting firm for each Fund for its current fiscal year and served as such for the prior fiscal year. PwC examines annual financial statements for each Fund, reviews regulatory filings that include those financial statements and provides other audit-related, non-audit, and tax-related services to each Fund. Representatives of PwC are not expected to be present at the Meeting but have been given the opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available should any matter arise requiring their participation.

Audit Fees. These fees represent aggregate fees billed to each Fund for the last two fiscal years (the “Reporting Periods”) for professional services rendered by PwC for the audit of each Fund’s annual financial statements or services that are normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements for those fiscal years.

Audit-Related Fees. These fees represent the aggregate fees billed for the Reporting Periods for assurance and related services by PwC that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit of each Fund’s financial statements and are not reported under “Audit Fees” below. Such fees relate to professional services rendered by PwC for separate audit reports in connection with Rule 17f-2 (under the 1940 Act) security counts and affiliated service provider internal controls review.

Tax Fees.    These fees represent aggregate fees billed for the Reporting Periods for professional services rendered by PwC for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. The tax services provided by PwC relate to the review of each Fund’s income tax returns, excise tax calculations and tax distribution requirements.

All Other Fees. These fees for the Reporting Periods relate to products and services provided by PwC other than those reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees” below.

The SEC’s auditor independence rules require that each Trust’s Audit Committee pre-approve: (a) all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by PwC directly to the Fund; and (b) those permissible non-audit services provided by PwC to the Adviser (not including any subadviser whose role is primarily portfolio management and is sub-contracted with or overseen by another investment adviser) and any entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Adviser that provides ongoing services to the Fund (the “Affiliated Service Providers”), if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the Fund. Each Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures regarding the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services by PwC. The procedures are designed to assure that these services do not impair PwC’s independence. The procedures also require each Audit Committee to pre-approve non-audit services provided by PwC to Manulife Financial (or any subsidiary thereof) where such services provided have a direct impact on the operations or financial reporting of the Fund, as further assurance that such services do not impair PwC’s independence. The procedures follow two different approaches to pre-approving services: (1) proposed services may be pre-approved (“general pre-approval”); or (2) proposed services require specific pre-approval (“specific pre-approval”). Unless a type of service provided by PwC has received general pre-approval, it will require specific pre-approval by the relevant Audit Committee. The procedures describe the audit, audit-related, tax and all other services that have been pre-approved by an Audit Committee. Each Audit Committee annually reviews these services and the amount of fees for each such service that have been pre-approved. Each Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to its chairperson or any other member or members. The procedures identify as prohibited services those services which, if performed by PwC, would result in PwC losing its independence.

22

The following table shows the aggregate non-audit fees billed by PwC for non-audit services rendered to the Funds, the Adviser and the Affiliated Service Providers for each of the fiscal years noted below.

Non-Audit Fees

Fiscal Year End	2012	2011	2010
March 31	$3,100,396	$1,966,988	n/a
May 31	$3,360,750	$1,936,104	n/a
October 31	n/a	$1,763,690	$3,163,979

During the Reporting Periods, PwC billed no fees that an Audit Committee was required to pre-approve pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

Each Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to Affiliated Service Providers that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining PwC’s independence. For the Reporting Periods, there were no non-audit fees billed by PwC for services rendered to the Affiliated Service Providers.

SHAREHOLDERS AND VOTING INFORMATION

Shares of the Funds are offered to the public, including various institutional investors. Only shares of a particular Fund are entitled to vote on matters that affect only the interests of that Fund.

As of the Record Date, the Class NAV shares of the Funds, as applicable, were held principally by other mutual funds in the John Hancock Fund Complex that operate as funds of funds (the “Funds of Funds”). No Fund of Funds exercises any discretion in voting the shares of the underlying Funds that it holds.

For purposes of the 1940 Act, any person who owns “beneficially” more than 25% of any class of the outstanding shares of a Fund is presumed to “control” that class of shares of the Fund. Shares are generally deemed to be beneficially owned by a person who has the power to vote or dispose of the shares. Consequently, an entity that is deemed to have the power to vote or dispose of more than 25% of the shares of any class of shares of a Fund will be presumed to control that class of shares of a Fund. As currently operated, the Funds of Funds have no power to exercise any discretion in voting the shares of underlying Funds, and the power to dispose of the shares resides not with the Funds of Funds or with the Funds but rather with the subadviser to the Fund of Funds as a result of its advisory arrangements. Under these circumstances, the Funds do not view a Fund of Funds as being the beneficial owner of shares of underlying Funds for purposes of the 1940 Act presumption of control.

Information as to the number of shares outstanding for each Fund, and share ownership of each Fund, as of the Record Date or such other recent date as may be indicated, is set forth in Appendix B (“Outstanding Shares and Share Ownership”) to this Proxy Statement.

Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its most recent annual report and semi-annual report to any shareholder upon request. To obtain a report, please contact the relevant Fund by calling 1-800-225-5291 (TDD — 1-800-554-6713) or by writing to the Fund at 601 Congress Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02210, Attn: Secretary. These reports also are available on the Internet at www.jhfunds.com.

Voting Procedures

Valid photo identification may be required to attend the Meeting in person. All valid proxies will be voted in accordance with specifications thereon, or in the absence of specifications, for approval of the proposal.

Revocation of Proxies.    Proxies may be revoked at any time before the Meeting either (i) by a written revocation received by the Secretary of the Trusts, (ii) by a properly executed later-dated proxy received by the Secretary of the Trusts, or (iii) by an in-person vote at the Meeting. Attendance at the Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy. Shareholders may revoke a proxy as often as they wish before the Meeting. Only the latest dated, properly executed proxy card received prior to or at the Meeting will be counted.

Quorum.    Shareholders of record at the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Meeting or any adjournment of the Meeting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of a Trust at the close of business on that date present in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum for the Meeting.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share held and fractional votes for fractional shares held. No shares have cumulative voting rights.

In the event the necessary quorum to transact business or the vote required to approve a proposal is not obtained at the Meeting, the persons named as proxies may propose one or more adjournments of the Meeting with respect to the proposal in accordance with applicable law to permit further solicitation of proxies. Any adjournment of the Meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of a Trust’s shares cast at the Meeting, and any adjournment with respect to the proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the proposal cast at the Meeting. The persons named as proxies will vote for or against any adjournment in their discretion.

24

Abstentions and Broker “Non-Votes.”    Abstentions and broker non-votes (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees as to which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or the persons entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee indicates on the proxy that it does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) are counted as shares entitled to vote at the Meeting in determining whether a quorum is present, but do not count as votes cast with respect to the proposal. Neither abstentions nor broker non-votes have any effect on the outcome of the election.

Cost of Preparation and Distribution of Proxy Materials.    The costs of the preparation of these proxy materials and their distribution will be borne by the Adviser.

Solicitation of Proxies.    In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, proxies may be solicited by telephone, by fax, by e-mail or in person by the Trustees, officers and employees of a Trust; by personnel of the Adviser, its affiliates, or the transfer agent, John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (“Signature Services”); or by broker-dealer firms. Signature Services, together with Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., a third party solicitation firm, has agreed to provide proxy solicitation services to the Funds at a cost of approximately $12,295. The Adviser will pay the costs of preparing, mailing and soliciting proxies, including payments to unaffiliated solicitation firms.

Fund Voting.    Shares of all Funds of each Trust will vote in the aggregate and not separately by Fund or class of shares with respect to the proposal.

Telephone Voting

In addition to soliciting proxies by mail, by fax or in person, the Trusts may also arrange to have votes recorded by telephone by officers and employees of the Trusts or by the personnel of the Adviser, the transfer agent or Signature Services. The telephone voting procedure is designed to verify a shareholder’s identity, to allow a shareholder to authorize the voting of shares in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions and to confirm that the voting instructions have been properly recorded.

A shareholder will be called on a recorded line at the telephone number in a Trust’s account records and will be asked to provide certain identifying information.

The shareholder will then be given an opportunity to authorize proxies to vote his or her shares at the Meeting in accordance with the shareholder’s instructions.

Alternatively, a shareholder may call a Trust’s Voice Response Unit to vote by taking the following steps:

• Read the Proxy Statement and have your proxy card(s) at hand.

• Call the toll-free-number located on your proxy card(s).

• Follow recorded instructions.

With both methods of telephone voting, to ensure that the shareholder’s instructions have been recorded correctly, the shareholder will also receive a confirmation of the voting instructions. If the shareholder decides after voting by telephone to attend the Meeting, the shareholder can revoke the proxy at that time and vote the shares at the Meeting.

Internet Voting

You will also have the opportunity to submit your voting instructions via the Internet by utilizing a program provided through a vendor. Voting via the Internet will not affect your right to vote in person if you decide to attend the Meeting. Do not mail the proxy card(s) if you are voting via the Internet. To vote via the Internet, you will need the “control number” that appears on your proxy card(s). These Internet voting procedures are designed to authenticate shareholder identities, to allow shareholders to give their voting instructions and to confirm that shareholders’ instructions have been recorded properly. If you are voting via the Internet, you should understand that there may be costs associated with electronic access, such as usage charges from Internet access providers and telephone companies, which costs you must bear.

25

To vote via the Internet:

• Read the Proxy Statement and have your proxy card(s) at hand.

• Go to the Web site on the proxy card(s).

• Enter the “control number” found on your proxy card(s).

• Follow the instructions on the Web site. Please call us at 1-800-225-5291 if you have any problems.

• To ensure that your instructions have been recorded correctly, you will receive a confirmation of your voting instructions immediately after your submission and also by e-mail, if chosen.

Shareholders Sharing the Same Address

As permitted by law, only one copy of this Proxy Statement or Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials may be delivered to shareholders residing at the same address, unless such shareholders have notified the applicable Trust of their desire to receive multiple copies of the shareholder reports and other materials that a Trust sends. If you would like to receive an additional copy, please contact the applicable Trust by writing to John Hancock Signature Services, Inc., P.O. Box 55913, Boston, MA 02205-5913, Attn: Michael Heffernan, or by calling 1-800-225-5291. The Trust will then promptly deliver, upon request, a separate copy of this Proxy Statement to any shareholder residing at an address to which only one copy was mailed. Shareholders wishing to receive separate copies of the Trust’s shareholder reports and other materials in the future, and shareholders sharing an address that wish to receive a single copy if they are receiving multiple copies, also should send a request as indicated.

26

OTHER MATTERS

The Boards do not know of any matters to be presented at the Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Meeting, the shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the best judgment of the person or persons voting the proxies.

The Trusts are not required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and, therefore, it cannot be determined when the next meeting of shareholders will be held. Shareholder proposals to be presented at any future meeting of shareholders of a Trust must be received by the Trust a reasonable time before that Trust’s solicitation of proxies for that meeting in order for such proposals to be considered for inclusion in the proxy materials related to that meeting.

BY ORDER OF THE BOARDS OF TRUSTEES

September 25, 2012,

Boston, Massachusetts

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT PROXIES BE RETURNED PROMPTLY. THEREFORE, SHAREHOLDERS WHO DO NOT EXPECT TO ATTEND THE MEETING IN PERSON ARE URGED TO COMPLETE, SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE PROXY CARD(S) IN THE ENCLOSED ENVELOPE OR, ALTERNATIVELY, TO VOTE BY TOUCH-TONE TELEPHONE OR THE INTERNET.

APPENDIX A

JOHN HANCOCK FUNDS

NOMINATING, GOVERNANCE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE CHARTER

A. Composition. The Nominating, Governance and Administration Committee (the “Committee”) shall be composed entirely of Trustees who are “independent” as defined in the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and are not “interested persons” (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any of the Funds, or of any Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or principal underwriter (the “Independent Trustees”) who are designated for membership from time to time by the Board of Trustees. The Chairman of the Board shall be a member of the Committee.

B. Overview. The purpose of the Committee is (1) to make determinations and recommendations to the Board on issues related to (a) the composition and operation of the Board, (b) corporate governance matters applicable to the Independent Trustees, and (c) issues related to complex-wide matters and practices designed to facilitate uniformity and administration of the Board’s oversight of the Funds, and (2) to discharge such additional duties, responsibilities and functions as are delegated to it from time to time.

C. Specific Responsibilities. The Committee shall have the following duties and powers, to be exercised at such times and in such manner as the Committee shall determine:

1. To identify individuals qualified to serve as Independent Trustees of the Funds, and to consider and determine nominations of individuals to serve as Trustees.

2. To consider, as it deems necessary or appropriate, the criteria for persons to fill existing or newly created Trustee vacancies. The Committee shall use the criteria and principles set forth in Annex A to guide its Trustee selection process.

3. To consider and determine the amount of compensation to be paid by the Funds to the Independent Trustees, including incremental amounts, if any, payable to Committee Chairmen, and to address compensation-related matters. The Chairman of the Board has been granted the authority to approve special compensation to Independent Trustees in recognition of any significant amount of additional time and service to the Funds provided by them, subject to ratification of any such special compensation by the Committee at the next regular meeting of the Committee.

4. To consider and determine the duties and compensation of the Chairman of the Board.

5. To consider and recommend changes to the Board regarding the size, structure, and composition of the Board.

6. To evaluate, from time to time, and determine changes to the retirement policies for the Independent Trustees, as appropriate.

7. To monitor all expenditures and practices of the Board or the Committees or the Independent Trustees not otherwise incurred and/or monitored by a particular Committee, including, but not limited to: directors and officers liability insurance and fidelity bond coverage and costs; association dues, including Investment Company Institute and Mutual Fund Directors Forum membership dues; meeting expenditures and policies relating to reimbursement of travel expenses and expenses associated with offsite meetings; expenses and policies associated with Trustee attendance at educational or informational conferences; publication expenses; expenses of computers and related service charges; and fees of counsel to the Independent Trustees.

8. To consider, evaluate and make recommendations and necessary findings regarding independent legal counsel and any other advisers, experts or consultants that may be engaged by the Board of Trustees, by the Trustees who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940 of any of the Funds or any Fund’s investment adviser, subadviser or principal underwriter, or by the Committee, from time to time, other than as may be engaged directly by another Committee.

9. To make a recommendation to the Board of Trustees concerning the annual consideration of the agreements relating to legal services.

A-1

10. To periodically review the Board’s committee structure and, in collaboration with the Chairs of the various Committees, the charters of the Board’s committees, and recommend to the Board of Trustees changes to the committee structure and charters as it deems appropriate.

11. To coordinate and administer an annual self-evaluation of the Board, which will include, at a minimum, a review of its effectiveness in overseeing the number of Funds in the Fund complex and the effectiveness of its committee structure.

12. To retain and terminate any firm(s) to be used to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying or evaluating potential Independent Board nominees, subject to the Board’s sole authority to approve the firm’s fees and other retention terms.

13. To report its activities to Board of Trustees and to make such recommendations with respect to the matters described above and other matters as the Committee may deem necessary or appropriate.

14. To review the Rule 17j-1 Code of Ethics of the Independent Trustees in coordination with the Board of Trustees’ Compliance Committee

D. Additional Responsibilities. The Committee will also perform other tasks assigned to it from time to time by the Chairman of the Board or by the Board of Trustees, and will report findings and recommendations to the Board of Trustees, as appropriate.

E. Governance. One member of the Committee shall be appointed as chair. The chair shall be responsible for leadership of the Committee, including scheduling meetings or reviewing and approving the schedule for them, preparing agendas or reviewing and approving them before meetings, and making reports to the Board of Trustees, as appropriate.

F. Miscellaneous. The Committee shall meet as often as it deems appropriate, with or without management, as circumstances require.

The Committee shall have direct access to such officers of and service providers to the Funds as it deems desirable.

G. Evaluation. At least annually, the Committee shall evaluate its performance consistent with the requirements of this charter and report the results to the Board of Trustees.

H. Review. The Committee shall review this charter periodically and shall recommend changes to the Board of Trustees, as it deems desirable.

ANNEX A

General Criteria

1. Nominees should have a reputation for integrity, honesty and adherence to high ethical standards.

2. Nominees should have demonstrated business acumen, experience and ability to exercise sound judgments in matters that relate to the current and long-term objectives of the Funds and should be willing and able to contribute positively to the decision-making process of the Funds.

3. Nominees should have a commitment to understand the Funds, and the responsibilities of a trustee/director of an investment company and to regularly attend and participate in meetings of the Board and its committees.

4. Nominees should have the ability to understand the sometimes conflicting interests of the various constituencies of the Funds, including shareholders and the management company, and to act in the interests of all shareholders.

5. Nominees should not have, nor appear to have, a conflict of interest that would impair their ability to represent the interests of all the shareholders and to fulfill the responsibilities of a director/trustee.

A-2

Application of Criteria to Current Trustees

The renomination of current Trustees should not be viewed as automatic, but should be based on continuing qualification under the criteria set forth above based on, among other things, the current Trustee’s contribution to the Board and any committee.

Review of Nominations

1. The Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders to obtain highly-qualified candidates to serve as members of the Board.

2. In nominating candidates who would be Independent Trustees, the Committee believes that no particular qualities or skills nor any specific minimum qualifications or disqualifications are controlling or paramount. The Committee shall take into consideration any such factors as it deems appropriate. These factors may include (but are not limited to) the person’s character, integrity, judgment, skill, diversity and experience with investment companies and other organizations of comparable purpose, complexity and size and subject to similar legal restrictions and oversight; the interplay of the candidate’s experience with the experience of other Board members; and the extent to which the candidate would be a desirable addition to the Board and any Committees thereof. Other factors that the Committee may take into consideration include a person’s availability and commitment to attend meetings and perform his or her responsibilities; and whether or not the person had any relationships that might impair or appear to impair his or her independence, such as any business, financial or family relationships with Fund management, the investment adviser and/or subadviser of the Fund, as applicable, Fund service providers, or their affiliates or with Fund shareholders.

3. While the Committee is solely responsible for the selection and recommendation to the Board of Independent Board candidates, the Committee may consider nominees recommended by any source, including Fund shareholders, management and Committee members, as it deems appropriate. Any such recommendations from shareholders shall be directed to the Secretary of the relevant Fund at such address as is set forth in the Fund’s disclosure documents. Recommendations from management may be submitted to the Committee Chairperson. All recommendations shall include all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for the election of Board members and as specified in the relevant Fund’s By-Laws, and must be accompanied by a written consent of the proposed candidate to stand for election if nominated for the Board and to serve if elected by shareholders.

4. The Committee may from time to time establish specific requirements and/or additional factors to be considered for Independent Board candidates as it deems necessary or appropriate.

5. After its consideration of relevant factors, the Committee shall present its recommendation(s) to the full Board for its consideration.

As long as a current Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the Committee, to satisfy the criteria listed above, the Committee generally would favor the re-nomination of a current Trustee rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while the Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as trustees, the Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the Board, or the Committee determines that the selection of a new or additional Trustee is in the best interests of the Fund.
