ANYONE WHO TELLS YOU OTHERWISE IS COMMITTING A FEDERAL CRIME. 2 SYNOPSIS OF THE PROPOSED COMBINATION The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are very similar Funds: . Each is a separate investment fund of John Hancock Variable Series Trust I (the "Trust"), which is a Massachusetts Business Trust; . Each has substantially the same investment goals, policies and strategies; . Each has the same investment adviser and (for day-to-day portfolio management) the same sub-adviser, who manages the Funds in substantially the same manner; and . Each is subject to substantially the same risks. These include primarily the risks of investing in foreign countries (including those in emerging markets); the general risk that the value of the Fund's assets may fall (as well as rise) due to changes in securities market conditions; and the risk that the Fund's portfolio manager will be unsuccessful in making investment decisions that achieve their intended results. Investments in "derivative" securities are a secondary risk of the Funds. (Please refer to Appendix A at the end of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus for additional information about these risk factors.) Because these two Funds are so similar, the purpose of combining them is simply to achieve operating efficiencies. There will be no resulting increase in the fees and expenses borne by any shareholder. In fact, over time, shareholders can expect to benefit from lower fees and expenses than if the two Funds remained separate. Combining the two Funds will not result in any dilution of the value of your interest or that of any shareholder of either Fund. The following table shows the fees and expenses for the year ended December 31, 1999 for each Fund, as well as on a "pro-forma" basis as if the combination had occurred at the beginning of that year: Fees and Expenses International International Pro-Forma of Opportunities II Opportunities Combined Acquired Fund (Acquired Fund (Acquiring Fund and Acquiring Type of Fee or Expense Fund) Fund) Fund ---------------------- ---------------- --------------- ------------------ Sales Charge Imposed on Purchases.............

(2) Restated to reflect a 0.10% investment management fee increase effective as of November 1, 2000. (3) Before expense reimbursement provided for in the Fund's investment management agreement with John Hancock. After the reimbursement, Other Expenses would be 0.10% for each Fund and Total Operating Expenses would be 1.10% for the Acquired Fund, 0.97% for the Acquiring Fund and 0.94% for the Pro-Forma Combined. (4) If the combination had occurred as of January 1, 2000, the pro-forma combined numbers as of June 30, 2000, before any expense reimbursements would be 0.81% for Investment Management Fees, 0.18% for Other Expenses and 0.99% for Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses. Examples of Fund Expenses The following examples are intended to help you compare the cost of investing in the Acquired Fund with the cost of investing in the Acquiring Fund. The examples assume that Fund expenses continue at the rates shown in the table above. The examples assume that a shareholder invests $10,000 in each alternative for the time periods indicated and then redeems all of the shareholder's shares at the end of those periods. The example also assumes that the shareholder's investment has a 5% return each year. (The example does not reflect the fees and expenses associated with variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts for which the Funds serve as investment vehicles.) Although your actual returns may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your cost would be: 1 Year 3 Years 5 Years 10 Years ------ ------- ------- -------- The Acquired Fund (International Opportunities II Fund)..................................... $153 $474 $818 $1,791 The Acquiring Fund (International Opportunities Fund)........................................ $118 $368 $638 $1,409 Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund Combined...... $111 $347 $601 $1,329 4 In the combination, the Acquiring Fund will acquire all of the Acquired Fund's assets and assume all of its liabilities. Also, the Acquiring Fund will issue its shares in place of all then outstanding shares of the Acquired Fund. The combination has been structured as a tax-free reorganization. Therefore, the combination will have no tax consequences for any Owner. John Hancock will pay all expenses associated with the combination. The combination will take place at the Funds' regular net asset values per share. This means that the value of each shareholder's account after the combination will be exactly the same as if the combination has not occurred. The Trust's Board of Trustees has unanimously approved the combination of the Funds as being in the best interests of the Acquired Fund. BOARD CONSIDERATION OF THE COMBINATION The Trust's Board of Trustees has determined that combining the Acquired Fund with the Acquiring Fund is in the best interests of the Acquired Fund, and the Board of Trustees recommends approval of the combination by the shareholders of the Acquired Fund at the meeting. The Trustees considered this matter at a Board meeting held on September 27, 2000. The factors relevant to the Trustees' conclusions included the following: . The fact that, except for their size, the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are now essentially identical. . The favorable performance record of the Acquiring Fund. Information about this performance is set forth in Appendixes A and B at the end of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. (The Acquired Fund's performance record was less relevant to the Board, because it was achieved by a sub-adviser that has now been terminated and that used a somewhat different investment program.) . The fact that, at the time of the Board meeting, the Acquired Fund had about $26 million of assets, while the Acquiring Fund had approximately $102 million. The Trustees considered that combining the two Funds, therefore, would afford Acquired Fund shareholders the advantage of economies of scale. . The expected expense reductions that Acquired Fund shareholders will benefit from as a result of the combination. . The fact that the combination will not in any way disadvantage either Fund. 5 REASONS FOR COMBINING THE FUNDS Background Prior to June 13, 2000, the Acquired Fund had a "global" investment strategy, which was reflected in the Fund's name: "Global Equity Fund." "Global" means that the Fund sought to invest in a mix of U.S. and non-U.S. securities. Scudder Kemper Investments Inc. ("Scudder") had provided day-to- day portfolio management services to the Fund since the Fund's inception in 1998. Recent Changes to the Fund's Investment Program As of June 13, 2000, upon John Hancock's recommendation, significant changes were made in this Fund's investment program. Most importantly, Scudder was replaced as the Fund's sub-adviser, and the Fund's investment program was changed from a "global" to an "international" one. An "international" program seeks to concentrate more exclusively on non-U.S. investments. Also as of June 13, 2000, the Trustees, consistent with a recommendation of John Hancock, appointed T. Rowe Price International, Inc. ("T. Rowe Price") to take over as the sub-adviser to the Fund. Subsequently, on October 20, 2000, the Fund's shareholders approved the Fund's new sub-investment management agreement with T. Rowe Price and approved related changes in the Fund's investment management agreement with John Hancock. Among the reasons that John Hancock and the Trust's Board of Trustees selected T. Rowe Price as the Acquired Fund's new sub-adviser was their favorable evaluation of T. Rowe Price's service to the Trust's International Opportunities Fund. (T. Rowe Price has been the sub-adviser to that Fund since its inception in 1996.) Accordingly, since taking over as the Acquired Fund's sub-adviser, T. Rowe Price has sought to manage the Acquired Fund in the same way as it manages the International Opportunities Fund. To reflect this new approach, the Acquired Fund was renamed "International Opportunities II Fund." Potential Benefits from Combining the Funds Because, as discussed above, the Acquired Fund is now substantially similar to the International Opportunities Fund, it is possible to combine these two funds without disrupting their investment programs. As a result of the combination, shareholders will be part of a significantly larger Fund that can be operated more economically. There are two main reasons for this. First, a larger size permits a Fund to negotiate lower prices for certain items. For example, the investment management fees that the Funds pay to John Hancock are subject to automatic reductions (commonly referred to as "break points") as a Fund's assets increase. Thus, once 6 the Acquired Fund's assets are added to those of the Acquiring Fund, the percentage of such assets paid as investment management fees will be lower than the rate the Acquired Fund would have paid on its assets alone. The Acquired Fund's shareholders will directly benefit from any such cost reductions. Second, combining the two Funds will result in certain other efficiencies that enhance the prospect that other operation expenses will at a future time fall below 0.10 per annum. If this happens, Acquired Fund shareholders will directly benefit. FURTHER COMPARISON OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE ACQUIRED FUND Investment Goal The Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund have the same investment goal: long-term growth of capital. The investment goal of both Funds is "non-fundamental," which means that it may be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. Investment Strategies The investment strategies for the Acquiring Fund and the Acquired Fund are identical. Both invest primarily in a diversified mix of common stocks of large established and medium-sized foreign companies located throughout the world. They will not invest more than 20% of their assets in emerging market stocks. T. Rowe Price uses substantially the same personnel and analytical techniques in managing each of these Funds. For additional details about the Funds' investment strategies, please refer to Appendix A at the end of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. Fundamental Investment Restrictions The investment restrictions adopted by each Fund as "fundamental" are set forth under the caption "The Funds' Fundamental Investment Restrictions" in the Trust's Statement of Additional Information. A "fundamental" investment restriction is one that cannot be changed without approval of the Fund's shareholders. In minor respects, the Acquiring Fund's Fundamental Investment Restrictions are narrower than those of Acquired Fund. This means that the Acquired Fund theoretically could engage in certain practices that the Acquiring Fund could not. 7 In practice, however, T. Rowe Price has ample latitude to implement the Funds' investment program, under either set of restrictions. Accordingly, John Hancock does not regard these differences as material. Distribution of Fund Shares The shares of both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund are identical shares of beneficial interest, except that they each represent an interest in a different investment portfolio of the Trust. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund each sells its shares exclusively to the Accounts of John Hancock and its affiliated insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance contracts issued by the companies. The Accounts buy or redeem shares of a Fund based on (1) a contract or policy Owner's instruction to invest or receive back monies under a contract (such as making a premium payment or surrendering a contract) and (2) the operation of a contract (such as deduction of contract fees and charges). Therefore, the "distribution" of shares of both Funds is highly dependent on the efforts of John Hancock and its affiliated companies to promote the offer and sale of the variable annuity and variable life insurance contracts they issue. Investment Advisory Services John Hancock serves as investment adviser to both the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund. In this capacity, John Hancock advises each Fund in connection with policy decisions; administers the Funds' day-to-day operations; provides the Funds with personnel, office space, equipment and supplies; maintains most Fund records; and supervises the activities of the Funds' sub-adviser. The Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund pay investment management fees to John Hancock pursuant to identical fee schedules: 1.00% per annum of the Fund's first $20,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets; 0.85% of the next $30,000,000; and .75% for any additional amounts. The Acquired Fund currently has less than $25,000,000 of assets, while the combined assets of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund will exceed approximately $115,000,000. Therefore, the effective fee rate will be lower for Acquired Fund shareholders after the combination. Prior to November 1, 2000, International Opportunities II Fund paid management fees to John Hancock at a rate of .90% per annum for the first $50,000,000 of the Fund's average daily net assets; .80% of the next $100,000,000; and .70% of any additional amounts. T. Rowe Price serves as sub-adviser for each Fund. In this capacity T. Rowe Price has primary responsibility for making investment decisions for the Funds' 8 investment portfolios and placing orders with brokers and dealers to implement those decisions. T. Rowe Price receives its compensation from John Hancock, and the Funds pay no sub-management fees over and above the management fee they pay to John Hancock. T. Rowe Price receives sub-management fees from John Hancock at the same rate for the Acquiring Fund as for the Acquired Fund: .75% per annum of the first $20,000,000 of each Fund's average daily net assets; .60% of the next $30,000,000; .50% for the next $150,000,000; and .50% on all assets if the Fund's assets are $200,000,000 or more. Net Asset and Share Valuations Each Fund sells and buys back its shares at the net asset value per share ("NAV") next computed after receipt by a separate account of a contract or policy Owner's instructions. Each Fund calculates its NAV: . by dividing its net assets by the number of its outstanding shares, . once daily as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally at 4 p.m., New York City time) on each day the Exchange is open. The Funds can be expected to hold securities primarily listed on foreign exchanges that trade on weekends or other days when the Trust does not calculate NAV. Consequently, NAV may change on days when Owners will not be able to instruct a separate account to buy or redeem fund shares. The Funds value their securities based on market quotations, amortized cost, valuations of independent pricing services, or fair value determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Trust's Trustees. A Fund may value securities at fair value where, for example, market quotations are not readily available, or the value of securities has been materially affected after the closing of a foreign market. VOTING PROCEDURES AND CONDUCT OF THE SHAREHOLDERS' MEETING This Proxy Statement/Prospectus is furnished in connection with the solicitation of voting instructions by the management of John Hancock Variable Series Trust I (the "Trust") for use at the Special Meeting of Shareholders of the Trust's International Opportunities II Fund. The meeting will be held at the offices of John Hancock Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock"), 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02117, on December 22, 2000 at 11:00 A.M. Boston time. 9 Solicitation of Voting Instructions (i.e., "Proxies") This solicitation is being made of all shares of the Trust's International Opportunities II Fund (the "Acquired Fund") that are attributable to the Owners' interests in John Hancock Variable Life Accounts U, V, and S; John Hancock Variable Annuity Accounts U, V, JF, H and I; Separate Account IPL-1 of Investors Partner Life Insurance Company ("IPL"); and John Hancock Mutual Variable Life Insurance Account UV (collectively, the "Accounts"). The cost of printing and mailing this Notice and Proxy Statement/Prospectus and the accompanying voting instructions form will be borne by John Hancock. All other expenses will be borne by John Hancock. In addition to solicitations by mail, regular employees of John Hancock may solicit voting instructions in person or by telephone; such employees will not be compensated for such services. Solicitation materials were first made available to Owners on or about December 8, 2000. Voting Instructions Although John Hancock and its subsidiaries, IPL and John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company ("JHVLICO"), through the Accounts, legally own all of the Trust's shares, they will vote all of such shares in accordance with instructions given by Owners of variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts, as discussed below. For this purpose, the Owner of a variable annuity contract during the period after annuity payments have commenced is the annuitant. Any authorized voting instructions will also be valid for any adjournment of the meeting and will be revocable only at the direction of the Owner executing them. If an insufficient number of affirmative votes are obtained to approve any matter, the meeting may be adjourned to permit the solicitation of additional votes. Shares will be voted for any such adjournment in the discretion of those persons named in the voting instructions. Whether a proposal is approved depends upon whether a sufficient number of votes are cast for the proposal. Accordingly, an instruction to abstain from voting on any proposal has the same practical effect as an instruction to vote against that proposal. Any person giving voting instructions may revoke them at any time prior to their exercise by submitting a superseding voting instruction form or a notice of revocation to the Trust. In addition, although mere attendance at the meeting will not revoke voting instructions, an Owner present at the meeting may withdraw his/her voting instruction form and vote in person. John Hancock, JHVLICO and IPL will vote the Acquired Fund's shares in accordance with all properly executed and unrevoked voting instructions received in time for the meeting. John Hancock, JHVLICO and IPL will vote the shares of Acquired Fund held in their respective Accounts which are attributable to the policies and contracts in accordance with the voting instructions received from the Owners participating in 10 that Fund. An Account's shares in the Acquired Fund which are not attributable to policies or contracts or for which no timely voting instructions are received will be represented and voted by John Hancock, JHVLICO or IPL in the same proportion as the voting instructions which are received from all Owners participating in the Fund through that Account. Acquired Fund shares which are not attributable to policies and contracts include shares purchased with contributions made as "seed money" to the Fund, by John Hancock or JHVLICO. Please refer to Appendix C to this statement if you wish additional information about the number of shares of each Fund that are outstanding or that are attributable to John Hancock, JHVLICO, or IPL (rather than to Owners). Required Vote In order for the shareholders to approve the combination of the Funds, the proposal must receive the favorable vote of more than 50% of the outstanding Acquired Fund shares or, if less, 67% or more of the shares present or represented at the meeting. WHETHER OR NOT YOU EXPECT TO BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING, PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THE ENCLOSED FORM OF VOTING INSTRUCTIONS. YOU MAY STILL VOTE IN PERSON IF YOU ATTEND THE MEETING. CAPITALIZATION OF THE FUNDS The following table sets forth as of June 30, 2000: (i) the capitalization of the Acquired Fund, (ii) the capitalization of the Acquiring Fund, and (iii) the pro forma capitalization of the Acquired Fund as adjusted to give effect to the combination of the two Funds.

The Plan can be terminated at any time by mutual agreement of the parties. Also, the Plan provides that the combination is subject to 11 a prior condition that the shareholders of International Opportunities II Fund approve the transaction.

The Fund primarily invests in a diversified mix of common stocks of large established and medium-sized foreign companies located throughout the world, including developed, newly industrialized, and emerging countries. The manager determines the distribution among countries and regions by using a combination of fundamental research and economic analysis, emphasizing: . prospects for relative economic growth between foreign countries; . expected levels of inflation; . government policies influencing business conditions; and . outlook for currency relationships. The manager selects stocks that have growth characteristics such as: . leading market position or technological leadership; . high return on invested capital; . healthy balance sheets with relatively low debt; . strong competitive advantage; . strength of management; and . earnings growth and cash flow sufficient to support growing dividends. The Fund invests: . in at least 3 different countries; and . no more than 20% of its assets in emerging market stocks. Although the Fund may employ foreign currency hedging techniques, the Fund normally maintains the currency exposure of the underlying equity investments. The Fund normally invests in 150 to 250 stocks in 15 to 20 countries. The Fund normally has 10% or less of its assets in cash and cash equivalents. The Fund also may purchase other types of securities, for example: American Depository Receipts (ADRs), Global Depository Receipts (GDRs), European Depository Receipts (EDRs), and certain derivatives (investments whose value is based on indices or other securities). In abnormal market conditions, the Fund may take temporary defensive measures--such as holding unusually large amounts of cash and cash equivalents-- A-1 that are inconsistent with the Fund's primary investment strategy. In taking those measures, the Fund may not achieve its investment goal. SUBADVISER T.

This information may help provide an indication of the fund's risks and potential rewards. All figures assume dividend reinvestment. Past performance does not indicate future results. The performance figures below do not reflect the deduction of fees and charges payable under the variable contracts. Such fees and charges would cause the investment returns under the contracts to be less than that shown below.

Index: MSCI Europe, Australia, Far East (EAFE) Index (for periods through December 31, 1998) MSCI All Country World Index, Excluding U.S. (for periods after December 31, 1998) A-3 Main Risks Primary Foreign Risk: The Fund's foreign securities will pose special risks, due to limited government regulation, lack of public information, economic, political and social instability and foreign currency rate fluctuations. Factors such as lack of liquidity, foreign ownership limits and restrictions on removing currency also pose special risks. All foreign securities have some degree of foreign risk. However, to the extent the Fund invests in emerging market countries, it will have a significantly higher degree of foreign risk than if it invested exclusively in developed or newly-industrialized countries. Market Risk: The value of the securities in the Fund may go down in response to overall stock or bond market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up and down in value more than bonds. If the Fund's investments are concentrated in certain sectors, the Fund's performance could be worse than the overall market. Manager Risk: The manager and its strategy may fail to produce the intended results. The Fund could underperform its peers or lose money if the manager's investment strategy does not perform as expected. Secondary Derivatives Risk: Certain derivative instruments (such as options, futures and swaps) can produce disproportionate gains or losses. They are generally considered more risky than direct equity investments. Also, in a down market, derivatives could become harder to value or sell at a fair price. A-4 The financial highlights table below is intended to help you understand the Acquiring Fund's financial performance since its inception on May 1, 1996. Certain information reflects financial results for a single Fund share. The total returns in the table represent the rate that a shareholder would have earned (lost) on an investment in the Fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions). Except for the information as of June 30, 2000 (which is unaudited) the information in the below table has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, whose report, along with the Fund's financial statements, are included in the Trust's Annual Report to Shareholders for the year ended December 31, 1999 (which is available upon request via the phone number or address on the cover page of this Proxy Statement/Prospectus).

A-6 APPENDIX B--PERFORMANCE INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE ACQUIRING FUND Fund Performance Management, Discussion and Analysis: December 31, 1999 Fund Inception: May 1, 1996 International Opportunities Fund Martin Wade Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. The excitement driving US technology, telecom and Internet stocks raced through all international regions in the fourth quarter, pushing the MSCI EAFE benchmark up 17% (cited in US$). Latin America--not in the MSCI EAFE benchmark--was the strongest region, up 33%. Performances of other regions were in a tight band with the Pacific ex-Japan ahead 19%, Europe up 17%, and Japan 16% higher. The overriding factor propelling markets was enthusiasm for "new economy" stocks: telecom and Internet-related companies and their suppliers. The portfolio returned 34.01%, markedly outperforming the 31.79% return of its benchmark. Country weighting relative to the benchmark was broadly neutral for the full year. Our underweight position in Japan subtracted considerable value, while an overweight position in Latin America added significant value. Also, underweight positions in the weaker UK and German markets were positive contributors. The sector which added the most value was overweighting electronic components. Overweighting the consumer electronics sector and underweighting utilities and insurance were also positive. We expect stronger economic growth in Europe. In Japan, declining domestic demand and capital expenditure together with the potential for a strong yen are liable to keep the economy weak. Elsewhere in Asia, economic recovery is well under way and we expect it to continue. We remain cautiously optimistic about Latin America. Although we believe the valuations of some "new economy" stocks in international regions have become excessive, we are enthusiastic about the growth potential of well-managed telecom, Internet-related and technology businesses. Fortified by a year of improvement, international economies are poised for better growth with moderate inflation in 2000. Greater-than-expected progress in restructuring and reform during 1999, as well as more mergers and acquisitions than anticipated, have enhanced the earning potential of international companies and have paved the way for international stock markets to rise in the year ahead.

John Hancock Variable Series Trust I, (the "Trust") is an open-end management investment company. With the exception of the Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced and Global Bond Funds, each of the Funds is a "diversified" Fund within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"). Shares of the Trust are currently sold to John Hancock Variable Life Accounts U, V, and S to support variable life insurance policies issued by John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company ("JHVLICO"); John Hancock Variable Annuity Accounts U and V to support variable annuity contracts issued by John Hancock Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock"); John Hancock Variable Annuity Accounts I and JF to support variable annuity contracts issued by JHVLICO; John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Account UV to support variable life insurance policies issued by John Hancock; and Investors Partner Life Account IPL-1 to support variable life insurance policies issued by Investors Partner Life Insurance Company ("IPL"). It is anticipated that, in the future, Trust shares may be sold to other separate investment accounts of JHVLICO, John Hancock and IPL. Each of these separate accounts is hereinafter referred to as a "Separate Account." Because the Separate Accounts currently own all of the Trust's shares, those Separate Accounts (or John Hancock, JHVLICO, and IPL) may be deemed to control the Trust. John Hancock, JHVLICO and IPL, in turn, are all directly or indirectly controlled by John Hancock Financial Services, Inc., a publicly-traded holding company. The Trust issues a separate series of shares of beneficial interest for each Fund. Each share issued with respect to a Fund has a pro rata interest in the net assets of that Fund. The assets of each Fund are charged with the liabilities of that Fund and a proportionate share of the general liabilities of the Trust. THE TRUST'S BUSINESS HISTORY The Trust is, in part, a successor to three Separate Accounts of JHVLICO, as well as the six Separate Accounts of John Hancock described below. On March 28, 1986, all of the investment assets and related liabilities of the Variable Life Stock, Bond, and Money Market Accounts were transferred to what are now the Growth & Income, Active Bond and Money Market Funds of the Trust, respectively, in exchange for shares of those Funds. On February 20, 1987, all of the investment assets and related liabilities of six Variable Annuity Stock, Bond and Money Market Accounts were transferred to what are now the Growth & Income, Active Bond and Money Market Funds of the Trust, respectively, in exchange for shares of these Funds. The Trust itself was incorporated on September 23, 1985, under the laws of the State of Maryland and was reorganized as a Massachusetts business trust effective April 29, 1988. Over the years, several Funds have been re-named as follows: Year of Current Fund Name Prior Name(s) Change ----------------- ------------- ------ International Opportunities II Global Equity 2000 Active Bond Sovereign Bond 2000 Bond 1996 Global Balanced International Balanced 2000 Global Bond Strategic Bond 1999 Growth & Income Stock 1996 International Equity Index International Equities 1998 International 1995 Global 1994 4 Year of Current Fund Name - continued Prior Name(s) - continued Change ----------------------------- ------------------------- ------ Large Cap Growth Select Stock 1995 Short-Term Bond Short-Term U.S. Government 1998 Small/Mid Cap Growth Diversified Mid Cap Growth 1999 Special Opportunities 1998 THE FUNDS' INVESTMENT ACTIVITIES AND THEIR RISKS The different investment activities of the several Funds will affect both their investment returns and the nature and degree of risks to which they are exposed. Sections 1. - 29. below describe many (but not all) of these investment activities and risks. 1. Investing in Money Market Instruments The Money Market Fund invests exclusively in "money market" instruments; all the other Funds may invest in these instruments to some extent. These are high quality, short-term fixed income obligations. Because of their nature, money market instruments generally do not carry significant risks of loss. The principal risk is that a Fund's return on money market instruments will be less than it would have earned on a riskier investment. 2. Investing in Other Fixed Income Obligations The following Funds invested primarily in non-money market fixed income (i.e., "debt") securities: the Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Core Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced and Global Balanced Funds can vary their holdings of these securities within a broad range. All the other Funds (except the Money Market Fund) may from time to time invest in non-money market debt to some extent. Various types of risk associated with these securities are discussed in the balance of this Section 2. Interest rate risk: In general, debt securities with longer maturities than money market instruments have exposure to interest rate risk. Changes in generally prevailing market interest rates alter a debt security's market value and introduce volatility into the rate of return of a Fund that invests in such securities. When prevailing interest rates go up, the market value of debt securities tends to go down and vice versa. This sensitivity of the market value of a debt security to changes in interest rates is generally related to the "duration" of the instrument. The market value of a shorter-term fixed income security is generally less sensitive to interest rate moves than that of a longer-term security. For example, the interest rate risk of the Short-Term Bond Fund, although moderate, is below that of traditional intermediate or long-term bond portfolios. Credit risk: The value of a fixed income security may also change as a result of market perceptions regarding its credit risk: i.e., the ability of the borrower to repay its debts. The market value of a fixed income security can fall when the market perceives the borrower to be less credit worthy. Conversely, the market value of a fixed income security can increase due to its borrower being perceived as financially stronger. All Funds that invest in non-money market debt securities may have some exposure to credit risk. Even some U.S. Government obligations have a degree of credit risk. "U.S. Government obligations" are bills, certificates of indebtedness, notes and bonds issued or guaranteed as to principal or interest by the United States or by agencies or authorities controlled or supervised by and acting as instrumentalities of the U.S. Government and established under the authority granted by Congress. Some obligations of U.S. Government 5 agencies, authorities, and other instrumentalities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; others by the right of the issuer to borrow from the Treasury; and others only by the credit of the issuing agency, authority, or other instrumentality. These latter types of obligations, therefore, do have a degree of credit risk. U.S. Government obligations are used most in the Bond Index, Active Bond and Global Bond Funds. All of the other Funds may also invest in U.S. Government obligations to some extent. Securities having one of the four highest rating categories for debt securities as defined by Moody's investors Services, Inc. (Aaa, Aa, A, or Baa) or Standard and Poor's Corporation (AAA, AA, A, or BBB) or, if unrated, determined to be of comparable quality by the subadviser, are referred to as "investment grade." The meanings of such ratings are set forth in Appendix A to this Statement of Additional Information. Lower-rated bonds have more credit risk than higher rated bonds. Risk of lower-quality instruments: High-yield bonds (or "junk" bonds) are debt securities rated below "investment grade" as defined above. The value of these lower rated securities generally is more subject to credit risk than is the case for higher rated securities, and their values tend to respond more to changes in market perceptions regarding their credit risk. Investments in companies issuing high yield securities are considered to be more speculative than higher quality instruments. As such, these securities typically pay a higher interest rate than investment grade securities. Issuers of high yield securities are typically in weak financial health, and their ability to pay back principal and interest on the bonds they issue is uncertain. Some of these issuers may be in default or bankruptcy. Compared with issuers of investment-grade bonds, they are more likely to encounter financial difficulties and to be materially affected by these difficulties when they do encounter them. High yield bond markets may react strongly to adverse news about an issuer or the economy, or to the perception or expectations of adverse news. These debt securities may also have less liquid markets than higher rated securities. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing higher yield securities than in the case of other securities for which more extensive quotations and last-sale information are available. Adverse publicity and changing investor perceptions may affect the ability of outside pricing services used by a Fund to value its portfolio securities, and the ability of the Fund to dispose of its lower-rated bonds. The market prices of high yield securities may decline significantly in periods of general economic difficulty, which may follow periods of rising interest rates. During an economic downturn or a prolonged period of risking interest rates, the ability of issuers of lower-rated debt to service their payment obligations, meet projected goals, or obtain additional financing may be impaired. In that case, a Fund may find it necessary, at its own expense or in conjunction with others, to pursue litigation or otherwise exercise its rights as a security holder to seek to protect the interests of security holders, if it determines this to be in the interest of Fund investors. The 1980s saw a dramatic increase in the use of high yield securities to finance highly leveraged corporate acquisitions and restructurings. Past experience may not provide an accurate indication of future performance of high yield securities, especially during periods of economic recession. In fact, from 1989 to 1991, the percentage of high yield securities that defaulted rose significantly above prior levels. All Funds (other than the Money Market Fund) that invest in debt securities may at times have some exposure to high yield securities. The High Yield Bond Fund intends to invest primarily in these securities. The other Funds most likely to invest a significant portion of their assets in high yield securities are the Short-Term Bond, Active Bond, and Core Bond Funds. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Global Bond and Global Balanced Funds may also invest in high yield securities to some extent. In contrast, the Bond Index Fund will not invest in debt securities that are not at least investment grade at the time of purchase. Although not customarily referred to as "high yield" securities or "junk bonds," debt securities that fall in the lowest rating within the investment grade category are considered medium grade securities that have some 6 speculative characteristics. Accordingly, to a lesser degree, they may present the same risks discussed above with respect to high yield securities. The considerations discussed above for lower-rated debt securities also are applicable to lower quality unrated debt instruments of all types, including loans and other direct indebtedness of businesses with poor credit standing. Unrated debt instruments are not necessarily of lower quality than rated securities, but they may not be attractive to as many buyers. Prepayment/Call risk: Prepayment risk is the risk that the obligor on a debt security may repay or "call" the debt before it is due. Most mortgage backed, asset backed, other public bond debt securities and 144A securities that a Fund might own are exposed to this risk. U.S. Government securities have minimal exposure to this risk. Prepayment/call is most likely to occur when interest rates have declined and a borrower can refinance the debt at a lower interest rate level. Generally, a Fund reinvests the proceeds resulting from prepayments in a lower yielding instrument. This results in a decrease in the Fund's current yield. The values of securities that are subject to prepayment/call risk also tend to increase less in response to declining interest rates and decrease more in response to increasing interest rates than would the value of otherwise similar securities that do not have prepayment or "call" features. All Funds that invest in debt securities (other than the Money Market Fund) may at times have some exposure to prepayment/call risk. The Funds most likely to invest a significant portion of their assets in debt securities with prepayment/call features are the Short-Term Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Global Bond and High Yield Bond Funds. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, and Global Balanced Funds may also invest in these securities. Risks of "zero coupon" instruments: All of the Funds may, in varying degrees, invest in debt instruments that provide for payment of interest at the maturity date of the instrument (or payment of interest in the form of additional securities), rather than payment of interest in cash periodically over the life of the instrument. The values of such instruments tend to respond more to changes in interest rates than do otherwise comparable debt obligations that provide for periodic interest payments. The Funds most likely to invest a significant amount of their assets in instruments that are subject to this volatility risk are the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Real Estate Equity, Global Balanced, Short-Term Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds. However, all Funds that invest in debt securities may at times have some exposure to this risk. 3. Investing in Equity Securities All of the Funds intend to invest to some degree in common stock or other equity securities, except for the Short-Term Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Global Bond, and Money Market Funds. All of the Funds that invest in equity securities expect to make such securities their primary investment (except for the Managed, High Yield Bond and Global Balanced Funds, which may nevertheless do so in the discretion of their subadvisers). Though investing in equity securities, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, and Global Balanced Funds also expect, under normal conditions, to invest a substantial amount of their assets in debt obligations. General risks of investing in equity securities are discussed in the balance of this Section 3. Equity risk: Investments in common stock or other equity securities historically have offered a higher rate of return than money market instruments or longer term debt securities. However, the risks associated with equity securities also tends to be higher, because the investment performance of equity securities depends upon factors which are difficult to predict. The fundamental risk associated with any equity portfolio is the risk that the value of the investments it holds might decrease in value. Equity security values may fluctuate in response to the activities of an individual company or in response to general market, interest rate, and/or economic conditions. Market capitalization risk: Another indication of the relative risk of a common stock investment is the size of the company, which is typically defined by reference to its "market capitalization." Market capitalization is computed by multiplying current market price of a share of the company's stock by the total number of its shares outstanding. 7 Investing in larger capitalization companies generally involves a lesser degree of risk than investing in smaller capitalization companies. Conversely, investing in the equity securities of smaller companies involves greater risks and potential rewards than investing in larger, more established companies. Small capitalization companies, in particular, often have limited product lines, markets or financial resources, and they may depend upon a small group of inexperienced managers. Investments in such companies can be both more volatile and more speculative. These securities may have limited marketability and are subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than securities of larger companies or the market in general. Three capitalization levels are currently used by the Trust: large, medium ("mid"), and small. Each of these capitalization levels will be defined by reference to the Russell 3000(R) Index. The Russell 3000(R) Index Index is a broad market index and is representative of the U.S. stock markets with a total capitalization of $13.4 trillion at the end of 1999.1 . Large cap: Companies having a capitalization within the range of the 300 largest companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index will be considered to be large capitalization ("large cap") companies. At the end of 1999, each of the largest 300 companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index had a capitalization greater than $ 7.9 billion. . Mid cap: Companies having a capitalization within the range of the 250 to 1000 largest companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index will be considered to be "mid cap." At the end of 1999, such mid cap companies had capitalizations ranging from $1.4 billion to $9.7 billion. . Small cap: Companies having a capitalization within the range of the remaining companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index will be considered to be small capitalization ("small cap") companies. At the end of 1999, none of these smallest companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index had a market capitalization of more than $1.4 billion. The above parameters for large cap, mid cap and small cap are adjusted at the end of each calendar quarter to reflect changes in the market capitalization of the Russell 3000(R) Index. The equity securities of the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Growth & Income, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, International Opportunities II, Global Balanced and International Equity Index Funds are generally expected to represent primarily companies that qualify as large cap issuers. These Funds also may invest in the equity securities of companies that qualify as small and mid cap issuers. The equity securities of the Large/Mid Cap Value, International Equity and International Opportunities Funds are generally expected to represent primarily large and mid cap issuers. These Funds also may invest in the equity securities of companies that qualify as small cap issuers. The equity securities of the Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, and Mid Cap Blend Funds are generally expected to represent primarily companies that qualify as mid cap issuers. These Funds also may invest in the equity securities of companies that qualify as small or large cap issuers. The equity securities of the Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, and Small/Mid Cap CORE Funds are generally expected to represent companies that are small cap and mid cap issuers. These Funds also may invest in the equity securities of companies that qualify as large cap issuers. - -------------------------- 1 The Russell 3000(R) Index is a service mark of Frank Russell Company, which does not sponsor and is not in any way affiliated with the Trust. Inclusion in the index in no way implies an opinion as to its attractiveness or appropriateness as an investment. 8 The Small Cap Value and Small Cap Growth Funds are generally expected to invest primarily in equity securities of companies that qualify as small cap issuers. Although these Funds also may invest significant amounts in the equity securities of companies that qualify as mid cap issuers, it is expected that they would rarely invest in the equity securities of companies that qualify only as large cap issuers. The Emerging Markets Equity Fund has broad latitude to invest in companies of any size. The Real Estate Equity Fund invests in real estate equity securities that have historically been primarily mid cap, but it may also invest in small cap or large cap equity securities. 4. Investing in Real Estate Securities The Real Estate Equity Fund invests primarily in companies with activities related to the real estate industry, such as real estate investment trusts ("REITs") that own commercial and multifamily residential real estate, real estate operating companies ("REOCs") that derive the majority of their revenue, income or asset value from real estate and other companies engaged in non-real estate businesses but whose real estate holdings are significant in relation to the market value of their common stock. The securities purchased will be principally common stock (and securities convertible into or with rights to purchase common stock) but a portion of the Fund may be invested in preferred stock. The Fund may also invest in commercial mortgage securities (debt obligations secured by commercial property), collateralized mortgage obligations (mortgage pass through securities secured by commercial mortgage pools) and master limited partnerships from time to time, but does not do so on the date of this Statement of Additional Information. In addition to the Real Estate Equity Fund, all of the other Funds (except for the Money Market Fund) may have some exposure to real estate risks through investments in companies engaged in real estate related businesses or investments in debt instruments secured by real estate. Risks of real estate securities: Generally speaking, real estate securities may be affected by risks similar to those resulting from the direct ownership of real estate, as well as by market risks due to changes in interest rates and by the overall volatility of the equity markets. The market value of shares in equity real estate investment trusts and commercial property companies, in particular, is heavily dependent upon the value of their underlying properties. Overbuilding, declines in local or regional economic conditions, financial difficulties on the part of major tenants and increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses all could decrease the value of the real estate investments. 5. Investing in Foreign Securities Investments in foreign securities may be made in a foreign-denominated security, or in the form of American Depositary Receipts ("ADRs"), European Depositary Receipts ("EDRs") or other securities representing underlying shares of foreign securities. ADRs, EDRs and other securities representing underlying shares of foreign securities may not necessarily be denominated in the same currency as the securities into which they may be converted, but rather in the currency of the market in which they are traded. ADRs are receipts, typically issued by an American bank or trust company, which evidence ownership of underlying securities issued by a foreign corporation. EDRs are receipts issued in Europe by banks or depositories which evidence a similar ownership arrangement. Generally, ADRs are designed for use in U.S. securities markets; while EDRs are designed for use in European securities markets. Investments in debt securities issued by foreign issuers may be made directly in foreign-denominated debt instruments or in the form of U.S. dollar denominated debt securities issued by foreign issuers and publicly traded in the United States ("Yankees") or in Europe ("Eurobonds"). The International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Global Bond and Global Balanced Funds invest primarily in foreign securities, including foreign-denominated securities. To a lesser extent, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced High Yield Bond, Core Bond, Large 9 Cap Value and Mid Cap Growth Funds may also invest in foreign securities, including foreign-denominated securities. The Large Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Small Cap Value, and Equity Index Funds may invest in ADRs and other U.S. dollar denominated foreign securities to a limited extent. The Short-Term Bond, Bond Index and Active Bond Funds may invest in foreign debt securities only if denominated in U.S. dollars (i.e., Yankees and Eurobonds). The Emerging Markets Equity Fund invests primarily in developing countries commonly known as "emerging markets." To a lesser extent, the Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Core Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, Active Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may also invest in emerging markets. Risks of investing in foreign securities are discussed in the paragraphs that follow: Currency risks: When a Fund buys foreign-issued securities, it usually must pay for those securities in the local currency. Therefore, the Fund must convert funds into the local currency to the extent necessary for this purpose. Similarly, when a Fund sells a foreign security, it may receive payment in the local currency. Therefore, if the Fund does not wish to continue to hold that currency, it must enter into a transaction disposing of it. In these ways, therefore, a Fund may temporarily hold foreign currency in order to facilitate the purchase and sale of foreign securities. This exposes the fund to the risk that the foreign currency's value could, while the Fund was temporarily holding that currency, decline relative to the U.S. dollar. This could result in a loss to the Fund, because the Fund's assets and shares are valued in U.S. dollars. On the other hand, the Fund could experience gains if the foreign currency's value, relative to the U.S. dollar, increases during the period when the Fund holds that currency. More fundamentally, however, because the Fund values its assets and shares in U.S. dollars, the Fund's gains and/or losses on investments that are denominated or traded in foreign currencies will depend in part on changes in the value of that currency relative to the U.S. dollar. This exposes the Fund to the risk of loss if that foreign currency loses value, as well as the possibility of gains if that currency gains value, relative to the U.S. dollar. The Funds may (but are not required to) employ certain strategies to limit their risks or otherwise manage their exposure to foreign currencies. Such currency management techniques, as well as the risks that those techniques themselves present, are discussed in Sections 6. - 10. below. Also, a risk exists that a foreign country may have or implement restrictions on transactions in its currency that prevent a Fund from effectively managing or reducing its exposure to that currency, even after the Fund has disposed of any securities denominated or traded in that currency. The risks associated with foreign currency conversions are not present in investments in Yankees and Eurobonds because these debt securities are U. S. dollar denominated. Political and economic risk: Foreign securities often are subject to heightened political and economic risks, particularly in emerging markets or other underdeveloped or developing countries, which may have relatively unstable governments and economies based on only a few industries. Foreign governments may take over the assets or operations of a company, may impose additional taxes, or may place limits on the removal of the Fund's assets from that country. However, investments in foreign securities also offer the opportunity to diversify holdings and to invest in economies whose growth may outpace that of the United States. Regulatory risk: Generally, there is less government supervision of foreign markets. Foreign issuers generally are not subject to uniform accounting, auditing, and financial reporting standards and practices applicable to domestic issuers. There may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers than domestic issuers. These risks may be greater in emerging markets or other underdeveloped or developing countries. 10 Market risk: Foreign securities markets, particularly those of emerging markets or other underdeveloped or developing countries, may be less liquid and more volatile than domestic markets. Certain markets may require payment for securities a Fund purchases before delivery of these securities to the Fund, and delays may be encountered in settling securities transactions. In some foreign markets, there may be limited protection against failures by other parties to complete their transactions with a Fund. There may be limited legal recourse against an issuer in the event of a default on a debt instrument held by a Fund. Transaction costs: Transaction costs of buying and selling foreign securities, including brokerage, tax, and custody costs, are generally higher than those involved in domestic transactions. This is particularly true for investments in emerging markets, or other underdeveloped or developing countries. 6. Using Forward Exchange Contracts to Manage Currency Exposure Transaction hedging and portfolio hedging: When a Fund anticipates having to purchase or sell a foreign currency to facilitate a foreign securities transaction, it may wish to "lock in" the current exchange rate for that currency (vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar) and thus avoid (in whole or in part) exposure to further changes in that rate that could occur prior to when the purchase or sale proceeds are actually paid. This is called "transaction hedging." A Fund can do transaction hedging by purchasing or selling foreign currencies in the "spot" (i.e., cash) market. Alternatively, the following Funds may use "forward" currency foreign exchange purchase or sale contracts for transaction hedging: the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Global Bond, Core Bond and High Yield Bond Funds. In a forward exchange contract, the Fund purchases or sells a specific amount of foreign currency, at a price set and time set in the contract, which may be any fixed number of days in the future. These same Funds may also use forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce their exposure to changes (relative to the U.S. dollar) in the value of a foreign currency during a period of time when the Fund owns securities that are denominated, exposed to or traded in that currency. This is called "portfolio hedging." Except as described in the paragraph immediately below for certain funds, the Funds may not engage in portfolio hedging with respect to the currency of a particular country to an extent greater than the aggregate market value (at the time of establishing the hedge) of securities held by that Fund which are denominated, exposed to or traded in that particular foreign currency. The Funds may or may not attempt to hedge some or all of their foreign portfolio positions. Rather, they will enter into such transactions only to the extent, if any, deemed appropriate by their subadvisers. Furthermore, no Fund will use forward foreign currency exchange contracts for the purpose of leveraging the Fund's currency exposure. For purposes of transaction hedging or portfolio hedging, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced, Global Bond, Core Bond, International Equity Index, International Equity, Emerging Markets Equity, International Opportunities, and International Opportunities II Funds may use forward exchange contracts on a "proxy" currency, instead of the currency being hedged. A proxy currency is one that the subadviser believes will bear a close relationship to the currency being hedged and believes will approximately equal the performance of such currency relative to the U.S. dollar. Nevertheless, changes in the value of the currency being hedged may not correspond to changes in the value of the proxy currency as expected, which could result in the currency hedge being more favorable or less favorable to the Fund than the subadviser had expected. Other techniques for managing currency exposure: The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Core Bond and Global Bond Funds may use additional techniques when their subadvisers believe that the currency of a particular country may suffer a significant decline against the U.S. dollar or against another currency. In that case, these Funds may enter into a forward currency contract to sell, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars or other appropriate currency, the amount of foreign currency approximating the value of some or all of the Fund's securities denominated in, traded in, or exposed to such foreign currency. The currency contract may call for the Fund to receive a currency other than U.S. dollars, for example, if such other currency is believed to be undervalued or necessary to bring the Fund's overall exposure to various currencies into a more 11 desirable balance. For similar purposes, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Global Balanced, Emerging Markets Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, International Equity, Mid Cap Growth, Core Bond and Global Bond Funds may also enter into contracts to purchase, for a fixed amount of U.S. dollars, or other appropriate currency, an amount of foreign currency corresponding to the value of some of the Fund's securities. Asset segregation requirements for forward exchange contracts: A Fund may "cover" its obligations under outstanding forward currency sale contracts by maintaining portfolio securities denominated, exposed to or traded in the currency of such contracts or of an appropriate proxy currency. To the extent a Fund does not thus cover all of its forward currency sales positions with its portfolio securities, or if it has outstanding any forward currency purchase contracts, the Funds' custodian will segregate cash or liquid assets in a separate account of the Fund in an amount at all times at least equal to the value of the Fund's net obligation with respect to forward contracts in a particular currency or, in the case of the Global Balanced Fund only, the value of that Fund's net "out of the money" obligation (If any) with respect to all of the Fund's outstanding forward currency contracts. If the value of the portfolio securities used to cover a position or the value of the assets in the segregated account declines, the Fund will find additional "cover" or additional cash or liquid assets will be placed in the account so that the value of the account will at least equal the required amount described in the preceding sentence. 7. Using Options on Currencies to Manage Currency Exposure The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may also purchase and write put and call options on foreign currencies for the same purposes as those Funds could use forward foreign exchange contracts (as discussed in Section 6. above). This could include options traded on U.S. and foreign exchanges, as well as those traded in "over-the-counter" markets. The characteristics and risks of these currency option transactions are similar to those discussed in Sections 15. - 16. below with respect to put and call options on securities. Call options on foreign currencies written by a Fund will be "covered," which means that the Fund will own at all times at least an equal amount of, or an offsetting position in, the underlying foreign currency. Asset segregation requirement for currency put options written by a Fund: With respect to put options on foreign currencies written by a Fund, the Fund will establish a segregated account with its custodian bank consisting of cash, U.S. Government securities or other high grade liquid debt securities in an amount equal at all times to the amount the Fund would be required to deliver upon exercise of the put. 8. Using Currency Futures Contracts and Options Thereon to Manage Currency Exposure. Any Fund may use currency futures contracts and options thereon for the same purposes and to the same extent as that Fund could use forward foreign exchange contracts (as discussed in Section 6. above). The characteristics and risks of such futures and options transactions are similar to those discussed in Sections 16. - 19. below for other transactions in futures contracts and options thereon. All transactions in currency futures and options thereon also would be subject to the applicable limitations in Section 20. below. 9. Using Certain Other Derivative Instruments to Manage Currency Exposure As discussed in Section 21. below, several of the Funds may use currency "swaps," "caps," "floors," and "collars" for the same purposes as those Funds could use forward foreign exchange contracts (as discussed in Section 6. above). The characteristics and risks of such "derivative" transactions, as discussed in Section 21., are generally also applicable when such instruments are used for currency management purposes. 12 10. Using Foreign Currency Exposure Management Strategies (General Considerations and Risks) The foreign currency management techniques discussed in Sections 6.- 9. above do not eliminate fluctuations in the prices of portfolio securities or prevent losses if the prices of such securities decline. The Funds are not obligated to try to hedge against any change in the value of any currency. Even if a Fund wished to do so, there is no assurance that market conditions would be such as to make such hedging possible. Moreover, even where a Fund establishes positions designed to manage its foreign currency exposure, there is no assurance that this will be beneficial to the Fund. Such positions may cause a Fund to forego gains that it otherwise could have achieved or incur costs and losses that it would not otherwise have incurred. (In general the cost to the Funds of engaging in foreign currency management transactions varies with such factors as the currency involved, the type and duration of the instrument being used for this purpose, and the market conditions then prevailing.) It is entirely possible, therefore, that any effort to manage a Fund's currency exposure could have a negative effect on the Fund's investment performance. In general, the more foreign securities a given Fund invests in, the greater its currency management activities are likely to be. Also, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity and Global Bond Funds may use certain of these same types of instruments in currency management strategies that expose those Funds to currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Although this would not be done for the purpose of "leveraging" the Fund's overall exposure to fluctuations in currency values, such strategies could expose those Funds to greater risks of loss and greater volatility than they otherwise would experience. 11. Reallocating a Fund's Assets Among Asset Classes The continual reallocation of assets among the major asset classes (e.g., stocks, bonds, and cash) involves the risk that the subadviser may reduce the Fund's holdings in an asset class whose value increases unexpectedly, or may increase the Fund's holdings in an asset class just prior to that asset class experiencing a loss of value. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, and Global Balanced Funds tend to exercise broad discretion in reallocating assets across asset classes. The Global Bond Fund and the International Opportunities II Fund intend to exercise discretion to reallocate assets across domestic and international asset classes. All of the other Funds, with the exception of the Money Market Fund, generally allow the subadviser some latitude to allocate across asset classes. Nevertheless, this latitude is expected to be exercised to a lesser degree than in the case of the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, and Global Balanced Funds. 12. Adopting a Temporary Defensive Strategy All of the Funds, except the Money Market Fund, may (but are not required to) adopt a defensive investment posture if the subadviser believes the investment environment for the Fund is negative. Such a defensive posture would involve reallocating some or all of a Fund's assets in a manner different from that contemplated by its primary investment objective and strategies. Most of the Funds are not limited as to the types of investments they could use temporarily for defensive purposes. Thus, for example, a small cap equity Fund might temporarily invest in stocks of larger cap companies or in high quality, short term debt securities. A bond Fund might shorten maturities or tighten its investment quality parameters. An international Fund might, for example, limit the countries it would invest in or temporarily invest only in high quality, short-term debt securities in the United States. There can be no assurance that the transaction costs and lost investment opportunities will not outweigh any benefits to a Fund that attempts to adopt a defensive strategy. 13 13. Investing With an Index-Based Objective The Equity Index, International Equity Index, and Bond Index Funds expect to invest substantially all of their assets in equity or debt securities within their investment objectives and policies at all times. Accordingly, these Funds may carry more risk in times of declining markets than Funds that are more likely to adopt a defensive investment posture in such circumstances by reallocating their assets in a manner different from that contemplated by their primary investment objective and strategies. Investments in the Equity Index, International Equity Index, and Bond Index Funds each involve the risk that the Fund will be unable to match the performance of its corresponding target index. Each Fund's ability to do so is affected by (a) the size and timing of cash flows into and out of that Fund, (b) the level of the Fund's expenses, including commissions and "spreads," on its portfolio transactions, other portfolio management expenses, and other operating expenses, and (c) the degree of success of the techniques employed by the Fund's subadviser. Further, if the size of a Fund limits the number of issues that the Fund can purchase, or that size is relatively small in relation to cash flows, there is a greater possibility that the Fund may be unable to match the performance of the corresponding target index. The S&P 500 Index: The S&P 500 is an index that is constructed by the Standard & Poor's Corporation ("Standard & Poor's" or "S&P"), which chooses stocks on the basis of market values and industry diversification. Most of the largest 500 companies listed on U.S. stock exchanges are included in the index. Additional stocks that are not among the 500 largest stocks, by market value, may be included in the S&P 500 for diversification purposes. The index is capitalization weighted -- that is, stocks with a larger capitalization (shares outstanding times current price) have a greater weight in the index. Selection of a stock for inclusion in the S&P 500 Index in no way implies an opinion by S&P as to its attractiveness as an investment. The Trust and the insurance products supported by the Trust are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Standard & Poor's.

The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate and Aggregate Bond Indexes: The Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Index (the "Government/Corporate Index") is intended to measure the performance of the domestic, fixed-rate investment grade debt market. The Government/Corporate Index is composed of (1) all public obligations of the U.S. Government, its agencies and instrumentalities (excluding "flower" bonds and pass-through 14 issues, such as GNMA certificates) and (2) all publicly issued, fixed-rate, non- convertible, investment grade, U.S. dollar-denominated, SEC-registered obligations of domestic corporations, foreign governments and supranational organizations. Securities in the index generally have at least $150 million par amount outstanding and at least 1 year remaining to maturity. The Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the "Aggregate Bond Index") covers the U.S. investment grade fixed-rate bond market, including government and corporate securities, agency mortgage pass-through securities, and asset- backed securities. The Aggregate Bond Index covers those securities in the Government/Corporate Index, plus those covered by the Lehman Mortgage-Backed Securities Index ("MBS Index") the Lehman Commercial Mortgage-Backed Securities (ERISA Eligible) Index ("CMBS (ERISA Eligible) Index"), and the Lehman Asset- Backed Securities Index ("ABS Index"). The MBS Index covers fixed-rate securities backed by mortgage pools of the Government National Mortgage Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association, and the Federal National Mortgage Association. The CMBS (ERISA Eligible) Index covers ERISA- Eligible CMBS securities. The ABS Index covers several subsectors -- including credit and charge cards, auto, utilities and home equity loans -- and includes pass-through, "bullet," and controlled amortization structures. All non-government issues in the Government/Corporate Index and the Aggregate Bond Index are rated at least Baa by Moody's Investors Service, Inc. ("Moody's") or, if unrated by Moody's, BBB by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group ("Standard & Poor's"). All securities in the Government/Corporate Index and the Aggregate Bond Index issued by non-U.S. entities are denominated in U.S. dollars. Lehman Brothers, Inc. is neither a sponsor of nor in any other way affiliated with the Trust or the insurance products supported by the Trust. Inclusion of a security in the Government/Corporate or Aggregate Bond Indexes in no way implies an opinion of Lehman Brothers, Inc. as to its attractiveness or appropriateness as an investment. The MSCI EAFE GDP Index: The MSCI EAFE GDP Index weights countries such that a country with a larger GDP will have a greater weight in the index. Stocks within those countries are capitalization weighted; that is, stocks with a larger capitalization have a greater weight in the index. The Trust and the insurance products supported by the Trust are not sponsored, endorsed, sold or promoted by Morgan Stanley Capital International ("MSCI"). MSCI makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, to the owners of the Trust, or any member of the public regarding the advisability of investing in funds generally or in the Trust or any Fund particularly, or the ability of the MSCI EAFE GDP Index to track general stock market performance.

Investing on a Non-Diversified Basis The Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Mid Cap Growth and Global Balanced Funds are "non-diversified Funds." Non-diversified Funds are less restricted in the extent to which they may invest more than 5% of their assets in any issuer or purchase more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer. Because a relatively high percentage of a non-diversified Fund's assets may be invested in the obligations of a limited number of issuers, the value of that Fund's shares may be more volatile and more susceptible to any single economic, political, or regulatory event, or to credit and market risks associated with a single issuer, than would the shares of a diversified Fund. 15. Using Options (Generally) Most of the Funds may, in varying degrees, use options on the following (which, for simplicity, may be referred to as the "subject" of an option): currencies, securities, equity indexes, interest rate indexes, and financial futures contracts. This Section 15. discusses certain characteristics and risks that are generally common to all of these types of options. The Funds' use of specific types is discussed in Sections [7. - 8. above and 16. - 20. below], including characteristics and risks peculiar to those types of options or the Funds' use of them. Purchasing "call" options: If a Fund (or anyone else) "purchases" a "call" option, it pays a purchase price (often called a "premium") plus, in most cases, a commission to the broker through whom the purchase was made. In return the Fund (or other purchaser) has the right (but not the obligation), at or before a specified future time (called the "expiration date"), to acquire a specified amount of the option's subject (or the economic equivalent thereof) at a specified price (called the "strike price" or "exercise price"). If the purchaser of an option decides to exercise this right, we say the option has been "exercised." If an option is never exercised before its expiration date, it expires unexercised. A Fund (or other purchasers of a call option) may profit in one of two ways. First, the Fund may be able to exercise the call option at a date when the value of the option's subject exceeds the purchase price of the option (including any brokerage commission) plus the exercise price. Whether the Fund will be able to do this depends on how favorable those prices were and how the value of the option's subject has changed since the option was purchased. Secondly, a Fund may profit from purchasing an option if the Fund is able to sell the option (unexercised) at a profit sometime before its expiration date. (As a practical matter, such a sale would generally be accomplished by having the Fund sell (e.g., "write") an option identical to the option it owns, thereby "netting out" the Fund's exposure to the position.) Whether such a profit will be possible, of course depends on whether the then market price for the option (less any commission payable on the sale) exceeds the option's purchase price (including any related commission). In this regard, one of the general risks of purchasing options is that, for a variety of reasons, the market price of an option usually does not vary in the same way or to the same extent as the value of the option's subject varies. Therefore, a Fund can lose money purchasing a call option, even if the value of the option's subject increases. The basic risk in purchasing an option is that, if the Fund never exercises or sells the option at a profit, the Fund will lose the entire purchase price of the option (plus any related commissions). That is the maximum amount the Fund could lose, however. 16 Selling or "writing" call options: Selling an option is commonly referred to as "writing" an option. If the Fund (or anyone else) sells ("writes") a call option, it receives the premium (less any commission) paid by the option's purchaser and has the obligation to sell the option's subject to the purchaser at the exercise price if the purchaser exercises the option before it expires. The Fund can make a profit writing a call option if the purchaser fails to exercise the option (which usually would happen only if the value of the option's subject were below the exercise price). In this case, the option's purchase price (net of any commissions) would be a profit to the Fund. Alternatively, a Fund could profit from writing a call option if it is able to subsequently purchase an identical option that would close out the Fund's position at a profit. This could be done only if the market price of the option then exceeded the Fund's initial purchase price by an amount greater than any commissions payable by the Fund on the purchase or sale transactions. There is a risk, however, that a Fund may be unable to do this, even if the value of the call option's subject has declined. This is because, as noted above, the value of an option does not vary in identical fashion to the value of the option's subject. The risk of writing a call option is that, if the value of the option's subject exceeds the option's exercise price, the option is almost sure to be exercised. In that case, the Fund will suffer a loss to the extent that the premium it received for writing the option (net of any commissions), plus the exercise price it receives are less than the value of the option's subject at the time of exercise. Therefore, the higher the value of the option's subject rises, the greater the Fund's potential loss on an option it has written. A Fund could cut off its further exposure in such a case by purchasing an identical call option that would close out its position. The Fund would, however, probably realize a loss on the transaction, because the purchase price it would have to pay for that call option would probably have increased to reflect the increasing value of the option's subject. Writing options on a "covered" basis. One way for a Fund to limit its risk exposure on call options it has written is to "cover." A call option may be considered "covered" if, as long as the option is outstanding, the writer (seller) of the option owns assets that are identical to, or have the same or similar investment characteristics to, the option's subject. In such a case, if the value of the option's subject increases, the losses that the Fund will incur on the call option it has written will tend to be offset by gains that Fund earns on the assets it is holding to "cover" the option. Naturally, the more similar the assets held by the fund are to the option's subject, the more assurance the Fund will have that its losses on call options it has written will be "covered." How similar those assets must be varies depending on the Fund and the type of covered option involved. More details in this regard can be found in Sections 16. - 19. below. Purchasing and selling (writing) "put" options: A "put" option is the same as a call option, except that a Fund (or any other person) that purchases a put option, by paying the purchase price ("premium") has the right to sell (rather than buy) the option's subject for a stated exercise ("strike") price. Conversely, the seller (writer) of a put option receives the premium (net of any commissions) but has the obligation to purchase the option's subject at its exercise price if the option is exercised. Thus, if a Fund purchases a put option, its maximum potential loss would equal the purchase price (plus any commissions thereon). On the other hand, if a Fund sells (writes) a put option, the Fund could continue to experience continuing losses while the option is outstanding, to the extent that the value of the subject of the option continues to decline. If the subject lost its value entirely, the Fund's maximum loss would equal the exercise price less the premium (net of any commissions) that the Fund received initially for writing the option. Because of this risk exposure, a Fund that writes a put option may seek to "cover" that option with other assets that it owns. More details about this can be found in Section 16. - 19. below. Accounting for options: The value of any option that the Fund has purchased, and the amount of the Fund's obligation under any outstanding option it has written, will vary as market prices change. These variations are reflected daily in the Fund's calculation of its net asset value, so that such value always reflects the estimated impact of current market conditions on all of the Fund's option positions. 17 16. Using Options on Securities in Certain Conservative Investment Strategies Except as otherwise noted below, the general discussion of options in Section 15. above applies to this Section 16. Each of the Funds may write covered call options that are traded on national securities exchanges, except for the Growth & Income, Real Estate Equity, and Money Market Funds. By "covered" we mean that the Fund will actually own the securities that are the subject of the option. The same Funds may purchase "protective" put options that are traded on national securities exchanges. By "protective", we mean that the Fund will actually own the securities that are the subject of the option. If the market value of such underlying securities remains above the option's exercise price, the Fund will, in effect, lose the premium it has paid for the option. The Fund, however, avoids the risk of loss on the underlying securities, to the extent that the market value of the underlying securities falls below the exercise price of the put option. Liquidity risk: The Funds intend to write and purchase options only if the subadviser believes that adequate liquidity exists. If for any reason a Fund cannot, however, close out its open option position when deemed advisable, the Fund's investment performance could be adversely affected. 17. Using Financial Futures Contracts, Options on Such Contracts and Options on Stock Indexes (General Considerations) Most of the Funds may, in varying degrees use financial futures contracts, options on such futures and options on stock indexes. This Section 17 discusses certain characteristics and risks that generally pertain to these instruments, regardless of the specific use to which they are put. The Funds' specific uses are discussed in Sections 7. - 8. above and 18. - 20. below, including specific risks related to those risks. Financial futures contracts: Financial futures contracts consist of interest rate futures contracts, stock index futures contracts, and currency futures contracts. An interest rate futures contract is a contract to buy or sell specified debt securities at a future time for a fixed price. A public market currently exists for interest rate futures contracts on United States Treasury Bills, United States Treasury Notes, bank certificates of deposit, and various other domestic or foreign instruments and indexes. Stock index futures contracts bind purchaser and seller to delivery at a future date specified in the contract of a cash amount equal to a multiple of the difference between the value of a specified stock index on that date and settlement price specified by the contract. That is, the seller of the futures contract must pay and the purchaser would receive a multiple of any excess of the value of the index over the settlement price, and the purchaser must pay and the seller would receive a multiple of any excess of the settlement price over the value of the index. A public market currently exists for stock index futures contracts based on the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, the Standard & Poor's Midcap Index, the New York Stock Exchange Composite Index, the Value Line Stock Index, and various other domestic or foreign indexes. A currency futures contract is a contract to buy or sell a specified amount of another currency at a future time for a fixed price. Options on financial futures contracts: The writer of an option on a financial futures contract agrees to assume a position in such financial futures contract having a specified price, if the purchaser exercises the option and thereby assumes the opposite position in the financial futures contract. If the option purchaser would assume the sale side of the futures contract upon exercise of the option, the option is commonly called a "put" option. If the option writer would assume the sale side, it is commonly called a "call" option. As with other types of options, the party that writes the option receives a premium for doing so, and the party that purchases an option pays a premium therefor. However, there is no exercise (or strike) price, as such. Rather, if the value of the futures contract moves 18 against the writer of the option, so that the option is (or is likely to be) exercised, the option writer, in effect, has the obligation to pay those losses. More specifically, an option written by a Fund on a financial futures contract requires the Fund to pay any amount by which the fluctuating price of the underlying debt instrument or index exceeds (in the case of a call option) or is less than (in the case of a put option) the price specified in the futures contract to which the option relates. Therefore, if the price of the debt instrument or stock index on which the futures contract is based increases (in the case of a call option written by a Fund) or decreases (in the case of a put option written by a Fund), the Fund may incur losses that exceed the amount of the premium received by the Fund for writing the option. Stock index options: After payment of a specified premium at the time a stock index option is entered into, the purchaser of a stock index call option obtains the right to receive a sum of money upon exercise of the option equal to a multiple of the excess of a specified stock index on the exercise date over the exercise or "strike" price specified by the option. The purchaser of a put option obtains the right to receive a sum of money upon exercise of the option equal to a multiple of any excess of the strike price over the stock index. The writer of a call or put stock index option receives a premium, but has the obligation, upon exercise of the option, to pay a multiple of the difference between the index and the strike price. Thus, if the price of the stock index on which an index option is based increases (in the case of a call option written by a Fund) or decreases (in the case of a put option written by a Fund), the Fund may incur losses that exceed the premium it received for writing the option. Stock indexes for which options are currently traded include the Standard & Poor's 100 and Standard & Poor's 500 Indexes. Margin requirements for futures and options: When futures contracts are traded, both buyer and seller are required to post an initial margin of cash or U.S. Treasury Bills equaling as much as 5 to 10 percent or more of the contract settlement price. The nature of the margin requirements in futures transactions differs from traditional margin payments made in securities transactions in that margins for futures contracts do not involve the borrowing of funds by the customer to finance the transaction. Instead, a customer's margin on a futures contract represents a good faith deposit securing the customer's contractual obligations under the futures contract. If the market moves against the Trust, so that a Fund has a net loss on its outstanding futures contracts for a given day, the Fund generally will be required to post additional margin to that extent. The margin deposit is returned, assuming the Trust's obligations have been met, when the futures contract is terminated. Similar margin requirements will apply in connection with any transactions in which a Fund writes any options. This includes options on indexes and futures contracts, as well as other types of options. Certain risks: Financial futures, options thereon, and stock index options, if used by a Fund, will in most cases be based on securities or stock indexes the components of which are not identical to the portfolio securities owned or intended to be acquired by the Fund and in connection with which such instruments are used. Furthermore, due to supply and demand imbalances and other market factors, the price movements of financial futures, options thereon, and stock index options do not necessarily correspond exactly to the price movements of the securities, currencies, or stock index on which such instruments are based. These factors increase the difficulty of implementing a successful strategy using futures and options contracts. The Funds generally will not take delivery of debt instruments pursuant to purchasing an interest rate futures contract, nor make a delivery of debt instruments pursuant to selling an interest rate futures contract. Nor will the Funds necessarily take delivery of or deliver currencies in connection with currency futures contracts. Instead, a Fund will more typically close out such futures positions by entering into closing futures contract transactions. Similarly, a Fund may wish to close out an option on a futures contract or an option on an index by entering into an offsetting position in those instruments. Generally speaking, entering into closing transactions such as described immediately above would not affect gains and losses of the Fund resulting from market action prior to such closing transactions. Moreover, there is a risk that, at the time a Fund wishes to enter into such a closing transaction, trading in futures or options could be interrupted, for example, because of supply and demand imbalances arising from a lack of either buyers or sellers. 19 The futures and options exchanges also may suspend trading after the price has risen or fallen more than the maximum amount specified by the exchange. Exercise of options could also be restricted or delayed because of regulatory restrictions or other factors. Although the subadvisers will seek to avoid situations where these factors would be likely to cause a problem for the Trust, in some cases they could adversely affect particular Fund transactions in these instruments. Asset segregation requirement for certain futures and options positions: A Fund will maintain at all times in a segregated account with its custodian cash or high-grade liquid debt securities at least equal to the sum of the purchase prices of all of the Fund's open futures purchase positions, plus the current value of the securities underlying all of the Fund's open futures sales positions that are maintained for purposes other than bona fide hedging, plus the exercise price of all outstanding put options on futures contracts written by the Fund, minus the amount of margin deposits with respect thereto as marked to market each day. 18. Using Financial Futures, Options Thereon, and Stock Index Options for Certain Hedging-Type Strategies This Section 18. should be read against the background of the generally applicable information about options, futures and related risks that appears in Sections 15. and 17. above. This Section 18. covers all Funds, except the Growth & Income, Real Estate Equity, and Money Market Funds. Specifically, with those exceptions, all Funds may use exchange-traded financial futures contracts thereon, and, except for the Active Bond Fun, they also may purchase exchange-traded put or call options on stock indexes, for the purposes discussed below. It should be emphasized that none of the Funds is required to use any of these strategies, and doing so is not a principal investment strategy of any of the Portfolios. Therefore, it should not be assumed that any particular Fund will ever necessarily use any of these strategies to a significant extent. Hedging with financial futures contracts against market changes: All Funds covered by this Section 18. (except the Equity Index Fund) may use financial futures contracts as a hedge to protect against possible changes in interest rates and security prices. Thus, for example, to hedge against the possibility that interest rates or other factors may result in a general decline in prices of equity securities of a type owned by them, these Funds (other than the Equity Index Fund) may sell stock index futures contracts. Similarly, to hedge against the possibility that increases in interest rates may adversely affect the market values of debt securities held by them, these Funds (other than the Equity Index and Large Cap Value CORE Funds) may enter into interest rate futures sale contracts. Establishing market exposure and managing cash flow with financial futures contracts: On the other hand, purchasing futures contracts could enable a Fund to take the approximate economic equivalent of a substantial position in bonds or equity securities. Thus, the following Funds may purchase and sell stock index and interest rate futures to maintain market exposure and manage cash flows: the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Market Equity, Short-Term Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds. Managing foreign currency exposure with foreign currency futures contracts: Any Fund may use foreign currency futures contracts to the same extent and in the same manner as it is authorized to use forward foreign exchange contracts in Section 6. above. 20 Using options on futures contracts and options on stock indexes for the foregoing purposes: Each Fund that this Section 18. authorizes to use financial futures contracts also may purchase options on appropriate financial futures contracts and (except for the Active Bond Fund) stock indexes for any purpose and to the extent that it could use financial futures contracts as discussed above. Limitations on "long" positions for certain Funds: The Large Cap Value CORE Portfolio may not purchase financial futures contracts, except for currency futures. The following limitation applies to the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value Fundamental Mid Cap Growth and Mid Cap Blend Funds. These Funds may purchase financial futures contracts, purchase call options on financial futures options or purchase call options on equity indexes only if (a) they intend to purchase securities (or, in the case of the Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, and Mid Cap Blend Funds, wish to establish or maintain market exposure to securities that the Fund would be authorized to purchase) and (b) the values of such securities are expected to change by approximately the same amount as the value of the futures or options contracts being used to hedge them. Risks of hedging-type strategies: If, after a Fund establishes a hedge position, the value of the securities or currencies being hedged moves in the opposite direction from that anticipated, the Fund as a whole will perform less well than it would have had it not entered into the futures or option transaction. The success of the Funds in using hedging-type techniques depends, among other things, on the subadviser's ability to predict the direction and volatility of price movements in the futures or options markets, as well as the securities markets and, in some cases, currency markets, and on the subadviser's ability to select the proper type, time and duration of option or futures contracts. Certain of the subadvisers have limited experience in utilizing these hedging-type techniques, and there can be no assurance that these techniques will produce their intended result. The prices of the futures and options contracts used for hedging-type strategies may not vary as contemplated in relation to changes in the price of the securities or currencies being hedged. Accordingly, there is a risk that transactions in these instruments, if used by a Fund, may not in fact offset the impact of adverse market developments in the manner or to the extent contemplated or that such transactions may result in losses to the Fund which would not be offset by gains with respect to corresponding portfolio securities owned or to be purchased by that Fund. Hedging-type transactions also may be more, rather than less, favorable to a Fund than originally anticipated. 19. Using Options and Futures In Potentially More Aggressive Strategies This Section 19. should be read against the background of the generally applicable information about options, futures, and related risks that appears in Section 15., 17. and 18. above. This Section 19. applies only to the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds. The option and futures strategies discussed in this Section are in addition to those discussed for those (and other) Funds in Sections 7., 8., 16., and 18. above. Writing certain types of options: The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, , Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may write "covered" put options on securities. In addition, the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may also write covered put and call options on indexes composed of securities in which the Fund may invest. Such index options may be written in any manner that the Fund in question is authorized to write options on specific securities it owns. 21 A put option written by a Fund will be deemed to be "covered" if the Fund maintains in a segregated account with its custodian cash, U.S. Government securities or other high-grade liquid debt securities with a value at all times at least equal to the exercise price of the put. Put and call options written by Funds will also be considered to be "covered" to the extent that the Fund's liabilities under these options are fully offset by its rights under put or call options purchased by the Fund. Purchasing certain types of options. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may purchase put and call options on securities in which it may invest, without specific restriction as to the circumstances of such purchases. Similarly, each of these Funds, as well as the Small/Mid Cap Growth and Short- Term Bond Funds, may purchase put and call options on indexes composed of securities in which the Fund may invest, without specific restriction on the circumstances of such purchases. Option purchases of the type covered in the preceding paragraph would have to be consistent with the Fund's investment objective. Also, each of the above-listed Funds is subject to the limitation on certain futures and options transactions described in Section 20. Using options traded over-the-counter or on foreign exchanges: The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may also use options on securities and options on indexes that are traded "over-the-counter" or on foreign exchanges, in any manner that they would be permitted to use such options that were traded on domestic exchanges. These Funds will engage in over-the-counter options only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and primary dealers in U.S. Government securities. These Funds will treat over-the-counter options they have purchased and assets used to cover over-the-counter options they have written as illiquid securities. However, with respect to options written with primary dealers in U.S. Government securities pursuant to an agreement requiring a closing purchase transaction at a formula price, the amount of illiquid securities may be calculated with reference to the formula price. Using futures contracts and options on futures contracts for certain purposes: The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Core Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may use futures contracts on securities or on market indexes, and options on such futures contracts, without specific restriction on the purposes of such transactions. Nevertheless, such transactions would have to be consistent with the Fund's investment objective. There is no specific overall limit on the amount of the assets these Funds may devote to financial futures contracts and options thereon, even if such contracts are not limited to hedging-type transactions. Nevertheless (except through the purchase of options, as discussed below) the Funds will not use these techniques for purpose of "leveraging" the Fund's exposure to the securities underlying any futures contract or option thereon or its exposure to foreign currencies. Although this limitation does not apply to options on futures contracts that are purchased by a Fund, the total amount of premiums paid by a Fund for such options that are not used for bona fide hedging is (pursuant to the restrictions set forth in Section 20. below) limited to 5% of the Fund's net assets. Risks of potentially more aggressive options and futures strategies: As outlined above, the Funds discussed in this Section 19. may engage in types of options and futures transactions not permitted to the other Funds, including over-the-counter options, writing covered put options, and more types of transactions that are not solely for hedging-type purposes or that other may be more speculative. Also, even as to options and futures transactions of a type that are permitted to other Funds, these Funds are, in certain cases, not as limited regarding the amount of their assets that may be so employed. Accordingly, to the extent that these Funds exercise their broader authority to enter into options and futures transactions, they may incur greater risks than the other Funds. 22 20. Limiting the Funds' Exposure to Certain Futures and Option Transactions. The Equity Index, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value, and International Opportunities Funds will not enter into any financial futures contract or purchase any option thereon, if, immediately thereafter, the total amount of its assets required by commodities exchanges to be on deposit as margin to secure its obligations under futures contracts, plus the amount of premiums paid by the Fund for outstanding options to purchase futures contracts, exceeds 5% of the market value of the Fund's total assets. The following limitation applies to all of the Funds that can invest in financial futures contracts or options thereon, other than the Equity Index, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value and International Opportunities Funds: No such other Fund may purchase, sell or write futures contracts or options thereon other than for "bonafide" hedging purposes (as defined by the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission) if immediately thereafter the Fund's initial margin deposits on such outstanding non-hedging futures and options positions, plus the amount of premiums paid by the Fund for such outstanding non-hedging options on futures contracts, exceeds 5% of the market value of the Fund's net assets. For the purpose of this calculation, any amount by which an option is "in the money" at the time of its purchase is excluded from the premium paid therefor. Nor will any of the Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, Small Cap Value or International Equity Funds enter into any transaction in interest rate, stock index or currency futures, or options thereon, or stock index options, if the value of the securities being hedged by all of such instruments would immediately thereafter be more than one-third of the value of the Fund's total assets. Nor will any Fund consider as "hedging" any transaction that is intended to leverage the Fund's investment exposure to the type of security being hedged or to leverage the Fund's currency exposure. 21. Using Other Types of Derivative Instruments The Global Balanced, International Equity Index, and High Yield Bond Funds may engage in "swap" transactions (specifically interest rate, currency and index swaps) and in the purchase or sale of related "caps," "floors," or "collars." The Emerging Markets Equity Fund may also engage in those transactions and, in addition, may engage in equity swap transactions. The Managed and Aggressive Balanced Funds may each invest up to 10% of the respective Fund's total assets (at the time the swap is entered into) in currency and equity swaps for hedging purposes or for currency management strategies as discussed in Section 6 above. The International Equity Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets (at the time the swap is entered into) in currency and equity swaps, although it will use currency swaps only for hedging purposes. The Global Bond Fund may also use these derivative instruments, but only for currency management strategies as discussed in Section 6. above. The nature and risks of these types of transactions are discussed further in the paragraphs that follow. Interest rate swaps: In a typical interest rate swap agreement, one party agrees to make payments equal to a floating interest rate on a specified amount (the "notional amount") in return for payments equal to a fixed interest rate on the same amount for a specified period. If a swap agreement provides for payments in different currencies, the parties might agree to exchange the notional amount as well. Provided the contract so permits, a Fund will usually enter into swaps on a "net" basis: that is, the two payment streams are netted out in a cash settlement on the payment date or dates specified in the instrument, with the Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Interest rate caps, floors and collars: The purchaser of an interest rate cap or floor, upon payment of a fee, has the right to receive payments (and the seller of the cap is obligated to make payments) to the extent a specified interest rate exceeds (in the case of a cap) or is less than (in the case of a floor) a specified level over a specified period of time or at specified dates. The purchaser of an interest rate collar, upon payment of a fee, has the right to receive payments (and the seller of the collar is obligated to make payments) to the extent that a specified interest rate falls outside an agreed upon range over a specified period of time or at specified dates. 23 Currency, index and equity swaps, caps, floors and collars: Currency, index, and equity swaps, caps, floors, and collars are similar to those for interest rates described in the two preceding paragraphs above, except that, rather than being determined by variations in specified interest rates, the obligations of the parties are determined by variations in a specified currency, interest rate index, or equity index, as the case may be. Risks and purposes of these other derivatives: The amount of a Fund's potential gain or loss on any swap transaction is not subject to any fixed limit. Nor is there any fixed limit on the Fund's potential loss if it sells a cap, floor or collar. If a Fund buys a cap, floor or collar, however, the Fund's potential loss is limited to the amount of the fee that it has paid. Swaps, caps, floors and collars tend to be more volatile than many other types of investments. Nevertheless, a Fund will use these techniques only as a risk management tool and not for purposes of leveraging the Fund's market exposure or its exposure to changing interest rates, security values or currency values. Rather, a Fund will use these transactions only to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its investments, to protect against currency fluctuations, as a duration management technique, to protect against any increase in the price of securities the Fund anticipates purchasing at a later date, or to gain exposure to certain markets in the most economical way possible. Nor will a Fund sell interest rate caps, floors or collars if it does not own securities providing the interest that the Fund may be required to pay under such derivative instruments. Finally, of course, a Fund may use these derivative instruments only in ways that are consistent with its investment objective. The use of swaps, caps, floors and collars involves investment techniques and risks different from those associated with other portfolio security transactions. If the subadviser is incorrect in its forecasts of market values, interest rates, currency rates and other applicable factors, the investment performance of a Fund will be less favorable than if these techniques had not been used. These instruments are typically not traded on exchanges. Accordingly, there is a heightened risk that the other party to certain of these instruments will not perform its obligations to the Fund. None of the Funds will enter into any swap, cap, floor, or collar, unless the other party to the transaction is deemed creditworthy by the subadviser. There also is a risk that a Fund may be unable to enter into offsetting positions to terminate its exposure or liquidate its investment under certain of these instruments when it wishes to do so. Such occurrences could result in losses to the Fund. In recent years, the swap market has become relatively liquid. Caps, floors and collars are more recent innovations for which standardized documentation has not yet been fully developed and, for that reason, they are less liquid than swaps. The liquidity of swaps, caps, floors and collars will be determined by the subadviser based on various factors, including (1) the frequency of trades and quotations, (2) the number of dealers and prospective purchasers in the marketplace, (3) dealer undertakings to make a market, (4) the nature of the instrument (including any demand or tender features) and (5) the nature of the marketplace for trades (including the ability to assign or offset a Fund's rights and obligations relating to the investment). Such determinations will govern whether the instrument will be deemed within the Fund's 15% restriction on investments in securities that are not readily marketable. Segregation requirements for these derivatives: Each Fund will maintain cash or liquid high grade debt securities in a segregated account with its custodian in an amount sufficient at all times to cover its current obligations under swaps, caps, floors and collars. If a Fund enters into a swap agreement on a net basis, it will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the excess, if any, of the Fund's accrued obligations under the swap agreement over the accrued amount the Fund is entitled to receive under the agreement. If a Fund enters into a swap agreement on other than a net basis, or sells a cap, floor or collar, it will segregate assets with a daily value at least equal to the full amount of the Fund's accrued obligations under the agreement. 24 22. Investing in Other Investment Companies Each Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in shares of other investment companies investing exclusively in securities in which that Fund may otherwise invest. As a shareholder in an investment company, a Fund would bear its ratable share of that investment company's expenses, including advisory and administration fees, except as specifically stated otherwise in the paragraphs that follow. Using other investment companies to gain exposure to certain foreign securities: Because of restrictions on direct investment by U.S. entities in certain countries, other investment companies may provide the most practical (or only way) for a Fund to invest in certain markets. Such investments may involve the payment of substantial premiums above the net asset value of those investment companies' portfolio securities and are subject to limitations under the Investment Company Act of 1940. A Fund also may incur tax liability to the extent it invests in the stock of a foreign issuer that is a "passive foreign investment company," regardless of whether such "passive foreign investment company" makes distributions to the Fund. The Emerging Markets Equity Fund is the most likely to make significant investments in other investment companies to gain exposure to foreign securities; and John Hancock and the subadviser have agreed to waive their own management fees with respect to the portion of that Fund's assets invested in other open-end (but not closed-end) investment companies. (An "open end" company is one whose shares are freely redeemable. A "closed end" company is one whose shares can generally be disposed of only in market transactions, as opposed to redemptions.) The International Equity Index Fund is likely to invest in closed-end investment companies known as "country funds" or passive foreign investment companies. The International Equity Fund may also purchase shares of investment companies investing primarily in foreign securities, including country funds. The Large Cap Value CORE and International Equity Funds may invest in World Equity Benchmark Shares ("WEBS") and other investment company securities that represent a similar interest in securities included in a foreign securities index. (These securities are similar in structure to the SPDR's discussed below.) Investing in Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts (SPDR's): The Equity Index, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, and Small/Mid Cap CORE Funds may, consistent with their investment objectives, purchase Standard & Poor's Depository Receipts ("SPDRs"). SPDRs are American Stock Exchange-traded securities that represent ownership in the SPDR Trust, a trust which has been established to accumulate and hold a portfolio of common stocks that is intended to track the price performance and dividend yield of the S&P 500. This trust is a regulated investment company that is sponsored by a subsidiary of the American Stock Exchange. SPDRs may be used for several reasons, including but not limited to: facilitating the handling of cash flows or trading, or reducing transaction costs. Investing in money market fund shares: A Fund may also invest in money market funds managed by its subadviser in reliance upon an exemptive order received by its subadviser from the SEC. Such exemptive orders may permit funds managed by the subadviser to invest in money market funds managed by it, to an extent in excess of amounts otherwise permitted by the Investment Company Act. The subadviser to the Mid Cap Growth Fund will remit the fees it receives from money market funds it manages, to the extent such fees are based on the Mid Cap Growth Fund's assets, to the Mid Cap Growth Fund. Nor are the Large Cap Value and International Opportunities Funds charged any investment management fees for investments in money market funds managed by their subadvisers. 23. Purchasing "When Issued" Securities and Forward Commitments All Funds (other than the Growth & Income and Money Market Funds) may purchase securities on a when issued or delayed delivery basis. When such transactions are negotiated, the price of such securities is fixed at the time of commitment, but delivery and payment for the securities may take place a month or more after the date of the commitment to purchase. The securities so purchased are subject to market fluctuations, and no interest accrues to the purchaser during this period. 25 In addition, these Funds may make contracts to purchase securities for a fixed price at a future date beyond customary settlement time ("forward commitments"), because new issues of securities are typically offered to investors on that basis. Forward commitments involve a risk of loss if the value of the security to be purchased declines prior to the settlement date. This risk is in addition to the risk of decline in value of the Fund's other assets. Although a Fund will enter into such contracts with the intention of acquiring the securities, the Fund may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if its subadviser deems it appropriate to do so. Asset segregation requirement for these transactions. Each Fund will maintain in a segregated account with its custodian cash or liquid high grade debt securities that at all times equal the amount of its when issued and forward commitments. 24. Short-Term Trading All Funds can use short-term trading of securities as a means of managing their portfolios to achieve their investment objectives. As used herein, "short-term trading" means the purchase and subsequent sale of a security after it has been held for a relatively brief period of time, in some instances for less than three months. A Fund may engage in short-term trading to the extent that the subadviser believes the transactions, net of costs (including commissions, if any), will benefit the Fund. Generally speaking, short-term trading can be expected to generate expenses for a Fund that would not be incurred by a Fund that did not engage in that practice. 25. Entering Into Repurchase Agreements All of the Funds may enter into repurchase agreements. A repurchase agreement is a contract under which a Fund would acquire a security for a relatively short period (e.g., 7 days), subject to the seller's obligation to repurchase the security at a fixed time and price (representing the Fund's cost plus interest). Repurchase agreements will be entered into only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in U.S. Government securities. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Growth & Income, Large Cap Growth, Real Estate Equity, Active Bond and Money Market Funds may not invest in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. No other Fund will invest in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days if that investment, together with any other investments deemed "illiquid," would exceed 15% of the Fund's net assets. Each Fund has a procedure providing that the securities serving as collateral for each repurchase agreement must be delivered to the Fund's custodian or sub-custodian, either physically or in book-entry form, and that the collateral must be marked-to-market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully "collateralized" at all times. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default by a seller of a repurchase agreement, however, the Fund could experience delays in liquidating the underlying securities and could experience losses (including the possible decline in the value of the underlying securities during the period while the Fund seeks to enforce its rights thereto, possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period, and expenses of enforcing its rights). 26. Participating in Joint Trading Accounts John Hancock has established a "joint trading account" that all Funds, in the discretion of their subadvisers, can use to invest relatively small amounts of cash on a more favorable basis than they could do individually. John Hancock is responsible for investing the aggregate cash balances in the joint trading account into one or more repurchase agreements, as described in Section 25. above, or in other money market instruments. The joint trading account was established pursuant to an order of the SEC and the following Funds regularly participate in it: the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Growth & Income, Large Cap Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Real Estate Equity, Small Cap Value, International Equity Index, High Yield Bond and Money Market Funds. Each Fund is also free to participate in any similar joint trading account that their subadviser operates for mutual fund assets managed by it. These other joint trading accounts would be operated pursuant to their own SEC 26 exemptive orders, and the following Funds currently participate in such other joint trading accounts: the Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small Cap Growth, International Equity, and Active Bond Funds. In each case, the subadviser that operates one of these joint trading accounts is responsible for ensuring that all repurchase agreements acquired through these accounts are at all times fully collateralized. 27. Lending of Fund Securities In order to generate additional income, all Funds may, and most do, lend securities from their portfolios to brokers, dealers and financial institutions such as banks and trust companies. Such loans will be secured by collateral consisting of cash or U.S. Government securities, which will be maintained in an amount equal to at least 100% of the current market value of the loaned securities. During the period of the loan, the Fund receives the income (if any) on the loaned securities, as well as additional compensation for making the loan. Cash collateral may be invested in short-term securities, which will increase the current income of the Fund. Such loans will not be for more than 60 days and will be terminable by the Fund at any time. The Fund will have the right to regain record ownership of loaned securities in order to exercise rights of a holder thereof including receiving interest or other distributions or exercising voting rights. The Fund may pay reasonable fees to persons unaffiliated with the Fund for services in arranging such loans. Lending of portfolio securities involves a risk of failure by the borrower to return the loaned securities, in which event the Fund may incur a loss. However, most of the Funds' loans of securities are pursuant to an arrangement with State Street Bank & Trust Company, the Trust's primary custodian. Under these arrangements, State Street Bank & Trust Company guarantees the Trust against any loss or damages that any Fund incurs as a result of the borrower failing to return the Fund's securities in accordance with the terms of the loan. No Fund will lend portfolio securities having a total value in excess of 33 1/3% of its total assets. 28. Using Reverse Repurchase Agreements and Mortgage "Dollar Rolls" The Short-Term Bond and Money Market Funds may enter into reverse repurchase agreements to facilitate portfolio liquidity, a practice common in the mutual fund industry, or for arbitrage transactions (discussed below). In a reverse repurchase agreement, the Fund sells a security and enters into an agreement to repurchase the security at a specified future date, but at a lower price. The Fund generally retains the right to interest and principal payments on the security, as well as use of the proceeds while the repurchase agreement is outstanding. The Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Core Bond, Active Bond, and Global Bond Funds may enter into mortgage dollar rolls, in which the Fund sells mortgage-backed securities for delivery in the current month and simultaneously contracts to purchase substantially similar securities at a specified future date and price. While the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the mortgage-backed securities during the "roll" period, the Fund is compensated by the difference between the current sale price and the lower price for the future purchase as well as by any return earned on the proceeds of the initial sale. The mortgage dollar rolls and reverse repurchase agreements entered into by a Fund may be used as arbitrage transactions in which the Fund will maintain an offsetting position in investment-grade debt obligations or repurchase agreements that mature on or before the settlement date of the related mortgage dollar roll or reverse repurchase agreement. Since the Fund will receive interest on the securities or repurchase agreements in which it invests the transaction proceeds, such transactions could be considered to involve leverage. However, since such securities or repurchase agreements will be high quality and will mature on or before the settlement date of the mortgage dollar roll or reverse repurchase agreement, the Trust does not believe that such arbitrage transactions present the risks to the Fund that are associated with other types of leverage. Asset segregation requirements for reverse repurchase agreements and mortgage dollar rolls: Each Fund will set aside in a segregated account with its custodian liquid assets that at all times are at least equal to its obligations under outstanding reverse repurchase agreements and mortgage dollar rolls it has entered into. 27 29. Investing in Rule 144A and Illiquid Securities All Funds, other than the Growth & Income, Large Cap Growth and Real Estate Equity Funds, may purchase unregistered securities that are eligible for resale to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. Case-by-case determinations are made whether each issue of Rule 144A securities owned by the Fund is an illiquid security. If illiquid, a Rule 144A security may not be purchased by the Money Market Fund. Nor may the Money Market Fund purchase any other investments that are deemed to be illiquid, if the total of all its illiquid assets would be more than 10% of its net assets. Each Fund other than the Money Market Fund, however, may purchase illiquid Rule 144A securities, or other illiquid assets if, and only if, the total of all the Fund's illiquid assets would not thereby be made to exceed 15% of the Fund's net assets. THE FUNDS' FUNDAMENTAL INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS The Funds' investment objectives and strategies may, in general, be changed without the approval of shareholders. In a few cases, however, the Investment Company Act requires such approval. In addition, the Trust has adopted as "fundamental" the below-listed restrictions relating to the investment of each Fund's assets. That these restrictions are "fundamental" policies means that they may not be changed for any Fund without the approval of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of each affected Fund. (The term "majority of the outstanding voting shares" means the lesser of (1) 67% of the shares represented at a meeting at which more than 50% of the outstanding shares are represented or (2) more than 50% of the outstanding shares.) To the extent the Trust's prospectus or this Statement of Additional Information anywhere sets forth investment restrictions more restrictive than the fundamental restrictions described below, the more restrictive limitation controls; but any such more restrictive limitation may be changed without any shareholder approval, subject to the below fundamental restrictions. As a matter of fundamental policy, no Fund will: (1) Purchase real estate or any interest therein, except through the purchase of corporate or certain government securities (including securities secured by a mortgage or a leasehold interest or other interest in real estate). A security issued by a real estate or mortgage investment trust or an interest in a pool of real estate mortgage loans is not treated as an interest in real estate. Investments of the type permitted in the Real Estate Equity Fund are not deemed interests in real estate for the purposes of this restriction. (2) Make loans, other than through the acquisition of obligations in which the Fund may invest consistent with its objective and investment policies, except that each Fund may lend portfolio securities not having a value in excess of 33 1/3% of the Fund's total assets. (3) Invest in commodities or in commodity contracts or in puts, calls or a combination of both, except that (A) the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may 28 (i) write call options on, and purchase put options covered by, securities held by them and purchase and sell options to close out positions thus established, provided that no such covered call or put option position will be established in the Large Cap Growth Fund if more than one-third of the Fund's total assets would immediately thereafter be subject to such call and put options, (ii) purchase options on stock indexes and write such options to close out positions previously established, and (iii) enter into financial futures contracts or purchase options on such contracts, and effect offsetting transactions to close out such positions previously established; provided that, (a) as to the Large Cap Value, Large Cap Growth, Mid Cap Value, and Small Cap Value Funds, no position in financial futures, options thereon or options on securities indexes will be established if, immediately thereafter, the then-current aggregate value of all securities owned or to be acquired by the Fund which are hedged by such instruments exceeds one-third of the value of its total assets and (b) as to such Funds, and as to the Equity Index and International Opportunities Funds, no futures position or position in options on futures will be established if, immediately thereafter, the total of the initial margin deposits required by commodities exchanges with respect to all open futures positions at the time such positions were established, plus the sum of the premiums paid for all unexpired options on futures contracts would exceed 5% of the Fund's total assets; (B) with respect to the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Core Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds, forward foreign exchange contracts, forward commitments, and when issued securities are not deemed to be commodities or commodity contracts or puts or calls for the purposes of this restriction; (C) the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may, in addition to the activities permitted in (A) and (B) above, (i) write put and call options on securities and market indexes, if such positions are covered by other securities or outstanding put and call positions of the Fund, and purchase put and call options to close out any positions thus established, and (ii) enter into futures contracts on securities or market indexes, or purchase or write put or call options on such futures contracts, for hedging or speculative (non-hedging) purposes, and enter into offsetting transactions to close out any positions thus established; provided that none of these Funds may purchase, sell or write such futures or options other than for bona fide hedging purposes if immediately thereafter the Fund's margin deposits on such non-hedging positions, plus the amount of premiums paid for outstanding options on futures contracts that are not for bona fide hedging purposes (less any amount by which any such option is "in the money" at the time of purchase) exceeds 5% of the market value of the Fund's net assets; (D) the Active Bond and Core Bond Funds may enter into futures contracts and purchase or write options thereon to the same extent as is permitted in (C), above, with respect to the Funds listed therein; and 29 (E) the Managed, Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Core Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds may purchase or write put or call options on foreign currencies, may purchase put or call options on securities, and may enter into closing transactions with respect to any of such options. (4) Engage in the underwriting of securities of other issuers, except to the extent the Fund may be deemed an underwriter in selling as part of an offering registered under the Securities Act of 1933 securities which it has acquired. (5) Borrow money, except from banks as a temporary measure where such borrowings would not exceed 5% of the market value of total assets of the Fund as of the time each such borrowing is made, or 10% as to the Aggressive Balanced, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Fundamental Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap CORE, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Bond Index, Core Bond and High Yield Bond Funds, subject to a non- fundamental policy that none of these Funds will make additional investments at any time when such borrowings plus any amounts payable by the Fund under reverse repurchase agreements exceed 5% of that Fund's total assets. (6) Except as set forth in the following sentence, neither the Managed and Active Bond Funds, nor the Growth & Income, Large Cap Growth, Real Estate Equity, or Money Market Funds may purchase securities which are subject to legal or contractual delays in or restrictions on resale. The Managed and Active Bond Funds may, however, purchase restricted securities, including those eligible for resale to "qualified institutional buyers" pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, subject to a non fundamental restriction limiting all illiquid securities held by each Fund to not more than 15% of the Trust's net assets. (7) Purchase securities on margin, except for short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of purchases or sales of securities, or effect a short sale of any security. Neither the use of futures contracts as permitted by restriction (3), above nor the use of option contracts as permitted by restriction (3) above, shall be deemed to be the purchase of a security on margin. (8) Invest for the purpose of exercising control over or management of any company. (9) Unless received as a dividend or as a result of an offer of exchange approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") or of a plan of reorganization, purchase or otherwise acquire any security issued by an investment company if the Fund would immediately thereafter own (a) more than 3% of the outstanding voting stock of the investment company, (b) securities of the investment company having an aggregate value in excess of 5% of the Fund's total assets, (c) securities of investment companies having an aggregate value in excess of 10% of the Fund's total assets, or (d) together with investment companies having the same investment adviser as the Fund (and companies controlled by such investment companies), more than 10% of the outstanding voting stock of any registered closed-end investment company. A real estate or mortgage investment trust is not considered an investment company. This restriction (9) does not apply to the Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, International Equity, Global Balanced, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Bond Index, Core Bond, Global Bond, or High Yield Bond Funds. (10) Purchase securities of any issuer, if (a) with respect to 75% of the market value of its total assets, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets taken at market value would at the time be invested in the securities of such issuer, unless such issuer is the United States Government or its agency or instrumentality, or (b) such purchase would result in more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer being held by the Fund. This restriction (10) does not apply to the Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Mid Cap Growth or Global Balanced Funds. 30 (11) Issue senior securities. For the purposes of this restriction, the following shall not be deemed to be the issuance of a senior security: the use of futures contracts as permitted by restriction (3), above; the use of option contracts as permitted by restriction (3), above; and the use of foreign currency contracts. The Aggressive Balanced, Equity Index, Large Cap Value, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Small/Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small Cap Value, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced, International Equity Index, International Equity, International Opportunities, International Opportunities II, Emerging Markets Equity, Short-Term Bond, Bond Index, Active Bond, Core Bond, Global Bond, and High Yield Bond Funds will not purchase the securities of issuers conducting their principal business activity in the same industry if, immediately after such purchase, the value of the Trust's investments in such industry would exceed 25% of its total assets taken at market value. For the purpose of this restriction, telephone, water, gas and electric public utilities are each regarded as separate industries, and wholly-owned finance companies are considered to be in the industry of their parents if their activities are primarily related to financing the activities of their parent. In conformity with its understanding of current interpretations of the Investment Company Act by the staff of the SEC, the Trust, as a non-fundamental policy, interprets this limitation not to apply to securities issued by the Federal government, or state and local governments within the U.S., or political subdivisions thereof; but this exception does not apply to securities of foreign government entities. If these interpretations change, however, the Trust may modify its practices to conform to such changes. For purposes of any restrictions or limitation to which the Trust is subject, no Fund, by entering into any futures contract or acquiring or writing any option thereon or on any security or market index, shall be deemed (1) to have acquired or invested in any securities of any exchange or clearing corporation for any such instrument or (2) to have acquired or invested in any debt obligations or in any stocks comprising indexes on which such instrument is based, but which the Fund does not hold directly in its portfolio. BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND OFFICERS OF THE TRUST The Board of Trustees of the Trust is responsible for overall management of the Trust. The Board may exercise all powers of the Trust, except those powers which are conferred solely upon or reserved to the shareholders.

Certain members of the Trust's Board of Trustees may own either variable annuity contracts or variable life insurance policies that are supported by one of the Separate Accounts and, in that sense, have an interest in shares of the Trust. The combined interest of all the Trust's officers and Trustees, however, does not aggregate as much as 1% of any Fund's net assets. Compensation paid by the Trust to its current disinterested Trustees during 1999 was as follows: Ms. Cook $46,600.00 Ms. Kessler $30,550.00 Mr. Verdonk $30,250.00 The Trust paid no compensation to any other officer or Trustee. 32 INVESTMENT ADVISORY ARRANGEMENTS The Trust's Investment Advisory Arrangements With John Hancock John Hancock, the Trust's investment adviser, is a Massachusetts corporation. Until February 1, 2000, John Hancock was a mutual life insurance company. Now, it is a subsidiary of John Hancock Financial Services, Inc., a publicly-traded holding company. John Hancock provides advisory services to the Fund pursuant to several investment advisory agreements. Each Fund is party to one of these investment advisory agreements with John Hancock.

John Hancock also provides the Trust with office space, supplies and other facilities required for the business of the Trust. John Hancock pays the compensation of Trust officers and employees and the expenses of clerical services relating to the administration of the Trust. To the extent that any administrative or legal services for the Trust are provided by John Hancock's Law Department, however, John Hancock charges the Trust separately, and the Trust pays such charges in accordance with the terms of the investment advisory agreements. All other expenses not expressly assumed by John Hancock under the investment advisory agreements are paid by the Trust. These include, but are not limited to, the Trust's taxes (if any); custodian fees; auditing fees; brokerage commissions; advisory fees; the compensation of Trustees who are not affiliated with John Hancock; the Trust's fidelity bond coverage; the costs of printing and distributing annual and semi-annual reports and voting materials to holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies that participate in the Trust; tabulating votes; fees for certain accounting, valuation, and compliance services; legal fees; SEC registration costs; proxy costs; costs of organizing any new Funds; and other expenses related to the Trust's operations.

("Signator") serves as the Trust's principal underwriter, and John Hancock provides certain indemnities to the Trust and its Trustees. Neither Signator nor John Hancock receives any additional compensation from the Trust for the services and indemnities they provide pursuant to the Underwriting and Indemnity Agreement. The offering of the Trust's shares through Signator is a continuous offering on a "best efforts" basis. Signator is a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock and is located at 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, MA 02117. Custody of the Trust's Assets State Street Bank and Trust Company ("State Street Bank") is the primary custodian of the assets of all Funds. State Street Bank's principal business address is 225 Franklin Street, Boston MA 02110. The primary custodian's duties include safeguarding and controlling the Trust's cash and investments, handling the receipt and delivery of securities, and collecting interest and dividends on the Trust's investments. Fund securities purchased in the United States are maintained in the custody of State Street Bank, although such securities may be deposited in the book-entry system of the Federal Reserve System, with Depository Trust Company, or with other qualified domestic book-entry systems or depositories. Also, pursuant to its agreement with the Trust, State Street Bank provides certain accounting and recordkeeping services to the Trust and generally values the Trust's assets by computing each Fund's net asset value each day. The Trust compensates State Street Bank for these functions through the payment of an annual custody asset fee of .01% of the total net assets of the Trust, allocated to each Fund based on the percentage of that Fund's total net assets to the total net assets of the Trust; miscellaneous transaction charges ranging from $7.00 to $25.00; global asset and transaction fees that vary by the country in which a Fund's assets are held or traded; a monthly accounting fee charge that is allocated to each Fund based on the percentage of that Fund's total net assets to the total net assets of the Trust; valuation and monthly quote charge; special service fees for activities of a non-recurring nature; and reimbursement of specified out-of-pocket expenses. Foreign securities are generally held through subcustodian banks and depositories around the world with whom State Street Bank has relationships. In some cases, Funds whose securities are held in this manner may be exposed to greater risks of loss. This is because the soundness of such foreign entities, as well as foreign regulatory practices and procedures, may provide less protection to security holders than is available in the U.S. In certain circumstances, brokers may have access to assets that a Fund posts as "margin" in connection with futures and options transactions. In the event of a broker's insolvency or bankruptcy, a Fund could experience a delay or incur costs in recovering such assets or might recover less than the full amount due. Also the value of such assets could decline by the time the Trust could effect such recovery. 41 If on any day a Fund experiences net realized or unrealized gains with respect to financial futures contracts held through a given broker, it will be entitled immediately to receive from the broker the net amount of such gains. The Trust will request payment of such amounts promptly after notification by the broker that such amounts are due. Thereupon, these assets will be deposited in the Trust's general or segregated account with its primary custodian, as appropriate. Subadministration Agreement With State Street Bank Pursuant to a subadministration agreement, with the Trust, State Street Bank also provides assistance to John Hancock and the subadvisers in computing total return information for the Trust and in monitoring each Fund's compliance with the Fund's investment objectives and restrictions, as well as compliance with certain other applicable legal requirements, . The Trust compensates State Street Bank for these services through payment of an annual fee that accrues daily and is billed monthly in arrears. The annual fee is based on the average net assets of the Trust and is 0.012% of the first $1 billion of average net assets, 0.0075% of the next $1 of average net assets, and 0.0025% of average net assets after that. Each Fund is allocated the greater of a minimum monthly Fund fee or the basis point annual fee, based on the pro-rata total net asset value of that Fund. The minimum monthly Fund fee is phased-in for new Funds at the rate of 1/12 in month one, 2/12th in month two, increasing incrementally per month until the full monthly minimum is in effect in month 12 ($1,333). Independent Auditors Ernst & Young LLP, 200 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts, are the independent auditors of the Trust. Ernst & Young audits the financial statements of the Trust, prepares the Trust's tax returns, and renders other advice to the Trust concerning accounting and tax matters. Ernst & Young also meets periodically with the Trust's Board and with the Audit Committee of the Board to discuss matters within the scope of Ernst & Young's activities with respect to the Trust. PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS AND BROKERAGE ALLOCATION The Funds pay brokers' commissions, transfer taxes, and other fees relating to their specific portfolio transactions. (Investments in debt securities are, however, generally traded on a "net" basis through issuers or dealers acting for their own account as principals and not as brokers. Therefore, no brokerage commissions are payable on most such transactions, although the price to the Trust usually reflects a dealer "spread" or "mark-up.") Amounts of Brokerage Paid Brokerage commissions paid by the Funds were as follows for the past three years: Fund 1999 1998 1997 - ---- ---- -------- ---- Aggressive Balanced ............ $ 4,424 $ -- $ -- Managed ........................ 2,385,643 1,843,929 1,626,154 Growth & Income ................ 4,741,953 2,673,170 1,646,997 Equity Index ................... 61,865 33,797 31,076 Large Cap Value ................ 110,393 63,944 45,619 Large Cap Value CORE ........... 3,240 -- -- Large Cap Growth ............... 1,389,454 815,587 680,933 Large Cap Aggressive Growth .... 11,885 -- -- Large/Mid Cap Value ............ 6,876 -- -- Mid Cap Value .................. 383,634 495,154 122,108 Mid Cap Growth ................. 245,913 146,033 71,998 Real Estate Equity ............. 122,021 177,186 122,897 Fundamental Mid Cap Growth ..... 3,082 -- -- Mid Cap Blend .................. 5,586 -- -- 42 Fund - continued 1999 1998 1997 - ---------------- ---- ---- ---- Small/Mid Cap Value ............. 21,848 -- -- Small/Mid Cap CORE .............. 12,371 7,225 -- Small/Mid Cap Growth ............ 621,068 893,945 1,876,203 Small Cap Value ................. 284,381 176,549 138,114 Small Cap Growth ................ 146,206 103,248 67,492 Global Balanced ................. 47,678 51,205 27,745 International Equity Index ...... 133,746 730,529 750,416 International Equity ............ 16,561 -- -- International Opportunities ..... 74,940 117,083 63,138 International Opportunities II .. 25,925 37,426 -- Emerging Markets Equity ......... 189,025 10,018 -- Bond Index ...................... 598 -- -- High Yield Bond ................. 200 -- -- How Brokers and Dealers are Selected Orders for the purchase and sale of Fund portfolio investments are placed by John Hancock with respect to the Money Market Fund and by the respective subadvisers to the other Funds. All of these subadvisers place orders in such manner as, in their opinion, will offer the best overall price and execution of each transaction. In seeking the best price and execution for equity securities traded only in the over-the-counter market, they normally deal directly with the principal market-makers. The subadvisers are governed in the selection of brokers and dealers and the negotiation of brokerage commission rates (or the payment of net prices in the case of debt securities) by the reliability and quality of the broker's or dealer's services. Although some weight is given to the availability and value of research and statistical assistance (discussed immediately below) furnished by the broker or dealer to the subadviser, it is not always possible to place a dollar value on such information and services. Because it is only supplementary to the subadvisers' own research efforts, the receipt of research information and statistical assistance is not expected to reduce their expenses measurably. Research and Statistical Services Furnished by Brokers and Dealers Research and statistical assistance typically furnished by brokers or dealers includes analysts' reports on companies and industries, market forecasts, and economic analyses. Brokers or dealers may also provide reports on pertinent federal and state legislative developments and changes in accounting practices; direct access by telephone or meetings with leading research analysts throughout the financial community, corporate management personnel, industry experts, leading economists and government officials; comparative performance and evaluation and technical performance measurement services; portfolio optimization software; availability of economic advice; quotation services; and services from recognized experts on investment matters of particular interest to the subadviser. In addition, the foregoing services may comprise the use of or be delivered by computer systems whose software and hardware components may be provided to the subadviser as part of the services. In any case in which the foregoing systems can be used for both research and non-research purposes, the subadviser makes an appropriate allocation of those uses and will permit brokers and dealers to provide only the portion of the systems to be used for research services. Research and statistical services furnished by brokers and dealers handling the Funds' transactions may be used by the subadvisers for the benefit of all of the accounts managed by them and not all of such research and statistical services may be used by the subadvisers in connection with the Funds. 43 Relationship Between Brokerage Commissions and Research and Statistical Services Furnished by Brokers and Dealers Except as to the Global Balanced Fund, the subadvisers or the Funds will not at any time make a commitment pursuant to an agreement with a broker because of research services provided. Nor, except as set forth below, will John Hancock or the subadvisers direct brokerage upon any prescribed basis to a broker because of research services provided.The subadviser for each of the Small Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Growth, and Mid Cap Value Funds may have an internal procedure for allocating transactions, in a manner consistent with its execution policy, to brokers that it has identified as providing superior executions, research, or research related products or services which benefit its advisory clients, including the Fund. In certain cases, the subadviser of the Global Balanced Fund directs securities transactions for that Fund to particular brokers, in recognition of research services the broker has provided, pursuant to an understanding or agreement with the broker or pursuant to the subadviser's own internal allocation procedures. Evaluations of the overall reasonableness of any broker's commissions are made by the subadvisers' traders for the Funds on the basis of their experience and judgment. To the extent permitted by Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, such traders are authorized to pay a brokerage commission on a particular transaction in excess of what another broker might have charged in recognition of the value of the broker's brokerage or research services. Such authority is generally expected to be used very infrequently. The Mid Cap Growth, Small/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, and Global Balanced Funds, however, may be more likely to use such authority. Brokerage Transactions in Foreign Markets Brokerage transactions in securities of companies domiciled in countries other than the United States are anticipated to be normally conducted on the stock exchanges or other markets of those countries in which the particular security is traded. Fixed commissions on foreign stock exchange transactions are generally higher than negotiated commissions available in the United States. Moreover, there is generally less government supervision and regulation of foreign stock exchanges and broker-dealers than in the United States. Settlement periods in non-U.S. markets may differ from the normal settlement period in the United States. Simultaneous Transactions with Other Accounts The subadvisers also perform investment advisory services for a number of other accounts and clients, none of which is given preference over the Trust in allocating investment opportunities. When opportunities occur which are consistent with the investment objective of more than one account, it is the policy of each subadviser to avoid favoring any one account over another. Accordingly, investment opportunities in such cases are allocated in a manner deemed equitable by the subadvisers to the particular accounts involved. The allocation may be based, for example, on such factors as the accounts' respective investment objectives and then current investment and cash positions. Subject to these requirements, Trust orders may be combined with orders of other accounts or clients advised by any of the subadvisers at prices which are approximately averaged. Use of Brokers Who are Affiliated With a Subadviser A Fund may place portfolio transactions through certain brokers who are affiliated with the Fund's subadviser. The Trust has implemented special procedures governing the circumstances of these transactions. In addition to complying with any applicable provisions of the Trust's procedures, these transactions must comply with all applicable legal requirements, including, where applicable, Rule 17e-1 under the Investment Company Act. Among other things, that rule requires the commissions or other compensation paid to the affiliated broker to be reasonable and fair compared to those in similar transactions between unrelated parties. 44 Set forth below is information about transactions by each Fund with affiliated brokers in reliance on Rule 17e-1 for each of the past three years: Amount of Commissions Name Nature of Broker's Paid by Fund of Affiliation with ------------------------------------------- Fund Affiliated Broker Fund's Sub-Adviser 1999 1998 1997 - ---- ----------------- ------------------ ---- ---- ---- International Ord Minnett Group Ltd.

For 1999, the total brokerage commissions on such transactions through affiliated brokers, as a percentage of commissions paid on all brokerage-type transactions was 3.2% for the International Opportunities Fund, 26.5% for the Mid Cap Value Fund, 3% for the Large Cap Value CORE Fund, 1% for the Small/Mid Cap CORE Fund, and 3.3% for the Emerging Markets Equity Fund. CODES OF PERSONAL CONDUCT The Funds (other than the Money Market Fund), John Hancock, and the Trust's principal underwriter have adopted, and the Trustees have approved, codes of conduct for their officers, directors and other personnel. Among other things these codes regulate (although they do not absolutely prohibit) transactions by such persons in securities of a type in which the Funds may and do invest. The subadvisers have adopted codes of conduct that are similar to the Fund's except that certain subadvisers may prohibit certain of their key personnel from personal trading in certain types of securities such as initial public offerings or private offerings. FEATURES OF THE TRUST'S SHARES The shares of beneficial interest of the Trust currently are divided into 33 series, each corresponding to one of the Trust's 33 Funds. The Trust has the right to establish additional series and issue additional shares without the consent of its shareholders. If the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies show minimal interest in any Fund, the Trust's Board of Trustees, by majority vote, may eliminate the Fund or substitute shares of another investment company. Any such action by the Board would be subject to compliance with any requirements for governmental approvals or exemptions or for shareholder approval. The holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies participating in any such Fund will be notified in writing of the Trust's intention to eliminate the Fund and given 30 days to transfer amounts from such Fund to other Funds without incurring any 45 transaction fee. Amounts not transferred or withdrawn would automatically be transferred, at the discretion of the Fund's management. The assets received by the Trust for the issuance or sale of shares of each Fund and all income, earnings, profits, and proceeds thereof are specifically allocated to that Fund. They constitute the underlying assets of each Fund, are segregated on the books of the Trust, and are to be charged with the expenses of such Fund. Any assets which are not clearly allocable to a particular Fund or Funds are allocated in a manner determined by the Board of Trustees. Accrued liabilities which are not clearly allocable to one or more Funds would generally be allocated among the Funds in proportion to their relative net assets before adjustment for such unallocated liabilities. Each issued and outstanding share in a Fund is entitled to participate equally in dividends and distributions declared with respect to such Fund and in the net assets of such Fund upon liquidation or dissolution remaining after satisfaction of outstanding liabilities. A dividend from the net investment income of the Money Market Fund will be declared and distributed daily. Dividends from net investment income of the other Funds will be declared and distributed monthly. The Trust will distribute all of its net realized capital gains annually. Dividends and capital gains distributions will normally be reinvested in additional full or fractional shares of the Fund to which they relate and will be appropriately credited to investment performance under the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts participating in that Fund. The shares of each Fund, when issued, will be fully paid and non-assessable, and will have no preference, preemptive, exchange or similar rights. Shares do not have cumulative voting rights. SHAREHOLDER MEETINGS AND VOTING RIGHTS Under the Trust's Declaration of Trust, the Trust is not required to hold an annual shareholders' meeting. Normally, for example, there will be no shareholders meetings for the purpose of electing Trustees. In addition, it is expected that the Trustees generally will elect their own successors and appoint Trustees to fill any vacancy, so long as, after filling the vacancy, at least two-thirds of the Trustees then in office have been elected by the shareholders. Notwithstanding the above if at any time less than a majority of Trustees in office have been elected by the shareholders, the Trustees must call a special shareholders' meeting promptly. Also the Trustees will promptly call a meeting of shareholders for the purpose of voting upon the question of removal of any Trustee or all of the Trustees, if requested in writing to do so by holders of 10% or more of the outstanding shares. In this regard, whenever ten or more shareholders who have been such for at least six months and who hold in the aggregate either shares having a net asset value of at least $25,000 or at least 1% of the outstanding shares, whichever is less, apply to the Trustees in writing stating that they wish to communicate with other shareholders with a view to obtaining signatures to a request for a shareholders' meeting, for consideration of the removal of any or all of the Trustees and accompanied by the material which they wish to transmit, the Trustees will within five business days after receipt either afford to such applicants access to the Trust's shareholder list or inform such applicants as to the approximate number of shareholders of record, and the approximate cost of mailing the material. If the Trustees elect the latter, the Trustees, upon written request of such applicants, accompanied by the material to be mailed and the reasonable expenses of mailing, shall promptly mail such material to all shareholders of record, unless within five business days the Trustees shall mail to such applicants and file with the SEC, together with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement signed by at least a majority of the Trustees to the effect that, in their opinion, either such material is misleading or in violation of applicable law and specifying the basis of such opinion. At any shareholders' meeting, all shares of the Trust of whatever class are entitled to one vote, and the votes of all classes are cast on an aggregate basis, except on matters where the interests of the Funds differ. Where the interests of the Funds differ, the voting is on a Fund-by-Fund basis. Approval or disapproval by the shareholders in one Fund on such a matter would not generally be a prerequisite of approval or disapproval by shareholders in another Fund; and shareholders in a Fund not affected by a matter generally would not be entitled to vote on that 46 matter. Examples of matters which would require a Fund-by-Fund vote are changes in the fundamental investment policy of a particular Fund and approval of investment management or sub-investment management agreements. SALES AND REDEMPTIONS OF FUND SHARES "Seed Money" Shares Typically, when a new Fund is added to the Trust, John Hancock (or one of its affiliates) initially purchases a substantial amount of that Fund's shares to provide the new fund with a reasonable asset base with which to commence operations. For example, the most recent such contributions of "seed money" have been as follows: "Seed Money" Date Shares Purchased by of Fund John Hancock Purchase - ---- -------------- ---------- Aggressive Balanced $10,000,000 8/31/99 Equity Index 15,000,000 5/1/98 Large Cap Value CORE 5,000,000 8/31/99 Large Cap Aggressive Growth 10,000,000 8/31/99 Large/Mid Cap Value 5,000,000 8/31/99 Fundamental Mid Cap Growth 5,000,000 8/31/99 Mid Cap Blend 5,000,000 8/31/99 Small/Mid Cap CORE 5,000,000 5/1/98 Global Balanced 20,000,000 5/1/96 International Equity 10,000,000 8/31/99 International Opportunities II 15,000,000 5/1/98 Emerging Markets Equity 10,000,000 5/1/98 Bond Index 2,500,000 5/1/98 High Yield Bond 10,000,000 5/1/98 John Hancock (or its affiliate) may redeem these shares (and thus withdraw its seed money investment) at some time. However, before withdrawing any part of their interests in any Fund, John Hancock (or its affiliate) will consider any possible adverse impact the withdrawal might have on that Fund. Purchases and redemptions of seed money shares are made at the applicable Fund's net asset value per share (with no additions or deductions for charges) next computed after the purchase or redemption order is placed. Shares Sold and Redeemed In Connection With Transactions Under Variable Annuity Contracts and Variable Life Insurance Policies Fund shares are sold at their net asset value as next determined after receipt of net premiums by the Separate Account, without the addition of any selling commission or sales load. Shares are redeemed at their net asset value as next determined after receipt of net surrender requests by the Separate Account. No fee is charged on redemption. Redemption payments will usually be paid within seven days after receipt of the redemption request, except that the right of redemption may be suspended or payments postponed whenever permitted by applicable law and regulations. Redemptions are normally made in cash, but the Trust reserves the right, at its discretion, to make full or partial payment by assignment to the appropriate Separate Account of portfolio securities at their value used in determining the redemption price. In such cases, the Separate Account would incur brokerage costs should it wish to liquidate these portfolio securities. Trust shares are also sold and redeemed as a result of transfer requests, loans, loan repayments, and similar Separate Account transactions, in each case without any sales load or commission or at the net asset value per share computed for the day as of which such Separate Account transactions are effected. 47 COMPUTING THE FUNDS' NET ASSET VALUE The net asset value per share of each Fund is determined once daily, after the declaration of dividends, if any, as of 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on each business day the New York Stock Exchange ("Exchange") is open for regular trading. For this purpose, however, certain derivative instruments may be valued using prices as late as 4:15 p.m. The net asset value per share of each Fund is determined by adding the value of all portfolio securities and other assets, deducting all portfolio liabilities, and dividing by the number of outstanding shares. All Trust expenses will be accrued daily for this purpose. Short-term investments with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less, and all investments of the Money Market Fund, are valued at "amortized cost," which approximates market value. This involves valuing a security at its cost and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of any discount or premium, regardless of the impact of fluctuating interest rates. While this method provides certainty in valuation, it may result in periods during which the value of an instrument, as determined by amortized cost, is higher or lower than the price the Fund would receive upon the sale of the instrument. The Board of Trustees has established procedures designed to stabilize the Money Market Fund's price per share, as computed for the purpose of sales and redemptions, at $10. There can be no assurance, however, that the Fund will at all times be able to maintain a constant $10 net asset value per share. Such procedures include review of the Fund's holdings at such intervals as is deemed appropriate to determine whether the Fund's net asset value, calculated by using available market quotations, deviates from $10 per share and, if so, whether such deviation may result in material dilution, or is otherwise unfair to existing shareholders. In the event that it is determined that such a deviation exists, the Board of Trustees will take such corrective action as it regards as necessary and appropriate. Such action may cause losses or gains to be recorded for the Fund, including decreases or increases in the Fund's net asset value per share. Securities and covered call and put options that are listed on a stock exchange are normally valued at the closing sales price. If there were no sales during the day, they are normally valued at the last previous sale or bid price reported, as are equity securities that are traded in the over-the-counter market. Non-exchange traded debt securities (other than certain short-term investments) are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which uses electronic data processing techniques, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. Any other security for which market quotations are not readily available, and any other property for which valuation is not otherwise available, is valued at fair value as determined in good faith by, or under the direction of, the Board of Trustees. Financial futures contracts, options thereon and options on stock indexes are valued at the last trade price of the day. In the absence of a trade on a given day, the value generally is used which is established by the exchange on which the instrument is traded. Trading in securities on European and Far Eastern securities exchanges and over-the-counter markets is normally completed at various times before the close of business on each day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open. The values of such securities used in computing net asset value per share are normally determined as of such times. Trading of these securities may not take place on every New York Stock Exchange business day and may take place on days which are not business days in New York. The Trust calculates net asset value per share as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day on which that exchange is open. Therefore, such calculation does not take place contemporaneously with the determination of the prices of many of the Funds' securities used in such calculation. If events affecting the value of such securities occur between the time when their price is determined and the time as of which the Fund's net asset value is calculated, such securities may be valued at fair value by or under the direction of the Board of Trustees. 48 TAXES The Trust intends that each Fund qualify as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). This requires that each Fund comply with certain requirements as to the nature of its income and amounts of dividends and other distributions it pays. Also, in order to qualify under Subchapter M, at the end of each quarter of a Fund's taxable year, (i) at least 50% of the market value of the Fund's assets must be represented by cash and cash items, U.S. Government securities, securities of other regulated investment companies, and other securities, with such other securities limited, in respect of any one issuer, to an amount that does not exceed 10% of the voting securities of such issuer of 5% of the value of the Fund's total assets; and (ii) not more than 25% of the value of its assets may be invested in the securities (other than U.S. Government securities and securities of other RICs) of any one issuer or two or more issuers which the Fund controls and which are engaged in the same, similar or related trades or businesses. The Trust also intends that each Fund comply with certain other diversification requirements, promulgated under Section 817(h) of the Code. Under these requirements, no more than 55% of the total value of the assets of each Fund may be represented by any one investment, no more than 70% by any two investments, no more than 80% by three investments and no more than 90% by four investments. Generally, for these purposes, all securities of the same issuer are treated as one investment. In the context of U.S. Government securities (including any security that is issued, guaranteed or insured by the United States or an instrumentality of the United States), each U.S. Government agency or instrumentality is treated as a separate issuer. Assuming the Funds qualify as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M, they will not owe any income taxes. On the other hand, if a Fund fails to qualify under Subchapter M, it may incur income tax liabilities, which will negatively affect its investment performance. Also, qualification under Subchapter M, as well as compliance with the Section 817(h) diversification requirements, (among other things) are necessary to secure the tax treatment intended for holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies that are supported by the Trust. Therefore, any such failure to qualify under Subchapter M or to meet the diversification standards under Section 817(h) could have serious adverse consequences for such investors. For a discussion of these and other tax implications of owning a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy for which the Fund serves as the investment medium, please refer to the Prospectus for such contract or policy attached at the front of this Prospectus. Those Funds that invest substantial amounts of their assets in foreign securities may be able to make an election to pass through to John Hancock, JHVLICO or IPL any taxes withheld by foreign taxing jurisdictions on foreign source income. Such an election will result in additional taxable income and income tax to John Hancock. The amount of additional income tax, however, may be more than offset by credits for the foreign taxes withheld, which are also passed through. INFORMATION ABOUT FUND PERFORMANCE How Money Market Fund Yields Are Calculated The Money Market Fund may advertise investment performance figures, including its current yield and its effective yield. The Money Market Fund's yield is its current investment income, expressed in annualized terms. The current yield is based on a specified seven-calendar-day period. It is computed by (1) determining the net change (exclusive of capital changes) in the value of a hypothetical pre-existing account having a balance of one share at the beginning of the period, (2) dividing the net change in account value by the value of the account at the beginning of the base period to get the base period return, then (3) multiplying the base period return by 52.15 (365 divided by 7). The resulting yield figure is carried to the nearest hundredth of one percent. 49 The calculations include the value of additional shares purchased with any dividends paid on the original share and the value of dividends declared on both the original share and any such additional shares. The capital changes excluded from the calculation are realized capital gains and losses from the sale of securities and unrealized appreciation and depreciation. Compound (effective) yield for the Fund will be computed by dividing the seven-day annualized yield (determined as above) by 365, adding 1 to the quotient, raising the sum to the 365th power, and subtracting 1 from the result. For the seven-day period ending December 31, 1999, the Money Market Fund's current yield was 5.74%; its effective yield was 5.91%. The Fund's yield will fluctuate depending upon market conditions, the type, quality, and maturity of the instruments in the Fund, and its expenses. Charges Under Variable Life Insurance and Variable Annuity Policies Yield and total return quotations do not reflect any charges imposed on any Separate Account or otherwise imposed pursuant to the variable life insurance policies and variable annuity contracts that are supported by the Funds. (Those charges are discussed in the prospectus for such policies or contracts.) Therefore, the yield or total return of any Fund is not comparable to that of a publicly available fund. Nor should yield or total return quotations be considered representative of the Fund's yield or total return in any future period. LEGAL MATTERS Freedman, Levy, Kroll & Simonds of Washington, D.C., advises the Trust on certain legal matters relating to the Federal securities laws. REPORTS TO CONTRACTHOLDERS Annual and semi-annual reports containing financial statements of the Trust, as well as any materials soliciting voting instructions for Trust shares, will be sent to variable life insurance and annuity contractowners having an interest in the Trust. 50 APPENDIX A - ---------- CORPORATE BOND RATINGS Moody's Investors Service, Inc., describes its ratings for corporate bonds as follows: . Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally stable margin, and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair the fundamentally strong position of such issues. . Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection may not be as large as in Aaa securities, or fluctuation of protection elements may be of greater amplitude, or there may be other elements present which make the long term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities. . Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which suggest a susceptibility to impairment some time in the future. . Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well. . Bonds which are rated Ba have speculative elements and their future cannot be considered as well assured. The protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Bonds in this class are characterized by uncertainty of position. . Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of a desirable investment; assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small. . Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Issues may be in default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or interest. . Bonds which are rated Ca are speculative in a high degree. They are often in default or have other marked shortcomings. . Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds. They can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any real investment standing. Standard & Poor's Corporation describes its ratings for corporate bonds as follows: . AAA - - This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's to a debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest. 51 . AA -- Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality obligations. Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong, and in the majority of instances, they differ from AAA issues only in small degree. . A -- Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions. . BBB -- Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category than for bonds in the A category. . BB, B, CCC, CC, C -- Bonds rated in these categories are regarded, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While this debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions. . C1 -- This rating is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being paid. . D -- Bonds rated D are in default and payment of interest and/or repayment of principal is in arrears. 52 [LOGO OF JOHN HANCOCK] ANNUAL REPORT [LOGO OF IA] December 31, 1999 [LOGO OF ALLIANCE CAPITAL] [LOGO OF THE BOSTON COMPANY] [LOGO OF BRINSON PARTNERS] New opportunities.

INVESTMENTS FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES.(R) VARIABLE SERIES TRUST [LOGO OF JOHN HANCOCK] Dear Shareholder, Quality that endures over time is not created over night. It takes planning, discipline, and commitment. No one understands this better than we do. John Hancock was one of the first insurance companies in America to recognize the appeal and value of variable product portfolios. Today, we offer state-of-the-art variable life and variable annuity products that are critical components of the financial portfolios of our life insurance and annuity customers. Whether purchased for protection, accumulation, or retirement planning, our variable life and variable annuity products are designed and managed to offer tremendous value to all of our customers. [PHOTO] Thomas J. Lee, President and Vice Chairman We have carefully built an investment structure that's ideally suited to meet the needs of all of our customers -- the Variable Series Trust (VST). The VST holds funds that are available with our variable life and variable annuity products. John Hancock has formed relationships with many world class investment firms to manage the various fund choices within the VST. We also oversee the management of these funds to ensure that they remain true to the strategies and investment styles that you, our shareholders, have selected. We believe a real value-added component in making the VST's investment structure work lies in the ongoing monitoring of investment performance and style. Nothing is more important to us than providing you with the best possible protection and investment solutions available -- and the quality customer service that's essential to maintaining your trust in us. We look forward to the opportunity to continue our relationship with you as we enter the new millennium together. You have our promise that we will continue to manage and monitor the Variable Series Trust with our most important asset in mind -- you, our shareholder. Thank you for your confidence in John Hancock. [PHOTO] Michele G. Van Leer, Chairman Sincerely, /s/ Michele G. Van Leer /s/ Thomas J. Lee Michele G. Van Leer Thomas J. Lee Chairman President and Vice Chairman Economic Overview: Annual Review 1999 John Hancock Economic Research 1999 was a terrific year for everybody except bond investors, who saw interest rates climb steadily throughout the year. The economy continued to defy gravity as growth far exceeded expectations, the unemployment rate declined to its lowest level in 30 years, and inflation remained under wraps. Continued strong growth above the economy's perceived speed limit spooked fixed income investors. Their inflation fears were heightened by tightening labor markets, the yawning current account deficit, and surging oil prices. So far the markets' worst fears have not materialized. Commodity prices in general have risen only slightly and higher energy prices have not infected core prices materially. Wage rates have decelerated rather than accelerated. While the dollar has weakened substantially against the yen, it has fared much better against most other currencies and foreign capital continues to flow easily into the US. Nevertheless, the general consensus has emerged that the best times are most likely behind us and that inflationary forces are gathering. In response the Fed pushed up short term interest rates three times last year for a total of 75 basis points while jawboning debt markets to boost their long term rates and steepen the yield curve. The Fed ended the year clearly on the inflation watch and in a preemptive mode. They even saw a dark side to surging productivity growth: it was pushing up equity prices too high and creating an overly optimistic environment on both Wall Street and Main Street. Strong growth led by consumer and investment spending As in the past few years, the economy was led by continuing strong consumer spending and business investment. Consumption growth rose for the fourth year in a row, topping 5% for the year and underpinned by strong income growth, low inflation, and continuing gains in household net worth. Business fixed investment remained strong, although decelerating somewhat from 1998, primarily because of weak business construction activity. Inventory restocking also lagged as firms had difficulty maintaining inventories at desirable levels in the middle of the year. Residential investment had another strong year although housing activity began to taper off toward year end, under pressure from rising mortgage rates. Housing starts set new records in 1999 while inventories of unsold homes declined to historically low levels. Nevertheless, housing prices remained reasonably well behaved, with some emerging speculative activity in several coastal markets associated with high tech. Imports surged as domestic production could not keep up with domestic demand, leading to a nearly 50% increase in the trade deficit. With the exception of oil, import prices remained virtually unchanged over the year, helping to keep a cap on inflationary pressures. Meanwhile, economies overseas began to show signs of recovery and this was reflected in improving US exports, although not enough to overcome the surge in imports. Few signs of inflation Productivity growth continued to accelerate throughout the year, as it approached 3% in the fourth quarter, more than double the average a decade ago. The combination of tight labor markets and rapid technological change propelled the surge in productivity and helped keep a lid on inflation. Prices remained remarkably well behaved throughout the year, even though above trend economic growth raised concerns of inflation's reemergence. Consumer prices rebounded slightly with jumps in oil and tobacco prices, but core prices continued their steady decline. Producer prices rebounded more abruptly on the heels of higher energy prices and tightening commodity markets. Overall, prices showed few signs of accelerating during the year. Labor markets tightened a bit as the unemployment rate declined to 4.1% of the labor force by the end of the year, a rate not seen since the 1960s. The economy created more than 2 million new jobs last year and employers showed more creativity in filling them by drawing new workers into the labor force from immigrants, the unemployed, and those outside the labor force. Despite such tight labor market conditions, upward momentum in wages evaporated last year, as wage growth handily beat inflation rates and workers continued to value job security over even larger wage gains. Interest rates rose steadily throughout the year. With strong productivity growth boosting the real rate of return on capital, real interest rates rose above 4%, a full percentage point above their long term average. In addition, fear of a resurgence in inflation on the heels of continued strong economic growth pushed up the inflation premium which led to higher nominal interest rates. Three quarter-point boosts in the Fed Funds rate ratified those increases and the Fed clearly indicated that it would continue raising rates until the economy slowed to a more sustainable growth rate, somewhat below 4%. It appears as if the Fed is finally prepared to start restricting access to the punch bowl in the hopes of extending the longest party on record. 1 Inception: March 29, 1986 Growth & Income Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Paul F. McManus During the fourth quarter of 1999 the stock market rebounded strongly from the third quarter levels led primarily by the technology sector. The Growth and Income Fund was up 12.31% in the quarter compared to 14.88% the S&P 500. With the appreciation in technology stocks during the year, the sector has grown to nearly 30% of the S&P500. The stock market advance was also very narrow with just a few stocks driving returns. Growth as a style did far better than value in 1999. Within the technology sector, there was a wide disparity in performance. The highest P/E issues did better than more reasonably priced issues. We did hold a market weighting in technology stocks that fit our criteria of selecting stocks that have good value and improving fundamental trends, but this strategy did not work as well in 1999. The stocks that did best were lofty P/E technology stocks like Qualcomm, Nextel, and AirTouch Communications. We held stocks like Cisco Systems, Hewlett Packard, and Dell Computer which fit our investment criteria more appropriately. The economic environment remains positive and we expect solid growth over the near term. Rising interest rates will likely impact the auto and housing sectors most negatively. We expect other non-US economies to grow at a faster pace over the next year particularly as Asia recovers further. This should benefit stock market sectors such as the basic materials industry companies in the forest product, capital goods, and consumer areas.

This compares with the third quarter's loss of 13.75%. For all of 1999, the S&P rose 21.04%. This is the fifth straight year the index has risen by more than 20%. To put that in perspective, the previous high for consecutive 20% years was two. The index had provided a compound return of over 250% over the last 5 years. Small cap stocks narrowly outperformed the S&P in 1999. The Russell 2000 rose 21.26%, besting the S&P for the first time since 1993. Large cap growth stocks outperformed their value counterparts by 15.53% (28.25% vs. 12.72%). The index was narrow again this year. The top 30 names provided all of the index return. The technology sector accounted for approximately 75% of the benchmark return. Microsoft rose 68%, and Qualcomm rose 350% after entering the index in July. Technology now accounts for nearly 30% of the S&P 500 Index. The top ten names in the index account for more than 25% on the index capitalization. The Fund returned 21.08% in 1999, besting the index by 5 basis points. Since State Street Global Advisors began managing the fund in May 1997, the fund has provided an annualized return of 27.25%. The Fund attempts to track the performance of The S&P 500 Index by fully replicating the index. The fund attempts to match the index holdings and weights for each security in order to provide returns close to the index return.

Rowe Price Associates, Inc. Brian C. Rogers In terms of overall market environment, 1999 was a year characterized by both a pronounced investor preferences for growth stocks and an advance led by a relatively small number of companies. Most of the excitement centered on the Nasdaq Composite dominated by technology stocks, which enjoyed the lion's share of gains last year. The major factor behind our lagging relative performance was our underweighting in technology, a sector that nearly doubled in value in 1999. We would not normally expect to hold large positions in this sector, since the lofty valuations of most technology shares exclude them as candidates for purchase. The Fund benefited from several companies involved in merger and acquisition activities. Our winners included BCE, Citigroup, Reynolds Metals, Dow Jones, and U.S. West. However, other solid companies were disappointing, including our holdings in Bank One, National City, Heinz, and Waste Management, which struggled through the year and largely offset our more profitable investments. We took advantage of market volatility by adding new positions and beefing up existing holdings. Among our purchases were Disney, American Home Products, Lockheed Martin, Unilever, and Xerox. In our view, these companies possess far more value and appreciation potential than the market is currently giving them credit for. We expect the Fed to maintain its monetary stance in favor of tightening with a view toward restraining inflation in a rapidly growing economy. While the economic news and low rate of inflation continue to be positive, it's difficult to envision an even more positive environment for stocks than we have so far experienced. These factors prompt us to remain cautious in our expectations for 2000. However, since so many sectors were left behind in the great bull market of the past couple of years, many interesting opportunities have become available in the midst of the general euphoria.

The economy continued to advance over the year, as evidenced by U.S. GDP growth running in recent months at 5% or better on an annualized basis, a 31- year high in consumer confidence and a 29-year low in the domestic jobless rate. The Federal Reserve Board, however, mindful of the risks associated with a shrinking labor supply, raised interest rates three times during the year, resulting in a total increase of the Fed Funds rate of 0.75% in 1999. The year proved exceptional for the U.S. stock indices. While the S&P 500 Index and Russell 1000 Index had annual returns of 21.04% and 20.9%, respectively, the Russell 2000 Index, which severely lagged larger cap indices earlier in the year, posted a 21.26% return, ending the year ahead of the S&P 500 Index for the first time in six years. 1999 also witnessed record-setting spreads between returns for growth and value, as the Index's return of 7.34% significantly underperformed the 33.15% return of the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks favored by fundamental research analysts, and less volatile stocks with lower-than-average probability of reporting disappointing earnings. Over the long term, these factors have led to excess returns, although they typically do not all work well at the same time. During 1999, our investment themes produced mixed results in the Russell 1000 Value universe. The momentum theme contributed greatly towards returns, while the value theme, contrary to long-term averages, detracted greatly from returns. CORE's preference for stocks that appear to be good values had the biggest negative impact on returns, indicating the market's strong distaste for value. The low risk and research themes were flat during the year. [GRAPH] 5 Inception: March 29, 1986 Large-Cap Growth Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Mark Lapman The Large-Cap Growth Fund returned a very strong 17.78% in the fourth quarter, as growth stocks once again outperformed. For the year, your Fund returned 24.07%. Average annual returns for the past five years are now 28.67%. 1999 can be summed up in one word: technology. Investors continue to bid up prices of the most expensive technology stocks that have impressive fundamentals. Growth managers who take lots of risk in a few names were rewarded in 1999 with truly outstanding returns. Our diversified, risk controlled approach and focus on relative value allowed us to have strong returns in 1999 but we could not keep pace with more risk-taking competitors. Top performers in your Fund this quarter included technology stocks like Oracle, Cisco Systems and Teradyne as well as health care companies Warner Lambert and Genentech. We remain focused on finding strong growth companies that are reasonably priced and controlling the risk in your Fund during this period of excessive valuation. The economic environment remains positive, despite the Fed's expected rate increases, with strong consumer confidence and spending continuing. Inflation has remained at bay despite a doubling of oil prices in 1999 and continued low unemployment. During the past year, investor cautiousness around Y2K has resulted in more inflows into money market funds than equity mutual funds for the first time since the 1990/91 recession. S&P 500 profit growth is expected to maintain its double digit pace. This environment bodes well for a continued strong stock market next year. However, we do remain concerned with overall valuation of the market and believe our diversified Funds and strong sell discipline will help protect you in the event of a pull back in the market.

J. Fogarty/A. Harrison The Fund had a net return of 20.18 % for the year ending December 31, 1999. The strong absolute performance was due to excellent stock selection across several industry groups. Technology, communication services and media stocks were among the best performing during 1999. The continued revolution in information technology propelled by the Internet and the proliferation of wireless technologies has fueled robust growth for these companies. A strong year-end rally in technology stocks was further driven by investor confidence that there would be little negative impact from Year 2000 issues. Most retail stocks posted solid returns for the year, as consumer spending remained strong. Financial and pharmaceutical stocks generally lagged the overall market. Financials came under pressure as the year progressed. Investors worried that if the Federal Reserve continues to increase interest rates to slow the economy and forestall higher inflation, the earnings of financial companies would be adversely impacted. Pharmaceutical stocks suffered losses in 1999 due to investors' concerns about decelerating earnings growth, the relative sparseness of new product launches, and the potential reform of Medicare. The Fund remains broadly diversified, balancing our positive view of the fundamentals with a caution on the valuations, especially for the same narrow list of technology and high multiple stocks that investors have continued to favor at any price. Technology, communication services, financials, retail and pharmaceuticals continue to be the areas of emphasis. In each sector, we will focus on companies with strong earnings growth, exceptional management and market dominance. We look forward to the year 2000 with an enormous sense of excitement regarding the technological changes around us. We are eager to face the challenge of trying to keep the Trust optimally structured for success based on the marriage of our fundamental analysis and price considerations.

Chu/L. Gabriel For the year ended December 31, 1999, the US equity market (as represented by the S&P 500) delivered an extraordinary return of 21%, despite rising bond yields. During the fourth quarter, the S&P 500 gained over 14%. Strong corporate earnings, real productivity gains, a lack of wage pressure and modest inflation provided a solid backdrop for a healthy domestic economy. Technology was again the place to be, as Internet related stocks and communications equipment stocks handily outperformed all other sectors. For the fourth quarter, growth companies outperformed value companies by over 20%. The Fund increased 7.00%, outpacing the Russell 1000 Value Index, which advanced 5.44% for the quarter ended December 31, 1999. Since Inception, on September 1, 1999, the Fund returned 4.72%, compared to a 1.75% return by the benchmark. During the quarter, the Fund's sector weights were kept closely in line with those of the Russell 1000 Value Index. Stock selection within industries and sectors was the primary driver of strong returns relative to the Index. For the quarter, nine of the eleven Fund sectors outperformed the corresponding sector in the Russell 1000 Value Index. Positive relative results came largely from the Information & Entertainment and Industrial and Commercial sectors. Some of the Fund's stock successes during the quarter include: Echostar Communications which was our strongest contributor, Motorola which should benefit from the growth in semiconductor and handset business, and Analog Devices which was a strong contributor in the Information Technology sector. As we begin the first quarter of 2000, we continue to believe that broad diversification across economic sectors is a central tenet of the investment strategy. Close alignment of the Fund's sector weights with those of the Russell 1000 Value Index will have the effect of minimizing sector risk and emphasizing security selection as the source of value-added. [GRAPH] 8 Inception: May 1, 1996 Mid-Cap Value Fund Neuberger Berman, LLC Gendelman/Mullick The Mid-Cap Value Fund posted a 5.52% return for the one-year period ended December 31, 1999 versus -0.11% for the Russell Midcap Value Index Stronger-than-expected economic growth and higher interest rates constrained the performance of mid-cap stocks for much of the year. Until the fourth quarter, only a handful of growth-oriented technology and telecommunications stocks drove the market averages higher. In the fourth quarter, a more broad- based rally began to emerge, sending most major stock market averages-- including the large-cap S&P 500 and the small-cap Russell 2000--to new highs on the last trading day of 1999. Value-oriented stocks were the notable exception to this list of winners, however. In this environment, the Fund's performance for the year was driven primarily by investments in producer durables (6.5% of total assets) and technology (12.8% of total assets). Individual holdings such as satellite television provider GM Hughes (2.45% of assets) rallied strongly after encountering temporary setbacks in 1998. In the telecommunications area, stocks such as Global Crossing (1.77% of assets) also recovered from previous problems, contributing significantly to the fund's returns. On the other hand, performance was hurt by declines in the financial sector (24.38% of total equity market value), that represented the fund's largest single concentration of holdings. Higher interest rates punished the stocks of fundamentally sound companies such as Countrywide Credit (2.15% of assets). Toward the end of the year, the Fund co-managers reduced their exposure to highly valued technology stocks and re-deployed those assets to more economically sensitive stocks. These areas are consumer discretionary (13.71%), energy (7.53%) and materials and processing (12.7%). Within these sectors, the Fund co-managers have focused mainly on "fallen angels," which they believe are fundamentally strong companies that are currently out-of- favor or experiencing temporary problems. [GRAPH] 9 Inception: August 31, 1999 Mid-Cap Blend Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Coreen Kraysler Encouraged by strong GDP growth, low inflation and continued productivity gains, investors drove the U.S. equity market to new highs in 1999. This enthusiasm resulted in yet another year of market returns in excess of 20%. Although large cap growth stocks continued to dominate, the market broadened considerably during the final quarter of the year. In fact, for the first time in a long time, small and midcap stocks both beat the S&P 500; while the S&P returned 14.88% for the fourth quarter, small and midcap stocks returned 18.4% and 17.2% respectively. We expect this broadening to continue as greater earnings breadth and compelling values in non-tech sectors should lead to wider participation in market leadership in 2000. During the fourth quarter the account returned 14.64%, below the benchmark return, although in line with the S&P. In terms of sector leadership, returns continued to be heavily concentrated in technology, with most other sectors performing poorly. The highly diversified nature of this fund has a negative impact on returns during periods of extreme narrowness such as we saw in 1999. Although the fund owned plenty of tech stocks, with strong performers such as Analog Devices, Teradyne, SCI and Oracle, just to name a few, it was hurt by investments in other industries, especially financial and consumer stocks. Despite recent increases in interest rates, the economy remains strong and corporate profit growth is expected to maintain its double digit pace, which bodes well for a strong stock market in 2000. In addition, while we expect technology earnings to remain strong, we also expect strong earnings rebounds in the basic materials, energy and transportation sectors. This wider participation in earnings growth should result in broader market returns, and this fund is well positioned to benefit. [GRAPH] 10 Inception: May 1, 1996 Mid-Cap Growth Fund Janus James Goff Domestic equity markets were volatile in 1999 as investors weighed solid earnings reports against lingering inflation fears and rising interest rates. The Federal Reserve responded to the strength of the U.S. economy by raising interest rates three times between June and November, while hinting that further rate hikes might be necessary in the new year. Amid this backdrop, the Fund logged exceptional results, substantially outperforming its benchmark, the Russell MidCap Growth Index. We enjoyed broad-based gains across many of our holdings, particularly in our technology, wireless service and telecommunications infrastructure positions. Our positions in technological "enablers" that provide products or services to the Internet industry were among the Portfolio's clear standouts. For example, VeriSign's technology enables secure browser-to-server transactions over the Internet. The stock soared following two recently announced strategic acquisitions, which will allow VeriSign to marry its existing technology with a back-end credit card payment platform. Thanks to higher-than-expected cellular subscription growth, our wireless positions in Western Wireless, OmniPoint and VoiceStream also provided outstanding returns. The potential for additional revenues from the introduction of wireless data transmission also fueled investor optimism. Additionally, our telecommunication infrastructure companies, including SDL and E-Tek Dynamics, soared. Their products increase the fiber-optic bandwidth capacity of telecommunication networks, which is in high demand as telecommunication providers scramble to keep up with the Internet's ever- increasing proliferation. On the downside, our position in Apollo Group, which operates the University of Phoenix, came under pressure. Although Wall Street downgraded the stock, we maintained our position due to Apollo's strong long-term growth potential. Looking ahead, we remain steadfastly focused on uncovering dynamic companies with extraordinary growth potential. By visiting companies on their home turf and looking for critical information that others have overlooked or just plain missed, we remain confident that our "all-weather" companies can grow the bottom line in any environment. [GRAPH] 11 Inception: August 31, 1999 Fundamental Mid-Cap Growth Fund OppenheimerFunds, Inc. B. Bartlett/J. Turner II Fundamental Mid Cap Growth Fund performed exceptionally well during 1999. The Fund's cumulative total returns from its inception date of August 31, 1999 through its fiscal year end of December 31, 1999 was 54.57%. We attribute the Fund's gains primarily to our focus on growth and our strong emphasis on technology, particularly some of the technology sector's better performing areas. Economic conditions provided a firm foundation for the Fund's performance. Throughout 1999, U.S. economic growth remained robust, largely driven by the performance of technology-oriented companies. As the year progressed, growth accelerated in key global markets of Europe and Asia as well. However, the possibility that U.S. growth might slow in the face of increasing domestic interest rates gave rise to economic uncertainty. In such an environment, the market tends to reward companies that appear most likely to deliver strong and sustainable growth. These are precisely the kinds of companies on which the Fund focuses. Within technology, we derived our greatest gains from a wide range of companies supplying the building blocks of the world's communications infrastructure. Nearly half of our technology holdings were among optical networking companies. By providing equipment to increase the geographical reach and bandwidth of today's high-speed, high-capacity data communications and telecommunications networks, these companies are profiting from the explosive growth of the Internet and other forms of business communications. Of course, not all of the Fund's holdings performed strongly. Financial stocks proved volatile performers during 1999. The sector was buoyed during the first half of the year by the healthy U.S. economy and signs of financial strength among worldwide emerging markets. However, financial stocks suffered during the second half of the year under pressure from slowing earnings and moderate, but consistent, increases in long-term interest rates. In response, we significantly reduced our position in financial companies. We also reduced our healthcare holdings. We focused our remaining healthcare investments on biotechnology firms with strong product pipelines. Looking toward the coming year, we see indications that global economic momentum is likely to continue. Consumer confidence and spending remain high, and although pressures on prices and wages continue to grow, counterbalancing forces such as global price competition and improved productivity have thus far held them largely in check. In such an environment of continuing economic health, we are enthusiastic about the growth prospects of the industries and companies we have identified.

J. DeSantis/T. Spicer With the REIT group having lost over 40% of its value over the past two years, it is quite apparent that the stocks are trading on perception rather than fundamentals. When reviewing the full year's performance, the sector experienced somewhat of a reprieve in the second quarter as the market shifted from technology/growth stocks and focused on cyclical and value plays. This rebound proved to be short lived however as the sector has traded down ever since then. For the year, the Wilshire Real Estate Securities Index returned a negative 3.19%. This downward trend has only been exacerbated by the sector's relatively low liquidity in the face of heavy negative funds flow. Net outflows for the year were in the $1 billion range with 16 of the past 18 months registering net redemptions. In the near future you would expect that a combination of value buyers, vulture buyers, and yield buyers should start to take another look at the REIT sector with its solid growth, strong fundamentals, and income potential. At some point, an industry with a steady 7-8% growth potential and an 8.5% average yield that trades at a 7x multiple will be appealing to investors once again. Despite this rather negative tone, however, our funds continued to have outstanding relative performance for both the quarter and the year. This outperformance is attributable to both sector and stock selection. Overweights in the Apartment, Office, Manufactured Homes, and Diversified sectors helped performance as they outperformed the overall index. Underweights in the Retail and Hotel sectors also helped as they underperformed the market. Individual names that added to the Fund's returns included Liberty, Storage USA, Camden, Franchise Finance, and Spieker Properties. A couple of positions also went against us, namely JDN Realty and Burnham Pacific. Holding these positions in a diversified manner helped to limit their impact to the overall fund. Going forward, we expect these active positions to remain fairly constant.

Higgins The smaller capitalization market ended another good year on a strong note. The growth sector, with its large technology component, dramatically outpaced the value side of the market. Indeed value stocks were essentially flat for the year while growth stocks were up about 50%. While this performance divergence has been a persistent characteristic of the market for several years, it was even more so in 1999. The Fund performed better than its respective benchmark for the year but lagged for the quarter. Given the dramatic underperformance of value stocks, we are finding an abundance of underpriced stocks with outstanding potential. Our sector focus has not changed significantly for the past several quarters. We continue to emphasize technology and energy stocks in the portfolio but, unlike recent quarters, these sectors underperformed their respective benchmarks for the fourth quarter. Our portfolio of technology stocks had a positive return but lagged the index due to the strong advance of internet related companies which are clearly part of the growth investment spectrum. Several technology stocks including Sterling Commerce, 3Comm, Keane and Autodesk were strong performers in the technology sector for the quarter. Energy prices fluctuated erratically as supply concerns, induced primarily by threats from producing countries to reduce output, continued to impact the market. Our strong performing energy stocks included Weatherford International and Santa Fe International. We are also emphasizing the consumer sectors. The economy continues to grow at a healthy pace and inflation and unemployment remain low. The continued high level of consumer confidence should result in strong demand at the retail level. Callaway Golf and Liz Claiborne were two of our consumer stocks that did well for the quarter. Utilities and financial services remain underweight relative to the benchmark. These sectors should continue to have slow earnings growth and investor enthusiasm will likely be dampened by interest rate concerns. [GRAPH] 14 Inception: May 1, 1998 Small/Mid-Cap CORE Fund Goldman Sachs Asset Management Jones/Clark/Pinter For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Small/Mid Cap CORE Fund returned 20.54% at net asset value, underperforming its benchmark, the Russell 2500 Index, which returned 24.15%. The economy continued to advance over the year, as evidenced by U.S. GDP growth running in recent months at 5% or better on an annualized basis, a 31- year high in consumer confidence and a 29-year low in the domestic jobless rate. The Federal Reserve Board, however, mindful of the risks associated with a shrinking labor supply, raised interest rates three times during the year, resulting in a total increase of the Fed Funds rate of 0.75% in 1999. The year proved exceptional for the U.S. stock indices. While the S&P 500 Index and Russell Midcap Index had annual returns of 21.04% and 18.23%, respectively, the Index, which severely lagged larger cap indices earlier in the year, posted a 24.15% return, ending the year ahead of the S&P 500 Index for the first time in six years. 1999 also witnessed record-setting spreads between returns for growth and value, as the Russell 2500 Growth Index return of 43.09% significantly outpaced the 1.49% return of the Russell 2500 Value Index. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks favored by fundamental research analysts, and lower volatility stocks with a below-average probability of reporting disappointing earnings. Over the long term, these factors have led to excess returns, although they typically do not all work well simultaneously. For instance, during 1999, our investment themes produced mixed results in the Russell 2500 universe. Although the momentum theme contributed greatly towards returns, the value theme, contrary to long-term averages, hurt returns. Index returns were driven by very few stocks, and there was an unusually wide spread between the best- and worst-performing stocks. Thus, the chances of selecting the best opportunities were lower than average, and the penalty for making the wrong choice was higher than average. CORE's preference for stocks that appear to be good values had the biggest negative impact on returns, indicating the market's strong distaste for value. The low risk and research themes were flat during the year.

The peer group represents a 50% weighting of the Mid-Cap Growth style and a 50% weighting of the Small-Cap Growth style for periods since May 1999. 15 Inception: May 1, 1994 Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund (Formerly Diversified Mid-Cap Growth) Wellington Management Company, LLP Frank V. Wisneski Small/Mid Cap Growth returned 0.2% from inception on 4/30/99, through the end of 1999. This performance was disappointing as it substantially underperformed the 22.1% return of the Target Mid Cap 750 Index and the 45.5% return for the Russell 2500 Growth Index for the period. Four factors contributed to the Fund's disappointing performance. First, our diversified mid-cap exposure hurt the Fund, as equity markets were totally focused on technology issues. Technology stocks were the clear leaders in 1999 driving markets and valuations to new highs. Second, these speculative markets produced a difficult environment for our disciplined and fundamentally based strategy given our requirement for three years operating profit. Investors showed nearly insatiable demand for technology companies that not only had not demonstrated the profitability potential of their business model, but were often barely beyond the venture capital stage. Third, within the mid-cap market, the Fund was invested in the smaller sized stocks. The larger mid cap stocks outperformed for the year. Finally, some tactical stock selection decisions also detracted from results. The US economy remains on solid footing with real GDP forecast to grow 3.7% on average in 2000 and the world poised for stronger growth. We are confident that once speculative influences subside, the Fund will reflect returns that were typical prior to 1999. We cannot predict when this narrow market will begin to broaden, but believe the valuation gap between large and small stocks will converge soon, resulting in strong relative performance for small/mid cap stocks. While frustrating over the short term, we continue to believe that we've seen nothing in the present market that would prompt a significant change to our approach.

Bob Slotpole There were ample fireworks on Wall Street as the millennium came to a close. A December surge in equity prices capped one of the most rewarding decades in history. Small cap stocks ended the year with a strong 4th quarter and, as a result of this late year rally, finished the year just slightly ahead of large cap stocks for the first time since 1993. Many stocks failed to participate in 1999's gains, however, owing to intense industry competition and rising interest rates. During the 4th quarter small cap growth stocks outperformed value by an extraordinary margin--33.4% versus 1.5%--the largest one quarter difference since the inception of the Russell 2000 Index in 1979. Technology and Telecommunications stocks continued to lead the market, while many sectors finished the quarter in the red. Retail, Energy and Consumer Staples had the biggest losses. The Small Cap Value Fund returned -0.24% for the quarter, lagging a 1.53% return for the Russell 2000 Value Index. The Fund's total return for 1999 was - -3.43% versus 1.23% for benchmark. INVESCO's strategy in managing the Small Cap Value Fund is to add value through stock selection, while limiting exposure to other types of risk, such as market risk (beta) and sector and industry exposures. Not surprisingly, in a year of exceptional returns to growth stocks our value-oriented stock selection tools, such as low price/earnings and price/assets ratios, performed poorly. Our process also favors companies with improving earnings estimates, which underperformed in the 4th quarter. This was taken to an extreme in the Internet sector, where stocks seemed to perform well even as losses mounted. Offsetting some of the weakness in value tools, however, was strong performance from such factors as a stock's relative price strength and how aggressively companies were repurchasing their own shares. [GRAPH] 17 Inception: May 1, 1996 Small-Cap Growth Fund John Hancock Advisers, Inc. Bernice Behar The last quarter of the millennium was a memorable one for the equity markets. Investors seemingly brushed all Y2K concerns aside, leading stocks to towering heights. Growth stocks benefited the most from the frenzy, soaring well ahead of their value counterparts. This trend was clearly illustrated by the disparity between the returns of the Russell 2000 Value and the Russell 2000 Growth Indexes. The Russell 2000 Growth outpaced the small cap value index by almost 32%. The fourth quarter strength also influenced the occurrence of a significant event--the return of small caps. Small cap stocks edged ahead of large caps for the first time since 1993. For the year, the Russell 2000 returned 21.26% and the S&P 500 gained 21.04%. The Fund benefited from the strength in both small cap and growth stocks. It climbed 45.57% for the fourth quarter and 70.38% for the year. Within the Fund, we remain positive on the outlook for the media segment. In addition to our radio holdings, we found opportunities in Internet media companies. We targeted Internet audience measurement firms that track customer habits. Information on consumer behavior on the web is becoming increasingly important to web advertisers in order to determine appropriate ad rates and customize their advertisements. We own several securities in the gene discovery segment of the biotechnology industry. A steady flow of positive news has re-focused investor attention towards this industry. Many larger drug companies have formed partnerships with smaller biotechnology firms with the expectation that their technologies will lead to the development of new drugs. Although biotechnology stocks performed well this quarter, we believe they will continue to outperform. We increased our weighting to take advantage of this potential appreciation. [GRAPH] 18 Inception: May 1, 1998 Global Equity Fund Scudder Kemper Investments, Inc. W. Holzer/D. Espinosa For the fourth quarter 1999, the Global Equity Fund returned 15.94% in line with its benchmark, the MSCI World Index return of 16.96%. For the year 1999, the Fund returned 24.19%, slightly underperforming the benchmark return of 25.34%. During 1999 the Fund's performance can be very broadly characterized by The Fund's themes. The Empowered Consumer theme (companies that enable consumers by providing new electronic infrastructure and electronic markets for goods and services) performed extremely well on a sharp rise in technology shares. The Ultimate Subcontractor theme (companies that are the world's cheapest producers, and which are able to retain their wealth) modestly underperformed as our holdings produced mixed results. Secure Streams of Income theme (companies providing stable income in de-regulated environments) endured a tough year as we had an incorrect view on our defensive investments under this theme. Our exposure to the Darkside Restructuring theme (companies in previously regulated economies or industries that are restructuring with a focus on shareholder value) remained constant throughout the fourth quarter. Technology was the driver as both US and International markets accelerated towards the end of the year, with the tech stock rally broadening to include mid cap companies, especially in Europe, as well. The Emerging Markets completed an astonishing year. Latin America was the star of the last quarter as attention focussed on Mexico on grounds of convergence with the US, and on Brazil as economic recovery progressed. In anticipation of greater market volatility, investment actions will concentrate on trimming Fund exposure to the expensive technology stocks owned under the Empowered Consumer theme, and consolidating our holdings under the defensive Secure Streams of Income theme. Finally we will maintain our investments under the Ultimate Subcontractor theme which, although also subject to the penalties of higher interest rates, should prove more durable, supported by the continuing process of consolidation. [GRAPH] 19 Inception: May 2, 1988 International Equity Index Fund Independence International Associates, Inc. Norman Meltz The International Equity Index Fund returned 18.85% for the fourth quarter of 1999 versus its benchmark return of 18.40%. For the year, the Fund's return of 30.87% has matched its benchmark return of 30.87%. On July 1st this past year the Fund invested 10% of its assets in the emerging markets. That portion of the Fund will track the Morgan Stanley Emerging Markets Free (MSEMF) Index. The remaining 90% of the Fund will continue to invest in a strategy that tracks Morgan Stanley's GDP Index. Therefore the Fund's benchmark now consists of a blended index comprised of 90% Morgan Stanley GDP Index and 10% MSEMF Index. Developed international markets delivered excellent returns across the board this past quarter. The GDP Index gained 17.55% during the quarter. Emerging markets performed even better as the MSEMF Index rose 25.45%. Within the developed markets all twenty countries in which the Fund invests showed positive returns. Finland performed best with a return of 89% due largely to Nokia, which represents more than 20% of Finland and rose 114%. The Euro zone rose 25% this quarter. The Pacific developed markets, dominated by Japan with a 16% return, rose 16%. Every return would have been even higher but for a strong US dollar that reduced the returns achieved in the local equity markets. In the emerging markets Latin America led the regions with a 33% return led by Brazil which rose 55%. Turkey led all emerging countries with a return of 125%. Growth stocks dominated returns across the world this past quarter to a degree we have not seen over the past twenty-five years. Independence's International Growth Stock Index outperformed the comparable Value Stock Index by 21% over the quarter. The next largest difference between these two groups occurred in 1987 but measured only 13%. The Fund was able to participate in this trend since it owns both value and growth stocks. [GRAPH] 20 Inception: August 31, 1999 International Equity Fund Goldman Sachs Asset Management S. Maeda/I. Farman/S. Noble For the period since inception (August 31, 1999) through December 31, 1999, the International Equity Fund returned 21.59% at net asset value, outperforming its benchmark, the MSCI EAFE Index, which returned 18.25%. The international equity markets ended the year on a positive note, with the Index rising substantially during the fourth quarter. This strong performance occurred despite interest rate increases by monetary authorities around the world and Y2K-related uncertainty early in the quarter. However, the equity markets appeared to shake these interest rate concerns for the remainder of the period and, ultimately, liquidity fears were not substantiated by trading volume declines or by substantial increases in cash levels in the marketplace. The strength in international equity markets was largely focused on a narrow range of sectors as telecommunication and technology stocks rose meteorically, reflecting the strong demand and positive pricing in these industries. In addition, some cyclical stocks also rallied towards the end of the quarter in response to optimism about international GDP growth. Conversely, more defensive stocks such as Pharmaceuticals and Oil stocks performed poorly. We increased our exposure in the Telecommunications industry. In the voice and data "carriers' sector we bought Deutsche Telecom (0.7% of total Fund assets) and Energis (0.4% of total Fund assets), a UK-based "alternative' telecommunications operator. Holdings in the chemicals sector were raised with purchases of BASF (0.6% of total Fund assets) and Asahi Chemicals (0.5% of total Fund assets). Within the context of our positive overall outlook for global equities, we are moderately underweight in Europe, although we have a positive view of the long-term prospects for Continental Europe. Growth is clearly recovering in the region and there are some long term structural attractions, such as reform in the pension and savings industry, which we expect to lead to highly significant flows of new assets into equity markets. We are overweight Asian equities, though more confident about the outlook for Southeast Asian markets than for Japan. Economic growth in Japan has clearly exceeded all expectations this year, though there are some signs that the momentum of growth will not prove to be sustainable and our bottom-up earnings analysis also suggests that consensus expectations for future profits growth will be disappointed in certain sectors. Nevertheless, yields on Japanese equities are still attractive. [GRAPH] 21 Inception: May 1, 1996 International Opportunities Fund Rowe Price-Fleming International, Inc. Martin Wade The excitement driving US technology, telecom and Internet stocks raced through all international regions in the fourth quarter, pushing the MSCI EAFE benchmark up 17% (cited in US$). Latin America--not in the MSCI EAFE benchmark--was the strongest region, up 33%. Performances of other regions were in a tight band with the Pacific ex-Japan ahead 19%, Europe up 17%, and Japan 16% higher. The overriding factor propelling markets was enthusiasm for "new economy" stocks: telecom and Internet-related companies and their suppliers. The portfolio returned 34.01%, markedly outperforming the 31.79% return of its benchmark. Country weighting relative to the benchmark was broadly neutral for the full year. Our underweight position in Japan subtracted considerable value, while an overweight position in Latin America added significant value. Also, underweight positions in the weaker UK and German markets were positive contributors. The sector which added the most value was overweighting electronic components. Overweighting the consumer electronics sector and underweighting utilities and insurance were also positive. We expect stronger economic growth in Europe. In Japan, declining domestic demand and capital expenditure together with the potential for a strong yen are liable to keep the economy weak. Elsewhere in Asia, economic recovery is well under way and we expect it to continue. We remain cautiously optimistic about Latin America. Although we believe the valuations of some "new economy" stocks in international regions have become excessive, we are enthusiastic about the growth potential of well-managed telecom, Internet-related and technology businesses. Fortified by a year of improvement, international economies are poised for better growth with moderate inflation in 2000. Greater-than-expected progress in restructuring and reform during 1999, as well as more mergers and acquisitions than anticipated, have enhanced the earning potential of international companies and have paved the way for international stock markets to rise in the year ahead. [GRAPH] 22 Inception: May 1, 1998 Emerging Markets Equity Fund Morgan Stanley Asset Management R. Meyer/A. Skov The Fund gained 50.45% during the fourth quarter versus a return of 25.44% for the MSCI EMF index. Outperformance was attributable to both strong stock selection and country allocation. Stock selection in South Korea contributed markedly to performance. Other notable contributors were equity selections in India, Israel, Mexico and Taiwan. Our overweight position in Egypt (+45.2%), Turkey (+124.9%) and Indonesia (+41.3%) coupled with our underweight stance in Greece (-6.0%) contributed positively to performance. Poor stock selection in India and Indonesia and country allocation in South Korea (+19.7%) detracted from performance. A supportive global environment, dissipating concerns over Y2K and heartier investor risk appetites helped the emerging markets perform remarkably well during the quarter. Continued strength in commodity prices and improving economic fundamentals, coupled with positive election results (India, Mexico, and Russia) and IMF agreements (Russia and Turkey), further boosted the emerging markets. During the quarter, Taiwan and Turkey evidenced their resilience in light of the earthquakes they suffered during the third quarter, and investors rewarded countries such as India and Turkey for their commitment to reforms. We continue to focus on Asia, a region benefiting from trade surpluses, export growth and export market competitiveness vis-a-vis Yen strength versus the US Dollar. We will continue to underweight the Latin American region in the near term as we believe other regions within the emerging markets presently offer more exciting investment opportunities. Turkey remains one of our most significant overweight positions within Emerging Europe and the Middle East, and within Turkey we are focusing on domestic themes, adding to those companies best positioned to take advantage of a lower interest rate and inflation environment and higher consumer spending. [GRAPH] 23 Inception: March 29, 1986 Money Market Fund John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co. Peter Mitsopoulos With the economy performing admirably, productivity strong and inflation well contained, many investors were hopeful that rates would remain stable. The wildcard continued to be a persistently low unemployment rate and a continually tightening labor supply. But on June 30, as these two economic indicators failed to ease, coupled with a spike in the consumer price index (CPI) in April the Fed raised the Fed Funds target rate by .25%. The Fed raised rates two more times, the last in November which brought the target rate back up to 5.50%. We began the year with the objective of extending the maturity of the Fund as our outlook was for a stable rate environment. We began purchasing one year maturities to lock in some higher rates and in addition, purchased one-month and three-month adjustable rate securities, a category in which we were underweighted. However, following the increase in April's CPI and the Fed's monetary tightening bias, we quickly needed to change direction and began shortening the Fund. We lowered the Fund's weighted average maturity from a high of 83 days in May, to an eventual level of 47 days in December. Rates did rise, but surprisingly, 1999's year-end did not play out like a typical year- end mainly due to Y2K concerns. Many corporations had completed their year-end funding needs early and many banks were flush with cash from various sources including the Fed's liquidity initiatives which effectively reduced investment supply in December. We decided in November to reduce the level of maturities of the Fund for December to a level prudent for Fund liquidity, but not for significant investment needs. This strategy benefited the Fund as rates did indeed drop off and the Fund had little rollover investing needs. The Fund is invested primarily in commercial paper (64%), adjustable rate notes (22%) and other money market securities. The Fund is diversified among many industry sectors and companies. [GRAPH] 24 Inception: May 1, 1994 Short-Term Bond Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Jeff Saef In the fourth quarter of 1999 investor disinterest for credit risk was replaced with all out enthusiasm, resulting in significant outperformance of corporate securities to comparable duration U.S. Treasury securities. The high- risk premiums of the sector relative to the underlying strength of the U.S. economy, and diminished corporate supply expectations in preparation for Y2K, lead to the outperformance of the corporate bond market. The rally in the corporate bond market started in the beginning of the quarter with higher quality, more liquid corporate securities outperforming both comparable duration U.S. Treasury securities and lower quality corporate securities. As the quarter continued, the rally in high quality corporate bonds stalled out as investors sold these securities in favor of lower quality higher yielding bonds, which had lagged the corporate market for the first half of the quarter. The increase investor demand for yield caused the lower quality securities to outperform for the remainder of the quarter, finishing off a volatile but great year for the corporate bond market. Your fund outperformed its benchmark during the quarter for three primary reasons. First, the fund continues to benefit from a yield advantage provided by an overweight in corporate securities relative to the benchmark. Second, short maturity corporate bonds tightened in spread during the quarter, providing an additional return advantage relative to the fund's benchmark. Finally, as investors searched for lower quality yield, our individual securities held in the fund outperformed relative to the average corporate bond in the benchmark. Strong performers included: Popular Inc., Tenet Healthcare, Beckman Instruments, Lehman Brothers, Williams Companies, and Petroleum GeoServices. While the relative return of the fund was strong, rising interest rates largely offset these absolute gains, resulting in a .83% for the quarter.

Performance net of fees for the Fund was -0.65% for December, - 0.50% for the fourth quarter and 2.64% from inception. Corresponding returns for the benchmark were -0.61%, -0.41% and 2.96%. The fund uses a representative sample of issues selected through proprietary quantitative techniques. Selected issues have the best risk-adjusted expected return and, as a group, match the characteristics of the 4,600 issues in the Index including price sensitivity, industry, and quality exposures. An indexed portfolio typically eliminates many risks associated with active management and has lower fees and expenses. The third quarter was a difficult one for the bond market as market yields rose steadily. From an economic perspective, the fourth quarter looked a lot like the third quarter. Any positive sentiment quickly faded as investors focused on the continued strength of the economy. Economic strength is often bad for bonds due to the increased potential for an increase in inflation. A string of economic releases on the heels of similar numbers in the third quarter led investors to expect at least one increase in key short-term rates by the Federal Reserve in the first part of 2000. As a result, the market's path of least resistance was toward higher yields. Mortgage and Corporate sectors performed better than U.S. Government issues, but all were hurt by the increase in yields. [GRAPH] 26 Inception: March 29, 1986 Sovereign Bond Fund John Hancock Advisers, Inc. James Ho During the quarter, the US economy remained robust, as consumer spending stayed strong, unemployment resided at a 30-year low, business productivity continued to rise and inflation remained tame. On November 16th, the Fed raised rates by 25 basis points for the third time since June, as the risk of higher inflation continued to be a threat. For the year overall, the bond market suffered its worst year since 1994 and its second worst year since 1973. Interest rates rose significantly across the yield curve (86-181bp) and both inflation fears and concerns of Y2K computer problems sent bond prices lower in 1999 causing poor performance in most sectors of the bond market. Despite rising interest rates, most spread sectors of the bond market narrowed during the fourth quarter of the year. Fortunately, new issue supply slowed as corporations' need to raise cash diminished and spreads began to tighten early in the fourth quarter, offsetting the negative effects of the rising yield curve. Investment grade corporate bonds outperformed Treasuries for both the quarter and year-to-date (roughly 174 bp on a duration-adjusted basis). During the quarter, high yield bonds were one of the best performing sectors, while mortgage backed and asset backed securities continued to perform well due to additional spread tightening. Emerging Markets were the top performing sector for the period (returning 10.7%) and year-to-date (returning 23.0%), despite continued volatility and limited liquidity. During the quarter, the Fund gained 0.15%, outperforming the index at (0.12%). Year-to-date the Fund performed well on a relative basis returning (.94%), outperforming the index return of (1.87%). Given the poor performance in Treasuries during the quarter, our underweight position in this sector relative to the benchmark contributed positively to performance results. In addition, the Fund's higher exposure to corporate bonds and asset backed securities also contributed to positive performance results.

Morgan Investment Management, Inc. David Gibbon Bond yields rose sharply in the U.S. and Europe as the Fed, Bank of England and ECB tightened policy in response to improving global growth and rising input prices. At the same time, Japanese bond yields fell through the quarter as domestic investors questioned the improvement in growth prospects and debt supply fears and extended along the yield curve. Liquidity conditions improved through the quarter as Y2K fears abated and investors cautiously returned to the credit markets. New issuance declined throughout the quarter to a near halt in December. We continue to hold a short-duration bias, adding value in the rising interest rate environment. Country selection continues to hinder the portfolio's performance, as we concentrated the portfolio's duration underweight in Japan. With the exception of non-EMU Europe, Japan was the best performing region in the fixed income index during the fourth quarter. Our currency management was a drag on excess return, as we elected to leave a portion of our euro holdings unhedged early in the quarter. From mid-October to early December the euro declined in value by 9% relative to the US dollar. The portfolio maintains full currency hedges on yen-denominated assets. After a difficult third quarter, corporate spreads narrowed sharply in the fourth quarter, as concerns about a Y2K liquidity meltdown eased. Our allocation to non-government bonds added value relative to the index. With little sign of any material slowing in U.S. growth (aside from some moderation in the construction sector), continued improvement in the Japanese economy, and the rebound in European business confidence, bond markets lack fundamental support going into 2000. In the U.S., strong business and consumer confidence, a robust equity market and very buoyant labour market suggest the need for additional Fed policy tightening. Rapid monetary growth and credit expansion, together with the unprecedented external deficit, imply the need to slow the economy to a more sustainable pace, even in the absence of any significant consumer price pressures. The market discounts an insufficient amount of tightening this year in order to slow the economy to an acceptable pace.

This performance exceeded the -0.1% return of investment grade bonds as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index. The superior return came from the tightening of the spread of high yield issues versus 10-year Treasury issues. During the quarter, the Fund advanced 3.30% compared to a 1.63% return of the Lehman High Yield Index. Since inception, on April 30, 1998, the Fund returned 1.19%, which compares favorably to the 0.31% return of the Lehman HY Index. While rising yields on US Treasuries hurt investment grade bonds during the quarter, high yield bonds held steady for a number of reasons. First, a strong US equity market served to create a wind at the back of the high yield market. Second, outflows in high yield mutual funds subsided during the quarter. Finally, high yield default rates declined sequentially for the second straight quarter from their peak levels in the second quarter. The Fund's average quality rating remained at B2 compared to B1 for the Lehman HY Index. Within high yield, lower quality ("B" rated) bonds outperformed higher quality ("BB" rated) bonds in the fourth quarter, and on a full-year basis. During the quarter, we continued to favor the telecommunication and media and entertainment sectors as we believe these areas are experiencing the most secular growth. We continue to invest in companies which derive most of their revenues from within the United States. Also, given the longevity of the current U.S. economic cycle, we continue to favor companies with an underlying secular growth trend as opposed to mature, cyclical companies.

John Forelli/Jeff Saef Your balanced Fund returned a solid 7.41% during the fourth quarter of 1999. The strong equity markets led your performance gain. Your account also returned a strong 9.10% for the year despite a bond market that declined for all of 1999. The equity portion led your performance gain with a fourth quarter return of 12.37% and a 1999 return of 16.37%. Stocks that performed well during the quarter included Citigroup, Marsh & McLennan and Home Depot. We remain focused on finding cheap stocks with improving fundamentals and controlling risk in your Fund during this period of excessive valuation. On the fixed income side, your Fund beat the bond market (Lehman Aggregate Bond Index) by a strong 0.45% in the fourth quarter as corporate, mortgage and international bonds performed quite well. Asset Allocation remained at an approximate 60% Equity/40% Fixed Income mix throughout the quarter. The equity and fixed income markets went in opposite directions during 1999. Equity investors remain enamored with the strong economic environment, the free spending consumer and low inflation. Bond investors continue to be fearful of Fed interest rate hikes, low unemployment and wage pressures. We are focusing on both strong S&P 500 earnings growth and the seemingly excessive valuation of technology stocks in the market today. On balance, we believe the current environment bodes well for a continued strong stock market next year, as money flows should pick up now that Y2K is behind us.

J. Forelli/J. Saef Your balanced Fund returned a strong 8.94% during the fourth quarter of 1999. The strong equity markets led your performance gain. The equity portion led your performance gain with a fourth quarter return of 12.25%. Your Fund had particularly good performance in financial and healthcare stocks including Citigroup, Kansas City Southern Industries (owner of Janus Mutual Funds), Genentech and Warner Lambert. We avoided many technology stocks trading in excess of 50 times earnings, as we did not believe their future earnings growth justified those valuations. We remain focused on finding cheap stocks with improving fundamentals and controlling risk in your Fund during this period of excessive valuation. On the fixed income side, your Fund beat the bond market (Lehman Aggregate Bond Index) by a 0.11% in the fourth quarter as corporate and mortgage bonds performed quite well. Asset Allocation remained at an approximate 75% Equity/25% Fixed Income mix throughout the quarter. The equity and fixed income markets went in opposite directions during 1999. Equity investors remain enamored with the strong economic environment, the free spending consumer and low inflation. Bond investors continue to be fearful of Fed interest rate hikes, low unemployment and wage pressures. We are focusing on both strong S&P 500 earnings growth and the seemingly excessive valuation of technology stocks in the market today. On balance, we believe the current environment bodes well for a continued strong stock market next year, as money flows should pick up now that Y2K is behind us. We also expect that broader economic growth and greater earnings breadth should lead to a wider participation in market leadership. We also believe the bond market could rally nicely once Fed rate increases are behind us sometime during the second quarter of 2000.

Management Team The International Balanced Fund provided a 6.3% return for the fourth quarter, which lagged the Fund's benchmark return of 10.5%. The calendar year return for the Fund was 5.1%, versus the benchmark return of 15.4%. The international equity markets were strong in the final months of 1999, lead by growth stocks primarily in the technology and telecommunication sector. The technology explosion was not limited to the U.S. market, and many developed markets such as Japan and the U.K. were driven by the industry move. In general, international equity markets performed well for the year, as the global bond market returns were much weaker due to central banks' concern for future inflation. The allocation decision to underweight equities and overweight bonds was the single greatest detractor from the Fund's overall performance for the year. In spite of the increase in long-term discount rates and high market volatility, outperformance occurred in the most "aggressive" sectors of the equity markets. The price/earning multiples on the class of high growth companies has expanded further, while the debt market reflects market uncertainty, as evidenced by widening treasury yield spreads. The Fund is defensively positioned, as we remain wary of the disconnect between bonds and equities. For the calendar year, the Asian equity markets were the best performers, and the portfolio benefited from the overweight in Japan. Stocks that performed well in the portfolio included Nokia, Sony, Fanuc and Toyota. The consistently best performing industries across all equity markets were electronics and telecommunications, which also coincides with our view that they are the most expensive. Within the Fund, we continue to emphasize non-U.S. bond markets over equities. Our conservative approach to global capital markets was not rewarded in 1999, but our conviction has not faltered. There is an equity bubble in a sector of the economy related to the "new era" technology, and increasing evidence suggests that the equity markets are ripe for a correction.

The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund consists of thirty-one portfolios: Large Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Aggressive Balanced, Sovereign Bond, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, Global Equity, International Equity, Small Cap Growth, International Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large/Mid Cap Value, Money Market, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth (formerly, Diversified Mid Cap Growth), Bond Index, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, Small Cap Value, International Opportunities, Equity Index, High Yield Bond and Global Bond (formerly, Strategic Bond) Portfolios. The Fund may add or delete portfolios in the future to accommodate various investment objectives. The Fund has issued shares of beneficial interest exclusively to John Hancock Variable Life Account U ("JHVLAU"), John Hancock Variable Life Account V ("JHVLAV"), John Hancock Variable Life Account S ("JHVLAS"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account I ("JHVAAI") to fund policies and contracts issued by the John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company ("JHVLICO"), and to John Hancock Variable Annuity Account U ("JHVAAU"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account V ("JHVAAV"), John Hancock Mutual Variable Life Insurance Account UV ("JHMVLAUV"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account H ("JHVAAH"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account JF ("JHVAAJF") to fund contracts and policies issued by John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock") and to Investors Partner Life Account L ("IPLL") to fund contracts and policies issued by Investors Partner Life ("IPL"). NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Valuation of Investments: For the Large Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Aggressive Balanced, Emerging Markets Equity, Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Managed, Small Cap Value, and Equity Index Portfolios: Common stocks and other such securities traded on national exchanges are normally valued on the basis of closing prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities with no sales on the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price. For the Sovereign Bond, Bond Index, Managed, Short-Term Bond, High Yield Bond and Global Bond Portfolios: Debt investment securities having a primary market over-the-counter are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. For the Money Market Portfolio: The Board of Trustees has determined that the appropriate method for valuing Portfolio securities is amortized cost, so long as the average weighted maturity of money market instruments comprising the Portfolio does not exceed 90 days. Accordingly, Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the Portfolio. For each of the Portfolios, short-term investments, with a maturity not to exceed 60 days, are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For the International Equity Index, Global Equity, International Equity, International Balanced and International Opportunities Portfolios: Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges in the United States or on equivalent foreign exchanges are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on such exchanges as of the close of business on the date of which assets are valued. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities traded 159 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I December 31, 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED with no sales on the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price. All Portfolio securities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies have been translated into U.S. Dollars as described in "Currency Translation." Investment securities for which no current market quotations are readily available, including certain foreign securities, when held by the Portfolios, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Investment security transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income for the Large Cap Growth, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, Global Equity, International Equity, International Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Growth & Income, Managed, Small Cap Value, International Opportunities and Equity Index Portfolios are shown net of foreign taxes withheld of $2, $18, $388, $19, $5, $33, $1, $24, $1, $377, $295, $1, $142 and $40, respectively. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Securities Lending: Certain Portfolios (Large Cap Growth, Sovereign Bond, International Equity Index, Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Growth & Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, International Opportunities and Global Bond) may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these Portfolios negotiated lender fees. These fees are included in interest income. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with other extensions of credit, these Funds may bear the risk of delay of the loaned securities in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. At December 31, 1999, the market value of the securities loaned and the market value of the collateral were as follows.

A Portfolio will enter into repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in United States government securities. The underlying securities, which represent the collateral of the agreement, must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. A Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. Joint Repurchase Agreements: The Sovereign Bond and Small Cap Growth Portfolios of the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having a management contract with John Hancock Advisers, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock, may participate in a joint repurchase agreement pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The International Equity, Large Cap Value CORE and Small/Mid Cap CORE Portfolios of the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having a management contract with Goldman Sachs Asset Management (the "Sub-Adviser"), may participate in a joint repurchase agreement pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Sub-Adviser is responsible for ensuring that the agreement is fully collateralized at all times. Joint Trading Account: Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the order permits the existing Portfolios of the Fund to pool daily uninvested cash balances, together with the balances of any future Portfolios of the Fund, into a joint account for the purpose of investing the cash balances in short-term repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term investments which in no event will have a maturity in excess of seven days.

At the time the Portfolio enters into a financial futures contract, it will be required to deposit with its custodian a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities, known as "initial margin." Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodities exchange. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. 161 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I December 31, 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio recognizes a gain or a loss. Risk of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. In addition, the Portfolio could be prevented from opening or realizing the benefits of closing out futures positions because of position limits or limits on daily price fluctuations imposed by an exchange. At December 31, 1999, open positions in financial futures contracts were as follows: Sovereign Bond Portfolio Face Expiration Amount Unrealized Sold Date at Value Gain - ---- ---------- -------- ---------- 86 contracts U.S. Long Bond Future ..............

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Fund may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage a Portfolio's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the Portfolio's investments against currency fluctuations. Neither type of foreign currency transaction will eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Portfolio's securities or prevent loss if the price of such securities should decline. The U.S. dollar value of a forward foreign currency contract is determined using forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Realized gain (loss) on the purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts is recognized on settlement date. Currency Translation: For Portfolios that trade in international securities: all assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on London currency exchange quotations as of 5:00 p.m., London time, on the date of any determination of the net asset value of the Fund. Unrealized exchange adjustments are included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Transactions affecting statement of operations accounts and net realized gain (loss) on investments are translated at the rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. 163 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I December 31, 1999 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED Dividends: A dividend of its net investment income will be declared and distributed daily by the Money Market Portfolio. Dividends of net investment income will be declared and distributed monthly by all other Portfolios. Each Portfolio will distribute all of its net realized capital gains annually, at the end of its fiscal year. Federal Income Taxes: Each of the Portfolios of the Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of December 31, 1999, the Fund had approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforwards, which may be applied against any net taxable gains, as follows: Sovereign Bond had $21,049, which expires in 2007; Global Equity had $281, which expires in 2006; Money Market had $14, which expires in 2007; Mid Cap Value had $8,121, which expires in 2006 and $1,558, which expires in 2007; Bond Index had $158, which expires in 2007; Small/Mid Cap CORE had $25, which expires in 2006; Real Estate Equity had $4,280, which expires in 2007; Short-Term Bond had $131, which expires in 2006 and $1,304, which expires in 2007; Small Cap Value had $1,445, which expires in 2006; High Yield Bond had $276, which expires in 2007; and Global Bond had $1,234, which expires in 2007.

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 1999, by correspondence with the custodian or brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the respective portfolios constituting John Hancock Variable Series Trust I at December 31, 1999, the results of their operations for the period then ended, and the changes in their net assets and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Boston, Massachusetts February 10, 2000 173 Officers and Trustees Michele G.

May Lose Value Dear Shareholder, [PHOTO OF THOMAS J. LEE] President and Vice Chairman Financial markets have been wild over the past few months, to say the least. The changes going on in the economy and government actions have had a dramatic effect on the stock market and the economy in general. The Federal Reserve's stated goal of slowing the U.S. economy has dominated debate in financial markets during the first half of 2000. Alan Greenspan and his colleagues are fully convinced that inflation, driven by rising wages, will rebound if strong job growth continues to drive unemployment down to new record lows. They have raised short-term interest rates six times over the past year, and the impact of those tightening moves is now appearing in signs of weaker home-building and auto sales, slower retail sales, and job growth. Nonetheless, the overall level of economic activity and corporate profits remains very healthy, and it may take more rate hikes by the Fed to prevent the economic boom from speeding up once again. To better assist our Variable Series Trust shareholders through rapidly changing and volatile economic time periods, we continually evaluate and implement ideas to help add stability to our variable life and variable annuity products and services. An important service offered to our shareholders for these products is Dollar-Cost Averaging-depositing equal amounts of money at regular intervals into your John Hancock Variable Life or Variable Annuity products. This ensures that you buy fewer shares when prices are high and more shares when prices are low. We've also developed asset allocation tools which help you to diversify your investment mix among various asset classes. An asset allocation strategy attempts to lower your overall investment risk by increasing the number and types of funds you're invested in. Contact your representative if you're interested in learning more about how an asset allocation strategy can work for you. Change. Adaptability. These are the watchwords that we use in monitoring the Variable Series Trust. Much of our time is devoted to ensure that we change and adapt quickly enough to provide you with the best possible products and funds available in the marketplace today.

VAN LEER] Chairman Sincerely, /s/Michele G. Van Leer /s/Thomas J. Lee Michele G. Van Leer Thomas J. Lee Chairman President and Vice Chairman Economic Overview John Hancock Economic Research The US economy continued to defy expectations in the first half of 2000. Growth not only exceeded all estimates of a sustainable long-term pace, but actually accelerated from the first quarter to the second. Despite this rapid growth, unemployment remained in a narrow range around 4%, and inflation showed few signs of life aside from the impact of higher oil prices. In financial markets, Treasury bond rates have declined from their peaks early this year, but this has been mainly the result of increasing budget surpluses which reduce the government's borrowing needs. Corporate bond yields have not declined, and short-term rates have continued to rise as the Federal Reserve attempts to cool the economy. Home mortgage rates remain higher than last year, and have contributed to a slowdown in housing markets. Stock prices have been volatile throughout the year, reacting to every twist and turn of data that might hint at an economic slowdown or a revival of inflation. All the major indices are down from their peaks, but with corporate profits still healthy, inflation still absent, and the Fed at least temporarily on hold, there has been no ongoing slump in the markets. Investors in both stock and bonds, as well as economic forecasters, have spent much of 2000 studying--somewhat obsessively--Alan Greenspan's pronouncements for hints of his intentions. So far, he has expressed guarded optimism about the ability of the US economy to sustain rapid growth, and a consensus has developed that, barring accidents, he has finished tightening. He appears to believe that the last few years' rapid productivity growth represents a structural improvement in the performance of the economy. The importance of this is that it implies that we need only a mild economic slowdown to rein in the boom and get the economy back to a sustainable pace of expansion. The soft landing: it's not yet a sure thing The outlook both for the economy and for financial markets is driven by the quest for a "soft landing"--a slowdown to a sustainable pace of growth. We are inclined to believe that the Fed has successfully steered us between the opposing dangers of recession and inflation, but the data is still mixed. Despite the acceleration of GDP in the second quarter of 2000, there are strong signals of more moderate growth ahead. Inventories--a notoriously volatile component--more than accounted for the second-quarter speed-up, while consumer spending, the principal driver of the boom so far, slowed sharply. Since this has been Alan Greenspan's chief worry, with stock market gains fuelling unsustainable consumer spending, the restraint is reassuring. Other data also suggest slower growth: housing and auto sales have cooled off, at least to the extent of growing slower, retail sales have moderated, and the trend in new job creation seems to have slowed. But it's not a sure thing. There have been signs of a slowdown before--for example, during the financial turmoil in 1998--and each time the economic boom has bounced right back. Even now some numbers hint at a rebound. Business equipment spending is still very strong, consumer confidence is high, unemployment is low, and rising wages are driving incomes and consumer spending in the latest monthly data. Inflation: so far it's just oil prices The Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose at a 4% annual pace in the first quarter, and was still running at over 3% in the second. However, excluding the ups and downs of food and energy prices, inflation remained under 3%, and there has been remarkably little impact of oil prices on other goods and services. The Fed's chief inflation worry is still the job market, where it fears that 30-year lows in unemployment will drive up wages and force companies to raise prices. So far, despite signing bonuses, stock options and other forms of increased compensation, there is no evidence in the national statistics that wages are increasing much faster than productivity. It's true that firms face intense competition to hire good workers, but they also face intense competition for sales which discourages price hikes. The danger of inflation has not disappeared despite the recent benign experience. If productivity slows, or even if it stops accelerating, we could have a period in which rising labor costs finally force firms to raise prices. While this risk appears to be much smaller than we would have guessed a few years ago, it can never wholly vanish. This is the reason why Alan Greenspan has raised interest rates six times since June, 1999, and it is why he may do so again if economic growth and inflation data raise danger signals during the months ahead. 1 Inception: March 29, 1986 Growth & Income Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Paul F. McManus The Growth & Income Fund outperformed the S&P 500 in the second quarter and is in line with the index through mid year. The fund had modest overweights in the Health Care, and Financial groups and was modestly underweighted in Consumer Products, Energy and Technology. Strong performance in the drug group from names like Pfizer (which merged with Warner Lambert, also owned), Schering Plough and Allergan Pharmaceutical positively impacted fund performance. Banks were another area of successful stock selection as Mellon Financial, Chase Manhattan and CitiGroup helped performance. Given the increased interest rate environment, investors sold retail and cyclical names. The fund had exposure to Target, Gap Stores and Federated Department Stores during the quarter. We believe that they are attractive at current valuations, particularly Gap Stores which is expected to accelerate its revenue growth as the year progresses. In the technology area performance was helped by names like Hewlett Packard, Cisco, ADC Telecomm and Teredyne. Earlier in the year and in the fourth quarter of 1999, technology speculation reached a peak and as interest rates rose, the group sold off beginning in March. Our strategy all along has been to select high quality, reasonably valued technology stocks and this has served the fund well amidst the volatility in the sector. As we look out to the balance of 2000, we expect interest rates to peak as the economy slows down from it's strong first half growth pace. Oil prices should ease as OPEC countries increase production during a period of economic deceleration and this will be beneficial to the inflation rate. If rates do indeed decline in the coming months, the stock market should respond favorably. In particular, value based strategies selecting stocks that have attractive prices and improving fundamental trends should do well. [GRAPH] Historical Fund Return Growth and Income S&P 500.

For the quarter, the Index suffered a -2.66% return and is also in negative territory, -0.42%, for the first six months of 2000. For the first six months of the year the portfolio performed in line with expectations, trailing the benchmark by 0.08%. Since the inception of the fund in May of 1997, it has returned 22.73% on an annualized basis. The portfolio team continues to attempt to track the performance of the Index by fully replicating the weights of the securities held in the Index. This strategy is consistent with our long-standing policy of managing S&P 500 portfolios. General Electric is once again the largest security weight within the Index, accounting for 4.19% of the S&P 500. Overall, the top ten names in the Index total 26.65% of the benchmark weight.

Rowe Price Associates, Inc. Brian C. Rogers Following a sharp advance during the first quarter of 2000, domestic stocks stumbled badly in April, then spent the past two months trying to recover. The Fed hiked short-term rates three times in the first half, for a total of six times since June 1999, which eventually took its toll on most sectors of the market. The equity income group rallied somewhat after a long period of stagnation, but still finished in negative territory. Fund performance reflected the overall weakness with a small loss in the face of a major sell-off in the so-called New Economy sectors. The fund's underweighting in technology spared it from further damage during the challenging first six months of 2000. TOTAL RETURNS FOR PERIODS ENDED 6/30/00 --------------- 6 MONTHS 1 YEAR - ----------------------------------------- Large Cap Value Fund -2.32% -9.99% - ----------------------------------------- Russell 1000 Value Index -4.23% -8.92% - ----------------------------------------- As mentioned in previous reports, value stocks had been selling at the greatest price/earnings discount to the general market in 25 years. The major contributors to positive performance were Baker Hughes, up 53%; American Home Products, up 50%; Pharmacia, up 46%; Starwood Hotels & Resorts, up 40%; Reader's Digest, up 36%; and Disney, up 33%. There were laggards as well. Among them were Unisys and BMC Software, each off 54% for the six-month period; Armstrong World, down 51%; Hercules, down 48%; Proctor & Gamble, off 47%; and International Paper, down 46%. The fund remained well-diversified among industries, with 21% of assets in consumer nondurables, 17% in financial stocks, 14% in energy, 14% in utilities, and the rest scattered across other industrial sectors. We made several purchases in the first half as their valuations became more attractive, including Vodafone AirTouch, Rockwell International, Motorola, Unisys, Microsoft, and BMC Software. We believe further rate hikes may be possible in coming months. However, there are signs of slowing in economic growth and the Fed could be nearing the end of its tightening cycle. The purpose of the higher rates is to slow the economy from its robust pace of the past few quarters and constrain inflation within acceptable bounds. We think these efforts will succeed without pushing the economy into a recession. As investors anticipate more favorable trends on inflation and interest rates, we expect moderate returns through the rest of the year for domestic stocks, including the equity income sector of the market.

When managing the Fund, we do not take size or sector bets. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks favored by fundamental research analysts, and less volatile stocks with lower-than-average probability of reporting disappointing earnings. Over the long term, these four investment themes (Growth/Momentum, Value, Stability and Research) have led to excess returns, although they typically do not all work well simultaneously. During the second quarter, returns were driven by different CORE themes each month. For instance, the Value theme fared well among Russell 1000 Value stocks in April, but fared poorly in May and June. Our Momentum and Stability themes fared poorly in both April and May, then rallied to contribute positively in June. Finally, our Research theme fared well in April, then detracted from returns in May and June. The swings from record low to record high monthly returns for our CORE themes reflects the high level of market volatility experienced during the quarter. Return dispersion--the spread between the best- and worst-performing stocks-- reached at least a twenty-year high in June, after being near record levels year to date. Industry exposures also contributed positively to returns during the quarter, largely driven by a small overweight in pharmaceuticals. No significant changes to the Fund's investment strategy occurred in the second quarter. However, we continually evaluate the effectiveness of the process, and, as we find new features which we believe will add to the Fund's performance, we may add these to the Fund's investment process and strategy. We intend to maintain our disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing despite possible continued volatility in the U.S. equity markets throughout the remainder of 2000. In fact, we believe that careful risk management such as that which defines the CORE process is of paramount importance in such a volatile environment, when small bets can have much larger than expected consequences. Through our combined qualitative and quantitative strategy for selecting stocks, we believe we have the potential to generate solid long-term returns for the shareholders of the Fund.

Donnelly/K. McCloskey The American Leaders Large Cap Value Fund commenced investment operations on June 30, 2000, and the Fund was invested in short-term United States Treasuries as of the market close on that date. The Fund was fully invested in equities on July 3, 2000. The Fund seeks to identify large, leading companies that are trading at significant discounts to their inherent franchise values. To accomplish this goal, the Fund utilizes a proprietary valuation model and conducts rigorous qualitative analysis of the fundamentals of each company before a purchase decision is made. The Fund seeks to outperform the Russell 1000 Value Index and the S&P/Barra Value Index on an annual basis. The Fund also seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index over a full market cycle. 6 Inception: March 29, 1986 Large Cap Growth Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Mark Lapman The Large Cap Growth Fund returned -1.51% in the second quarter of 2000, exceeding the Russell 1000 Growth index return of -2.70%. The market rotation out of overpriced hyper-growth stocks into securities with an attractive combination of cheapness and improving fundamentals continued into the second quarter. Since the broadening began in March, your fund has outperformed its benchmark by over 4%. Investors witnessed a rotation out of premium priced technology, telecom and biotech stocks into undervalued securities in sectors with solid earnings prospects, such as pharmaceuticals, energy and financials. Investments that outperformed include Warner-Lambert, El Paso Energy and American General. Previous winners in telecom and computer software were weak, and retailers such as Gap and Circuit City were crushed as higher interest rates caused investors to worry about a potential reduction in consumer spending. Investors now need to be choosy in the technology companies that they hold, focusing on those that are fundamentally sound, with innovative products, earnings growth and strong management. We believe stocks such as Veritas, Oracle, and Cisco meet all of these criteria, and thus we hold them in your fund. It is clear that after six interest rate hikes, U.S. economic growth will moderate. With higher than expected initial jobless claims, weakening retails sales and slowing housing starts, consumer confidence is beginning to erode, albeit from a high level. Although we believe that the Fed will be successful in achieving a soft landing, we expect the stock market to remain volatile as investors struggle to assess the outcome. Stock selection will be especially important during this period of uncertainty. With our stock selection skill, valuation discipline and emphasis on diversification, we are extremely well positioned to add value in this environment.

J. Fogarty/A. Harrison For the six months ending June 30, 2000, the Fund returned 2.22% compared to the S&P 500 Index return of -0.4% and the Russell 1000 Growth Index return of 4.2%. The outperformance compared to the broad S&P 500 was due to solid stock selection specifically in technology and healthcare. Within technology, communications equipment, software and semiconductor makers continued to report robust earnings growth. Healthcare experienced strong gains as investors seeking protection from the market turbulence during April and May were drawn to stable earnings growth, attractive relative valuations and a perception that the political climate remains positive for the rest of the year. The Series modestly underperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index due to its underweight in technology stocks, which comprised approximately 40% of the portfolio, compared to almost 60% for the Index. We maintain a positive view about the industry dominant, high growth companies in the portfolio that are growing their earnings on average more than 20% which compares favorably to the earnings growth rate for the average S&P 500 company of 10-12%. The correction in technology stocks that saw the NASDAQ fall over 20% from its record March high through the end of June has had the beneficial effect of deflating the speculative bubble in the stock market. However, there still exists a valuation gap between most technology stocks and the rest of the market specifically financials and basic materials stocks. This valuation gap coupled with an economic landscape that is unclear is likely to lead to continued volatility in the market which we will take advantage of by actively trading our core holdings to add incremental return. Balancing our positive view of economic and earnings fundamentals with a cautious view on valuations, the Fund remains broadly diversified with technology, consumer services, financials and healthcare the areas of emphasis.

Chu/L. Gabriel During the second quarter, the Large/Mid Cap Value Fund decreased -5.65%, underperforming the Fund's benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index, which fell - -4.7% for the quarter ended June 30, 2000. Since Inception, on September 1, 1999, the Fund has returned 2.2%, compared to a -2.6% return by the benchmark. The second quarter of 2000 was characterized by weak results in global equity markets. The modest second quarter returns of most US equity indices masked the level of volatility present during the second quarter. The Russell 1000 Value Index outperformed the Russell 1000 Growth Index (by roughly 350 basis points in April and 350 basis points in May), but the momentum reversed in June and the Value index underperformed the Growth index. During the quarter, the Fund's sector weights were kept closely in line with those of the Russell 1000 Value Index. The sectors in the Fund that added the most value were information technology, health care, and industrial and commercial. On the negative side, stock selection within information and entertainment, utilities, and finance hurt performance. Some of the Fund's largest contributors through stock selection during the quarter include: Cigna which was the Fund's top performer, First Data, which showed strong earnings growth during the quarter, and Convergys which was a strong performer in the industrial and commercial sector. As we begin the third quarter of 2000, we continue to believe that broad diversification across economic sectors is a central tenet of the investment strategy. We anticipate further rate hikes by the Federal Reserve in order to slow the US economy. In a tightening interest rate environment, we remain bullish on the outlook for the large-cap value sector going forward. We will continue to look for opportunities in large cap stocks that represent value through active fund management.

Although the fund had a difficult 2nd quarter, due in part to its poor performing technology holdings and an uncertain economic environment, its Year to Date total return continues to outpace the Russell Mid Cap Value Index by over 600 basis points (5.64% vs. -0.69%). Our Utility and Energy holdings performed well in the second quarter, spurred on by high natural gas and crude oil prices. Top contributors from the two sectors include the following: Anadarko Petroleum, an oil and gas exploration and production company in the process of merging with Union Pacific Resources; Coastal Corp., a natural gas company merging with El Paso Energy; and AES Corp., a global independent power producer. The Financial Services sector contributed positively to returns as a result of good stock selection and a relatively heavy weighting in the fund. Property and casualty insurer ACE Ltd. and student loan provider SLM Holdings both had a positive impact on returns. Unfortunately, a few of our Technology holdings were hit hard by negative sentiment within the sector. Comdisco was one drag on fund returns and Parametric Technology, despite being disposed of early in the quarter, was another. EchoStar Communications and Smurfit-Stone Container, both of which were removed from the fund, detracted from returns. Looking forward we remain positive about the future. We have had a strong first half, and while technology stocks generally had a difficult second quarter, they have recovered, and we are confident that companies with good fundamentals will deliver long term superior performance. We feel comfortable with the fund's overall structure and look forward to the challenges of the second half of the year.

Coreen Kraysler The Mid Cap Blend Fund had a strong second quarter, returning -.28%, well ahead of the Frank Russell Mid Cap Index return of -4.51%. Excitement continued to mount over the possibilities of major advancements in medicine as the human genome is sequenced. As a result, holdings in biotech and medical technology such as Waters, Medimmune, CV Therapeutics, QLT Phototherapeutics and Cephalon were all strong. Oil stocks, such as El Paso Energy and Anadarko Petroleum were also strong, as rising oil prices propelled earnings higher. As investors perceived that interest rates were peaking, financial holdings such as Lincoln National and Aon performed well. Although technology stocks rallied in June, the group was weak overall during the quarter as investors rotated out of premium priced stocks into sectors with solid earnings prospects, such as pharmaceuticals and financials. However, select technology names performed well, with holdings in Portal Software, Convergys and Vitesse Semiconductor producing returns well ahead of the market. In general, software and semiconductor names were weak, and holdings in Citrix Systems and Applied Micro Circuits underperformed. Retailers such as Circuit City were also weak due to investors fears regarding a potential slowdown in consumer spending. Going forward, it is clear that after six interest rate hikes, U.S. economic growth will moderate. In fact, we have already begun to see signs of a slowdown in some of the recently reported economic statistics, including retail sales, housing starts and the unemployment data. We believe that the Fed will be successful in its attempt to engineer a soft landing, and that this environment will be favorable for the stock market. The Mid Cap Blend Fund is well positioned to benefit from these trends.

Outstanding fundamental performances by many of our companies allowed them to overcome an increase in volatility to post strong gains. For example, growth in demand for SDL's optical networking gear has been so strong that the company announced its second-quarter earnings would outpace last year's by nearly 140%. For its part, payroll processor Paychex once again surprised Wall Street analysts by logging a better-than-expected 36% increase in earnings. Both companies were among our top performers. There were setbacks, however, including lackluster performances by several of our telecommunications and technology stocks. Internet advertising leader DoubleClick was caught in a sharp sell-off of technology shares that began in March. The company also suffered from concerns about the sustainability of advertising spending as the economy decelerates, delivering a "one-two punch" to the stock that forced DoubleClick into the red for the period. Looking forward, the prospect of a more stable interest rate environment is encouraging. The first-quarter earnings season was perhaps the best showing for our companies I have ever witnessed. We believe second-quarter earnings, due to be released by many our holdings over the next few weeks, will be just as healthy. If the overhang related to interest rate uncertainty has indeed finally been lifted, our performance should reflect that strength. Meanwhile, we will continue to search for companies capable of producing stable, long- term growth regardless of the market environment, always leveraging the detailed, company-level research upon which the Janus reputation is built.

Funke 14 Inception: August 31, 1999 Small/Mid Cap Value Fund The Boston Company Asset Management, LLC Peter I. Higgins After a very strong first quarter, the smaller capitalization market was down slightly in the second quarter as measured by the Russell 2500 Value Index. The Small/Mid Cap Value Fund had a positive quarter; up 4.37% while the Russell 2500 Value Index was down 0.60%. Year-to-date the Fund is up 18.14% while the Russell 2500 Value is up 4.05%. The Small/Mid Cap Value Fund was up 4.16% for the second quarter. Our holdings in the energy, financial services and capital goods sectors were up nicely and outperformed their respective sectors in the index. Our energy holdings, with emphasis on natural gas exploration and production and energy service companies, were again a successful strategy. In the financial services area our focus is on diversified insurance and investment services organizations. We have continued to underweight banks as higher interest rates and loan loss concerns have negatively impacted the group. Our capital goods holdings are broadly diversified with representation in industrial, agricultural and defense equipment industries as well as environmental services and related areas. Our technology holdings were down slightly for the quarter but did better than the technology sector of the index. Our investments here include holdings in database and engineering software, computer component manufacturers, electronics distribution companies as well as computer service companies. We continue to emphasize the group as the stocks represent good value and growth prospects appear favorable. Sectors that did not do well include basic industries, consumer services, and selected health care companies. In general these stocks underperformed due to disappointing earnings and slowing growth expectations. Going forward, global economic growth should continue to be positive. We believe that the portfolio is well positioned and we do not anticipate a significant change in our economic sector weighting for the coming quarter.

When managing the Fund, we do not take size or sector bets. Our quantitative process seeks out stocks with good momentum that also appear to be good values. We prefer stocks favored by fundamental research analysts, and less volatile stocks with lower-than-average probability of reporting disappointing earnings. Over the long term, these four investment themes (Growth/Momentum, Value, Stability and Research) led to excess returns, although they typically do not all work well simultaneously. For instance, during the second quarter, both our Value and Momentum themes contributed positively to returns. Notably, Value's strength was a result of strength in the first two months of the quarter, whereas Momentum fared best April and June. Our Stability theme had its worst month ever among small/mid capitalization stocks in April, but rallied to one of its best months ever in June. Only our Research theme failed to produce results in line with our expectations each month of the quarter. No significant changes to the Fund's investment strategy occurred in the second quarter. However, we continually evaluate the effectiveness of the process, and, as we find new features which we believe will add to the Fund's performance, we may add these to the Fund's investment process and strategy. We intend to maintain our disciplined, long-term approach to equity investing despite possible continued volatility in the U.S. equity markets throughout the remainder of 2000. In fact, we believe that careful risk management such as that which defines the CORE process is of paramount importance in such a volatile environment, when small bets can have much larger than expected consequences. We continue to believe that through our combined qualitative and quantitative strategy for selecting stocks, we have the potential to generate solid long-term returns for the shareholders of the Fund.

Wisneski For the quarter, Small/Mid-Cap Growth Fund showed modest positive returns, rising 1.4% compared with the Russell 2500 Growth Index which fell by 4.5%. Year-to-date, the Fund is up 8.6% versus 7.2% for the index. We increased or added to positions in several Internet, software, communications equipment, and semiconductor-related companies. Health care and energy sectors also received attention with increased positions or new holdings. With the economy slowing and interest rate trends uncertain, the quarter witnessed reductions in the consumer discretionary and finance sectors. Slow growth and a volatile equity market (with an expected downward bias) leaves us comfortable with a higher than normal cash positioning although we expect to work these reserves back into the market as prices warrant. While the Fund is now more represented in some of the faster growing areas of technology, our long standing strategy is not designed to fully participate in markets such as occurred during the second half of 1999 through the first months of 2000. If the markets revert to valuation/profitability standards that existed prior to twelve months ago, the Fund should continue to rapidly make up the past relative performance shortfalls. Our reading now is that, at least for the next several months, the markets will remain skeptical and relatively sensitive to over-valuation concerns. The extent of the economic slowdown and its impact on corporate profits will displace the focus on inflation and interest rates that has consumed the markets during the past year. While we don't expect recession worries to surface, there will be increasing concern about the growth rate of corporate profits. This environment, should it develop, would be beneficial to our strategy, which remains focused on companies with relatively predictable, non cyclical, growth dynamics.

Peter Mitsopoulos 25 Inception: May 1, 1994 Short-Term Bond Fund Independence Investment Associates, Inc. Jay Leu There was a dramatic shift in tone in the bond market over the quarter. U.S. Treasury rates rose sharply during the first half and fell sharply thereafter. Economic data released in May showed signs of a slowing economy and easing of inflationary pressures mitigating the trend of worrisome numbers released in April. Investment grade corporate bonds underperformed Treasury securities in the second quarter. April and May marked the fourth and fifth straight months of underperformance for investment grade corporates, however sentiment seems to have shifted in the corporate bond sector in June as investors anticipated less aggressive tightening by the Federal Reserve and looked for alternatives to Agency bonds. Lower quality bonds, which have lagged higher quality bonds throughout the year and the second quarter, outperformed as well in June. The Short Term Bond Fund outperformed its benchmark for the quarter despite the difficult environment for corporate bonds. This is the fourth consecutive quarter that the fund has outperformed its benchmark. The fund continues to benefit from a yield advantage provided by an overweight in corporate securities relative to the benchmark. The yield spread of one to three year maturity corporate bonds widened by 20 basis points during the quarter, hurting the fund's performance relative to the benchmark. Our individual securities held in the fund outperformed relative to the average corporate bond in the benchmark. Strong performers included: Tenet Healthcare, Beckman Instruments, Cox Communications, MCI Worldcom Inc., and Tyco International. Going forward, we believe short maturity corporate bonds are attractively priced relative to corporates and we will continue to overweight them. Furthermore, corporate bonds should benefit from a less aggressive Federal Reserve policy. Issue selection will, however, continue to be an important contributing factor to the Fund's performance as well.

Performance net of fees for the fund was 2.02% for June, 1.32% for the second quarter and 9.38% (unannualized) from inception. Corresponding returns for the benchmark were 2.04%, 1.45% and 9.38%. The fund uses a representative sample of issues selected through proprietary quantitative techniques. Selected issues have the best risk-adjusted expected return and, as a group, match the characteristics of the 4,800 issues in the Index including price sensitivity, industry, and quality exposures. An indexed fund typically eliminates many risks associated with active management and has lower fees and expenses. Lehman Brothers made numerous classification and rules changes to the Index effective July 1st. The name was changed to the Lehman Brothers Government Credit Index to reflect that there are credit characteristics inherent in issuers that are not corporations, namely sovereigns. The changes were substantially market neutral, but they are worth noting. Yankee Corporates will now be classified along side their domestic counterparts instead of as a separate subsector. The foreign sector will include only Supranationals, Sovereigns, foreign local governments and foreign agencies. Telecommunications were unbundled into wireless, wirelines and Internet & data. Bank notes and ERISA-eligible144As with registration rights will now be included in the Index. There were additional adjustments that will not effect this fund or its benchmark at this time. We successfully incorporated these changes to the fund by the end of June. [GRAPH] Bond Index Fund Lehman Brothers Gov't/Corp.

James Ho During the quarter overall, the Fund gained 1.78%, compared to the Lehman Aggregate index at 1.74%. Year-to-date the Fund's return of 3.36% underperformed the index return of 3.98%. Underperformance can primarily be attributed to spreads widening across most sectors of the bond market through May. At quarter-end, the portfolio held a 17.8% position in Treasuries versus the index weighting of 39.5%, and a 32.1% in corporate bonds versus 19.9% held by the index. Given the strong relative performance of Treasuries during the quarter, our underweight position in this sector relative to the benchmark detracted from performance results. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled for August 22. The Federal funds futures rate suggests that investors anticipate a quarter-point rate increase. Bonds currently offer good value and they should rally strongly when the Fed's policy moves show more evidence of restraining inflation. We remain optimistic that investment grade corporate bonds will provide excellent performance over the next few months, as the Fed tightening cycle winds down. While the emerging markets have had exceptionally good performance year-to-date, the limited liquidity and the continued volatility presently keep us from committing additional funds to this market sector.

The duration position was slightly longer than the benchmark at quarter's end. Looking ahead, transactions will focus on adding spread product such as agencies, corporates, mortgage-backed and asset- backed securities to more clearly reflect both the focus of the portfolio as a core bond portfolio and the portfolio's comparison to the benchmark. We expect to transition to a portfolio overweighted in spread product and slightly longer in duration compared to the benchmark. Our yield curve stance for now will remain roughly laddered. 29 Inception: May 1, 1996 Global Bond Fund J.P. Morgan Investment Management, Inc. David Gibbon The Global Bond Fund returned 1.21% for the quarter ending June 30, 2000 versus the J.P. Morgan GBI Hedged Index return of 1.72%. Although the long duration position of the fund within the U.S. and Europe were positives contributors to the fund's performance during the first half of the year, it dragged down performance during the second half. Later in the year returns to our curve flattening positions were mixed; European curves flattened sharply on repricing of monetary policy expectations, while Japanese rates were stable but the curve remained steep. In addition, the fund's underexposure to Japan caused us to miss some positive carry in that market. Yield spreads on non-government sectors widened in the second half, causing these securities to underperform similar-maturity governments. Heavy supply imbalances and credit concerns in all markets drove this underperformance. The fund's non-government bonds were reduced throughout the first half of the year, but detracted from total excess returns. Marked weakening in non-Japan Asian industrial activity and deteriorating US industrial confidence underpin our continued bullish outlook for government bonds. We also expect the current spate of strong European indicators to give way to moderation in the second half, falling from their peak. As global industrial activity dampens, we expect the marked deterioration in inflation expectations to reverse and support lower government yields. We anticipate modest further tightening in Europe and the US, together with an end to the zero-rate policy in Japan, in coming months, but regard the end to the global policy tightening cycle to be close.

Since inception, on April 30, 1998, the return on the Fund has been .03%, compared to the -0.3% return of the Lehman HY Index. In the first quarter of 2000, the US high yield market, as measured by the Lehman HY Index, had a return of 1.2%. This performance lagged the 1.7% return of investment grade bonds, as measured by the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Index. This underperformance of the high yield market versus higher quality bonds came from the widening of the spread of high yield versus the 10-year treasury from 648 basis points on March 31st to 661 basis points on June 30, 2000. This spread widening was significantly less than 137 basis points of widening that occurred in the first quarter. Within high yield, lower quality ("B-rated") bonds continued to lag higher quality bonds ("BB-rated") in the second quarter. The high yield market started to benefit in June from lower volatility in the financial markets. Given the very attractive yield, a higher tolerance for risk, and the belief that the Fed may be near the end of its tightening policy, retail investors poured money back into high yield mutual funds. During the quarter, we continued to adhere to our long-running preference for issuers that have recurring revenue from repeat customers. To that end, telecommunications, media/entertainment, and cable continue to be the three largest industry weightings in the Fund.

J. Forelli/J. Leu Your balanced fund returned -0.57% during the second quarter of 2000, exceeding the -0.91% return of the benchmark (60% S&P 500, 40% Lehman Brothers Aggregate). Asset Allocation remained at an approximate 60% Equity/40% Fixed Income mix throughout the quarter. The equity portion of the fund returned -1.88% in the second quarter of 2000, well ahead of the S&P 500 index return of -2.66%. Since the broadening of the equity market began in March, the equity portion has outperformed its benchmark by over 2.5%. Investments in health care, beverages and financials did well while previous winners in telecom, retail and computer software were weak. The domestic fixed income portion of your fund underperformed the Lehman Aggregate Index during the quarter due to its underweight in U.S. Treasury securities and overweight in long maturity corporate bonds relative to the benchmark. Finance and lower-rated corporates bonds underperformed. Your bond fund's international bond exposure was maintained at 17% during the quarter. The exposure to international bonds had a slight negative impact on your fund's performance. It is clear that after six interest rate hikes, U.S. economic growth will moderate. With higher than expected initial jobless claims, weakening retails sales and slowing housing starts, consumer confidence is beginning to erode, albeit from a high level. Although we believe that the Fed will be successful in its attempt to achieve a soft landing, we expect the stock and bond markets to remain volatile as investors struggle to assess the outcome. Stock and bond selection will be especially important during this period of uncertainty. With our stock and bond selection skill, valuation discipline and emphasis on diversification, we are extremely well positioned to add value in this environment.

Management Team The Global Balanced Fund provided a -1.54% return for the second quarter, which outperformed the benchmark return of -3.5%. Peer comparisons are not available at this time. The Fund performed well versus the index, although absolute returns were negative for the quarter. Market turbulence, particularly in equities, continued in the 2nd quarter, as aggregate equity indices generally fell across the board. The Fund was weighted in favor of bonds over equities; therefore the weak equity returns added value relative to the passive index. In addition, industry and stock selection were critical during the quarter. The "old economy" value-oriented securities significantly outperformed the "new era" sectors of telecommunication and technology. This was a major contributor to the Fund, as the stock selection was very positive in most of the global markets. In the U.S. market, for example, the predominance of value oriented equity securities, added significant value over the benchmark, and returned positive results relative to a negative index. Currency management during the quarter was also a positive contributor as the portfolio was well positioned for the devaluation in the Japanese yen and the U.K. pound. Looking forward, our assessment of the aggregate U.S. equity market is that it appears very overvalued, but the distortion is exaggerated due to several industries: technology, media and telecommunications. On the other hand, we find value in the portfolio's overweights in materials, energy and healthcare. From an asset class perspective, we continue to favor bonds over equities, as corporate earnings on a global basis continue to come under tremendous pressure to meet the bold expectations in the face of a slowing economy. In addition, macroeconomic imbalances are also of concern, particularly the current account deficit in America and the budget deficit in Japan.

The Fund is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Fund consists of thirty-three portfolios: Large Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Aggressive Balanced, Active Bond (formerly, Sovereign Bond), Core Bond, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, International Opportunities II (formerly, Global Equity), International Equity, Small Cap Growth, Global Balanced (formerly, International Balanced), Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large/Mid Cap Value, Money Market, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth (formerly, Diversified Mid Cap Growth), Bond Index, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, Small Cap Value, International Opportunities, Equity Index, High Yield Bond and Global Bond (formerly, Strategic Bond) Portfolios. The Fund may add or delete portfolios in the future to accommodate various investment objectives. The Fund has issued shares of beneficial interest exclusively to John Hancock Variable Life Account U ("JHVLAU"), John Hancock Variable Life Account V ("JHVLAV"), John Hancock Variable Life Account S ("JHVLAS"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account I ("JHVAAI") to fund policies and contracts issued by the John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company ("JHVLICO"), and to John Hancock Variable Annuity Account U ("JHVAAU"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account V ("JHVAAV"), John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Account UV ("JHVLAUV"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account H ("JHVAAH"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account JF ("JHVAAJF") to fund contracts and policies issued by John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock") and to Investors Partner Life Account L ("IPLL") to fund contracts and policies issued by Investors Partner Life ("IPL"). NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Valuation of Investments: For the Large Cap Growth, Fundamental Mid Cap Growth, Aggressive Balanced, Emerging Markets Equity, Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Mid Cap Blend, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, American Leaders Large Cap Value, Large/Mid Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Real Estate Equity, Growth & Income, Managed, Small Cap Value, and Equity Index Portfolios: Common stocks and other such securities traded on national exchanges are normally valued on the basis of closing prices. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities with no sales on the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price. For the Active Bond, Core Bond, Bond Index, Managed, Short-Term Bond, High Yield Bond and Global Bond Portfolios: Debt investment securities having a primary market over-the-counter are valued on the basis of valuations furnished by a pricing service which determines valuations for normal institutional size trading units of debt securities, without exclusive reliance upon quoted prices. For the Money Market Portfolio: The Board of Trustees has determined that the appropriate method for valuing Portfolio securities is amortized cost, so long as the average weighted maturity of money market instruments comprising the Portfolio does not exceed 90 days. Accordingly, Portfolio securities are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost on the date of purchase and thereafter assuming a constant amortization to maturity of the difference between the principal amount due at maturity and the cost of the security to the Portfolio. For each of the Portfolios, short-term investments, with a maturity not to exceed 60 days, are valued at amortized cost which approximates market value. For the International Equity Index, International Opportunities II, International Equity, Global Balanced and International Opportunities Portfolios: Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges in the United 177 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I (UNAUDITED) June 30, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued States or on equivalent foreign exchanges are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on such exchanges as of the close of business on the date of which assets are valued. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities traded with no sales on the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price. All Portfolio securities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies have been translated into U.S. Dollars as described in "Currency Translation." Investment securities for which no current market quotations are readily available, including certain foreign securities, when held by the Portfolios, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Investment security transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income for the Large Cap Growth, Aggressive Balanced, Emerging Markets Equity, International Equity Index, International Opportunities II, International Equity, Global Balanced, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Large Cap Value CORE, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Aggressive Growth, Small/Mid Cap CORE, Small/Mid Cap Value, Growth & Income, Managed, Small Cap Value, International Opportunities and Equity Index Portfolios are shown net of foreign taxes withheld of $3,728, $60, $194, $2,011, $392, $107, $168, $37, $2,118, $109, $497, $335, $41, $66, $36, $23,832, $11,766, $793, $690 and $3,047, respectively. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Securities Lending: Certain Portfolios (Large Cap Growth, Active Bond, International Equity Index, Small Cap Growth, Mid Cap Growth, Large Cap Value, Mid Cap Value, Small/Mid Cap Growth, Growth & Income, Managed, Short-Term Bond, International Opportunities and Global Bond) may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these Portfolios negotiated lender fees. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with other extensions of credit, these Funds may bear the risk of delay of the loaned securities in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. At June 30, 2000, the market value of the securities loaned and the market value of the collateral were as follows.

A Portfolio will enter into repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in United States government securities. The underlying securities, which represent the collateral of the agreement, must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase 178 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I (UNAUDITED) June 30, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED agreement is fully collateralized at all times. A Portfolio will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. Joint Repurchase Agreements: The Active Bond and Small Cap Growth Portfolios of the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having a management contract with John Hancock Advisers, Inc. (the "Sub-Adviser"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of John Hancock, may participate in a joint repurchase agreement pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Aggregate cash balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, whose underlying securities are obligations of the U.S. Government and/or its agencies. The Fund's custodian bank receives delivery of the underlying securities for the joint repurchase agreement on the Fund's behalf. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for ensuring that the agreement is fully collateralized at all times. The International Equity, Large Cap Value CORE and Small/Mid Cap CORE Portfolios of the Fund, along with other registered investment companies having a management contract with Goldman Sachs Asset Management (the "Sub-Adviser"), may participate in a joint repurchase agreement pursuant to an exemptive order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Aggregate cash balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, whose underlying securities are obligations of the U.S. Government and/or its agencies. The Fund's custodian bank receives delivery of the underlying securities for the joint repurchase agreement on the Fund's behalf. The Sub-Adviser is responsible for ensuring that the agreement is fully collateralized at all times. Joint Trading Account: Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the order permits the existing Portfolios of the Fund to pool daily uninvested cash balances, together with the balances of any future Portfolios of the Fund, into a joint account for the purpose of investing the cash balances in short-term repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term investments which in no event will have a maturity in excess of seven days.

At the time the Portfolio enters into a financial futures contract, it will be required to deposit with its custodian a specified amount of cash or U.S. government securities, known as "initial margin." Each day, the futures contract is valued at the official settlement price of the board of trade or U.S. commodities exchange. Daily variation margin adjustments, arising from this "mark to market," are recorded by the Portfolios as unrealized gains or losses. When the contracts are closed, the Portfolio recognizes a gain or a loss. Risk of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and/or that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. In addition, the Portfolio could be prevented from opening or realizing the benefits of closing out futures positions because of position limits or limits on daily price fluctuations imposed by an exchange. At June 30, 2000, open positions in financial futures contracts were as follows: INTERNATIONAL EQUITY INDEX PORTFOLIO Face Expiration Amount Unrealized Purchased Date at Value Gain/(Loss) - --------- ---------- ---------- ----------- 12 contracts CAC-40 Index Future ................

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts: The Fund may use forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign securities and to manage a Portfolio's currency exposure. Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the Portfolio's investments against currency fluctuations. Neither type of foreign currency transaction will eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the Portfolio's securities or prevent loss if the price of such securities should decline. The U.S. dollar value of a forward foreign currency contract is determined using forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Realized gain (loss) on the purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts is recognized on settlement date. Currency Translation: For Portfolios that trade in international securities: all assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on London currency exchange quotations 181 NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- Continued JOHN HANCOCK VARIABLE SERIES TRUST I (UNAUDITED) June 30, 2000 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (000's Omitted) NOTE B -- ACCOUNTING POLICIES -- Continued as of 5:00 p.m., London time, on the date of any determination of the net asset value of the Fund. Unrealized exchange adjustments are included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Transactions affecting statement of operations accounts and net realized gain (loss) on investments are translated at the rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Dividends: A dividend of its net investment income will be declared and distributed daily by the Money Market Portfolio. Dividends of net investment income will be declared and distributed monthly by all other Portfolios. Each Portfolio will distribute all of its net realized capital gains annually, at the end of its fiscal year. Federal Income Taxes: Each of the Portfolios of the Fund intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of December 31, 1999, the Fund had approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforwards, which may be applied against any net taxable gains, as follows: Active Bond had $21,049, which expires in 2007; International Opportunities II had $281, which expires in 2006; Money Market had $14, which expires in 2007; Mid Cap Value had $8,121, which expires in 2006 and $1,558, which expires in 2007; Bond Index had $158, which expires in 2007; Small/Mid Cap CORE had $25, which expires in 2006; Real Estate Equity had $4,280, which expires in 2007; Short-Term Bond had $131, which expires in 2006 and $1,304, which expires in 2007; Small Cap Value had $1,445, which expires in 2006; High Yield Bond had $276, which expires in 2007; and Global Bond had $1,234, which expires in 2007. NOTE C--INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES Expenses: Expenses directly attributable to a Portfolio are charged to that Portfolio. Expenses not directly attributed to a Portfolio are allocated on the basis of relative net assets.

The first table shows the effect the combination would have had on the applicable statement of assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2000. Following this table is a related Schedule of Investments that provides further detail as to the effect of the combination on individual investments held by the Funds. The next table shows the effect that the combination would have had on the applicable statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2000 if the combination of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund had taken place at the beginning of that period. The last table shows the effect that the combination would have had on the applicable statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 if the combination of the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund had taken place at the beginning of that period. Each of the following tables first gives the actual historical information for the Acquired Fund and the Acquiring Fund separately. Each table then shows the estimated adjustments (if any) to that information that would have been necessary to more accurately reflect what the financial results would have been if the Funds had been combined during the whole period shown. Finally, each table gives aggregate numbers that show the Funds' combined information, after making any such adjustments.

Notes to Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements (unaudited) (000's omitted) NOTE A--ORGANIZATION AND BASIS FOR COMBINATION The John Hancock Variable Series Trust I (the "Trust") is a diversified open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The Trust is organized as a Massachusetts business trust. The Trust consists of thirty-three portfolios (the "portfolios"). The Trust has issued shares of beneficial interest exclusively to John Hancock Variable Life Account U ("JHVLAU"), John Hancock Variable Life Account V ("JHVLAV"), John Hancock Variable Life Account S ("JHVLAS"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account I ("JHVAAI") to fund policies and contracts issued by the John Hancock Variable Life Insurance Company ("JHVLICO"), and to John Hancock Variable Annuity Account U ("JHVAAU"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account V ("JHVAAV"), John Hancock Mutual Variable Life Insurance Account UV ("JHMVLAUV"), John Hancock Variable Annuity Account H ("JHVAAH"), and John Hancock Variable Annuity Account JF ("JHVAAJF") to fund contracts and policies issued by John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Company ("John Hancock") and to Investors Partner Life Account L ("IPLL") to fund contracts and policies issued by Investors Partner Life ("IPL"). The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of substantially all of the assets and stated liabilities of the International Opportunities II Portfolio, one of the portfolios of the Trust, in exchange for Trust shares of International Opportunities Portfolio, one of the portfolios of the Trust. The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Schedule of Investments and the unaudited Pro Forma Statement of Assets and Liabilities assumes the exchange of shares occurred as of June 30, 2000 and the unaudited Pro Forma Combining Statement of Operations assumes the exchange occurred as of January 1, 2000. These statements have been derived from books and records utilized in calculating the net asset value of each portfolio at June 30, 2000 and for the six-month period then ended. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of International Opportunities II Portfolio for pre-combination periods will not be restated. The Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements are presented for the information of the reader and may not necessarily be representative of what the actual combined financial statements would have been had the reorganization occurred at June 30, 2000. The unaudited Pro Forma Combining Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of the Trust incorporated by reference in the Statement of Additional Information. The Portfolios follow generally accepted accounting principles applicable to management investment companies which are disclosed in the historical financial statements of the Trust. The unaudited statement of assets and liabilities at June 30, 2000 and the unaudited statement of operations for the six months then ended reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair presentation. All of such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. The pro forma statements give effect to the proposed transfer of substantially all of the assets and stated liabilities of the International Opportunities II Portfolio in exchange for shares of International Opportunities. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the historical cost of investment securities will be carried forward to the surviving entity and the results of operations of International Opportunities II for pre-combination periods will not be restated. To the extent the acquired portfolio has capital losses, they will be carried forward to the acquiring portfolio. The acquiring portfolio will be able to use these losses to offset future capital gains it realizes, subject to limitations, and, thereby, minimize taxable gains to its shareholders. NOTE B--ACCOUNTING POLICIES Estimates: The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Valuation of Investments: Investments in securities traded on national securities exchanges in the United States or on equivalent foreign exchanges are normally valued at the last quoted sales price on such exchanges as of the close of business on the date of which assets are valued. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market and securities traded with no sales on the day of valuation are normally valued at their last available bid price. All Portfolio securities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies have been translated into U.S. Dollars as described in "Currency Translation." Investment securities for which no current market quotations are readily available, including certain foreign securities, when held by the portfolios, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Investment security transactions are recorded on the date of purchase or sale. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date and interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividend income for International Opportunities II and International Opportunities Portfolios are shown net of foreign taxes withheld of $392 and $690, respectively. Realized gains and losses from security transactions are determined on the basis of identified cost. Securities Lending: Certain portfolios (including International Opportunities) may lend their securities to certain qualified brokers who pay these portfolios negotiated lender fees. These fees are included in interest income. The loans are collateralized at all times with cash or securities with a market value at least equal to the market value of the securities on loan. As with other extensions of credit, these portfolios may bear the risk of delay of the loaned securities in recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. At June 30, 2000, the market value of the securities loaned and the market value of the collateral for the International Opportunities Portfolio were as follows. Value of Securities Loaned Value of Collateral International Opportunities 11,816 12,124 Repurchase Agreements: The portfolios of the Trust may enter into repurchase agreements which are contracts under which a portfolio would acquire a security for a relatively short period (usually not more than 7 days) subject to the obligation of the seller to repurchase and the portfolio to resell such security at a fixed time and price (representing the Portfolio's cost plus interest). A portfolio will enter into repurchase agreements only with member banks of the Federal Reserve System and with "primary dealers" in United States government securities. The underlying securities, which represent the collateral of the agreement, must be marked to market daily to ensure that each repurchase agreement is fully collateralized at all times. A portfolio will not invest more than 10% of its net assets in repurchase agreements maturing in more than 7 days. Joint Trading Account: Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission, the order permits the existing portfolios of the Trust to pool daily uninvested cash balances, together with the balances of any future portfolios of the Trust, into a joint account for the purpose of investing the cash balances in short-term repurchase agreements, commercial paper and other short-term investments which in no event will have a maturity in excess of seven days.

Contracts to buy generally are used to acquire exposure to foreign currencies, while contracts to sell are used to hedge the portfolio's investments against currency fluctuations. Neither type of foreign currency transaction will eliminate fluctuations in the prices of the portfolio's securities or prevent loss if the price of such securities should decline. The U.S. dollar value of a forward foreign currency contract is determined using forward exchange rates supplied by a quotation service. Realized gain (loss) on the purchases and sales of forward foreign currency contracts is recognized on settlement date. Currency Translation: For portfolios that trade in international securities: all assets or liabilities initially expressed in terms of foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars based on London currency exchange quotations as of 5:00 p.m., London time, on the date of any determination of the net asset value of the portfolio. Unrealized exchange adjustments are included in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments. Transactions affecting statement of operations accounts and net realized gain (loss) on investments are translated at the rates prevailing at the dates of transactions. Reported net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from sales and maturities of forward foreign currency contracts, disposition of foreign currencies, currency gains and losses realized between trade and settlement dates of security transactions, and the difference between the amounts of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. Dividends: Dividends of net investment income will be declared and distributed monthly for the International Opportunities Portfolio and the International Opportunities II Portfolio. Each portfolio will distribute all of its net realized capital gains annually, at the end of its fiscal year. Federal Income Taxes: Each of the Portfolios of the Trust intends to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required. As of December 31, 1999, the International Opportunities II Portfolio had approximate net tax basis capital loss carryforwards, which may be applied against any net taxable gains, of $281, which expires in 2006. NOTE C--INVESTMENT ADVISORY FEE The historical investment advisory fee for International Opportunities has not been restated to reflect a .10% per annum increase effective November 1, 2000. The pro-forma combined investment advisory fee does, in effect, reflect a restatement to the higher fee rate. The pro-forma adjustment in investment advisory fees results from the fact that the effect of such restatement is more than offset by fee reductions due to the combined Fund's larger size. These fee reductions are provided for in the applicable investment advisory agreements as a Fund reaches specified levels ("break-points") of assets.
