Includes mutual fund rankings/ratings only. Out of 67 funds rated by Morningstar, 8 funds received a 5-star overall rating and 22 funds received a 4-star overall rating. Ratings are counted at the highest-rated share class. For each fund with at least a 3-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return that accounts for variation in a fund’s monthly performance (including effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10.0% of funds in each category, the next 22.5%, 35.0%, 22.5%, and bottom 10.0% receive 5, 4, 3, 2, or 1 star(s), respectively. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and is rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) The overall Morningstar rating for a fund is derived from a weighted average of the performance associated with its 3-, 5-, and 10-year (if applicable) Morningstar rating metrics. 2 Morningstar, as of 6/30/16.

John Hancock Investments | Market Intelligence 13 Beyond consensus: a closer look at opposing views in our network Incorporating contrarian views into the analysis of each asset class is an important part of our research process. This balance of insight can lead to more objective and fully formed conclusions by helping avoid confirmation bias and other behavioral pitfalls. Below are the most debated views during the previous quarter. Oil: low for longer Consensus views Nonconsensus views A trading range of $30 to $60 is likely over the next 6 to 12 months The price of oil may rebound faster than anticipated as a result of as global supply and demand reach an equilibrium. Without Iran, the United States, or other producers willing to agree to terms, OPEC may not be able to implement a production freeze. global capital expenditure cuts by oil companies. A continued weakening of China’s economy will lead to softer demand for oil, pushing prices below the consensus forecast. The rig count in the United States has likely bottomed, which should lead to a leveling off of falling production. U.S. dollar: staying strong The dollar will remain elevated given the relative strong U.S. economy and the dollar’s status as a safe haven. While Brexit has likely pushed out the timeline for further rate increases, U.S. monetary policy is still less accommodative than that of the ECB, BoE, or BoJ. In the short term, interest-rate differentials between the United In previous Fed tightening cycles, the U.S. dollar rallied before the Fed tightened, but then weakened amidst the Fed’s tightening cycle. The Fed won’t raise rates in 2016 due to foreign geopolitical risks, alleviating upward pressure on the dollar. An acceleration of inflationary pressures in the second half of 2016 could weaken the dollar relative to other currencies. States and Europe may help drive dollar strength. Monetary policy: still steering Quantitative easing (QE) will continue in Europe and Japan, the BoE will likely restart their QE program based on Brexit, and the Fed will be on hold for much of 2016. Global bond yields will remain low as central banks continue to bid up bond prices to bolster economic activity. Currency wars will likely continue; recent declines in the euro and The Fed will shrug off the Brexit event risk and will increase rates in September or December 2016. Helicopter money will be employed in Japan and the United Kingdom as a final form of monetary policy intervention.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Asset manager views are compiled throughout the preceding calendar quarter through in-person discussions, reviewed research, and on-site visits. These inputs are complemented by third-party research collected during the calendar quarter. Our views reflect John Hancock Investments’ proprietary weighting of these inputs. A bearish reading indicates the potential for an asset to underperform its class or subclass on a risk-adjusted basis. A bullish reading indicates the potential for an asset to outperform its class or subclass on a risk-adjusted basis. A neutral reading indicates the potential for performance in line with the asset’s historical averages. Stocks and bonds can decline due to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, or economic developments; foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability; value stocks may decline in price; growth stocks may be more susceptible to earnings disappointments; the securities of small companies are subject to higher volatility than those of larger, more established companies; and high-yield bonds are subject to additional risks, such as increased risk of default. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if an issuer is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Liquidity—the extent to which a security may be sold or a derivative position closed without negatively affecting its market value, if at all—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates.
