The advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make payment to the fund to the extent
necessary to maintain the fund's total operating expenses at 0.97% for Class R6 shares, excluding certain expenses such as taxes,
brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred
in the ordinary course of the fund's business, acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly and short dividend expense. The
current expense limitation agreement expires on June 30, 2014, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the advisor based
upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

Expense example
This example is intended to help
you compare the cost of investing in the fund with the cost of investing in other mutual funds. Please see below a hypothetical
example showing the expenses of a $10,000 investment for the time periods indicated assuming that you redeem all of your shares
at the end of those periods. The example assumes a 5% average annual return. The example assumes fund expenses will not change
over the periods. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio turnover
The fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions,
when it buys and sells securities (or “turns over” its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher
transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected
in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the fund’s performance. During its most recent fiscal year, the
fund’s portfolio turnover rate was 21% of the average value of its portfolio.
Principal investment strategies
The fund will seek to achieve its objectives by investing
in a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of global equity securities that have a history of attractive dividend yields and
positive growth in free cash flow. Under normal circumstances, the fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in equity securities
of dividend-paying companies located throughout the world. At least 40% of the fund’s net assets will be invested in securities
of issuers located throughout the world, excluding the U.S. The fund may also invest up to 20% of its assets in securities issued
by companies located in emerging markets when the subadvisor believes they represent attractive investment opportunities. Securities
held by the fund may be denominated in both U.S. dollars and foreign currencies.
The fund will invest in global equity investments across
all market capitalizations. The fund will generally invest in companies with a market capitalization (i.e., total market value
of a company’s shares) of $250 million or greater at the time of purchase. Although the fund may invest in securities across
all market capitalizations, it may at any given time invest a significant portion of its assets in companies of one particular
market capitalization category when the subadvisor believes such companies offer attractive opportunities. The subadvisor desires
to produce superior risk-adjusted returns by building portfolios of businesses with outstanding risk/reward profiles and a focus
on high “shareholder yield.” Shareholder yield refers to the collective financial impact on shareholders from the return
of free cash flow through cash dividends, stock repurchases and debt reduction. By assembling a diversified portfolio of securities
that, in the aggregate, possesses a high cash dividend, positive growth of free cash flow, share buyback programs and net debt
reductions, the fund seeks to provide an attractive prospective return with inherently less volatility than the global equity market
as a whole.
The subadvisor seeks to produce a portfolio with a dividend
yield exceeding that of the MSCI World Index. In selecting portfolio securities, the subadvisor seeks securities of companies with
solid long-term prospects, attractive valuations and adequate liquidity. The subadvisor sells or reduces a position in a security
when it believes the security will not meet expectations within a reasonable time, or when it believes those expectations have
been fully realized.
The fund may invest up to 20% of its net assets in debt
securities, including junk bonds, and in high yielding fixed-income securities rated below investment grade.
The fund may also invest up to 15% of its net assets
in illiquid investments. The fund may also make limited use of certain derivative instruments, including futures and options (investments
whose value is based on securities, indexes or currencies) for the purposes of generally reducing risk and/or obtaining efficient
market exposure. The fund may invest in other types of equity securities and foreign stocks.
Principal risks
An investment in the fund is not a bank deposit and is
not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other government agency. The fund’s shares
will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual fund’s
performance.
Instability in the financial markets has led many governments,
including the United States government, to take a number of unprecedented actions designed to support certain financial institutions
and segments of the financial markets that have experienced extreme volatility and, in some cases, a lack of liquidity. Federal,
state and other governments, and their regulatory agencies or self-regulatory organizations, may take actions that affect the regulation
of the instruments in which the fund invests, or the issuers of such instruments, in ways that are unforeseeable. Legislation or
regulation may also change the way in which the fund itself is regulated. Such legislation or regulation could limit or preclude
the fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective.
Governments or their agencies may also acquire distressed
assets from financial institutions and acquire ownership interests in those institutions. The implications of government ownership
and disposition of these assets are unclear, and such a program may have positive or negative effects on the liquidity, valuation
and performance of the fund’s portfolio holdings. Furthermore, volatile financial markets can expose the fund to greater
market and liquidity risk and potential difficulty in valuing portfolio instruments held by the fund.
The
fund’s main risk factors are listed below in alphabetical order.
Before investing, be sure to read the additional
descriptions of these risks
beginning on page 6 of the prospectus.
Active management risk
The
subadvisor’s investment strategy may fail to produce the intended result.
Changing distribution levels risk
The
distribution amounts paid by the fund generally depend on the amount of income and/or dividends paid by
the
fund’s investments.
Credit and counterparty risk
The
issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security, the counterparty to an over-the-counter derivatives contract or a
borrower
of a fund’s securities may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or settlement payments, or otherwise
honor its obligations. Funds that invest in fixed-income securities are subject to varying degrees of risk that the issuers of
the securities will have their credit rating downgraded or will default, potentially reducing a fund’s share price and income
level.
Currency risk
Fluctuations
in exchange rates may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund’s investments. Currency risk includes the risk that
currencies in which a fund’s investments are traded, or currencies
in which a fund has taken an active position, will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar.
Emerging market risk
The
risks of investing in foreign securities are greater for investments in emerging markets. Emerging market countries may
experience higher inflation, interest rates and unemployment as well
as greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties than more developed countries.
Equity securities risk
The
value of a company’s equity securities is subject to changes in the company’s financial condition, and overall market
and
economic conditions.
Fixed-income securities risk
Fixed-income
securities are affected by changes in interest rates and credit quality. A rise in interest rates typically causes
bond
prices to fall. The longer the average maturity of the bonds held by the fund, the more sensitive the fund is likely to be to interest-rate
changes. There is the possibility that the issuer of the security will not repay all or a portion of the principal borrowed and
will not make all interest payments.
Foreign securities risk
As
compared to U.S. companies, there may be less publicly available information relating to foreign companies. Foreign
securities
may be subject to foreign taxes. The value of foreign securities is subject to currency fluctuations and adverse political and
economic developments. Investments in emerging-market countries are subject to greater levels of foreign investment risk.
Hedging, derivatives and other strategic transactions
risk
Hedging and other strategic transactions may increase the volatility
of a fund and, if the
transaction is not successful, could
result in a significant loss to a fund. The use of derivative instruments could produce disproportionate gains or losses, more
than the principal amount invested. Investing in derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than,
the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments and, in a down market, could become
harder to value or sell at a fair price. The following is a list of certain derivatives and other strategic transactions in which
the fund may invest and the main risks associated with each of them:
Futures contracts
Counterparty
risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the
principal risks of engaging in transactions involving futures contracts.
Options
Counterparty
risk, liquidity risk (i.e., the inability to enter into closing transactions) and risk of disproportionate loss are the principal
risks of engaging in transactions involving options. Counterparty risk
does not apply to exchange-traded options.
High portfolio turnover risk
Actively
trading securities can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and taxable distributions.
Issuer risk
An
issuer of a security may perform poorly and, therefore, the value of its stocks and bonds may decline. An issuer of securities
held by
the fund could default or have its credit rating
downgraded.
Large company risk
Large-capitalization
stocks as a group could fall out of favor with the market, causing the fund to underperform investments
that
focus on small- or medium-capitalization stocks. Larger, more established companies may be slow to respond to challenges and may
grow more slowly than smaller companies. For purposes of the fund’s investment policies, the market capitalization of a company
is based on its market capitalization at the time the fund purchases the company’s securities. Market capitalizations of
companies change over time.
Liquidity risk
Exposure
exists when trading volume, lack of a market maker or legal restrictions impair the ability to sell particular securities or close
derivative positions at an advantageous price.
Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield
securities risk
Lower-rated fixed-income securities and high-yield
fixed-income
securities (commonly known as “junk bonds”)
are subject to greater credit quality risk and risk of default than higher-rated fixed-income securities. These securities may
be considered speculative and the value of these securities can be more volatile due to increased sensitivity to adverse issuer,
political, regulatory, market or economic developments and can be difficult to resell.
Medium and smaller company risk
The prices of medium and smaller company stocks can change more frequently
and dramatically than those of
large company stocks. For
purposes of the fund’s investment policies, the market capitalization of a company is based on its market capitalization
at the time the fund purchases the company’s securities. Market capitalizations of companies change over time.
Past performance
The following performance information in the bar chart
and table below illustrates the variability of the fund’s returns and provides some indication of the risks of investing
in the fund by showing changes in the fund’s performance from year to year. However, past performance (before and after taxes)
does not indicate future results. All figures assume dividend reinvestment. Performance for the fund is updated daily, monthly
and quarterly and may be obtained at our Web site: www.jhfunds.com/InstitutionalPerformance, or by calling 1-888-972-8696 between
8:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on most business days.
Average annual total returns
Performance
of a broad-based market index is included for comparison.
After-tax returns
These
reflect the highest individual federal marginal income tax rates in effect as of the date provided and do not reflect any state
or local taxes. Your actual after-tax returns may be different. After-tax
returns are not relevant to shares held in an IRA, 401(k) or other tax-advantaged investment plan.

Class R6 shares of the fund commenced operations on September
1, 2011. The returns prior to that date are those of Class A shares that have been recalculated to apply the gross fees and expenses
of Class R6 shares. Returns for Class R6 shares would have been substantially similar to returns of Class A shares because both
share classes are invested in the same portfolio of securities and returns would differ only to the extent that expenses of the
classes are different.
