A message to shareholders

Dear shareholder,

Global financial markets extended their run of positive performance in recent months, with particular strength coming from outside the United States. Overseas markets generally have been attracting investors with their lower valuations and improving corporate fundamentals, while monetary policy remains extremely accommodative. U.S. stocks also generated positive returns so far this year and have benefited from stronger-than-expected corporate earnings. Fixed-income results were more muted, although standout returns came from convertible securities and emerging-market bonds. Interest-rate sensitive bonds in the United States remain most vulnerable, as the U.S. Federal Reserve withdraws economic stimulus and follows through with interest rate increases as is expected.

Advancing the interests of fund shareholders

One of our primary goals is to advance the interests of our fund shareholders wherever possible. To that end, we recently announced our third round of expense reductions this year, targeting six mutual funds and two closed-end funds that together represent more than $6.9 billion in assets under management. Details can be found at jhinvestments.com.

Recently, we learned that fund researcher Morningstar, Inc. formally recognized our shareholder friendly initiatives by upgrading our parent pillar rating—a key component of the Morningstar Analyst Rating system—to positive, the highest possible rating. The firm evaluates select funds and their parent firms based on intensive research, including on-site due diligence. They focused on such factors as whether our portfolio managers invest meaningfully in the funds they manage, the quality of our risk management, our corporate culture, and our commitment to recognizing shareholder interests—in other words, how good we are as stewards of investor capital. We're pleased to be recognized by Morningstar in this way and to continue our work of furthering the interests of our fund shareholders. 

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

Sincerely,

andrewarnott_sig.jpg

Discussion of portfolio performance

An interview with Portfolio Manager Robert M. Boyda, John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC

Robert M. Boyda
Portfolio Manager
John Hancock Asset Management

"All five of the Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios delivered positive absolute returns and outperformed their Morningstar peer group averages."

How did the global financial markets perform during the six months ended June 30, 2017?

The markets delivered strong gains across the major asset categories in the first half of the year, as signs of improving economic growth outside of the United States raised hopes for a broad-based recovery in the world economy. At the same time, it became clear that the expectations for rapidly accelerating domestic growth that followed the November 2016 elections had been far too optimistic. As a result, market participants grew increasingly confident that the U.S. Federal Reserve could maintain its gradual approach to raising interest rates rather than adopting a more aggressive posture.

These circumstances provided a boost to all segments of the global equity markets and led to three key departures from the trends that were in place in 2016.

First, the growth style outperformed value by a wide margin: the Russell 1000 Growth Index returned 13.99% in the first half of the year and finished well ahead of the 4.66% gain for the Russell 1000 Value Index (and the market as a whole, based on the 9.27% return of the Russell 1000 Index). The primary cause of this disparity was the substantial gains for a narrow group of fast-growing, mega-cap technology stocks, together with underperformance for value-oriented sectors such as energy, real estate, and telecommunication services. Second, the rally in tech giants contributed to sizable outperformance for the large-cap category relative to small caps, which rose 4.99% as measured by the Russell 2000 Index.

The third major change was the emergence of relative strength in non-U.S. equities. The developed-market MSCI EAFE Index and MSCI Emerging Markets Index returned 14.23% and 18.60%, respectively, outpacing the domestic indexes. Foreign stocks were boosted by the improvement in growth outside of the United States, as well as the increasing value of foreign currencies relative to the U.S. dollar.

The investment backdrop proved favorable for bonds, as well. The slow but steady expansion of the U.S. economy, together with mounting evidence that hoped-for fiscal stimulus will not be forthcoming in 2017, boosted U.S. Treasuries and other interest-rate sensitive market segments. Investment-grade corporate and high-yield bonds also performed very well thanks to the continued improvement in corporations' earnings and balance sheets, together with investors' robust demand for higher-risk, higher-yielding investments.

We believe the meaningful shift in performance trends in the first half of the year illustrates the benefit of holding diverse exposure across the full range of styles, capitalizations, and geographies rather than attempting to time the market.

How did the portfolios perform?

All five of the Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios delivered positive absolute returns and outperformed their Morningstar peer group averages, while four of the five exceeded the return of their benchmarks. The portfolios' globally diversified approach to investing was a key reason for their robust showing in the first half of the year. We saw a potential opportunity overseas, given that the long period

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       5


of outperformance for U.S. equities had caused valuations to become more attractive outside of the United States. In addition, we have held the view that select non-U.S. markets, particularly in Europe, were several years behind the United States in terms of their growth recovery. We anticipated that non-U.S. assets would begin to play catch-up as the recovery gained momentum, a thesis we witnessed playing out in the first half of 2017. Whether this evolves into a sustained period of outperformance for non-U.S. stocks will only be known with the benefit of hindsight, but we believe a focus on valuation and fundamentals, combined with strategic allocations with a globally diversified portfolio, can provide better risk-adjusted returns over the long term.

How were the portfolios positioned as of the end of the period?

Within the context of our long-term strategy, we continue to favor stocks over bonds based on our belief that they offer a superior risk/return profile. Bond yields remain low both on an absolute basis and relative to their own history, yet the commentary from the major global central banks indicates that they are moving toward tighter monetary policies. We therefore have kept a below-average weighting in bonds, with a preference for credit-sensitive investments over those more dependent on the direction of interest rates.

With regard to equities, we see an increased likelihood of near-term volatility given the extent of the recent rally; however, we don't anticipate a more meaningful sell-off since bear markets rarely occur absent a recession. Seeing a low probability of growth turning negative, we think that equities remain a more compelling option than bonds. We continue to hold sizable allocations to U.S. assets, but with an increasing bias toward international stocks due to their improving fundamentals and attractive valuations. We maintained a steady overall approach within the equity allocation, although we did decide to reduce exposure to technology stocks in the dedicated sector portfolio. With the tech sector having performed so well in recent months, we believed it was prudent to take some profits.

Overall, we maintained an emphasis on value, fundamentals, and diversification as the cornerstones of our strategy.

Why did the name of the portfolios change?

Effective February 1, 2017, John Hancock Lifestyle Portfolios were renamed John Hancock Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios. The move was made to better reflect the focus on our multimanager approach.

MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE AGGRESSIVE PORTFOLIO

The portfolio's Class A shares returned 11.55%, excluding sales charges, and its custom blended benchmark rose 10.58%. The funds in Morningstar's allocation 85%+ equity category averaged a gain of 9.36%. The bulk of the portfolio's outperformance stemmed from the strong showing of its underlying managers. Asset allocation was also a modest contributor during the period.

At the manager level, a number of our individual positions added value. Mid Cap Stock Fund (Wellington), Technical Opportunities Fund (Wellington), and Blue Chip Growth Fund (T. Rowe Price) were significant contributors in domestic equities. International Growth Fund (Wellington), International Small Cap Fund (Franklin Templeton) and International Growth Opportunities Fund (Baillie Gifford) helped performance in the international space. However, International Value Fund (Templeton) and Mid Value Fund (T. Rowe Price) were among a handful of detractors. International Growth Opportunities Fund was liquidated and no longer held as of the end of the period.

In terms of asset allocation, an overweight position in international small-cap stocks—which benefited from improving overseas growth and elevated investor risk appetites—was additive. An underweight in domestic mid caps was a further plus. Conversely, an allocation to natural resource stocks, which lagged the broader market due to the downturn in oil prices, detracted from performance within the dedicated sector portfolio. The portfolio's alternative allocation also detracted at a time of strong returns for equities, but we believe it remains an essential element of longer-term diversification.

The portfolio's Class A shares returned 9.75%, excluding sales charges, and its custom blended benchmark rose 8.99%.

MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE BALANCED PORTFOLIO

The portfolio's Class A shares returned 7.88%, excluding sales charges, and its custom blended benchmark rose 7.42%. The funds in Morningstar's allocation 50%-70% equity category averaged a gain of 6.30%. The bulk of the portfolio's outperformance stemmed from the strong showing of its underlying managers. Asset allocation was a modest detractor.

At the manager level, a number of our individual positions added value. Mid Cap Stock Fund (Wellington), Technical Opportunities Fund (Wellington), and Blue Chip Growth Fund (T.

MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE MODERATE PORTFOLIO

The portfolio's Class A shares returned 5.89%, excluding sales charges, and its custom blended benchmark rose 5.86%. The funds in Morningstar's allocation 30%-50% equity category averaged a gain of 4.90%. The bulk of the portfolio's outperformance stemmed from the strong showing of its underlying managers.

At the manager level, a number of our individual positions added value. Mid Cap Stock Fund (Wellington), and Blue Chip Growth Fund (T. Rowe Price) were contributors in domestic equities.

International Value Fund (Templeton) and Mid Value Fund (T. Rowe Price) were among the detractors. Active Bond Fund (JHAM) and Total Return Fund (PIMCO) contributed positively in the fixed-income portfolio, but Floating Rate Income Fund (WAMCO) and Short

Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (Stone Harbor) detracted. International Growth Opportunities Fund was liquidated and no longer held as of the end of the period.

In terms of asset allocation, an overweight position in international small-cap stocks—which benefited from improving overseas growth and elevated investor risk appetites— was additive. An underweight in domestic mid caps was a further plus. Conversely, an allocation to natural resource stocks, which lagged the broader market due to the downturn in oil prices, detracted from performance within the dedicated sector portfolio. On the fixed-income side, we benefited from having a tilt toward credit-oriented investments over those with more sensitivity to interest-rate movements. An allocation to emerging-market bonds, which outpaced the U.S. market, also contributed positively; however, we lost some relative performance by being overweight in loans and underweight in high yield, as well as having an allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.

MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE CONSERVATIVE PORTFOLIO

The portfolio's Class A shares returned 4.26%, excluding sales charges, and its custom blended benchmark rose 4.32%. The funds in Morningstar's allocation 15%-30% equity category averaged a gain of 3.51%. The portfolio benefited from the strong relative performance of its underlying managers, while asset allocation detracted.

At the manager level, a significant number of our individual positions added value. Bond Fund (JHAM), Emerging Market Debt Fund (JHAM) and Total Return Fund (PIMCO) were key contributors in fixed income, though Floating Rate Income Fund (WAMCO) and Short Duration Credit Opportunities Fund (Stone Harbor) detracted. On the equity side, notable contributors included Enduring Assets Fund (Wellington), Mid Cap Stock Fund (Wellington), and Fundamental Global Franchise Fund (JHAM).

In terms of asset allocation, we benefited from having a tilt toward credit-oriented investments over those with more sensitivity to interest-rate movements. An allocation to emerging-market bonds, which outpaced the U.S. market, also contributed positively; however, we lost some relative performance by being overweight in loans and underweight in high yield, as well as having an allocation to Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities. In equities, a small allocation to natural resources stocks—which lagged the broader market due to the downturn in oil prices—detracted from performance within the dedicated sector portfolio.

The portfolios' performance depends on the subadvisors' ability to determine the strategic asset class allocations, the mix of underlying funds, and the performance of those underlying funds. The underlying funds' performance may be lower than the performance of the asset class that they were selected to represent. The portfolios are subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which they invest, which include the following: Stocks, bonds, and derivatives 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; the securities of small-capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies; and high-yield bonds are subject to additional risks, such as increased risk of default and interest-rate risk. Events in U.S. and global financial markets may at times result in unusually high market volatility. In addition, reduced liquidity in credit and fixed-income markets may adversely affect issuers worldwide. Liquidity—the extent to which a security may be sold or a derivative position closed without negatively affecting its market value—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Derivatives transactions, including hedging and other strategic transactions, may increase volatility and result in losses if not successful. For additional information on these and other risk considerations, please see the portfolios' prospectus.

The views expressed in this report are exclusively those of Robert M. Boyda, John Hancock Asset Management, and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice. Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may not have been held by the portfolio for the entire period. Portfolio composition is subject to review in accordance with the portfolio's investment strategy and may vary in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk.

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested. Returns with maximum sales charge reflect a sales charge on Class A shares of 5%, and the applicable contingent deferred sales charge (CDSC) on Class B and Class C shares. The Class B shares' CDSC declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5%, 4%, 3%, 3%, 2%, 1%. No sales charges will be assessed after the sixth year. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, and Class 1 shares.

Performance of the classes will vary based on the difference in sales charges paid by shareholders investing in the different classes and the fee structure of those classes.

The expense ratios of the portfolio, both net (including any fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers and/or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectuses for the portfolio and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights tables in this report. Had the contractual fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The following expense ratios include expenses of the affiliated underlying funds in which the portfolio invests. The expense ratios are as follows:

                       
  Class A Class B Class C Class I Class R1 Class R2 Class R3 Class R4 Class R5 Class R6 Class 1

Performance figures assume all distributions have been reinvested.

The Class B shares' CDSC declines annually between years 1-6 according to the following schedule: 5%, 4%, 3%, 3%, 2%, 1%. No sales charges will be assessed after the sixth year. Class C shares held for less than one year are subject to a 1% CDSC. Sales charges are not applicable to Class I, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4, Class R5, Class R6, Class 1, and Class 5 shares.

Performance of the classes will vary based on the difference in sales charges paid by shareholders investing in the different classes and the fee structure of those classes.

Your expenses

As a shareholder of a John Hancock Funds II Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on certain purchases or redemptions, and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution and service (Rule 12b-1) fees, and other portfolio expenses. In addition to the operating expenses which each portfolio bears directly, the portfolio indirectly bears a pro rata share of the operating expenses of the underlying funds in which each portfolio invests. Because underlying funds have varied operating expenses and transaction costs and the portfolio may own different proportions of the underlying funds at different times, the amount of expenses incurred indirectly by the portfolio will vary. Had these indirect expenses been reflected in the following analysis, total expenses would have been higher than the amounts shown.

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a portfolio so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The examples are based on an investment of $1,000 at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period (January 1, 2017 through June 30, 2017).

Actual expenses:

The first line of each share class in the tables below and on the following pages provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled "Expenses paid during period" to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes:

The second line of each share class in the tables on the following pages provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the actual expense ratio for the share class and an assumed annualized rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the actual return of the share class. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in a portfolio and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore, the second line of each share class in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher. See the portfolios' prospectuses for details regarding transaction costs.

Note 1 — Organization

John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) is an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). It is a series company with multiple investment series (the funds), five of which (collectively, Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios, or the portfolios, and individually the portfolio) are presented in this report. The Multimanager Lifestyle Portfolios operate as "funds of funds" that invest in other series of the Trust and other John Hancock funds.

The portfolios may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently offered by the portfolios are detailed in the Statements of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C are open to all investors. Class B shares are closed to new investors, subject to exceptions described in the portfolios' prospectus. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 and Class R5 shares are available only to certain retirement plans. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class 1 shares are offered only to certain affiliates of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC). Class 5 shares are available only to the John Hancock Freedom 529 plans. Class B shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

The accounting policies of the John Hancock underlying funds in which the portfolios invest are outlined in the underlying funds' shareholder reports, which include the underlying funds' financial statements, available without charge by calling 800-344-1029 or visiting jhinvestments.com, on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website at sec.gov or at the SEC's public reference room in Washington, D.C. The underlying funds are not covered by this report.

Note 2 — Significant accounting policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The portfolios qualify as investment companies under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the portfolios:

Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the portfolios' Valuation Policies and Procedures.

In order to value the securities, the portfolios use the following valuation techniques: Investments by the portfolios in underlying affiliated funds and/or other open-end management investment companies are valued at their respective NAVs each business day.

The portfolios use a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the portfolios' own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       38


quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

As of June 30, 2017, all investments are categorized as Level 1 under the hierarchy described above.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation. Income and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on ex-date.

Line of credit. The portfolios may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the portfolios' custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the portfolios to make properly authorized payments. The portfolios are obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any portfolio property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Effective June 29, 2017, the portfolios and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $750 million unsecured committed line of credit. Excluding commitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the need of other affiliated funds, the portfolios can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating portfolio based on a combination of fixed and asset based allocations and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statements of operations. Prior to June 29, 2017, the portfolios had a similar agreement that enabled it to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the portfolios had no borrowings under either line of credit.

Commitment fees for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were as follows:

   
Portfolio Commitment fee
Multimanager Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio $5,768
Multimanager Lifestyle Growth Portfolio 15,196
Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio 15,721
Multimanager Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio 5,849
Multimanager Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio 4,909

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.

Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the portfolio level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are calculated daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

Federal income taxes. Each portfolio intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

As of December 31, 2016, the portfolios have no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The portfolios' federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

The costs of investments owned on June 30, 2017, including short-term investments, for federal income tax purposes, were as follows:

                             
  Portfolio     Aggregate cost     Unrealized
appreciation
    Unrealized
(depreciation)
    Net unrealized
appreciation/
(depreciation)
 
  Multimanager Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio     $3,246,411,789     $939,280,451     ($15,530,198 )   $923,750,253  
  Multimanager Lifestyle Growth Portfolio     10,592,665,250     2,325,410,622     (57,913,187 )   2,267,497,435  
  Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced Portfolio     11,296,153,450     1,754,298,911     (77,262,083 )   1,677,036,828  
  Multimanager Lifestyle Moderate Portfolio     3,618,441,349     357,552,185     (31,546,234 )   326,005,951  
  Multimanager Lifestyle Conservative Portfolio     2,924,172,652     129,272,625     (30,943,812 )   98,328,813  

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The Multimanager Lifestyle Aggressive and Multimanager Lifestyle Growth Portfolios generally declare and pay income dividends and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually. The Multimanager Lifestyle Balanced, Multimanager Lifestyle Moderate and Multimanager Lifestyle Conservative Portfolios generally declare and pay income dividends quarterly and capital gain distributions, if any, at least annually.

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       39


Distributions paid by the portfolios with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.

Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Short-term gains from underlying funds are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.

Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnifications

Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the portfolios. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates

John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the portfolios. John Hancock Funds, LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the portfolios. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, wholly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC).

Management fee. The portfolios have an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor, equivalent on an annual basis, as detailed below. Aggregate net assets include the net assets of the portfolios and the net assets of similar funds of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust (JHVIT) and net assets of similar funds of the Trust. The Advisor has subadvisory agreements with John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset management (North America) Limited and John Hancock Asset Management a division of Manulife Asset Management (US) LLC, which are indirect owned subsidiaries of MFC and affiliates of the Advisor. The portfolios are not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.

Under the advisory agreement, the portfolios pay a daily management fee to the Advisor as outlined below:

     
  First $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets Excess over $7.5 billion of aggregate net assets
Affiliated fund assets 0.05% 0.04%
Other assets 0.50% 0.49%

The advisory fee has two components: (a) a fee on assets invested in affiliated funds (Affiliated fund assets) and (b) a fee on assets not invested in affiliated funds (Other assets). Affiliated funds are any funds of the Trust, JHVIT and John Hancock Funds III, excluding John Hancock 500 Index Trust B, John Hancock Total Bond Market Trust B and John Hancock International Equity Index Trust B.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class-specific expenses for Class A and Class I shares of the portfolios to the extent they exceed 0.41% and 0.11%, respectively, of average net assets (on an annualized basis) attributable to the class (the class expense waiver). The class expense waiver expires on April 30, 2018, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time. Prior to May 1, 2017, the Advisor had contractually agreed to waive and/or reimburse all class-specific expenses to the extent they exceed 0.56% and 0.00% of average net assets for Class R2 and Class R6 shares, respectively.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee and/ or make payment to each portfolio in an amount equal to the amount by which "Other expenses" of a portfolio exceed 0.05% of the average annual net assets (on an annualized basis) of the portfolio. "Other expenses" means all of the expenses of a portfolio, excluding certain expenses such as advisory fees, taxes, brokerage commissions, interest expense, litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the portfolio's business, class-specific expenses, underlying fund expenses (acquired fund fees), and short dividend expense. The current expense limitation agreement expires on April 30, 2018, unless renewed by mutual agreement of a portfolio and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive its advisory fees and/or reduce expenses by 0.002% of each portfolio's average net assets. This expense limitation agreement expires on April 30, 2018, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the portfolios and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor voluntarily agreed to waive its advisory fee for each portfolio so that the aggregate advisory fee retained by the Advisor with respect to both the portfolio and its underlying investments (after payment of subadvisory fees) does not exceed 0.50% of the portfolio's first $7.5 billion of average net assets and 0.49% of the portfolio's average net assets in excess of $7.5 billion. This voluntary waiver may be terminated at any time by the Advisor upon notice to the Trust.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the expense reductions related to these agreements amounted to the following and are reflected as a reduction of the total expenses in the Statements of operations:

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2017 were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of the portfolios' average daily net assets as follows:

Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the portfolios reimburse the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, accounting and recordkeeping services to the portfolios, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred for the six months ended June 30, 2017 amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of each portfolio's average daily net assets.

Distribution and service plans. The portfolios have a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The portfolios have adopted distribution and service plans with respect to Class A, Class B, Class C, Class R1, Class R2, Class R3, Class R4 and Class 1 shares pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the portfolios.

In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to five categories of share classes: Retail Share and Institutional Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Class R6 Shares, Retirement Share Classes and Municipal Bond Share Classes. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.

Note 8 — New rule issuance

In October 2016, the SEC issued Final Rule Release No.33-10231, Investment Company Reporting Modernization (the Release). The Release calls for the adoption of new rules and forms as well as amendments to its rules and forms to modernize the reporting and disclosure of information by registered investment companies. The SEC is adopting amendments to Regulation S-X, which will require standardized, enhanced disclosure about derivatives in investment company financial statements, as well as other amendments. The updates to Regulation S-X are effective August 1, 2017 and may result in additional disclosure relating to the presentation of derivatives and certain other financial instruments. These updates will have no impact on the fund's net assets or results of operations.

EVALUATION OF ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY AGREEMENTS BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES


This section describes the evaluation by the Board of Trustees (the Board) of John Hancock Funds II (the Trust) of the Advisory Agreement (the Advisory Agreement) and each Subadvisory Agreement and Sub-Subadvisory Agreement (collectively, the Subadvisory Agreements) with respect to each of the portfolios of the Trust included in this report except those otherwise noted below (the Funds). The Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements are collectively referred to as the Agreements. Prior to the June 19-22, 2017 in-person meeting at which the Agreements were approved, the Board also discussed and considered information regarding the proposed continuation of the Agreements at an in-person meeting held on May 22-24, 2017.

Approval of Advisory and Subadvisory Agreements

At in-person meetings held on June 19-22, 2017, the Board, including the Trustees who are not parties to any Agreement or considered to be interested persons of the Trust under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act) (the Independent Trustees), reapproved for an annual period, the continuation of the Advisory Agreement between the Trust and the Advisor and the applicable Subadvisory Agreements between the Advisor and the sub-advisers (and sub-subadvisers) (each, a Subadvisor and collectively, the Subadvisors) with respect to each of the Funds in this report, except as noted above.

In considering the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund, the Board received in advance of the meetings a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Advisor and each Subadvisor, including comparative performance, fee and expense information for peer groups of similar mutual funds prepared by an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data; performance information for the Funds' benchmark indices; and, with respect to each Subadvisor, comparative performance information for comparably managed accounts, as applicable; and other information provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors regarding the nature, extent and quality of services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors under their respective Agreements, as well as information regarding the Advisor's revenues and costs of providing services to the Funds and any compensation paid to affiliates of the Advisor. At the meetings at which the renewal of the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreements are considered, particular focus is given to information concerning Fund performance, comparability of fees and total expenses, and profitability. However, the Board noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Advisor and the Subadvisors is an ongoing one. In this regard, the Board also took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board (including its various committees) at prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors to the Funds, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results, and periodic presentations from the Subadvisors with respect to the Funds they manage. The information received and considered by the Board both in conjunction with the May and June meetings and throughout the year was both written and oral. The Board noted the affiliation of certain of the Subadvisors with the Advisor, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Board also considered the nature, quality, and extent of the non-advisory services, if any, to be provided to the Funds by the Advisor's affiliates, including distribution services. The Board considered the Advisory Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreements separately in the course of its review. In doing so, the Board noted the respective roles of the Advisor and the Subadvisors in providing services to the Funds. In addition, although the Board approved the renewal of the Agreements for all of the Funds at the June meeting, the Board considered each Fund separately.

Throughout the process, the Board asked questions of and requested additional information from management. The Board is assisted by counsel for the Trust and the Independent Trustees are also separately assisted by independent legal counsel throughout the process. The Independent Trustees also received a memorandum from their independent counsel discussing the legal standards for their consideration of the proposed continuation of the Agreements and discussed the proposed continuation of the Agreements in private sessions with their independent legal counsel at which no representatives of management were present.

Approval of Advisory Agreement

In approving the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, considered a variety of factors, including those discussed below. The Board also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets and the industry) and did not treat any single factor as determinative, and each Trustee may have attributed different weights to different factors. The Board's conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory and subadvisory arrangements in prior years and on the Board's ongoing regular review of Fund performance and operations throughout the year.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. Among the information received by the Board from the Advisor relating to the nature, extent and quality of services provided to the Funds, the Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor relating to its operations and personnel, descriptions of its organizational and management structure, and information regarding the Advisor's compliance and regulatory history, including its Form ADV. The Board also noted that on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trust's Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding the Funds' compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. The Board observed that the scope of services provided by the Advisor, and of the undertakings required of the Advisor in connection with those services, including maintaining and monitoring its own and the Fund's compliance programs, risk management programs, liquidity management programs and cybersecurity programs, had expanded over time as a result of regulatory, market and other developments. The Board considered that the Advisor is responsible for the management of the day-to-day operations of the Funds, including but not limited to, general supervision of and coordination of the services provided by the Subadvisors, and is also responsible for monitoring and reviewing the activities of the Subadvisors and other third-party service providers. The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by the Advisor in connection with the services provided to the Funds including entrepreneurial risk in sponsoring new Funds and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks with respect to all Funds.

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Advisor, the Trustees also took into account their knowledge of the Advisor's management and the quality of the performance of the Advisor's duties, through Board meetings, discussions and reports during the preceding year and through each Trustee's experience as a Trustee of the Trust and of the other trusts in the complex.

In the course of their deliberations regarding the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       59


     
  (a) the skills and competency with which the Advisor has in the past managed the Trust's affairs and its subadvisory relationships, the Advisor's oversight and monitoring of the Subadvisors' investment performance and compliance programs, such as the Subadvisors' compliance with fund policies and objectives, review of brokerage matters including with respect to trade allocation and best execution, and the Advisor's timeliness in responding to performance issues;
  (b) the background, qualifications and skills of the Advisor's personnel;
  (c) the Advisor's compliance policies and procedures and its responsiveness to regulatory changes and mutual fund industry developments;
  (d) the Advisor's administrative capabilities, including its ability to supervise the other service providers for the Funds;
  (e) the financial condition of the Advisor and whether it has the financial wherewithal to provide a high level and quality of services to the Funds;
  (f) the Advisor's initiatives intended to improve various aspects of the Trust's operations and investor experience with the Funds; and
  (g) the Advisor's reputation and experience in serving as an investment adviser to the Trust and the benefit to shareholders of investing in funds that are part of a family of funds offering a variety of investments.

The Board concluded that the Advisor may reasonably be expected to continue to provide a high quality of services under the Advisory Agreement with respect to the Funds.

Investment Performance. In considering each Fund's performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled meetings information about the Funds' performance results. In connection with the consideration of the Advisory Agreement, the Board:

     
  (a) reviewed information prepared by management regarding the Funds' performance;
  (b) considered the comparative performance of each Fund's respective benchmark;
  (c) considered the performance of comparable funds, if any, as included in the report prepared by an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data; and
  (d) took into account the Advisor's analysis of each Fund's performance and its plans and recommendations regarding the Trust's subadvisory arrangements generally and with respect to particular Funds.

The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized its limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection of the peer group. The Board noted that each Fund had generally underperformed the historical performance of comparable funds and the Funds' benchmark. The Board concluded that each Fund's performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed.

Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed comparative information prepared by an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data including, among other data, each Fund's contractual and net management fees (and subadvisory fees, to the extent available) and total expenses as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund in light of the nature, extent and quality of the management and subadvisory services provided by the Advisor and the Subadvisors. The Board considered each Fund's ranking within a smaller group of peer funds chosen by the independent third-party provider, as well as the Fund's ranking within broader groups of funds. In comparing each Fund's contractual and net management fees to that of comparable funds, the Board noted that such fee includes both advisory and administrative costs.

The Board took into account management's discussion with respect to the overall management fee, the fees of each Subadvisor, including the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Advisor after payment of the subadvisory fees, in each case in light of the services rendered for those amounts and the risks undertaken by the Advisor. The Board also noted that, in addition, the Advisor is currently waiving fees and/or reimbursing expenses with respect to certain of the Funds. The Board also noted that the Advisor pays the subadvisory fees of the Funds. The Board also took into account that management had agreed to implement an overall fee waiver across the complex, which is discussed further below. The Board also noted management's discussion of the Funds' expenses, as well as certain actions taken over the past several years to reduce the Funds' operating expenses. The Board reviewed information provided by the Advisor concerning investment advisory fees charged to other clients (including other funds in the complex) having similar investment mandates, if any. The Board considered any differences between the Advisor's and Subadvisor's services to a Fund and the services they provide to other such comparable clients or funds. The Board concluded that the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Funds is reasonable in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided to the Funds under the Advisory Agreement.

In addition, the Trustees reviewed the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor for each Fund and concluded that the advisory fee to be paid to the Advisor with respect to each Fund is based on services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided pursuant to the advisory agreements for the underlying portfolios of the Fund and that the additional services are necessary because of the differences between the investment policies, strategies and techniques of a Fund and those of its underlying portfolios.

Profitability/Fall Out Benefits. In considering the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisors that are affiliated with the Advisor) from the Advisor's relationship with the Trust, the Board:

                 
        (a)     reviewed financial information of the Advisor;  
        (b)     reviewed and considered information presented by the Advisor regarding the net profitability to the Advisor and its affiliates, of each Fund;  
        (c)     received and reviewed profitability information with respect to the John Hancock fund complex as a whole and respect to each Fund;  

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       60


                 
        (d)     received information with respect to the Advisor's allocation methodologies used in preparing the profitability data and considered that the Advisor hired an independent third-party consultant to provide an analysis of the Advisor's allocation methodologies;  
        (e)     considered that the John Hancock insurance companies that are affiliates of the Advisor, as shareholders of the Trust directly or through their separate accounts, receive certain tax credits or deductions relating to foreign taxes paid and dividends received by certain Funds of the Trust and noted that these tax benefits, which are not available to participants in qualified retirement plans under applicable income tax law, are reflected in the profitability analysis reviewed by the Board;  
        (f)     considered that the Advisor also provides administrative services to the Funds on a cost basis pursuant to an administrative services agreement;  
        (g)     noted that the Funds' Subadvisors are affiliates of the Advisor;  
        (h)     noted that affiliates of the Advisor provide transfer agency services and distribution services to the Funds, and that the Trust's distributor also receives Rule 12b-1 payments to support distribution of the products;  
        (i)     noted that the Advisor also derives reputational and other indirect benefits from providing advisory services to the Funds;  
        (j)     noted that the subadvisory fees for the Funds are paid by the Advisor;  
        (k)     with respect to each Fund, the Board noted that the advisory fee is in addition to the fees received by the Advisor and its affiliates with regard to the underlying portfolios in which the Funds may invest;  
        (l)     considered the Advisor's ongoing costs and expenditures necessary to improve services, meet new regulatory and compliance requirements, and adapt to other challenges impacting the mutual fund industry; and  
        (m)     considered that the Advisor should be entitled to earn a reasonable level of profits in exchange for the level of services it provides to each Fund and the risks that it assumes as Advisor, including entrepreneurial, operational, reputational, litigation and regulatory risk.  

Based upon its review, the Board concluded that the level of profitability, if any, of the Advisor and its affiliates (including the Subadvisors that are affiliated with the Advisor), from their relationship with each Fund was reasonable and not excessive.

Economies of Scale. In considering the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as a Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect these economies of scale for the benefit of Fund shareholders, the Board:

     
  (a) considered that with respect to the John Hancock underlying portfolios in which the Funds invest, the Advisor has agreed to waive a portion of its management fee for such fund and for each of the other John Hancock funds in the complex (except as discussed below) (the Participating Portfolios) or otherwise reimburse the expenses of the Participating Portfolios (the Reimbursement). This waiver is based on the aggregate net assets of all the Participating Portfolios. The Board also noted that the Advisor had implemented additional breakpoints to the complex-wide fee waiver in recent years.
    (The Funds that are not Participating Portfolios as of the date of this annual report are each Fund and each other of the funds of funds of the Trust and John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust and John Hancock Collateral Trust. These funds of funds also benefit from such overall management fee waiver through their investment in underlying portfolios that include certain of the Participating Portfolios, which are subject to the Reimbursement.
  (b) the Board also considered the effect of the Funds' growth in size on their performance and fees. The Board also noted that if the Funds' assets increase over time, the Funds may realize other economies of scale.

Approval of Subadvisory Agreements

In making its determination with respect to approval of the Subadvisory Agreements, the Board reviewed:

     
  (1) information relating to each Subadvisor's business, including current subadvisory services to the Trust (and other funds in the John Hancock family of funds);
  (2) the historical and current performance of each Fund and comparative performance information relating to the Fund's benchmark and comparable funds; and
  (3) the subadvisory fee for each Fund and comparative fee information, where available, prepared by an independent third-party provider of mutual fund data.

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. With respect to the services provided by each of the Subadvisors with respect to each Fund, the Board received information provided to the Board by each Subadvisor, including each Subadvisor's Form ADV, as well as took into account information presented throughout the past year. The Board considered each Subadvisor's current level of staffing and its overall resources, as well as received information relating to a Subadvisor's compensation program. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor's history and investment experience, as well as information regarding the qualifications, background and responsibilities of the Subadvisor's investment and compliance personnel who provide services to the Funds. The Board also considered, among other things, the Subadvisor's compliance program and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered the Subadvisor's risk assessment and monitoring process. The Board reviewed each Subadvisor's regulatory history, including whether it was currently involved in any regulatory actions or investigations as well as material litigation, and any settlements and amelioratory actions undertaken, as appropriate. The Board noted that the Advisor conducts regular, periodic reviews of each Subadvisor and its operations, including regarding investment processes and organizational and staffing matters. The Board also noted that the CCO and his staff conduct regular, periodic compliance reviews with each of the Subadvisors and present reports to the Independent Trustees regarding the same, which includes evaluating the regulatory compliance systems of the

SEMIANNUAL REPORT   |   JOHN HANCOCK MULTIMANAGER LIFESTYLE PORTFOLIOS       61


Subadvisors and procedures reasonably designed by them to assure compliance with the federal securities laws. The Board also took into account the financial condition of each Subadvisor.

The Board considered each Subadvisor's investment process and philosophy. The Board took into account that each Subadvisor's responsibilities include the development and maintenance of an investment program for the applicable Fund which is consistent with the Fund's investment objectives, the selection of investment securities and underlying funds and the placement of orders for the purchase and sale of such securities and underlying funds, as well as the implementation of compliance controls related to performance of these services. The Board also received information with respect to each Subadvisor's brokerage policies and practices, including with respect to best execution and soft dollars.

Subadvisor Compensation. In considering the cost of services to be provided by each Subadvisor and the profitability to that Subadvisor of its relationship with the Fund, the Board noted that the fees under the Subadvisory Agreements are paid by the Advisor and not the Funds. The Board also relied on the ability of the Advisor to negotiate each Subadvisory Agreement with Subadvisors that are not affiliated with the Advisor and the fees thereunder at arm's length. As a result, the costs of the services to be provided and the profits to be realized by unaffiliated Subadvisors from their relationship with the Trust were not a material factor in the Board's consideration of the Subadvisory Agreements.

The Board also received information regarding the nature and scope (including their significance to the Advisor and its affiliates and to unaffiliated Subadvisors) of any material relationships with respect to the unaffiliated Subadvisors, which include arrangements in which unaffiliated Subadvisors or their affiliates provide advisory, distribution or management services in connection with financial products sponsored by the Trust's Advisor or its affiliates, and may include shares of the Trust, other registered investment companies, a 529 education savings plan, managed separate accounts and exempt group annuity contracts sold to qualified plans. The Board also received information and took into account any other potential conflicts of interests the Advisor might have in connection with the Subadvisory Agreements.

In addition, the Board considered other potential indirect benefits that the Subadvisors and their affiliates may receive from the Subadvisor's relationship with the Fund, such as the opportunity to provide advisory services to additional portfolios of the Trusts and reputational benefits.

Subadvisory Fees. The Board considered that the Fund pays an advisory fee to the Advisor and that, in turn, the Advisor pays a subadvisory fee to each Subadvisor. As noted above, the Board also considered, if available, each Fund's sub-advisory fees as compared to similarly situated investment companies deemed to be comparable to the Fund as included in the report prepared by the independent third party provider of mutual fund data. The Board also took into account the sub-advisory fees paid by the Advisor to fees charged by each Fund's Subadvisor to manage other sub-advised portfolios and portfolios not subject to regulation under the 1940 Act, as applicable.

Subadvisor Performance. As noted above, the Board considered each Fund's performance as compared to the Fund's respective peer group and benchmark and noted that the Board reviews information about the Fund's performance results at its regularly scheduled meetings. The Board noted the Advisor's expertise and resources in monitoring the performance, investment style, and risk-adjusted performance of each Subadvisor. The Board was mindful of the Advisor's focus on each Subadvisor's performance. The Board also noted each Subadvisor's long-term performance record for similar accounts, as applicable.

The Board's decision to approve the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund was based on a number of determinations, including the following:

     
  (1) Each Subadvisor has extensive experience and demonstrated skills as a manager;
  (2) Although not without variation, the performance of each Fund managed by a Subadvisor generally has been in line with or outperformed the historical performance of comparable funds and the Fund's respective benchmarks, with the exceptions noted in Appendix A (with respect to such exceptions, the Board considered the steps the Subadvisor had taken to address performance and concluded that performance is being monitored and reasonably addressed);
  (3) The subadvisory fees are reasonable in relation to the level and quality of services being provided under the Subadvisory Agreement; and
  (4) Subadvisory fees are paid by the Adviser and not the Funds and the advisory fees for each Fund contains breakpoints that permit shareholders to benefit from economies of scale if those Funds grow.

In addition, in the case of each Fund, the Trustees reviewed the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor for the Fund and concluded that the subadvisory fee to be paid to the Subadvisor with respect to each Fund is based on services provided that are in addition to, rather than duplicative of, the services provided pursuant to the advisory agreements and subadvisory agreements for the underlying portfolios of the Fund and that the additional services are necessary because of the differences between the investment policies, strategies and techniques of a Fund and those of its underlying portfolios.

Additional information relating to each Fund's fees and expenses and performance that the Board considered in approving the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement for a particular Fund is set forth in Appendix A.

* * *

Based on their evaluation of all factors that they deemed to be material, including those factors described above, the Board, including the Independent Trustees, concluded that renewal of the Advisory Agreement and each of the Subadvisory Agreements with respect to each Fund would be in the best interest of each of the respective Funds and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board, and the Independent Trustees voting separately, approved the Advisory Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each Fund for an additional one-year period.
