The adviser has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its
management fee and/or reimburse or pay operating expenses of the
fund in order to reduce the total annual fund operating expenses
for Class I shares by 0.05% of the funds average
daily net assets. These fee waivers
and/or
reimbursements expire on September 30, 2012, unless renewed
by mutual agreement of the fund and the adviser based upon a
determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances
at the 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 at the end of the various time
frames indicated. 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 funds performance. During its most recent
fiscal year, the funds portfolio turnover rate was 88% of
the average value of its portfolio.
An
Income Fund
John
Hancock
Bond Fund
Principal
investment strategies
Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of
its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in
a diversified portfolio of bonds. These may include, but are not
limited to, corporate bonds and debentures, as well as
U.S. government and agency securities. Most of these
securities are investment grade, although the fund may invest up
to 25% of assets in high-yield bonds rated as low as CC/Ca and
their unrated equivalents. There is no limit on the funds
average maturity.
In managing the funds portfolio, the subadviser
concentrates on sector allocation, industry allocation and
securities selection: deciding which types of bonds and
industries to emphasize at a given time, and then which
individual bonds to buy. When making sector and industry
allocations, the subadviser tries to anticipate shifts in the
business cycle, using top-down analysis to determine which
sectors and industries may benefit over the next 12 months.
In choosing individual securities, the subadviser uses
bottom-up
research to find securities that appear comparatively
undervalued. The subadviser looks at bonds of all quality levels
and maturities from many different issuers, potentially
including foreign governments and corporations denominated in
U.S. dollars or foreign currencies. The fund will not
invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities
denominated in foreign currencies.
The fund intends to keep its exposure to interest rate movements
generally in line with those of its peers. The fund may invest
in mortgage-related securities and derivatives, which include
futures contracts on securities and indices; options on futures
contracts, securities and indices; and interest rate, foreign
currency and credit default swaps; in each case, for the
purposes of reducing risk, obtaining efficient market exposure
and/or
enhancing investment returns. The funds investments in
U.S. government and agency securities may or may not be
supported by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Under normal circumstances, the fund may not invest more than
10% of assets in cash or cash equivalents.
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 funds
shares will go up and down in price, meaning that you could lose
money by investing in the fund. Many factors influence a mutual
funds 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
funds 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 funds 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 funds main risk factors are listed below in
alphabetical order. Before investing, be sure to read the
additional descriptions of these risks beginning on page 5
of the prospectus.
Active management risk The subadvisers investment
strategy may fail to produce the intended result.
Changing distribution levels risk The amount of the
distributions paid by the fund generally depends on the amount
of income
and/or
dividends received by the fund on the securities it holds.
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 funds securities,
may be unable or unwilling to make timely principal, interest or
settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations.
U.S. government securities are subject to varying degrees
of credit risk depending upon the nature of their support.
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.
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. 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 and swaps. The use of derivative instruments
(such as options, futures and swaps) 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.
High portfolio turnover risk Actively trading securities
can increase transaction costs (thus lowering performance) and
taxable distributions.
Lower-rated fixed-income securities risk and high-yield
securities risk Lower-rated fixed-income securities and
high-yield fixed-income securities (commonly know 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.
Mortgage-backed and asset-backed securities risk
Different types of mortgage-backed securities and
asset-backed securities are subject to different combinations of
prepayment, extension, interest rate
and/or other
market risks.
Past
performance
Calendar year total returns The following performance
information in the bar chart and table below illustrates the
variability of the funds returns and provides some
indication of the risks of investing in the fund, by showing
changes in the funds performance from year to year;
however, as always, past performance (before and after taxes)
does not indicate future results. 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 Signature Services at 1-888-972-8696 between 8:00 A.M.
and 7:00 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 They 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.
November 9, 1973 is the inception date for the oldest
class of shares, Class A shares. Class I shares
were first offered on September 4, 2001; the returns prior
to this date are those of Class A shares that have been
recalculated to apply the fees and expenses of Class I
shares.

Taxes
The funds distributions are taxable, and will be taxed as
ordinary income
and/or
capital gains, unless you are investing through a tax-deferred
arrangement, such as a 401(k) plan or individual retirement
account. Withdrawals from such tax-deferred arrangements may be

Payments
to broker-dealers and other financial intermediaries

financial intermediary (such as a bank, registered investment
adviser, financial planner or retirement plan administrator),
the fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for
the sale of fund shares and related services. These payments may
create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer
or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the fund
over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your
financial intermediarys Web site for more information.
