Supplement dated March 25, 2020 to the current Prospectus, as may be supplemented (the Prospectus)

 

Effective immediately, the first paragraph under “Execution of requests” in the “Transaction Policies” section is revised and restated in its entirety as follows:

 

The fund is open for business when the NYSE is open, typically 9:30 A.M. to 4:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. A purchase or redemption order received in good order by the fund prior to the close of regular trading on the NYSE, on a day the fund is open for business, will be effected at that day’s NAV. An order received in good order after the fund close will generally be effected at the NAV determined on the next business day. 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 time until which orders are accepted may vary to the extent permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission and applicable regulations. This may result in the fund closing for business prior to the time at which the fund’s NAV is determined. In this case, orders submitted after the fund closing may receive the NAV determined on the next business day.

 

At times of peak activity, it may be difficult to place requests by telephone, if available for your share class. During these times, consider using EASI-Line, accessing jhinvestments.com, or sending your request in writing.

 

You should read this Supplement in conjunction with the Prospectus and retain it for your future reference.
