  2. Three things to know about today’s bond market 1 • Declining interest rates have driven bond returns higher for more than 20 years 2 • With today’s low yields, rate increases could lead to big losses 3 • Stretching for income is a risky proposition Source: John Hancock Investments, 2017.

Please see slide 17 for complete definitions. At today’s levels, interest rates can’t get much lower

  4. 2 With today’s low yields, rate increases could lead to big losses According to one study: If rates rise 3% over the course of 3 years bondholders could lose more than of their portfolios’ value 22% Source: “When Bonds Fall: How Risky Are Bonds if Interest Rates Rise?” Welton Investment Corporation, 2012. Because the income offered today is so low, it could take years for coupon payments to make up for any capital losses

  18. A word about risk Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if an issuer is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability. Liquidity—the extent to which a security may be sold or a derivative position closed without negatively affecting its market value, if at all—may be impaired by reduced trading volume, heightened volatility, rising interest rates, and other market conditions. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates. Frequent trading may increase fund transaction costs and increase taxable distributions. The use of hedging and derivatives could produce disproportionate gains or losses and may increase costs. A portfolio concentrated in one sector or that holds a limited number of securities may fluctuate more than a diversified portfolio. Loan participations and assignments involve additional risks, including credit, interest-rate, counterparty, liquidity, and lending risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may be sensitive to changes in interest rates, and may be subject to early repayment and the market’s perception of issuer creditworthiness. Absolute return funds are not designed to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets. There is no guarantee of a positive return, of the fund achieving its objective, or that volatility-reducing strategies will be successful. Fund distributions generally depend on income from underlying investments and may vary or cease altogether in the future. Please see the funds’ prospectuses for additional risks.
