  3. We are going to live with it for a while 1 The level of stock market volatility in recent years is unprecedented S&P 500 Index, 1950–2016 (trading days per year with greater than +/–2% returns) Lehman Brothers bankruptcy Enron, WorldCom bankruptcies European sovereign debt crisis begins September 11 terrorist attacks Black Monday stock market crash Unemployment hits 10% President Kennedy assassinated Tech bubble bursts President Nixon resigns Korean War begins Long-Term Capital Management collapse, President Clinton impeached U.S. debt downgraded Oil crisis Warsaw Pact signed Soviets launch Sputnik Asian currency crisis Cuban missile crisis Iran hostage crisis Vietnam War escalates 2016 RECESSION 7/53–5/54 RECESSION 8/57–4/58 RECESSION 4/60–2/61 RECESSION 12/69–11/70 RECESSION 11/73–3/75 RECESSION 1/80–7/80 RECESSION 7/81–11/82 RECESSION 7/90–3/91 RECESSION 3/01–11/01 RECESSION 12/07–6/09 Source: FactSet, John Hancock Investments, as of 2015.

  5. 3 Cash is not the answer for long-term investors • How long does it take to recover from losses? Source: FactSet, as of 2016. For illustrative purposes only.

  6. Half of the biggest market swings since 1950 occurred in the past dozen years • Investors face a choice Double-down Try to rebuild account values through more aggressive strategies Retreat Preserve assets with ultraconservative— and low return—investments Take advantage of investments and strategies to pursue positive returns with less volatility Invest smarter Since 1950, 23 of the top 50 daily gains and 27 of the top 50 daily losses in the S&P 500 Index occurred between 2004 and 2015. Please see slides 14 and 15 for index and term definitions.

  7. Consider alternatives to traditional markets • Alternatives have generated returns independent of traditional markets Growth of $100,000 through various market cycles Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 3/31/17. The diversified alternatives portfolio is represented by an equal-weighted blend of all nine alternative categories shown in the chart. Please see slides 14 and 15 for index and term definitions. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss. Standard deviation measures performance fluctuation, may not be indicative of future risk, and is not a predictor of returns. Correlation is a statistical measure that describes how investments move in relation to each other, which ranges from –1.00 to 1.00. The closer the number is to 1.00 or –1.00, the more closely the two investments are related. The chart is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any John Hancock fund. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

  10. Adding alternatives can help dampen portfolio volatility • A portfolio that included alternatives produced higher risk-adjusted returns • Performance results since 2000 Traditional portfolio Traditional portfolio plus alternatives Stocks Bonds Diversified alternatives Source: FactSet, Morningstar Direct, as of 3/31/17. Diversified alternatives are represented by an equal-weighted blend of all nine alternative categories shown on slides 7 and 8. Please see slides 14 and 15 for index and term definitions.

These chart are for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any John Hancock fund. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or eliminate the risk of a loss. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Sharpe ratio is a measure of excess return per unit of risk, as defined by standard deviation. A higher Sharpe ratio suggests better risk-adjusted performance. Standard deviation measures performance fluctuation—generally, the higher the standard deviation, the greater the expected volatility.

  16. A word about risk Absolute return funds are not designed to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets. They employ certain techniques intended to reduce risk and volatility and provide protection against a decline in assets. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objectives. The use of hedging and derivatives may increase volatility and costs. The issuer or grantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction, may be unable or unwilling to make principal, interest, or settlement payments. 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, which may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund’s investments. The fund’s strategies entail a high degree of risk. Leveraging, short positions, a non-diversified portfolio focused in a few sectors, and the use of hedging and derivatives greatly amplify the risk of potential loss and can increase costs. A non-diversified portfolio holds a limited number of securities, making it vulnerable to events affecting a single issuer. The stock prices of midsize and small companies can change more frequently and dramatically than those of large companies. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Exchange-traded funds reflect the risks inherent in their underlying securities, including liquidity risk. Alternative Asset Allocation Fund’s performance depends on the advisor’s skill in determining 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 they were selected to represent. The fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which it invests: Stocks and bonds 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. 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. Please see the funds’ prospectuses for additional risks.
