Investment Objective

This portfolio invests exclusively in the John Hancock Funds II Lifestyle Growth Portfolio Class 5. This fund in turn seeks long-term growth of capital. Current income is also a consideration. To pursue this goal, the fund invests in other underlying mutual funds. Normally the fund invests approximately 80% of assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and approximately 20% of assets in underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed-income securities. The variations in the target allocation between underlying funds that invest primarily in equity securities and underlying funds that invest primarily in fixed income securities are permitted up to 10% in either direction. Thus, the fund may have an equity/fixed-income fund allocation of 90%/10% or 70%/30%. The assets in the fund are rebalanced quarterly to maintain the selected percentage level.
