5 John Hancock Freedom 529 Letter Dear College Saver: Equity markets generally delivered solid gains over the ended June 30, 207, both in the United States and beyond, supported by rising economic activity, stronger corporate earnings, and low levels of inflation. With the U.S. bull market in its ninth year, investors in U.S. equities should expect more tempered returns going forward, given high valuations and tightening monetary policy. Indeed, non-u.s. markets recently reversed a multi-year bout of underperformance and have begun to outpace those in the United States as growth strengthens around the world. Monetary policy also remains accommodative in many parts of the world as central banks strive to spur economic growth that has lagged behind that of the United States. Bond markets were a study in contrast over the past, with credit-sensitive segments enjoying solid gains, while interest-rate-sensitive areas posted much more muted returns and, in some cases, losses. Regardless of what happens in the markets, the many investment options offered through the John Hancock Freedom 529 plan can help you find the right path toward diversification and meeting your long-term college planning goals. Plan enhancements Helping our shareholders pursue their financial goals is at the core of everything we do.

6 Investment commentary Market Commentary Market performance has a direct effect on the overall performance of investments in the John Hancock Freedom 529 Plan. The following is designed to provide a summary of market performance for the period ended June 30, 207. U.S. stocks surge as economy picks up, corporate earnings rebound Steady economic growth and a rebound in corporate profits lifted stock markets worldwide in our fiscal year ended June 30, 207. U.S. stocks were range-bound early in the period amid caution before November s presidential election and uncertainty about the timing of the Federal Reserve s interest rate hikes. After the election, U.S. stocks soared as investors pinned their hopes on tax cuts, deregulation, and other business-friendly policies under the new administration. A long-awaited corporate earnings recovery fueled the rally. Overall profits for the S&P 500 rose at their fastest year-over-year pace in several years in the first quarter of 207 a welcome change after five quarters of earnings declines that began in mid-205. The S&P 500 Index rose to record levels through June, joining many global stock benchmarks that reached all-time highs. U.S. small-cap stocks outperformed their larger peers. Growth stocks outpaced value stocks among large- and mid-cap stocks, while small-cap growth and small-cap value stocks fared roughly the same, according to various Russell indexes. Nine of sectors in the S&P 500 Index advanced while two fell. Financials gained the most, driven by rising interest rates, hopes for deregulation, and favorable results of the Fed s annual stress test for banks. Information technology was the next best performer due to outsized gains in a few technology and Internet stocks. Conversely, telecommunication services retreated as wireless operators grappled with weak subscriber growth and growing competition. The energy sector declined as crude oil prices sank in the first half of 207 amid a persistent global oversupply of oil. Signs of steady economic growth outside the U.S. offset mounting concerns about the Trump administration s ability to deliver on its agenda. Evidence of a sustained recovery grew more plentiful in Europe and Japan, helped by ultra-low interest rates and other accommodative measures implemented by central banks in both markets. Emerging markets stocks outperformed developed markets stocks as the global recovery translated into increased trade, benefiting export-driven economies across the developing world. All major emerging regions advanced, led by Asia, as strong growth in China drove economic activity in the region. U.S. investment-grade bonds retreat, but high yield shines U.S. investment-grade bonds slightly declined over our fiscal year. In the second half of 206, yields on longer-term Treasuries rose and prices fell as economic data improved and the Fed signaled that it was drawing closer to raising interest rates for the first time since December 205. (Bond prices and yields move in opposite directions.) Yields spiked after the election on anticipation of pro-growth policies under President GLOBAL MARKET RETURNS AS OF 6/30/7 (%) Periods ended 6/30/7 6-month return 2-month return S&P 500 Index Nasdaq Composite Index* Russell 2000 Index MSCI EAFE Index Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index * Principal return only.

7 Trump and an interest rate increase in December. This year, however, longer-term Treasury yields reversed course as inflation stayed tame and investors surmised that Trump s expansionary fiscal agenda would take longer than expected to materialize. Following the Fed s rate hike in December 206, the central bank raised interest rates in March and June and signaled one more hike in 207. It also announced plans to start gradually reducing its $4.5 trillion balance sheet consisting of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities later this year. In the investment-grade universe, long-term corporate bonds performed the best as credit spreads the yield difference between Treasuries and bonds with some credit risk narrowed as the earnings recovery supported corporate fundamentals. On the other hand, long-term Treasuries declined. High yield bonds widely outpaced their investment-grade peers. High yield bonds rallied as they benefited from commodity prices stabilizing well above their lows in early 206, a subdued default outlook, and strong demand in an environment of low-yielding securities globally. Bonds in developed non-u.s. markets declined in dollar terms as government bond yields in the UK and the eurozone rose over the past year. In the UK, government bond yields rebounded from their post- Brexit lows and after some Bank of England policymakers signaled in June that they were leaning toward increasing rates. In the eurozone, government bond yields surged from very low levels as speculation grew that the improving economy would lead the European Central Bank to start unwinding its years-long stimulus program. Currency weakness in our fiscal year s first half also hurt dollar-based returns. The British pound and Japanese yen each fell sharply against the dollar over the last, though most global currencies have appreciated against the greenback in 207. Dollar-denominated emerging markets bonds rose modestly in dollar terms, overcoming a postelection sell-off last November. Stable global growth, higher commodity prices, and relatively higher interest rates in most developing countries helped support the asset class.

11 Portfolio highlights Enrollment-based portfolios PORTFOLIO Portfolio generated a double-digit return and performed in line with its weighted benchmark for the 2-month period ended June 30, 207. The portfolio s focus is long-term capital appreciation. Its assets are primarily held in a diversified selection of growth and value stock funds invested in U.S. companies and companies in international developed and emerging markets. Later in the portfolio s life cycle, it will incorporate more lower-volatility, fixed income investments. Overall, security selection in the underlying funds contributed to relative performance. The T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark and contributed the most to relative performance, followed by the John Hancock Capital Appreciation Fund and John Hancock Disciplined Value Fund. Conversely, the T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund, John Hancock International Growth Fund, and Oppenheimer International Growth Fund trailed their respective benchmarks and detracted from relative performance. The inclusion of diversifying sectors that are not included in the benchmark detracted from relative returns. Specifically, exposure to real assets through the T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund which invests in energy and commodity companies weighed on relative returns as crude oil prices slumped in 207 amid a continued global oversupply of oil.

16 COLLEGE PORTFOLIO The College Portfolio generated a single-digit return and outperformed its weighted benchmark for the 2-month period ended June 30, 207. The portfolio invests in a diversified blend of bonds and conservative fixed income securities, representing about 80% of assets. It also holds a 20% allocation in stocks. This structure is designed to allow investors to generate growth in their college savings accounts while reducing the risk of principal loss through a combination of diversification and conservative fixed income investments. Overall, security selection in the underlying funds contributed to relative performance. The T. Rowe Price Spectrum Income Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark and contributed the most to relative performance, followed by the T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund and John Hancock Strategic Income Opportunities Fund. Conversely, the T. Rowe Price Limited Duration Inflation Focused Bond Fund trailed its respective benchmark and detracted from relative performance. The inclusion of diversifying sectors that are not included in the benchmark detracted from relative returns. Specifically, exposure to real assets through the T.

17 Portfolio highlights Static portfolios FUTURE TRENDS PORTFOLIO The Future Trends Portfolio generated a double-digit return and underperformed its weighted benchmark for the 2-month period ended June 30, 207. The Future Trends Portfolio invests in three underlying funds: the T. Rowe Price Science & Technology Fund, T. Rowe Price Health Sciences Fund, and T. Rowe Price Financial Services Fund. Each fund focuses on an area within the broader market that provides products or services that are expected to play a key role in driving future economic growth. All three underlying funds share a common strategic approach: They invest in fundamentally strong companies deemed to have the best growth prospects within their specific sectors. The T. Rowe Price Science & Technology Fund detracted from relative performance chiefly due to unfavorable positioning in the media industry. The T. Rowe Price Health Sciences Fund performed in line with the weighted benchmark as unfavorable positioning in pharmaceuticals and health care services companies generally offset positive results in biotechnology and products and devices companies. The T. Rowe Price Financial Services Fund contributed to relative performance. Financial stocks performed well over the period amid a rising interest rate environment and stable global financial markets. Returns were particularly strong in the 206 postelection rally as investors anticipated expansionary fiscal policy and financial deregulation under the Trump administration. Bank stocks also received a boost in June when they passed the Federal Reserve s annual stress test, effectively allowing them to substantially boost dividends and share buybacks. Performance comparison as of 6/30/7 (%) A, including sales charge 23.4 (issues before June 3, 2002) A, including sales charge 2.23 (issues on or after June 3, 2002) A, excluding sales charge 27.6 B, including sales charge B, excluding sales charge C C F Weighted benchmark Equity 6/30/6 6/30/7 00% 00% Portfolio composition (%) T.

18 EQUITY PORTFOLIO The Equity Portfolio generated a double-digit return and outperformed its weighted benchmark for the 2-month period ended June 30, 207. The portfolio s focus is long-term capital appreciation. Its assets are held in a diversified selection of growth and value stock funds invested in U.S. companies and companies in international developed and emerging markets. Overall, security selection in the underlying funds contributed to relative performance. The T. Rowe Price Blue Chip Growth Fund outperformed its style-specific benchmark and contributed the most to relative performance, followed by the John Hancock Capital Appreciation Fund and T. Rowe Price Equity Income Fund. Conversely, the John Hancock International Growth Fund and Oppenheimer International Growth Fund trailed their respective benchmarks and detracted from relative performance. Tactical decisions to overweight and underweight asset classes lifted relative returns. An underweight to real assets relative to global stocks added value. The inclusion of diversifying sectors that are not included in the benchmark detracted from relative returns. Specifically, exposure to real assets through the T. Rowe Price Real Assets Fund which invests in energy and commodity companies weighed on relative returns as crude oil prices slumped in 207 amid a continued global oversupply of oil. Performance comparison as of 6/30/7 (%) A, including sales charge 5.9 (issues before June 3, 2002) A, including sales charge 4. (issues on or after June 3, 2002) A, excluding sales charge 20.
