C000082348 Investment Objective and Strategy

Emerging Markets Debt Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by John Hancock Funds II.

Investment objective

To seek total return with an emphasis on current income as well as capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

Under normal market conditions, the fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in fixed-income securities and debt instruments of emerging-market issuers. The manager may consider, but is not limited to, the classifications by the World Bank, the International Finance Corporation, or the United Nations and its agencies in determining whether a country is an emerging or a developed country. Examples of emerging-market countries include most African, Central Asian, Eastern European, and South and Central American nations. The manager uses proprietary research to identify specific countries, corporate sectors, and issuers that are attractively priced. The manager's investment decisions are not constrained by market capitalization, company fundamentals, security valuation or seasoning, or similar characteristics.

The manager uses economic and industry analysis to try to anticipate shifts in the business cycle. Due to potentially volatile conditions in emerging markets, the fund's portfolio turnover ratio may be higher-than-average, which could increase transaction costs. The fund may invest in debt securities of any maturity denominated in any currency, including but not limited to: debt issued by governments or government agencies, including the U.S. Treasury; U.S. and foreign corporate-debt instruments; mortgage- and asset-backed securities and collateralized mortgage obligations; and variable and floating-rate senior and subordinated corporate-debt obligations. The fund may invest in countries that do not have sovereign bond ratings or whose bonds are rated below-investment-grade (junk bonds). The fund may invest in corporate or other privately issued debt instruments of issuers with market capitalizations below $1 billion.

The fund may attempt to mitigate the risk of unexpected, adverse currency fluctuations through the use of exchange-listed or over-the-counter financial derivatives instruments, including currency forwards, nondeliverable forwards, currency options, interest-rate swaps, interest-rate futures, interest-rate options, index options, and credit default swaps. The fund is non-diversified and may both invest in a smaller number of issuers and invest more of its assets in the securities of a single issuer than a diversified fund.
