Dear shareholder,

Markets around the world experienced a meaningful rise in volatility in the last few weeks of thereporting period. Stocks declined as investors reacted to higher bond yields and the prospect ofrising inflation, even if that inflation was rising from historically low levels. While some in theasset management community believe the sell-off will be temporary, it’s likely that the era ofextremely low volatility is behind us for the time being.

Ultimately, the asset prices are underpinned by fundamentals, and those continue to appearsupportive. There was no shortage of good economic news to report as 2017 came to a close.Unemployment remained close to historic lows, consumer confidence rose, and the housingmarket continued to notch steady gains. One moderating factor was the U.S. Federal Reserve’ssteady tightening of monetary policy. While higher interest rates alone may not cause theeconomy to pull back, markets will be closely attuned to any sign of policymakers quickening thepace of interest-rate increases in the year ahead.

Your best resource in unpredictable markets is your financial advisor, who can help position yourportfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to meet your long-term objectives and to withstandthe inevitable turbulence that accompanies investing in any market cycle.

On behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investments, I’d like to take this opportunity to welcomenew shareholders and to thank existing shareholders for the continued trust you’ve placed in us.

Sincerely,

Andrew G. ArnottPresident and CEO,John Hancock InvestmentsHead of Wealth and Asset Management,United States and Europe

A note about risks

Growth stocks may be more sensitive to earnings expectations. Large company stocks could fall out of favor. The value of acompany’s equity securities is subject to changes in the company’s financial condition and overall market and economicconditions.Because the fund may focus on particular sectors of the economy, its performance may depend on theperformance of those sectors, and investments focused in one sector may fluctuate more widely than investments diversifiedacross sectors.Foreign investing has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability.Hedging,derivatives, and other strategic transactions may increase a fund’s volatility and could produce disproportionatelosses, potentially more than the fund’s principal investment. Please see the fund’s prospectus for additional risks.

Can you describe the market environment

during the six months ended

February 28, 2018?

Despite a sharp increase in volatility in the final

month of the period, the fund’s benchmark, the

S&P 500 Index, posted a robust gain. Several

factors played a role in the rally. First, economic growth continued to accelerate in both the United

States and the world as a whole,which provided a highly favorable backdrop for investor sentiment.

In addition, corporate profits came in above expectations throughout the second half of the year,

contributing to an improvement in earnings estimates for 2018.Not least, the markets were aided

by the passage of a sweeping tax reform plan in late 2017. The bill reduced the corporate tax rate to

21%,providing a further boost to the earnings outlook for the year ahead.

These developments,while generally positive for the stock market, also fueled concerns that the

U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) would have to take a more aggressive approach to raising interest rates.

This worry, together with the resulting increase in bond yields, led to a sharp downturn in stocks in

early February.However, losses moderated in the final weeks of the period, as concerns eased and

the market found support from investors seeking to capitalize on equity valuations that had become

more attractive following the sell-off.

How did the fund perform?

The fund outperformed its benchmark and its Morningstar peer group average during the period. It

also outpaced its benchmark and peers over the one-, three-, five-, and 10-year periods.Both stock

selection and sector allocations contributed to outperformance.

What aspects of the fund’s sector allocations helped and hurt relative performance?

The portfolio’s overweight position in the information technology sector made the largest

contribution to results.We maintained a significant weighting in technology, as we continued to

find attractive opportunities in

companies with innovative business

models and the ability to take advantage

of transformational change. In addition,

we favored companies with durable

business models that address large and

growing markets, including internet

search and advertising, electronic payment processing, and social connectivity.We also emphasized

companies that will benefit from secular demand for public cloud computing services.

The fund’s underweight positions in more defensive and/or interest-rate-sensitive sectors that

lagged—such as consumer staples, utilities, and real estate—was an additional positive.

Conversely, an underweight in the financials sector—which surged following the passage of

sweeping tax reform legislation by Congress—weighed on results. The substantial cut in corporate

taxes is expected to be especially positive for the financials sector,where many firms are subject to

high tax rates. In addition, an increase in longer-term U.S. Treasury yields boosted the outlook for

banks’ lending margins.

How did stock selection influence performance?

Stock selection added the most value in the consumer discretionary sector. Shares of Amazon.com,

Inc. rose after the company released a strong earnings report that handily beat both consensus

expectations and previous management guidance. The company’s results were impressive across

“Despite a sharp increase in

volatility in the final two

months of the period, the fund’s

the board,with improving profitability and accelerating revenue growth.We continue to hold the

stock on the belief that its pace of innovation is remarkable and that growth in the company’s cloud

computing unit,Amazon Web Services, remains in its early stages.

The industrials sector also proved to be an

area of strength for the fund. The Boeing

Company’s shares rose after it reported

better-than-expected earnings and raised its

full-year guidance.We believe Boeing

remains well positioned for several years of

healthy profits and free cash flow growth

due its robust backlog of orders and the

tailwind from the increase in global

air traffic.

Outside of these two sectors, notable contributors included the Chinese internet company Tencent

Holdings, Ltd.,Mastercard, Inc., and the cloud computing provider ServiceNow, Inc.

Alexion Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Facebook, Inc., and American Tower Corp.were the leading

individual detractors.

With a recent increase in volatility, how have you positioned the fund at period end?

The domestic equity market appears to be fully valued,but we don’t think that necessarily precludes

stocks from performing well for the remainder of 2018. It does, however,mean that a more

circumspect approach is appropriate at this point in the cycle. Interest rates and inflation have

started to behave a bit more like we expected,with moderate increases in both. Still,we don’t view

the Fed’s gradual and measured approach to raising rates as a headwind,but rather as

corroborating evidence that the global economy is in reasonably good shape.

While higher valuations have made the risk/reward profile of some stocks less favorable, there are

still interesting opportunities in secular growth companies with strong fundamentals.We continue

to have high conviction with regard to a number of fund holdings the information technology and

healthcare sectors,where the valuations of select companies do not appear too frothy given the

positive trajectories of the underlying businesses.On the other hand,we maintained a cautious

“The domestic equity market

stance toward structurally challenged industries like

retail, cyclical sectors such as industrials, and

defensive sectors like consumer staples.

More broadly speaking,we remained focused on

business fundamentals to uncover opportunities in

companies we think can outperform without the help

of tax reform or other policy actions.We continue to

believe our strategy of investing in all-season growth companies (those with experienced

management teams, leading market positions, and growth that is not heavily reliant on the overall

direction of the economy) should position the fund to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns over

full market cycles.

These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses ofinvesting in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in othermutual funds.

Understanding fund expenses

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs:

n Transaction costs, which include sales charges (loads) on purchases or redemptions (variesby share class), minimum account fee charge, etc.

n Ongoing operating expenses, including management fees, distribution and service fees(if applicable), and other fund expenses.

We are presenting only your ongoing operating expenses here.

Actual expenses/actual returns

The first line of each share class in the table on the following page is intended to provideinformation about the fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses, and is based on the fund’sactual return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on September 1, 2017, with the sameinvestment held until February 28, 2018.

Together with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the operatingexpenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value at February 28, 2018, by$1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid” for your share class from the table. Forexample, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating expenses should be calculatedas follows:

Example

[ My account value / $1,000.00 = 8.6 ] x $[ “expenses paid” ] = My actual

$8,600.00 from table expenses

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line of each share class in the table on the following page allows you to compare thefund’s ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example of thefund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each class’s actualexpense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses (which is not the fund’sactual return). It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on September 1, 2017, with the sameinvestment held until February 28, 2018. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find itshypothetical example and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember thatthese hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual endingaccount balance or expenses you paid for the period.

Remember, these examples do not include any transaction costs, therefore, these examples willnot help you to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction costswere included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectuses for details regardingtransaction costs.

Note 2 — Significant accounting policiesThe financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the UnitedStates of America (US GAAP),which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of thefinancial statements.Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fundqualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issuedhave been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accountingpolicies of the fund:

Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York StockExchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE notopening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may bedetermined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the fund’s Valuation Policies and Procedures.

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities held by the fund aretypically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. Inthe event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the lastavailable bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), arevalued at their respective NAVs each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based onforeign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from anotherexchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading asscheduled,or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value asdetermined in good faith by the fund’s Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. Thefrequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differsignificantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreignsecurities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer ormarket level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determinedand the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by thefund’s Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Board of Trustees. The fund uses fair value adjustmentfactors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that mayoccur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The fund uses a three-tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques tomeasure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2

includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs.Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similarsecurities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received fromindependent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securitiesvalued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the fund’sown assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market orissuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuingsecurities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities.Changes in valuationtechniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a tradedate plus one basis for daily NAV calculations.However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions arereported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned.Dividend income is recorded on the ex-date, except fordividends of foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income,net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Foreign taxes are provided for based onthe fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests.Gains and losses onsecurities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.

Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives cash collateral from theborrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund will invest its collateral in JHCT,anaffiliate of the fund,which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as aninvestment company. JHCT invests in short-term money market investments. The fund will receive the benefit of any gainsand bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.

The fund has the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then thelending agent is responsible and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral receivedfrom the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If thevalue of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfyingthe shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.

Although the risk of the loss of the securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lendingagent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expectedreturn if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. The fund receives compensation for lending its securitiesby retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers ofthe securities. Securities lending income received by the fund is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent.Netincome received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.

Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund are shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable uponreturn of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities.As of February 28,2018, the fund loaned common stocksvalued at $20,856,982 and received $21,281,648 of cash collateral.

Foreign investing. Assets, including investments and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into U.S.dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translatedinto U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currencyexchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) oninvestments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar,whichreduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities.Risks can resultfrom differences in economic and political conditions, regulations,market practices (including higher transaction costs),accounting standards and other factors.

Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income and/or capital gains or repatriation taxes imposed bycertain countries in which the fund invests. Taxes are accrued based upon investment income, realized gains or unrealizedappreciation.

Line of credit.The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, includingmeeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund’s custodianagreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repaythe custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest orsecurity entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and tothe maximum extent permitted by law.

The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank,N.A.as theadministrative agent that enables them to participate in a $750 million unsecured committed line of credit. Excludingcommitments designated for a certain fund and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up toan aggregate commitment amount of $500 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in theagreement.A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of theline of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on a combination of fixed and asset based allocations and isreflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. For the six months ended February 28,2018, the fund had noborrowings under the line of credit.Commitment fees for the six months ended February 28,2018,were $3,488.

Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fundare allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in anequitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund’s relative netassets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amountsare known.

Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund leveland allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class.Class-specific expenses, such as distributionand service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are charged daily at the class level based on the net assets ofeach class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with theapplicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that isdistributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

As of August 31,2017, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition,derecognition or disclosure. The fund’s federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for aperiod of three years.

Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, ifany, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends and capital gain distributions, if any,annually.

Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and inthe same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class.

Such distributions, on a tax basis, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations,which may differ from US GAAP.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments haveno impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any,will reverse in a subsequentperiod.Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals.

Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnificationsUnder the Trust’s organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out ofthe performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund.Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund entersinto contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund’s maximum exposure underthese arrangements is unknown,as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yetoccurred.
