Volatility hit a high in its cycle
S&P 500 (VIX) Index: A popular measure of “investor fear” (2006–2012)
Source: Bloomberg. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX) is a popular measure of the volatility of S&P 500 Index options. A high value corresponds to a more volatile market and therefore more costly options, which can be used to defray risk from this volatility by selling options. Often referred to as the fear index, it represents one measure of the market’s expectation of volatility over the next 30-day period. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

What should investors remember?
When volatility is high, it’s hard to resist the temptation to get out of the markets.
Although cash and short-term investments seem safer, they may not keep pace with inflation in the long term.
Unless you can time it perfectly, you may also miss the gains when the market recovers.
The key is to be prepared for the “certainty of uncertainty”!
Every investment has risks, even cash
Although a money market fund may seeks to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in the fund. The value of a company’s equity securities is subject to change in the company’s financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions.

What should investors remember?
Judging the entire market by the performance of the S&P 500 Index is not diversifying.
Asset allocation and diversification are long-term strategies — they may appear not to work over short periods, but they do work long term.
Go deeper with diversification and include more asset classes, styles and managers.
Asset allocation is not dead, but it is misunderstood
Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit nor protect against a loss. The value of a company’s equity securities is subject to change in the company’s financial condition, and overall market and economic conditions. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if the creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability.

Understanding bond risks is more important than ever
Investors should consider diversifying among bonds with varying risk sensitivities
Interest-rate and credit sensitivity are provided by John Hancock Funds estimates and subject to change. Interest-rate sensitivity is the measure of how sensitive the value of fixed-income investment is to changes in interest rates. Generally the value of a fixed-income investment will decline as interest rates rise. Credit sensitivity measures the risk that the creditor will be unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Government bonds are represented by the Barclays U.S. Government Bond Index, an unmanaged index of U.S. Treasury and government agency bonds. Municipal bonds are represented by the Barclays Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged index representative of the tax-exempt bond market. Corporate bonds are represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. Corporate Master Index, which is composed of U.S. dollar-denominated investment-grade corporate public debt issued in the U.S. domestic bond market. High-yield bonds are represented by the Bank of America Merrill Lynch U.S. High Yield Master II Index, which is composed of U.S. currency high-yield bonds issued by U.S. and non-U.S. issuers. Bank loans are represented by the Credit Suisse (CS) Leveraged Loan Index, which tracks returns in the leveraged loan market. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This chart does not illustrate the performance of any John Hancock fund. Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit nor protect against a loss.

What should investors remember?
Holding bonds in your portfolio may provide the income you need with less volatility than stocks.
Different types of bonds perform well in different economic environments.
Bond funds should be diversified too.
Not all bonds — or bond funds — are created equal
Fixed-income investments are subject to interest rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if the creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities involve additional risks as these securities include a higher risk of default and loss of principal. Asset allocation and diversification do not guarantee a profit nor protect against a loss.

What should investors remember?
Foreign companies offer some of the best opportunities for growth.
Diversifying with foreign companies may actually improve returns while also reducing overall portfolio volatility.
Investing abroad shouldn’t be a foreign experience
Foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability.

Twelve fundamental truths of investing
Source: Horsesmouth LLC.
1 Over the long term, stocks have had greater total returns than bonds.
2 Over the long term, bonds have had greater total returns than money market funds.
3 On average, stocks are much riskier than bonds.
4 On average, bonds are much riskier than money market funds.
5 You will make investments that go down immediately after you buy.
6 You will sell investments that continue to go up after you are out.
7 You will hold some investments too long.
8 The value of opportunities missed will dramatically exceed those in which you participate.
9 Someone, or some group of people, will always do better than you.
10 You don’t pay a financial advisor for information ― you are paying for knowledge, wisdom and personal guidance.
11 Accept uncertainty. No one knows where the market will be next week, next month or next year.
12 Money can only be made in the future ― it’s impossible to invest in past returns.
