  3. We are going to live with it for a while 1 • The level of stock market volatility in recent years is unprecedented • S&P 500 Index, 1950 through 2013 (trading days per year with greater than +/–2% returns) Lehman Brothers bankruptcy Enron, WorldCom bankruptcies European sovereign debt crisis begins September 11 terrorist attacks Black Monday stock market crash Unemployment hits 10% President Kennedy assassinated Tech bubble bursts President Nixon resigns Korean War begins Long-Term Capital Management collapses U.S. debt downgraded President Clinton impeached Oil crisis Warsaw Pact signed Soviets launch Sputnik Asian currency crisis Cuban missile crisis Iran hostage crisis Vietnam War escalates 2013 RECESSION 7/53–5/54 RECESSION 8/57–4/58 RECESSION 4/60–2/61 RECESSION 12/69–11/70 RECESSION 11/73–3/75 RECESSION 1/80–7/80 RECESSION 7/81–11/82 RECESSION 7/90–3/91 RECESSION 3/01–11/01 RECESSION 12/07–6/09 Source: FactSet, John Hancock Investments, as of 2013.

  5. 3 Cash is not the answer for long-term investors • How long does it take to recover from losses? Source: John Hancock Investments. For illustration purposes only.

  6. Half of the biggest market swings since 1950 occurred in the past 10 years • Investors face a choice: Double-down Try to rebuild account values through more aggressive strategies Retreat Preserve assets with ultraconservative— and low return—investments Invest smarter Take advantage of investments and strategies to pursue positive returns with less volatility Source: FactSet, as of 12/31/13. Since 1950, 23 of the top 50 daily gains and 27 of the top 50 daily losses in the S&P 500 Index occurred between 2004 and 2013.

  7. Consider alternatives to traditional markets • Alternatives have generated returns independent of traditional markets Growth of $100,000 (12/31/99 to 9/30/14) Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 9/30/14. The diversified alternatives portfolio is represented by an equal-weighted blend of all nine alternative categories shown in the above chart. Please see slides 15 and 16 for index and asset class definitions. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Diversification does ensure a profit or protect against a loss. Standard deviation measures performance fluctuation, may not be indicative of future risk, and is not a predictor of returns. Correlation is a statistical measure that describes how investments move in relation to each other, which ranges from –1.00 to 1.00. The closer the number is to 1.00 or –1.00, the more closely the two investments are related. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

  8. The benefits of being different • Many alternative assets and strategies have shown low correlation to stocks • Correlation Source: Morningstar Direct, as of 9/30/14.

  17. A word about risk Absolute return funds are not designed to outperform stocks and bonds in strong markets. They employ certain techniques intended to reduce risk and volatility and provide protection against a decline in assets. There is no guarantee that the fund will achieve its objectives. The use of hedging and derivatives may increase volatility and costs. The issuer or grantor of a security, or counterparty to a transaction, may be unable or unwilling to make principal, interest, or settlement payments. Currency transactions are affected by fluctuations in exchange rates, which may adversely affect the U.S. dollar value of a fund’s investments. Illiquid securities may be difficult to sell at a price approximating their value. Investments in higher-yielding, lower-rated securities include a higher risk of default. Absolute Return Currency Fund will use currency transactions to seek to achieve gains. However, losses could exceed the amount invested in the currency instruments. Technical Opportunities Fund may invest its assets in a small number of issuers. Performance could suffer significantly from adverse events affecting these issuers. A portfolio concentrated in one sector or that holds a limited number of securities may fluctuate more than a diversified portfolio. Frequent trading may increase fund transaction costs. Owning an ETF generally reflects the risks of owning the underlying securities it is designed to track. The fund may invest in IPOs, which are frequently volatile in price and may lead to increased portfolio turnover. The fund can invest up to 100% of its assets in cash, which may cause the fund to not meet its investment objective. Alternative Asset Allocation Fund’s performance depends on the advisor’s skill in determining the strategic asset class allocations, the mix of underlying funds, and the performance of those underlying funds. The underlying funds’ performance may be lower than the performance of the asset class they were selected to represent. The fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which it invests: Stocks and bonds can decline due to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, or economic developments; foreign investing, especially in emerging markets, has additional risks, such as currency and market volatility and political and social instability; the securities of small-capitalization companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies; and high-yield bonds are subject to additional risks, such as increased risk of default. Fixed-income investments are subject to interest-rate and credit risk; their value will normally decline as interest rates rise or if a creditor is unable or unwilling to make principal or interest payments.
