A
message to shareholders
Dear
shareholder,
Although
global equities performed quite well through mid-November, the major world
indexes nonetheless finished the 12 months ended April 30, 2022, in negative
territory. The initial gains reflected the backdrop of steady economic growth,
robust corporate earnings, and supportive central bank policy that was in place
throughout most of 2021. The picture changed in late November, however, as
rising inflation prompted the U.S. Federal Reserve and other central banks to
announce plans to tighten monetary policy. The conflict between Russia and
Ukraine in February 2022 further weighed on sentiment by fueling fears that
inflation could accelerate even more quickly than expected.
While
stocks experienced a relief rally in the second half of March, the leading
indexes gave back all of the gains in April and ultimately finished the month at
or near their lows for the period. Growth stocks were especially poor
performers, while the value style held up better due in part to the heavy
representation of commodity-related companies in the category. Emerging-market
equities were a notable laggard at the regional level, while the United States
and Canada outperformed.
In
these uncertain times, your financial professional can assist with positioning
your portfolio so that it’s sufficiently diversified to help meet your long-term
objectives and to withstand the inevitable bouts of market volatility along the
way.
On
behalf of everyone at John Hancock Investment Management, I’d like to take this
opportunity to welcome new shareholders and thank existing shareholders for the
continued trust you’ve placed in us.
Sincerely,
Andrew
G. Arnott
President and CEO,
John
Hancock Investment Management
Head of Wealth and Asset Management,

States and Europe
This
commentary reflects the CEO’s views as of this report’s period end and are
subject to change at any time. Diversification does not guarantee investment
returns and does not eliminate risk of loss. All investments entail risks,
including the possible loss of principal. For more up-to-date information, you

Multifactor
exchange-traded funds (ETFs) at a glance
Many
traditional indexes and index funds are weighted by market capitalization, a
bias that can expose investors to certain risks and potentially reduce returns.
Strategic beta strategies such as John Hancock Multifactor ETFs offer a
different approach. Each ETF seeks to improve on cap-weighted strategies by
tracking an index that combines active management insight with the discipline of
a rules based approach.
STRATEGIC
BETA1:
STRIKING A BALANCE BETWEEN ACTIVE AND PASSIVE INVESTING
PHILOSOPHY
BACKING INDEX DESIGN
According
to Dimensional Fund Advisors, subadvisor for all John Hancock Multifactor ETFs,
there are four key factors that drive higher expected returns, and these factors
guide Dimensional’s index construction and semiannual reconstitution.
Market
Equity
premium—stocks over bonds
Company
size
Small-cap
premium—small company stocks over large company stocks
Relative
price2
Value
premium—value stocks over growth stocks
Profitability3
Profitability
premium—stocks of highly profitable companies over stocks of less profitable
companies
To
be considered a true factor, a premium must be sensible, persistent across time
periods, pervasive across markets, robust in data, and cost effective.
WHY
MULTIFACTOR?
Individual
factors can be volatile: there’s no telling which will be the best performing
from year to year. Adopting a multifactor approach is one way investors can
pursue more consistent—and more attractive—risk-adjusted returns.
1 Strategic beta (also known as
smart beta) defines a set of investment strategies that seek to improve on
traditional market-capitalization weighted indexes in order to lower risk and
achieve better diversification.
2 Relative price as measured by
the price-to-book ratio; value stocks are those with lower price-to-book
ratios.
3 Profitability is a measure of
current profitability, based on information from individual companies’ income
statements.

Discussion
of fund performance
Could
you tell us about your investment philosophy and how it drives the composition
of the ETFs you manage?
We’ve identified
four characteristics, or dimensions, of expected returns that academic research
has shown to account for most of the variation in historical asset returns and
that we believe will account for most of the variation in future returns. These
dimensions are the overall market, company size, relative price, and
profitability.
The
overall market dimension reflects the excess return over the risk-free rate,
which is typically measured by short-term U.S. Treasury bills, that market
participants demand for investing in a broadly diversified portfolio of equity
securities without any style or market capitalization bias. That premium is
called the equity premium.
The
company size dimension reflects the excess return that investors demand for
investing in small-capitalization stocks relative to large-capitalization
stocks. The premium associated with this dimension is the small-cap, or size,
premium.
The
relative price dimension reflects the excess return that investors expect from
investing in low relative price, or value, stocks—as measured, for instance, by
their price-to-book ratios—in comparison with high relative price, or growth,
stocks. The premium associated with this dimension is the value premium.
Finally,
the profitability dimension provides a way to discern differences in expected
returns of companies with similar price-driven characteristics. Our research
shows that if two companies trade at the same relative price, the one with
higher profitability should have a higher expected return over time. The premium
associated with this dimension is called the profitability premium.
Relative
to a cap-weighted measure of the market, we believe that incorporating the four
dimensions of expected returns—market, company size, relative price, and
profitability—into a single investment strategy offers the potential for
outperformance over time, and an ETF is a vehicle well suited to our systematic
and transparent investment approach. The indexes developed for John Hancock
Multifactor ETFs are designed to capture these dimensions over time, and the
funds are, in turn, designed to track their respective indexes.
Theoretical
and empirical research suggests that investors can systematically pursue higher
expected returns by targeting the size, relative price, and profitability
dimensions in equity markets. We integrate these dimensions to emphasize stocks
with smaller market capitalizations, lower relative prices, and higher
profitability.
What
drives changes to the composition of the funds?
Changes
are made to the funds as a result of regularly scheduled reconstitutions, a
semiannual process by which the list of stocks and their weights in each index
are updated, as well as any unscheduled changes to the index driven by company
events. Reconstitution ensures that the indexes that the funds track maintain
their intended exposure to the dimensions of expected returns. In addition, we
impose a maximum issuer cap in each index at the time of reconstitution to
control stock-specific risk.
How
did the broad equity market perform during the 12 months ended April 30,
2022?
The
U.S. market had mixed returns for the period but outperformed both developed and
emerging markets. Along the market capitalization dimension, U.S. small caps
underperformed large caps, while mid caps outperformed small caps and
underperformed large caps. Along the relative price dimension, U.S. large-cap
value stocks outperformed large-cap growth stocks and U.S. small-cap value
outperformed small-cap growth. Along the profitability dimension, stocks with
higher profitability outperformed stocks with lower profitability among both
large and small caps.
Most
developed and emerging-market currencies depreciated relative to the U.S.
dollar, and currency movements had a negative impact on the U.S.
dollar-denominated returns of the respective markets.
JOHN

On
a NAV basis, the fund outperformed the Russell 1000 Consumer Discretionary

stocks outperformed. The fund’s focus on the consumer discretionary sector also
contributed positively to relative performance as stocks held by the index
outside of the consumer discretionary sector underperformed.

with its benchmark, the fund emphasizes stocks with lower relative prices,
smaller market capitalizations, and higher profitability. In absolute terms, the
fund’s largest industry exposures were to specialty retail, and hotels,

Notes
about risk
Each
fund is subject to various risks as described in the fund’s prospectus.
Political tensions and armed conflicts, including the Russian invasion of
Ukraine, and any resulting economic sanctions on entities and/or individuals of
a particular country could lead such a country into an economic recession. The
COVID-19 disease has resulted in significant disruptions to global business
activity. A widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause
substantial market volatility, exchange-trading suspensions, and closures, which
may lead to less liquidity in certain instruments, industries, sectors, or the
markets, generally, and may ultimately affect fund performance. For more
information, please refer to the “Principal risk” section of the prospectus.
Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to change and risk. Investing
involves risk, including the potential loss of principal. There is no guarantee
that a fund’s investment strategy will be successful and there can be no
assurance that active trading markets for shares will develop of be maintained
by market makers or authorized participants.
A
note about the performance shown on the following pages
Net
asset value (NAV) performance is based on the NAV calculated each business day.
It is calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing investment
company shares as of the close of regular trading hours on the NYSE (see Note 2
to financial statements). Market price is determined using the bid/ask midpoint
at 4 p.m., Eastern time, when the NAV is typically calculated. Your returns may
differ if you traded shares at other times during the day.
The
past performance shown here reflects reinvested distributions and the beneficial
effect of any expense reductions, and does not guarantee future results. Returns
for periods shorter than one year are cumulative. Shares will fluctuate in value
and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current
performance may be lower or higher than the performance cited. For the most
recent month-end performance, visit jhinvestments.com/etf.
The
views expressed in this report are exclusively those of the portfolio management
team at Dimensional Fund Advisors and are subject to change. They are not meant
as investment advice. Please note that the holdings discussed in this report may
not have been held by the fund for the entire period. Portfolio composition is
subject to review in accordance with the fund’s investment strategy and may vary
in the future. Current and future portfolio holdings are subject to risk. A
price-to-book ratio is calculated by dividing the market price of a stock by its
book value per share. A price-to-earnings ratio is calculated by dividing the
market price of a stock by its earnings per share. Actual performance data
provided for any MSCI IMI indexes in the market performance commentary are net
dividends.

The
John Hancock Dimensional Consumer Discretionary Index is a rules-based
index of U.S. consumer discretionary stocks that have been selected based
on sources of expected returns. Securities eligible for inclusion in the
index are classified according to their market capitalization, as defined
by free-float market cap; relative price, as defined by price/book; and
profitability, as defined by operating income over book, and are weighted
accordingly in favor of smaller, less expensive, more profitable
companies. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a semiannual
basis. Index performance assumes reinvestment of dividends and, unless
otherwise indicated, does not reflect the management fees, operating
expenses, transaction costs, and other expenses that apply to an ETF.

The
Russell 1000 Consumer Discretionary Index comprises securities of the
Russell 1000 Index classified in the consumer discretionary sector.
Effective 9-21-20, the underlying components of the Russell 1000 Consumer
Discretionary Index reflect a new company classification methodology.
Consequently, the custom blended benchmark’s performance consists of 100%
of the prior methodology through 9-18-20 and 100% of the current
methodology thereafter. |

The
John Hancock Dimensional Consumer Staples Index is a rules-based index of
U.S. consumer staples stocks that have been selected based on sources of
expected returns. Securities eligible for inclusion in the index are
classified according to their market capitalization, as defined by
free-float market cap; relative price, as defined by price/book; and
profitability, as defined by operating income over book, and are weighted
accordingly in favor of smaller, less expensive, more profitable
companies. The index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a semiannual
basis. Index performance assumes reinvestment of dividends and, unless
otherwise indicated, does not reflect the management fees, operating
expenses, transaction costs, and other expenses that apply to an ETF.

methodology through 9-18-20 and 100% of the current methodology
thereafter. |

defined by operating income over book, and are weighted accordingly in
favor of smaller, less expensive, more profitable companies. The index is

assumes reinvestment of dividends and, unless otherwise indicated, does
not reflect the management fees, operating expenses, transaction costs,

The
John Hancock Dimensional Small Cap Index is a rules-based index of
small-cap U.S. stocks that have been selected based on sources of expected
returns. Securities eligible for inclusion in the index are classified
according to their market capitalization, as defined by free-float market
cap; relative price, as defined by price/book; and profitability, as
defined by operating income over book, and are weighted accordingly in
favor of smaller, less expensive, more profitable companies. The index is
reconstituted and rebalanced on a semiannual basis. Index performance
assumes reinvestment of dividends and, unless otherwise indicated, does
not reflect the management fees, operating expenses, transaction costs,
and other expenses that apply to an ETF. |

HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR ETFS | ANNUAL REPORT |

These
examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing operating expenses of
investing in the fund so you can compare these costs with the ongoing costs of
investing in other funds.
Understanding
fund expenses
As
a shareholder of a fund, you incur two types of costs:
■Transaction
costs, which may include
creation and redemption fees and brokerage charges.
■Ongoing operating
expenses, including
management fees, and other fund expenses.
We
are presenting only your ongoing operating expenses here.
Actual
expenses/actual returns
The
first line of each fund in the following table is intended to provide
information about a fund’s actual ongoing operating expenses, and is based on
the fund’s actual NAV return. It assumes an account value of $1,000.00 on
November 1, 2021, with the same investment held until April 30, 2022.
Together
with the value of your account, you may use this information to estimate the
operating expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account
value at April 30, 2022, by $1,000.00, then multiply it by the “expenses paid”
from the table. For example, for an account value of $8,600.00, the operating
expenses should be calculated as follows:
Hypothetical
example for comparison purposes
The
second line of each fund in the following table allows you to compare a fund’s
ongoing operating expenses with those of any other fund. It provides an example
of the fund’s hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the
fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed 5% annualized return before expenses
(which is not the fund’s actual return). It assumes an account value of
$1,000.00 on November 1, 2021, with the same investment held until April 30,
2022. Look in any other fund shareholder report to find its hypothetical example
and you will be able to compare these expenses. Please remember that these
hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual
ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period.
Remember,
these examples do not include any transaction costs. A fund charges a
transaction fee per creation unit to those creating or redeeming creation units,
and those buying or selling shares in the secondary market will incur customary
brokerage commissions and charges. Therefore, these examples will not help you
to determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. If transaction
costs were included, your expenses would have been higher. See the prospectus
for details regarding transaction costs.
