A message to shareholders
Dear shareholder,
Global equities produced strong total returns during the 12 months ended April 30, 2023, but the positive final result belies the fact that the backdrop was quite unfavorable until mid-October. During this time, stocks declined steadily due to the open-ended nature of the interest-rate increases being enacted by the U.S. Federal Reserve and other global central banks. In addition to making bonds a more attractive option, higher rates weighed on the outlook for economic growth and corporate earnings.
The backdrop changed for the better in the latter half of the period amid mounting investor optimism regarding the interest rate outlook and the prospect of a soft landing for the world economy. In addition, corporate profits consistently came in ahead of expectations. These factors helped stocks rally back into positive territory despite headlines regarding a string of high-profile bank failures. The European markets led the way higher over the full year, while Canada, the United States, and the emerging markets were notable laggards.
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
Global Head of Retail,
Manulife Investment Management

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.

Management’s 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, 2023?
The U.S. market had positive returns for the period, outperforming emerging markets but underperforming developed 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 underperformed large-cap growth stocks and U.S. small-cap value underperformed small-cap growth.
Following a historic 2022 rally where the U.S. dollar appreciated against nearly every other major currency, 2023 has seen developed and emerging-market currencies rebound strongly. Those currency movements, ultimately resulting in the dollar weakening year-to-date, have had a positive impact on the U.S. dollar-denominated returns of international markets.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR DEVELOPED INTERNATIONAL ETF (JHMD)
On a NAV basis, the fund underperformed the MSCI EAFE Index, a cap-weighted benchmark used as a proxy for developed ex-U.S. stock markets. The fund’s emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations detracted from relative performance, as these stocks underperformed. Conversely, with low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the fund’s emphasis on value stocks contributed positively to relative performance. Additionally, on a country basis, the fund’s exposure to France detracted from relative performance while exposure to Switzerland contributed.
Compared with the MSCI EAFE Index, the fund emphasizes stocks with lower relative prices, smaller market capitalizations, and higher profitability. In absolute terms, the fund’s largest sector exposures were to industrials, financials, and consumer discretionary. The largest country exposures were to Japan and the United Kingdom. Changes were made to the fund as a result of regularly scheduled

reconstitutions during the period. Notable changes in composition included increased weights in Shell PLC and BP PLC and decreased weights in Iberdrola SA and Veolia Environnement SA. We sold the fund’s holdings in Veolia Environment prior to period end.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR EMERGING MARKETS ETF (JHEM)
On a NAV basis, the fund outperformed the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, a cap-weighted benchmark used as a proxy for emerging markets. With low relative price (value) stocks outperforming high relative price (growth) stocks, the fund’s emphasis on value stocks contributed positively to relative performance. The fund’s emphasis on stocks with higher profitability also contributed positively to relative performance, as these stocks outperformed for the period. Additionally, on a country basis, the fund’s underweight to Saudi Arabia contributed to relative performance, as the country underperformed over the period.
Compared with the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, the fund emphasizes stocks with lower relative prices, smaller market capitalizations, and higher profitability. In absolute terms, the fund’s largest sector exposures were to financials, information technology, and consumer discretionary. Changes were made to the fund as a result of regularly scheduled reconstitutions during the period. Notable changes in composition included increased weights in Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd. and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd. and decreased weights in JD.com, Inc. and Petroleo Brasileiro SA.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR LARGE CAP ETF (JHML)
On a NAV basis, the fund underperformed the Russell 1000 Index, a cap-weighted benchmark used as a proxy for the broad large-cap U.S. stock market. The fund’s greater emphasis on stocks with smaller market capitalizations detracted from relative performance, as mid caps underperformed large caps. Additionally, the fund’s emphasis on low relative price (value) stocks detracted from relative performance. Exposure to the consumer discretionary sector contributed to relative performance, which was partially offset by exposure to the information technology sector.
Compared with the Russell 1000 Index, the fund emphasizes stocks with lower relative prices, smaller market capitalizations, and higher profitability. In absolute terms, the fund’s largest sector exposures were to information technology, financials, and healthcare. Changes were made to the fund as a result of regularly scheduled reconstitutions during the period. Notable changes in composition included increased weights in Microsoft Corp. and NVIDIA Corp. and decreased weights in Tesla, Inc. and Amazon.com, Inc.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR MID CAP ETF (JHMM)
On a NAV basis, the fund outperformed the Russell Midcap Index, a cap-weighted benchmark used as a proxy for the broad mid-cap U.S. stock market. The fund’s emphasis on stocks with higher profitability and smaller market capitalizations contributed positively to relative performance, as these stocks outperformed. Exposure to the information technology sector contributed to relative performance while exposure to the financials sector detracted.
Compared with the Russell Midcap Index, the fund emphasizes stocks with lower relative prices, smaller market capitalizations, and higher profitability. In absolute terms, the fund’s largest sector exposures were to industrials, information technology, and financials. Changes were made to the fund as a result of regularly scheduled reconstitutions during the period. Notable changes in composition included increased weights in eBay, Inc. and D.R. Horton, Inc. and decreased weights in Republic Services, Inc. and Occidental Petroleum Corp. We sold the fund’s holdings in Republic Services and Occidental Petroleum prior to period end.
JOHN HANCOCK MULTIFACTOR SMALL CAP ETF (JHSC)
On a NAV basis, the fund outperformed the Russell 2000 Index, a cap-weighted benchmark used as a proxy for the broad small-cap U.S. stock market. The fund’s lesser exposure to micro caps (typically companies with under $250 million in assets under management) contributed positively to relative performance, as micro caps underperformed small caps for the period. The fund’s lesser exposure to stocks with the lowest profitability and highest relative prices also contributed positively to relative performance, as those stocks underperformed. Additionally, the fund’s overweight and exposure to the industrials sector contributed to relative performance.
Compared with the Russell 2000 Index, the fund emphasizes stocks with higher profitability. In absolute terms, the fund’s largest sector exposures were to industrials, financials, and information technology. Changes were made to the fund as a result of regularly scheduled reconstitutions during the period.

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 or 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 calculated as follows: (i) for the time periods starting October 3, 2022, the NYSE Arca’s Official Closing Price or, if it more accurately reflects market price at the time as of which NAV is calculated, the bid/ask midpoint as of that time and (ii) for time periods preceding October 3, 2022, 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.

2 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.
3 The Russell 2000 Index tracks the performance of approximately 2,000 publicly traded small-cap companies in the United States.

The chart and table above do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption or sale of fund shares.
It is not possible to invest directly in an index. Unlike an index, the fund’s total returns are reduced by operating expenses and management fees.
4 Listed holdings are a portion of the fund’s total and may change at any time. They are not recommendations to buy or sell any security. Data excludes cash and cash equivalents.
The expense ratios of the fund, both net (including any fee waivers and/or expense limitations) and gross (excluding any fee waivers and/or expense limitations), are set forth according to the most recent publicly available prospectus for the fund and may differ from those disclosed in the Financial highlights table in this report. Net expenses reflect contractual expense limitations in effect until August 31, 2023 and are subject to change. Had the contractual fee waivers and expense limitations not been in place, gross expenses would apply. The expense ratios are as follows:
Gross (%) 0.45
Net (%) 0.42
Please refer to the most recent prospectus and annual or semiannual report for more information on expenses and any expense limitation arrangements for the fund.

Your expenses
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, 2022, with the same investment held until April 30, 2023.
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, 2023, 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, 2022, with the same investment held until April 30, 2023. 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.
