How to read the
Investment Comparative Chart
This document aims to help you understand the terms and information found in the Investment Comparative Chart.
The Investment Comparative Chart provides you with important investment information, including applicable
fees, about the investment options available to you under your retirement plan’s group annuity contract with
John Hancock. The information is provided in an easy to read format, allowing you to make comparisons of your
investment options against a relevant broad-based index.
Note: The sample used is for illustrative purposes only and may not reflect all the investment options or all the
applicable sections of the Investment Comparative Chart specific to your plan.
1
Variable Return Investments are investment options that have returns that vary
according to the performance of each option’s underlying investments. These
underlying investments could be comprised of stocks, bonds and/or money market
instruments. More information about each investment option, such as objectives and
risks, can be obtained by going to the Fund’s corresponding URL, which can be found
under the Fund name.
2 The Average Annual Total Return represents
annualized historical returns and can be used to
evaluate and compare the historical performance
of the investment options available under your
plan. The annualized average return information
is displayed annually for the relevant time periods,
ending on the date of the most recently completed
calendar year.
3 The Benchmark Return represents the average
annual total return of the broad-based market index
that is applicable to an investment option. This
information is displayed annually for the relevant
time periods, ending on the date of the most
recently completed calendar year.
4 Equity Funds – the underlying funds of these

investment options invest in equities, more
commonly known as stocks. Equity Funds are often
categorized by market capitalization (e.g. small-cap,
mid-cap, large-cap), investment style (e.g. growth,
value, blend) and geographical concentration that
may include a focus on international, global or
country/region specific investments.
5 Bond Funds – the underlying funds of these
investment options invest primarily in bonds and
other debt instruments. The exact type of debt
the underlying fund invests in will depend on its
focus, but investments may include government,
corporate, municipal and convertible bonds, along
with other debt securities.
6 Other Funds include investment options that are
not exclusively categorized under the Equity or Bond
Fund sections of the Investment Comparative Chart;
they include investment options that span both
types, such as balanced funds or asset allocation
portfolios. This section also includes investment
options that belong to specific categories, such as
sector and index funds.

Fixed Return Investments are investment options
that provide a fixed or stated rate of return for a
stated duration.
8
Guaranteed interest account (GIA) is a type of
fixed return investment that accumulates interest
for the duration of the specified term.
9
Term refers to the number of years until the GIA
matures.
J
The Risk Categories column provides information
about the general level of risk that may be
associated with each investment option.
K
The Total Annual Operating Expenses, also
commonly referred to as the Fund’s “Expense
Ratio” is a measure of what it costs to operate
an investment option. It includes such expenses
as John Hancock’s administrative maintenance
charge (AMC), sales and service fee, and the
expenses of the underlying mutual fund. The
operating expenses of each investment option
are expressed as a percentage of its assets and
as a dollar amount per every $1000 invested.
Total fees payable depend on the dollar amount
you have invested in each Fund and are reflected
through a reduction in the Fund’s rate of return.
L
The Shareholder-type Fees column lists any
additional fees that may be charged directly your
investment and which are not already included
the Total Annual Operating Expenses of the
investment option (e.g. redemption fees).

This document includes important information to help you compare the investment options available under your retirement plan. If you would
like to receive additional investment-related information on any of the investment options listed below, including more current performance
information, go to the Fund's corresponding website address (shown below) or to www.jhpensions.com. To obtain more information, or to receive

DOCUMENT SUMMARY
This document is divided into two parts. Part I consists of performance information for your retirement plan investment options and
illustrates how the investments have performed in the past. Part II outlines the fees and expenses applicable to each investment option.
PART I Performance Information
The table below focuses on the performance of investment options that do not have a fixed or stated rate of return. The table shows how these options have performed
over time and allows you to compare them with an appropriate benchmark for the same time periods. Past performance does not guarantee how the investment option
will perform in the future. Your investment in these options could lose money. Information about each option's principal risks is available by accessing the website
address associated with each Fund, as listed below.
The performance data presented represents past performance and current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. An investment in a
subaccount will fluctuate in value to reflect the value of the sub-account's underlying securities and, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than original cost. For
month-end performance, participants please call 1-800-395-1113 or visit www.jhpensions.com.
The Average Annual Total Returns of the investment options available under your qualified plan represent the returns earned for the stated periods and are calculated
after accounting for the Total Annual Operating Expenses, as shown in Part II of this document. Performance does not reflect any applicable contract-level or certain
participant-level charges, or any redemption fees imposed by an underlying mutual fund company. These charges, if included, would otherwise reduce the total return
for a participant's account. Benchmark returns are shown for comparative purposes only. Benchmark returns represent the performance of market indices, which cannot
be invested in directly. These returns are calculated without taking into account any investment fees and/or expenses. Hypothetical returns are shown in bold.

Money Market Fund current 7-day yield is -0.17�. The current yield quotation more closely reflects the current earnings of the Money Market Fund as of the date this report was
prepared while the Annualized returns above refer to a specific past holding period reflecting the period covered by this report. Although the fund strives to maintain a positive yield,
there is no guarantee the fund will be able to do so. An investment in the underlying Money Market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
or any other government agency. The underlying fund seeks to preserve a value of �1.00 per share but it is possible to lose money by investing in the Money Market Fund that

At the end of each reporting year, a "composite interest
rate" is determined. The composite interest rate is a
dollar-weighted average rate of all contributions to that
Guaranteed Interest Account during that reporting year. A
separate composite interest rate is calculated for each GIA
term and each reporting year, if applicable. For example,
separate composite interest rates would be calculated for
deposits made to the 3-year and 10-year GIAs. Further,
separate composite interest rates would be calculated for
the 3-year GIAs from one reporting year to another. The
GIA balance will continue to earn that reporting year's
composite interest rate until the end of the guaranteed term.
Participants with assets in a Guaranteed Interest Account
can obtain more information on the composite interest rate
that applies to their account by calling Participant Services
at 1-800-395-1113 or viewing their most current Participant
Statement.

PART II Fee and Expense Information
This section shows fee and expense information for the investment options listed above. Below you will find the Total Annual Operating Expenses and Shareholder-type
Fees (if applicable) as they relate to each investment option. Total Annual Operating Expenses are expenses that reduce the rate of return of the investment option. It is
important to understand that the investment rate of return, as set out in the Performance Information section, is calculated net of the Total Annual Operating Expenses
of the investment option. However, such returns do not take into account any applicable Shareholder-type fees, which are in addition to the Total Annual Operating
Expenses of the investment option.
The cumulative effect of fees and expenses can substantially reduce the growth of your retirement savings. Visit the Department of Labor's website for an example
showing the long-term effect of fees and expenses at www.dol.gov/ebsa/publications/401k_employee.html. Fees and expenses are only one of many factors to consider
when you decide to invest in an option. You may also want to think about whether an investment in a particular option, along with your other investments, will help you
achieve your financial goals.

value) under the terms of your plan's contract with John
Hancock. Some conditions apply, including limitations
as to permitted transfer dates, noted on your quarterly
statement, if applicable. Transfers that are initiated on
dates other than those specified in the contract may be
subject to a market value adjustment. Similarly, withdrawals
taken from Guaranteed Interest Accounts prior to the end
of the guarantee period, may be subject to a market value
adjustment. Book value transfers are subject to an annual
20� book value transfer limit for each Guaranteed Interest
Account balance. Transfers in excess of this limit are made
at the lesser of book and market value.

IMPORTANT NOTES
*
Your company's qualified retirement plan offers participants the opportunity to
contribute to investment options available under a group annuity contract with John
Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.) (John Hancock USA). These investment
options may be sub-accounts (pooled funds) investing directly in underlying mutual
funds, or they may be Guaranteed Interest Accounts.
The placement of investment options within style boxes and according to potential risk/
return shows John Hancock USA's assessment of those options relative to one another
and should not be used to compare these investment options with other investment
options available outside John Hancock USA.

Index Performance: Index performance shown is for a broad-based securities market
index. Indices are unmanaged and cannot be invested in directly. Index returns were
prepared using Morningstar, Inc. software and data. The performance of an Index does
not include any portfolio or insurance-related charges. If these charges were reflected,
performance would be lower. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results.

For internally-managed Funds advised and sub-advised exclusively by John Hancock
USA's affiliates, the total fees John Hancock USA and its affiliates receive from these

mutual fund companies. These fees can come from the Fund or trust's Rule 12b-1,
sub-transfer agency, management, AMC or other fees, and may vary from Fund
to Fund. Except for certain asset allocation portfolios (i.e., the Lifecycle Portfolios,
Lifestyle Portfolios, Core Portfolios and the Guaranteed Income Feature Portfolios),
John Hancock USA uses the revenue received from 12b-1, sub-transfer agency, and
management fees to determine the AMC for that Fund, such that the sum of 12b-1,
sub transfer agency, management fees and AMC received by John Hancock USA equals
0.50�.

Risks Applicable to All Funds
Page 11 of 14
Credit and Counterparty Risk
A fund is subject to the risk that the issuer or guarantor of a fixed-income security or
other obligation, the counterparty to a derivatives contract or repurchase agreement, or
the borrower of a fund's securities will be unable or unwilling to make timely principal,
interest, or settlement payments, or otherwise to honor its obligations.
Issuer Risk
An issuer of a security purchased by a fund may perform poorly, and, therefore,
the value of its stocks and bonds may decline. Poor performance may be caused by
poor management decisions, competitive pressures, breakthroughs in technology,
reliance on suppliers, labor problems or shortages, corporate restructurings, fraudulent
disclosures, or other factors.
Liquidity Risk
A fund is exposed to liquidity risk when trading volume, lack of a market maker,
or legal restrictions impair the fund's ability to sell particular securities or close
derivative positions at an advantageous price. Funds with investment strategies that
involve securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations, foreign securities,
derivatives, or securities with substantial market and/or credit risk tend to have the
greatest exposure to liquidity risk.
Funds that invest directly in foreign currencies and in securities that trade in, or receive
revenues in, foreign currencies are subject to the risk that those currencies will decline
in value relative to the currency being hedged.
Derivatives Risk
A fund's use of certain derivative instruments (such as options, futures and swaps)
could produce disproportionate gains or losses. Derivatives are generally considered
more risky than direct investments and, in a down market, could become harder to
value or sell at a fair price.
Equity Securities Risk
Stock markets are volatile, and the price of equity securities such as common and
preferred stocks (and their equivalents) will fluctuate. The value of equity securities
purchased by the fund could decline if the financial condition of the companies in
which the fund invests decline or if overall market and economic conditions deteriorate.
Exchange Traded Funds (�ETF�s) Risk
Exchange Traded Funds are a type of investment company bought and sold on a
securities exchange. An ETF often represents a fixed portfolio of securities designed to
track a particular market index. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of
owning the underlying securities the ETF is designed to track.
Manager Risk
Fixed-Income Securities Risk
The performance of a fund that is actively managed will reflect in part the ability of
the manager to make investment decisions that are suited to achieving the fund's
investment objective. Depending on the manager's investment decisions, a fund may
not reach its investment objective or it could underperform its peers or lose money.
Fixed-income securities or bonds are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. The
credit rating of bonds in the fund could be downgraded or the issuer of a bond could
default on its obligations. In general, lower-rated fixed-income securities involve more
credit risk. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall.
Market Risk
Foreign Securities Risk
The value of a fund's securities may go down in response to overall stock or bond
market movements. Markets tend to move in cycles, with periods of rising prices and
periods of falling prices. Stocks tend to go up and down in value more than bonds. If
the fund's investments are concentrated in certain sectors, its performance could be
worse than the overall market.
Foreign securities involve special risks, including potentially unfavorable currency
exchange rates, limited government regulation (including less stringent investor
protection and disclosure standards) and exposure to possible economic, political
and social instability. To the extent the fund invests in emerging market countries, it's
foreign securities risk will be higher.
Merger and Replacement Transition Risk
Fund of Funds Risk
In the case of Fund mergers and replacements, the affected Funds that are being
merged or replaced may implement the redemption of your interest by payment in cash
or by distributing assets in kind. In either case, the redemption of your interest by the
affected Fund, as well as the investment of the redemption proceeds by the "new"
Fund, may result in transaction costs to the Funds because the affected Funds may find
it necessary to sell securities and the "new" Funds will find it necessary to invest the
redemption proceeds. Also, the redemption and reinvestment processes, including any
transition period that may be involved in completing such mergers and replacements,
could be subject to market gains or losses, including those from currency exchange
rates. The transaction costs and potential market gains or losses could have an impact
on the value of your investment in the affected Fund and in the "new" Fund, and
such market gains or losses could also have an impact on the value of any existing
investment that you or other investors may have in the "new" Fund. Although there
can be no assurances that all risks can be eliminated, John Hancock will use its best
efforts to manage and minimize such risks and costs.
A fund of funds invests in a number of underlying funds. A fund of fund's ability to
achieve its investment objective will depend largely on the ability of its investment
manager to select the appropriate mix of underlying funds and on the underlying funds
ability to meet their investment objectives. A fund of funds is subject to the same risks
as the underlying funds in which it invests. Each fund of funds bears its own expenses
and indirectly bears its proportionate share of expenses of the underlying funds in
which it invests.
Where the redemption of your interest is implemented through a distribution of assets
in kind, the effective date of the merger or replacement may vary from the target date
due to the transition period, commencing either before or after the target date, that is
required to liquidate or transition the assets for investment in the "new" Fund.
Fixed-income securities that are not investment grade are commonly referred to as high
yield securities or "junk bonds." These securities offer a potentially higher yield than
other, higher rated securities, but they carry a greater degree of risk and are considered
speculative by the major credit rating agencies
Additional Risks Applicable to Certain Funds
Index Management Risk
Asset Risk
The fund may invest in asset-backed securities. Asset-backed securities include interests
in pools of residential or commercial mortgages, debt securities, commercial or
consumer loans, or other receivables. Often, the issuer of asset-backed securities is a
special purpose entity and the investor's recourse is limited to the assets comprising
the pool. The value of such securities depends on many factors, including, but not
limited to, changes in interest rates, the structure of the pool and the priority of
the securities within that structure, the credit quality of the underlying assets, the
skill of the pool's servicer, the market's perception of the pool's servicer, and credit
enhancement features (if any).
Commodity Risk
Commodity investments involve the risk of volatile market price fluctuations of
commodities resulting from fluctuating demand, supply disruption, speculation and
other factors.
Currency Risk
Investment Options as of Aug/14/2012
Growth Stock Risk
Because growth securities typically do not make dividend payments to shareholders,
investment returns are based on capital appreciation, making returns dependent on
market increases and decreases. The market prices of growth stocks are highly sensitive
to future earnings expectations. Growth stocks may therefore be more volatile than
non-growth stocks.
High Yield Securities Risk
Certain factors may cause the fund to track its Index less closely. For example, the
manager may select securities that are not fully representative of the Index, and the
fund's transaction expenses, and the size and timing of its cash flows, may result in the
fund's performance being different than that of its Index.
Initial Public Offerings (�IPO�) Risk
The fund is subject to the risks associated with purchases of shares issued in IPOs by
companies that have little operating history as public companies. The market for IPO
issuers has been volatile and share prices of certain newly-public companies have
fluctuated in significant amounts over short periods of time.
Interest Rate Risk
Fixed-income securities are affected by changes in interest rates. When interest rates
decline, the market value of fixed-income securities generally will increase. Conversely,
when interest rates rise, the market value of fixed-income securities will generally
decrease. The longer the remaining maturity of instruments held by the fund, the more
sensitive the fund is to interest rate risk.
Page 12 of 14
Large Cap Risk
Risks Relating to John Hancock
The fund's strategy of investing in large cap stocks carries the risk that in certain
markets large cap stocks will underperform small cap or mid cap stocks.
The fund invests in a separate account of John Hancock Life &amp; Health Insurance
Company (JHLH). The fund's right to receive payments for the benefit of, and its ability
to distribute payments to, plan participants depends on the timely liquidation of
separate account assets. While an insolvency of JHLH should not diminish the assets
of the Separate Account, it could delay the timing of payments to plan participants.
Because the fund invests in the separate account, the value of the fund and its
ability to honor withdrawal requests from plan participants depends, in part, on the
performance of JHLH.
Leverage Risk
The fund may engage in transactions, including the use of synthetic instruments and
derivatives, which may give rise to a form of leverage. Leverage may cause the fund
to be more volatile than if the fund had not been leveraged because leverage can
exaggerate the effect of any increase or decrease in the value of securities held by the
fund.
Lifestyle Portfolio Risk
A Lifestyle Portfolio ("Fund") is a "fund of funds" which invests in a number of
underlying funds. The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective will depend
largely on the ability of the subadviser to select the appropriate mix of underlying
funds and on the underlying funds' ability to meet their investment objectives. There
can be no assurance that either a Fund or the underlying funds will achieve their
investment objectives. A Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in
which it invests, which include the following risks. Stocks can decline due to market,
regulatory or economic developments. Investing in foreign securities is subject to
certain risks not associated with domestic investing such as currency fluctuations and
changes in political and economic conditions. The securities of small capitalization
companies are subject to higher volatility than larger, more established companies.
High Yield bonds are subject to additional risks such as the increased risk of default
(not applicable to Lifestyle Aggressive Portfolio). For a more complete description of
these risks, please review the underlying fund's prospectus, which is available upon
request. Diversification does not ensure against loss.
A Lifecycle Portfolio ("Fund") is a "fund of funds" which invests in a number of
underlying funds. The Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective will depend
largely on the ability of the subadviser to select the appropriate mix of underlying funds
and on the underlying funds' ability to meet their investment objectives. There can be
no assurance that either a Fund or the underlying funds will achieve their investment
objectives. A Fund is subject to the same risks as the underlying funds in which it
invests. Each Fund invests in underlying funds which invest in fixed-income securities
(including in some cases high yield securities) and equity securities, including foreign
securities and engage in Hedging and Other Strategic Transactions. To the extent the
Fund invests in these securities directly or engages in Hedging and Other Strategic
Transactions, the Fund will be subject to the same risks. As a Fund's asset mix becomes
more conservative, the fund becomes more susceptible to risks associated with fixedincome securities. For a more complete description of these risks, please review the
underlying fund's prospectus, which is available upon request.
Each Lifecycle Portfolio has an associated target date based on the expected year in
which participants in the portfolio plan to retire and no longer make contributions. The
investment strategy of these Portfolios are designed to become more conservative over
time as the Portfolio approaches and passes the target retirement date. The principal
value of an investment in these Portfolios is not guaranteed at any time, including at or
after the target date.
Mid Cap Stock Risk
Investments in mid-cap companies are subject to more erratic price movements than
investments in larger, more established companies. In particular, mid-sized companies
may pose greater risk due to narrow product lines, limited financial resources, less
depth in management or a limited trading market for their securities.
Mortgage-Backed and Asset-Backed Securities Risk
When interest rates fall, homeowners are more likely to prepay their mortgage loans.
An increased rate of prepayments on the fund's mortgage-backed securities will result
in an unforeseen loss of interest income to the fund as the fund may be required to
reinvest assets at a lower interest rate. Asset-backed securities include interests in
pools of debt securities, commercial or consumer loans, or their receivables. The value
of these securities depends on many factors, including changes in interest rates, the
availability of information concerning the pool and its structure, the credit quality of the
underlying assets, the market's perception of the servicer of the pool, and any credit
enhancement provided. In addition, asset-backed securities have prepayment risks
similar to mortgage-backed securities.
Non-Diversification Risk
A fund that is non-diversified may invest a high percentage of its assets in the
securities of a small number of issuers. This approach may result in more volatile
performance relative to more diversified funds. The less diversified a fund's holdings
are, the more a specific security's poor performance is likely to affect the fund's
performance.
Investment Options as of Aug/14/2012
Sector Risk
When a fund's investments are concentrated in a particular industry or sector of the
economy (e.g., real estate, technology, financial services), they are not as diversified
as the investments of most mutual funds and are far less diversified than the broad
securities markets. Funds concentrating in a particular industry sector tend to be more
volatile than other mutual funds, and the values of their investments tend to go up and
down more rapidly. A fund that invests in a particular industry or sector is particularly
susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting
than industry or sector.
Short Sale Risk
The fund may sell a security that it does not own. A fund will lose money if the price
of the security which it has sold short increases between the time of the short sale and
the date when the fund acquires the security sold short.
Small Cap Stock Risk
The fund's investments in smaller companies are subject to more erratic price
movements than investments in larger, more established companies. Small cap
companies may be developing or marketing new products or services for which
markets are not yet and may never become established. Although small, unseasoned
companies may offer greater opportunities for capital growth than larger, more
established companies, they also involve greater risks and should be considered
speculative.
Small/Mid Cap Stock Risk
The fund's investments in small-cap and mid-cap companies are subject to more
erratic price movements than investments in larger, more established companies. In
particular, mid-sized companies may pose greater risk due to narrow product lines,
limited financial resources, less depth in management or a limited trading market for
their securities. Similarly, small cap companies may be developing or marketing new
products or services for which markets are not yet and may never become established.
While small, unseasoned companies may offer greater opportunities for capital growth
than larger, more established companies, they also involve greater risks and should be
considered speculative.
Stabalizing Agreement Risk
JHLH maintains one or more Stabilizing Agreements in an attempt to maintain the
book value of the separate account. The obligations of each Stability Provider are
general, unsecured obligations of such Stability Provider. Default by a Stability provider
could result in participant withdrawals from the fund at less than book value. John
Hancock is not a Stability Provider, and does not guarantee either the book value of
the fund or the ability of any Stability Provider to guarantee such amounts. The fund
expects that the use of Stabilizing Agreements will (when combined with any benefit
responsive contracts and short-term investments held in other sub-accounts), under
most circumstances, permit the Fund to maintain a stable book value of �1.00 per
Unit of the Trust. However, the default of a Stability Provider and an inability to obtain
a replacement Stabilizing Agreement could render the fund unable to achieve its
objective of maintaining a stable book value of �1.00 per Unit of the Trust. There are a
limited number of potential Stability Providers. Should Stabilizing Agreements become
unavailable or should other conditions (such as cost or creditworthiness) render their
purchase and/or maintenance inadvisable, JHLH may elect not to cover some or all of
the assets in the separate account with Stabilizing Agreement(s).
Target Allocation Risk
From time to time, one or more of the underlying funds may experience relatively large
redemptions or investments due to reallocations or re-balancings of the assets of a
portfolio, which could affect the performance of the underlying funds and, therefore,
the performance of the fund.
Turnover Risk
Active and frequent trading of fund securities results in a high fund turnover rate.
Funds with high turnover rates often have higher transaction costs, which are paid by
the fund, that may have an adverse impact on fund performance, and may generate
short-term capital gains on which taxes may be imposed.
Page 13 of 14
U.S. Government Securities Risk
U.S. government securities do not involve the degree of credit risk associated with
investments in lower quality fixed-income securities. As a result, the yields available
from U.S. government securities are generally lower than the yields available from
many other fixed-income securities. These securities, like other fixed-income securities,
are subject to interest rate risk.
Value Stock Risk
The fund's investments in value stocks carry the risk that the market will not recognize
a security's intrinsic value for a long time or that a stock believed to be undervalued
may actually be appropriately priced.
