Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Disciplined Value Global Long/Short Fund (Class A/JAKRX) returned 26.57% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended March 31, 2026. Despite a sell-off in March 2026 caused by the start of the war in Iran, global equities registered strong returns over the full reporting period. The combination of steady economic growth, robust corporate earnings, and accommodative central bank policy helped support investors' appetite for risk.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Long positions** \| Overall, the fund's long positions produced strong total returns as a group at a time of positive market performance.

**Several aspects of the long portfolio** \| Holdings in the information technology sector made the largest contribution, led by Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd., Oracle Corp., and Applied Materials, Inc. Positioning in the materials and industrials sectors added value, as well.

**Certain areas of the short portfolio** \| The fund generated positive net contributions from its short positions in the materials and consumer staples sectors. (The dollar value of a short position rises when the price of the underlying security falls.)

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Short positions** \| Overall, the fund's short positions lost ground in the aggregate, detracting from absolute performance. However, the adverse effect was much lower than the positive impact of the fund's long positions.

**Industrials and financials sectors** \| Short positions in industrials and financials had the largest adverse effect on results.

**Certain sectors of the long portfolio** \| The fund's holdings in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors lost ground. Nomad Foods, Ltd., Sony Group Corp., and Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC were the most notable detractors to absolute performance in the three sectors, respectively.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $10,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Disciplined Value Global Long/Short Fund (Class NAV/JAKWX) returned 32.18% for the year ended March 31, 2026. Despite a sell-off in March 2026 caused by the start of the war in Iran, global equities registered strong returns over the full reporting period. The combination of steady economic growth, robust corporate earnings, and accommodative central bank policy helped support investors' appetite for risk.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Long positions** \| Overall, the fund's long positions produced strong total returns as a group at a time of positive market performance.

**Several aspects of the long portfolio** \| Holdings in the information technology sector made the largest contribution, led by Samsung Electronics Company, Ltd., Oracle Corp., and Applied Materials, Inc. Positioning in the materials and industrials sectors added value, as well.

**Certain areas of the short portfolio** \| The fund generated positive net contributions from its short positions in the materials and consumer staples sectors. (The dollar value of a short position rises when the price of the underlying security falls.)

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Short positions** \| Overall, the fund's short positions lost ground in the aggregate, detracting from absolute performance. However, the adverse effect was much lower than the positive impact of the fund's long positions.

**Industrials and financials sectors** \| Short positions in industrials and financials had the largest adverse effect on results.

**Certain sectors of the long portfolio** \| The fund's holdings in the consumer staples, consumer discretionary, and health care sectors lost ground. Nomad Foods, Ltd., Sony Group Corp., and Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC were the most notable detractors to absolute performance in the three sectors, respectively.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $10,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

Due to market volatility and other factors, the fund's current performance may be higher or lower than the performance shown. The graph and table do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or redemption of fund shares. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.**

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Diversified Real Assets Fund (Class NAV) returned 38.55% for the year ended March 31, 2026. Global equities rose despite financial markets being rattled late in the period by military actions against Iran, which triggered a global energy shock, drove oil prices sharply higher and shifted investor focus back to inflation and macroeconomic risks.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**The energy sector** \| The fund's investments in Cameco Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., and Cenovus Energy, Inc. were particularly strong performance contributors on an absolute basis, benefiting alongside rising energy commodity prices.

**The materials sector** \| Strong-performing gold-mining companies Agnico Eagle Mines, Ltd., Barrick Mining Corp., Kinross Gold Corp., and Newmont Corp. all benefited as precious metals gained sharply in value during the year.

**The real estate sector** \| Multiple real estate investment trusts were notable contributors to the fund's return, including health care REITs Welltower, Inc. and American Healthcare REIT, Inc., as well as industrial REIT Prologis, Inc.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Apartment REITs** \| Several apartment REITs were relatively weak performers, such as AvalonBay Communities, Inc., Essex Property Trust, Inc., Independence Realty Trust, Inc., and Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc.

**SL Green Realty Corp.** \| Shares of this office and shopping center REIT meaningfully fell during the 12-month period, reflecting market participants' concern about slowing demand for office space.

**American Tower Corp.** \| Communications tower stocks, including American Tower, were relatively weak throughout most of the 12-month time frame.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Fundamental Equity Income Fund (Class A/JHCMX) returned 20.30% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended March 31, 2026. U.S. equities posted strong gains during most of the period, fueled by artificial intelligence-driven earnings growth, resilient economic data, and expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. However, the Iran conflict created uncertainty about inflation, interest-rate policy and economic growth, which dampened stock returns late in the period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Financials** \| The financials sector contributed most to absolute performance, led by a position in State Street Corp., which benefited from strong earnings growth, rising fee income and higher net interest income as interest rates rose.

**Energy** \| Energy stocks also contributed to absolute performance. Higher oil prices – driven by geopolitical tensions and supply constraints — boosted earnings across the sector, including those of Suncor Energy, Inc., one of the fund's top individual gainers.

**Information technology** \| Information technology stocks lifted the fund's performance as well, led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Elevance Health, Inc.** \| The stock of the health insurer declined as more patients used health services, particularly those using Medicare Advantage and Medicaid insurance plans, resulting in higher-than-expected costs for the company.

**Becton, Dickinson and Company** \| The maker of health delivery products, ranging from needles and syringes to biotechnology equipment, came under pressure due to slowing growth in core medical products.

**Comcast Corp.** \| The broadband and media company underperformed as continued subscriber losses and intensifying competition from wireless and fiber providers pressured its core business, and advertising softness and ongoing cord-cutting weighed on its media segment.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Fundamental Equity Income Fund (Class C/JHCOX) returned 19.38% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended March 31, 2026. U.S. equities posted strong gains during most of the period, fueled by artificial intelligence-driven earnings growth, resilient economic data, and expectations of U.S. Federal Reserve interest rate cuts. However, the Iran conflict created uncertainty about inflation, interest-rate policy and economic growth, which dampened stock returns late in the period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Financials** \| The financials sector contributed most to absolute performance, led by a position in State Street Corp., which benefited from strong earnings growth, rising fee income and higher net interest income as interest rates rose.

**Energy** \| Energy stocks also contributed to absolute performance. Higher oil prices – driven by geopolitical tensions and supply constraints — boosted earnings across the sector, including those of Suncor Energy, Inc., one of the fund's top individual gainers.

**Information technology** \| Information technology stocks lifted the fund's performance as well, led by Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, Ltd.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Elevance Health, Inc.** \| The stock of the health insurer declined as more patients used health services, particularly those using Medicare Advantage and Medicaid insurance plans, resulting in higher-than-expected costs for the company.

**Becton, Dickinson and Company** \| The maker of health delivery products, ranging from needles and syringes to biotechnology equipment, came under pressure due to slowing growth in core medical products.

**Comcast Corp.** \| The broadband and media company underperformed as continued subscriber losses and intensifying competition from wireless and fiber providers pressured its core business, and advertising softness and ongoing cord-cutting weighed on its media segment.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Global Climate Action Fund (Class I/JLFSX) returned 5.01% for the year ended March 31, 2026. Global equities experienced significant volatility amid trade tensions that initially erased the market's gains but later stabilized as negotiations yielded tariff-related agreements. Despite ongoing geopolitical strife, financial markets demonstrated remarkable resilience, supported by central bank interest-rate cuts. The artificial intelligence (AI) investment theme remained dominant, driving market optimism despite concern about valuations and the timeline for monetization.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Information technology** \| Strong performance from the information technology sector lifted the fund, led by positions in Oracle Corp. and NVIDIA Corp. Oracle, which was sold from the fund this period, benefited from strong performance from its cloud-computing offerings, while NVIDIA rose on unprecedented demand for chips driven by the buildout of AI infrastructure.

**Industrials** \| Within this sector, Johnson Controls International PLC, a provider of fire, HVAC, and security equipment for buildings, notably added to the fund's absolute performance.

**Communication services** \| In communication services, the fund benefited from Alphabet, Inc., parent company of Google and a very strong performer for the reporting period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Financials** \| Several of the fund's holdings in this sector were weak, particularly insurance brokers Brown & Brown, Inc. and Marsh & McLennan Companies, Inc. Brown & Brown, Inc. was sold during the period.

**Health care** \| Within the health care sector, a position in Elevance Health, Inc. hampered results.

**Materials** \| The materials sector modestly detracted from absolute performance, particularly a position in Givaudan SA, a Swiss multinational manufacturer of flavors and fragrances.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter).

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Mid Cap Growth Fund (Class A/JACJX) returned 12.63% (excluding sales charges) for the year ended March 31, 2026. U.S. equities rose during the 12-month period but experienced increased volatility driven by shifting macroeconomic and geopolitical forces. The early gains reflected resilient economic growth, solid corporate earnings, moderate inflation, strong performance from large-cap and artificial intelligence–related stocks, and U.S. Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts. Later in the period, though, markets pulled back as interest rates remained higher for longer than previously anticipated, inflation risks resurfaced, and geopolitical conflict raised concern about higher oil prices and reduced economic growth, which led to a broad equity-market sell-off.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Information technology** \| Performance in this sector was led by Celestica, Inc., a Canadian provider of electronics manufacturing services, and Palantir Technologies, Inc., an IT data and analytics company. Palantir was sold during the period.

**Industrials** \| Within the industrials sector, the fund's top contributor on an absolute basis was Vertiv Holdings Company, a maker of infrastructure for data centers.

**Health care** \| In the health care sector, Exact Sciences Corp. was a standout. The firm was acquired by Abbott Laboratories late in the period and was no longer held at the end of the period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Communication services** \| In the communication services sector, gaming company Roblox Corp. and Reddit, Inc., an online information platform, meaningfully detracted in absolute terms.

**Consumer discretionary** \| The consumer discretionary sector hampered results on an absolute basis, most notably due to the fund's position in Expedia Group, Inc., an online travel agency.

**Consumer staples** \| Within this category, BellRing Brands, Inc., a provider of protein-oriented nutritional products, meaningfully detracted from the fund's performance on an absolute basis. The stock was sold during the period.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter).

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Mid Cap Growth Fund (Class I/JACBX) returned 12.95% for the year ended March 31, 2026. U.S. equities rose during the 12-month period but experienced increased volatility driven by shifting macroeconomic and geopolitical forces. The early gains reflected resilient economic growth, solid corporate earnings, moderate inflation, strong performance from large-cap and artificial intelligence–related stocks, and U.S. Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts. Later in the period, though, markets pulled back as interest rates remained higher for longer than previously anticipated, inflation risks resurfaced, and geopolitical conflict raised concern about higher oil prices and reduced economic growth, which led to a broad equity-market sell-off.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Information technology** \| Performance in this sector was led by Celestica, Inc., a Canadian provider of electronics manufacturing services, and Palantir Technologies, Inc., an IT data and analytics company. Palantir was sold during the period.

**Industrials** \| Within the industrials sector, the fund's top contributor on an absolute basis was Vertiv Holdings Company, a maker of infrastructure for data centers.

**Health care** \| In the health care sector, Exact Sciences Corp. was a standout. The firm was acquired by Abbott Laboratories late in the period and was no longer held at the end of the period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Communication services** \| In the communication services sector, gaming company Roblox Corp. and Reddit, Inc., an online information platform, meaningfully detracted in absolute terms.

**Consumer discretionary** \| The consumer discretionary sector hampered results on an absolute basis, most notably due to the fund's position in Expedia Group, Inc., an online travel agency.

**Consumer staples** \| Within this category, BellRing Brands, Inc., a provider of protein-oriented nutritional products, meaningfully detracted from the fund's performance on an absolute basis. The stock was sold during the period.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $250,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

Management's Discussion of Fund Performance

#### SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Mid Cap Growth Fund (Class NAV/JACFX) returned 13.08% for the year ended March 31, 2026. U.S. equities rose during the 12-month period but experienced increased volatility driven by shifting macroeconomic and geopolitical forces. The early gains reflected resilient economic growth, solid corporate earnings, moderate inflation, strong performance from large-cap and artificial intelligence–related stocks, and U.S. Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts. Later in the period, though, markets pulled back as interest rates remained higher for longer than previously anticipated, inflation risks resurfaced, and geopolitical conflict raised concern about higher oil prices and reduced economic growth, which led to a broad equity-market sell-off.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE CONTRIBUTORS
**Information technology** \| Performance in this sector was led by Celestica, Inc., a Canadian provider of electronics manufacturing services, and Palantir Technologies, Inc., an IT data and analytics company. Palantir was sold during the period.

**Industrials** \| Within the industrials sector, the fund's top contributor on an absolute basis was Vertiv Holdings Company, a maker of infrastructure for data centers.

**Health care** \| In the health care sector, Exact Sciences Corp. was a standout. The firm was acquired by Abbott Laboratories late in the period and was no longer held at the end of the period.

#### TOP PERFORMANCE DETRACTORS
**Communication services** \| In the communication services sector, gaming company Roblox Corp. and Reddit, Inc., an online information platform, meaningfully detracted in absolute terms.

**Consumer discretionary** \| The consumer discretionary sector hampered results on an absolute basis, most notably due to the fund's position in Expedia Group, Inc., an online travel agency.

**Consumer staples** \| Within this category, BellRing Brands, Inc., a provider of protein-oriented nutritional products, meaningfully detracted from the fund's performance on an absolute basis. The stock was sold during the period.

The views expressed in this report are those of the portfolio management team and are subject to change. They are not meant as investment advice.

Fund Performance

The following graph compares the initial and subsequent account values at the end of each of the most recently completed 10 fiscal years of the fund (or for the life of the fund, if shorter). It assumes a $10,000 initial investment in the fund and in an appropriate, broad-based securities market index for the same period.

(e)(1) Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The registrant's Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm (the "Auditor") relating to the operations or financial reporting of the funds. Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The registrant's Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures to, among other purposes, provide a framework for the Committee's consideration of audit-related and non-audit services by the Auditor. The policies and procedures require that any audit-related and non-audit service provided by the Auditor and any non-audit service provided by the Auditor to a fund service provider that relates directly to the operations and financial reporting of a fund are subject to approval by the Audit Committee before such service is provided. Audit-related services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $25,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. Tax services provided by the Auditor that are expected to exceed $30,000 per instance/per fund are subject to specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee.

All audit services, as well as the audit-related and non-audit services that are expected to exceed the amounts stated above, must be approved in advance of provision of the service by formal resolution of the Audit Committee. At the regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings, the Committee reviews a report summarizing the services, including fees, provided by the Auditor.

(h) The audit committee of the registrant has considered the non-audit services provided by the registrant's principal accountant to the control affiliates and has determined that the services that were not pre-approved are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence.

Notes to financial statements

#### Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Disciplined Value Global Long/Short Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term growth of capital.

The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds, retirement plans for employees of John Hancock and/or Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain 529 plans. Class C shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase (certain exclusions may apply). Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

Class NAV shares commenced operations on April 4, 2025.

#### Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

**Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund's valuation designee.**

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Exchange-traded options are valued at the mid-price of the last quoted bid and ask prices from the exchange where the option trades. Unlisted options are valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Swaps are generally valued using evaluated prices obtained from an independent pricing vendor. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_D_5a37b5ae-48ae-422e-a80f-d67a86cfe421_TofC)

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee, following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund's investments as of March 31, 2026, by major security category or type:

<sup>1</sup> Change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) attributable to Level 3 securities held at period end. This balance is included in change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on the Statement of operations.

**Securities sold short. The fund may engage in short sales and short sales "against the box.". In a short sale against the box, a fund borrows securities from a broker-dealer and sells the borrowed securities, and at all times during the transaction, a fund either owns or has the right to acquire the same securities at no extra cost. If the price of the security has declined at the time a fund is required to deliver the security, a fund will benefit from the difference in the price. If the price of a security has increased, the fund will be required to pay the difference.**

In addition, the fund may make short sales of securities that the fund does not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security (a "short sale"). To complete such a transaction, a fund must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The fund is then obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the fund. Until the security is replaced, the fund is required to pay the lender any dividends or interest which accrues during the period of the loan. Interest or short dividend expense is recorded as incurred. To borrow the security, the fund also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The proceeds of the short sale are typically retained by the broker to meet margin requirements until the short position is closed out. Collateral posted by the fund is noted in the accompanying Fund's investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Cash at prime broker. As of March 31, 2026,

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_D_5a37b5ae-48ae-422e-a80f-d67a86cfe421_TofC)

securities with total market value of $22,118,768 and cash at prime broker of $6,377,157 were pledged as collateral.

The fund will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the fund replaced the borrowed security and theoretically the fund's loss could be unlimited. The fund will generally realize a gain if the security declines in price between those dates. This result is the opposite of what one would expect from a cash purchase of a long position in a security. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividends or interest the fund may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. Short selling may amplify changes in a fund's NAV. Short selling also may produce higher than normal portfolio turnover, which may result in increased transaction costs to a fund.

**Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.**

**Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund may invest its cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the fund, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.** 

The fund has the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.

Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the fund will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The fund receives compensation for lending its securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the fund is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.

Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund are shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. As of March 31, 2026, the fund loaned securities valued at $16,282,734 and received $17,041,732 of cash collateral.

**Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized**

and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

**Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.**

**Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end are presented under the caption Due to custodian in the Statement of assets and liabilities.**

**Line of credit. The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit. Commitment fees for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $1,338.**

**Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.**

**Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are charged daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.**

**Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.**

As of March 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund's federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

**Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.**

The tax character of distributions for the year ended March 31, 2026, the period ended March 31, 2025, and the year ended August 31, 2024 was as follows:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2026** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2025** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**August 31, 2024** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$26571515 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$14387813 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$2313704 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;9655833 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;7560081 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$36227348** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$21947894** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$2313704** |

---

Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. As of March 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $26,868,397 of undistributed ordinary income and $2,345,203 of undistributed long-term capital gains.

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund's financial statements as a return of capital.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to derivative transactions, wash sale loss deferrals, investments in passive foreign investment companies and straddle loss deferrals.

#### Note 3 — Derivative instruments
The fund may invest in derivatives in order to meet its investment objective. Derivatives include a variety of different instruments that may be traded in the over-the-counter (OTC) market, on a regulated exchange or through a clearing facility. The risks in using derivatives vary depending upon the structure of the instruments, including the use of leverage, optionality, the liquidity or lack of liquidity of the contract, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or clearing organization and the volatility of the position. Some derivatives involve risks that are potentially greater than the risks associated with investing directly in the referenced securities or other referenced underlying instrument. Specifically, the fund is exposed to the risk that the counterparty to an OTC derivatives contract will be unable or unwilling to make timely settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. OTC derivatives transactions typically can only be closed out with the other party to the transaction.

Derivatives which are typically traded through the OTC market are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the CFTC). Derivative counterparty risk is managed through an ongoing evaluation of the creditworthiness of all potential counterparties and, if applicable, designated clearing organizations. The fund attempts to reduce its exposure to counterparty risk for derivatives traded in the OTC market, whenever possible, by entering into an International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) Master Agreement with each of its OTC counterparties. The ISDA gives each party to the agreement the right to terminate all transactions traded under the agreement if there is certain deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default of the other party, as defined in the ISDA. Upon an event of default or a termination of the ISDA, the non-defaulting party has the right to close out all transactions and to net amounts owed.

As defined by the ISDA, the fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate counterparty risk on OTC derivatives. Subject to established minimum levels, collateral for OTC transactions is generally determined based on the net aggregate unrealized gain or loss on contracts with a particular counterparty. Collateral pledged to the fund, if any, is held in a segregated account by a third-party agent or held by the custodian bank for the benefit of the fund and can be in the form of cash or debt securities issued by the U.S. government or related agencies; collateral posted by the fund, if any, for OTC transactions is held in a

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_D_5a37b5ae-48ae-422e-a80f-d67a86cfe421_TofC)

segregated account at the fund's custodian and is noted in the accompanying Fund's investments, or if cash is posted, on the Statement of assets and liabilities. The fund's risk of loss due to counterparty risk is equal to the asset value of outstanding contracts offset by collateral received.

Certain derivatives are traded or cleared on an exchange or central clearinghouse. Exchange-traded or centrally-cleared transactions generally present less counterparty risk to a fund than OTC transactions. The exchange or clearinghouse stands between the fund and the broker to the contract and therefore, credit risk is generally limited to the failure of the exchange or clearinghouse and the clearing member.

**Options. There are two types of options, put options and call options. Options are traded either OTC or on an exchange. A call option gives the purchaser of the option the right to buy (and the seller the obligation to sell) the underlying asset at the exercise price. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell (and the writer the obligation to buy) the underlying asset at the exercise price. Writing puts and buying calls may increase the fund's exposure to changes in the value of the underlying instrument. Buying puts and writing calls may decrease the fund's exposure to such changes. Risks related to the use of options include the loss of premiums on purchased options, possible illiquidity of the options markets, trading restrictions imposed by an exchange and movements in underlying security values, and for written options, potential losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. In addition, OTC options are subject to the risks of all OTC derivatives contracts.** 

Purchased options are included in the Fund's investments and are subsequently "marked-to-market" to reflect current market value. If a purchased option expires, the fund realizes a loss equal to the premium paid for the option. Premiums paid for purchased options which are exercised or closed are added to the amounts paid or offset against the proceeds on the underlying asset transaction to determine the realized gain (loss). Written options are included as liabilities in the Statement of assets and liabilities and are "marked-to-market" to reflect the current market value. If the written option expires, the fund realizes a gain equal to the premium received. Premiums received from writing options which are exercised or closed are added to the proceeds or offset against amounts paid on the underlying asset transaction to determine the realized gain (loss).

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the fund wrote option contracts to manage against changes in certain securities markets and to gain exposure to certain securities markets. The fund held written option contracts with market values ranging up to $1.4 million, as measured at each quarter end. There were no open written option contracts as of March 31, 2026.

**Swaps. Swap agreements are agreements between the fund and a counterparty to exchange cash flows, assets, foreign currencies or market-linked returns at specified intervals. Swap agreements are privately negotiated in the OTC market (OTC swaps) or may be executed on a registered commodities exchange (centrally cleared swaps). Swaps are marked-to-market daily and the change in value is recorded as a component of unrealized appreciation/depreciation of swap contracts. The value of the swap will typically impose collateral posting obligations on the party that is considered out-of-the-money on the swap.** 

Upfront payments made/received by the fund, if any, are amortized/accreted for financial reporting purposes, with the unamortized/unaccreted portion included in the Statement of assets and liabilities. A termination payment by the counterparty or the fund is recorded as realized gain or loss, as well as the net periodic payments received or paid by the fund.

Entering into swap agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit, market and documentation risk that may provide outcomes that produce losses in excess of the amounts recognized on the Statement of assets and liabilities. Such risks involve the possibility that there will be no liquid market for the swap, or that a counterparty may default on its obligation or delay payment under the swap terms. The counterparty may disagree or contest the terms of the swap. In addition to interest rate risk, market risks may also impact the swap. The fund may also suffer losses if it is unable to terminate or assign outstanding swaps or reduce its exposure through offsetting transactions.

**Total Return Swaps. The fund may enter into total return swap contracts to obtain synthetic exposure to a specific reference asset or index without owning, taking physical custody of, or short selling the underlying assets. Total return swaps are commitments where one party pays a fixed or variable rate premium (the Buyer) in exchange for a market-linked return (the Seller). The Seller pays the total return of a specific reference asset or index and in return receives interest payments from the Buyer. To the extent the total return of the underlying asset or index exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Buyer will receive or make a payment to the Seller. A fund may enter into total return swaps in which it may act as either the Buyer or the Seller. Total return swap contracts are subject to the risk associated with the investment in the underlying reference asset or index. The risk in the case of short total return swap contracts is unlimited based on the potential for unlimited increases in the market value of the underlying reference asset or index.**

During the year ended March 31, 2026, the fund used total return swaps to gain exposure to a security or market without investing directly in such security or market and to exchange the risk/return of one market with another. The fund held total return swaps with total USD notional amounts ranging from $73.7 million to $471.8 million, as measured at each quarter end.

For financial reporting purposes, the fund does not offset OTC derivative assets or liabilities that are subject to master netting arrangements, as defined by the ISDAs, in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the ISDA allows an offset of amounts across the various transactions between the fund and the applicable counterparty.

#### Note 4 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

#### Note 5 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

**Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor, equivalent on an annual basis, to the sum of: (a) 1.400% of the first $250 million of the fund's average daily net assets, (b) 1.375% of the next $750 million of the fund's average daily net assets, and (c) 1.350% of the fund's average daily net assets in excess over $1 billion. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Boston Partners Global Investors, Inc. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_D_5a37b5ae-48ae-422e-a80f-d67a86cfe421_TofC)

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During the year ended March 31, 2026, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make payment to the fund in an amount by which expenses of the fund exceed 1.53% of average daily net assets of the fund. For purposes of this agreement, "expenses of the fund" means all fund expenses, excluding (a) taxes, (b) brokerage commissions, (c) interest expense, (d) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund's business, (e) class-specific expenses, (f) borrowing costs, (g) prime brokerage fees,(h) acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and (i) short dividend expense. This agreement expires on July 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the expense reductions described above amounted to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Expense reduction** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;$2837 |
| Class C | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;102 |
| Class I | &nbsp;&nbsp;19705 |

| Class NAV | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;8527 |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$34946** |

---

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended March 31, 2026, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 1.38% of the fund's average daily net assets.

**Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund's average daily net assets.**

**Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted distribution and service plans for certain classes as detailed below pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to the following contractual rates of distribution and service fees under these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund's shares:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Rule 12b-1 Fee** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.25% |
| Class C | &nbsp;&nbsp;1.00% |

#### Sales charges. Class A shares may be subject to up-front sales charges. For the year ended March 31, 2026, no sales charges were assessed.
Class A and Class C shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares purchased, including those that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more, and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption

or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the year ended March 31, 2026, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A or Class C shares.

**Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts.

#### Note 10 — Reorganization
At its meeting held on December 10-12, 2024, the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Investment Trust (JHIT), of which JHIT Seaport Long/Short Fund (the Acquired Fund) was a series of, voted to approve an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the Agreement) which provided for an exchange of shares of John Hancock Disciplined Value Global/Long Short Fund (the Acquiring Fund) with a value equal to the net assets transferred.The Agreement provided for (a) the acquisition of all the assets, subject to all of the liabilities, of the Acquired Fund in exchange for shares of the Acquiring Fund with a value equal to the net assets transferred; (b) the liquidation of the Acquired Fund; and (c) the distribution to the Acquired Fund's shareholders of such Acquiring Fund's shares. The reorganization was intended to achieve potential opportunities for economies of scale. As a result of the reorganization, the Acquiring Fund is the legal and accounting survivor.

The reorganization qualified as a tax-free reorganization for federal income tax purposes with no gain or loss recognized by the Acquired Fund or their shareholders. Thus, the investments were transferred to the Acquiring Fund at the Acquired Fund's identified cost. All distributable amounts of net income and realized gains from the Acquired Fund were distributed prior to the reorganization. In addition, the Acquired Fund and Acquiring Fund will

bear a pro-rata portion of the costs that are incurred in connection with the reorganization. The effective time of the reorganization occurred immediately after the close of regularly scheduled trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on April 4, 2025. The following outlines the reorganization:

Because the combined fund has been managed as a single integrated fund since the reorganization was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of net investment income and gains attributable to the Acquired Fund that have been included in the Acquiring Fund's Statement of operations at March 31, 2026. See Note 6 for capital shares issued in connection with the above referenced reorganization.

Assuming the acquisition had been completed on April 1, 2025, the beginning of the reporting period, the Acquiring Fund's pro forma results of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026 are as follows:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Net Investment Income | $4627446 |
| Net realized and unrealized gain | $83429793 |
| Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations | **$88057239** |

#### Note 11 — Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the fund's chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund's subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities as "Total assets", which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statement of operations, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations", Statements of changes in net assets, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions", and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to financial statements

#### Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Diversified Real Assets Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek a long-term total return in excess of inflation.

The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds, retirement plans for employees of John Hancock and/or Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain 529 plans. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

#### Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

**Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund's valuation designee.**

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Debt obligations are typically valued based on evaluated prices provided by an independent pricing vendor. Independent pricing vendors utilize matrix pricing, which takes into account factors such as institutional-size trading in similar groups of securities, yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data, as well as broker supplied prices. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee,

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_Diver_68826796-8e1d-48e1-9d54-073cd4a03dbe_TofC)

following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund's investments as of March 31, 2026, by major security category or type:

**Repurchase agreements. The fund may enter into repurchase agreements. When the fund enters into a repurchase agreement, it receives collateral that is held in a segregated account by the fund's custodian, or for tri-party repurchase agreements, collateral is held at a third-party custodian bank in a segregated account for the benefit of the fund. The collateral amount is marked-to-market and monitored on a daily basis to ensure that the collateral held is in an amount not less than the principal amount of the repurchase agreement plus any accrued interest. Collateral received by the fund for repurchase agreements is disclosed in the Fund's investments as part of the caption related to the repurchase agreement.**

Repurchase agreements are typically governed by the terms and conditions of the Master Repurchase Agreement

and/or Global Master Repurchase Agreement (collectively, MRA). Upon an event of default, the non-defaulting party may close out all transactions traded under the MRA and net amounts owed. Absent an event of default, assets and liabilities resulting from repurchase agreements are not offset in the Statement of assets and liabilities. In the event of a default by the counterparty, realization of the collateral proceeds could be delayed, during which time the collateral value may decline or the counterparty may have insufficient assets to pay claims resulting from close-out of the transactions.

**Real estate investment trusts. The fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the fund will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.**

**Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Interest income includes coupon interest and amortization/accretion of premiums/discounts on debt securities. Debt obligations may be placed in a non-accrual status and related interest income may be reduced by stopping current accruals and writing off interest receivable when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.**

**Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund may invest its cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the fund, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.** 

The fund has the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.

Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the fund will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The fund receives compensation for lending its securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the fund is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.

Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund are shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. As of March 31, 2026, the fund loaned securities valued at $21,490,704 and received $22,298,768 of cash collateral.

In addition, non-cash collateral of approximately $69,758 in the form of U.S. Treasuries was pledged to the fund. This non-cash collateral is not reflected in the fund's net assets, however could be sold by the securities lending agent in the event of default by the borrower.

**Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.**

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

**Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.**

**Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law. Overdrafts at period end are presented under the caption Due to custodian and Foreign currency overdraft in the Statement of assets and liabilities.**

**Line of credit. The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. Commitment fees for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $4,015.**

**Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.**

**Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.**

As of March 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund's federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

**Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.**

The tax character of distributions for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2026** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2025** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$27282926 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$27111147 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;91885961 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;27005521 |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$119168887** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$54116668** |

---

As of March 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $7,516,072 of undistributed ordinary income and $86,291,939 of undistributed long-term capital gains.

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund's financial statements as a return of capital.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to wash sale loss deferrals and investments in passive foreign investment companies.

#### Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

#### Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

**Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent on an annual basis to the sum of: (a) 0.850% of the first $2 billion of the fund's average daily net assets and (b) 0.800% of the fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. The Advisor has subadvisory agreements with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC and Wellington Management Company LLP. Prior to June 30, 2025, the Advisor had subadvisory agreements with Manulife Investment Management (North America) Limited and Wellington Management Company LLP. Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC and Manulife Investment Management (North America) LLC are both indirectly owned subsidiaries of Manulife Financial Corporation and affiliates of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.**

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each

fund. During the year ended March 31, 2026, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor contractually agrees to reduce its management fee by an annual rate of 0.05% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The expense reductions described above amounted to $452,915 for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended March 31, 2026, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.79% of the fund's average daily net assets.

**Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund's average daily net assets.**

**Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to the fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.**

**Interfund lending program. Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the fund, along with certain other funds advised by the Advisor or its affiliates, may participate in an interfund lending program. This program provides an alternative credit facility allowing the fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating affiliated funds. At period end, no interfund loans were outstanding. Interest expense is included in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. The fund's activity in this program during the period for which loans were outstanding was as follows:**

Affiliates of the fund owned 100% of shares of Class NAV on March 31, 2026. Such concentration of shareholders' capital could have a material effect on the fund if such shareholders redeem from the fund.

#### Note 6 — Purchase and sale of securities
Purchases and sales of securities, other than short-term investments, amounted to $526,393,187 and $754,513,959, respectively, for the year ended March 31, 2026.

#### Note 7 — Industry or sector risk
The fund may invest a large percentage of its assets in one or more particular industries or sectors of the economy. If a large percentage of the fund's assets are economically tied to a single or small number of industries or sectors of the economy, the fund will be less diversified than a more broadly diversified fund, and it may cause the fund to underperform if that industry or sector underperforms. In addition, focusing on a particular industry or sector may make the fund's NAV more volatile. Further, a fund that invests in particular industries or sectors is particularly susceptible to the impact of market, economic, regulatory and other factors affecting those industries or sectors.

REITs, pooled investment vehicles that typically invest in real estate directly or in loans collateralized by real estate, carry risks associated with owning real estate, including the potential for a decline in value due to economic or market conditions. Securities of companies in the real estate industry carry risks associated with owning real estate, including the potential for a decline in value due to economic or market conditions. The energy sector is cyclical and highly dependent on commodities prices, which may be volatile. The market value of energy companies can be significantly affected by a number of factors, including global energy price volatility, supply and demand, exchange- and interest-rate fluctuation, and domestic and foreign political and economic developments. Energy companies also face a significant risk of civil liability.

#### Note 8 — Investment by affiliated funds
Certain investors in the fund are affiliated funds that are managed by the Advisor and its affiliates. The affiliated funds do not invest in the fund for the purpose of exercising management or control; however, this investment may represent a significant portion of the fund's net assets. At March 31, 2026, funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex held 100.0% of the fund's net assets. The following fund(s) had an affiliate ownership of 5% or more of the fund's net assets:

#### Note 9 — Investment in affiliated underlying funds

#### Note 10 — Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the fund's chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund's subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities as "Total assets", which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statement of operations, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations", Statements of changes in net assets, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions", and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

------

#### To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Investment Trust and Shareholders of John Hancock Diversified Real Assets Fund

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the fund's investments, of John Hancock Diversified Real Assets Fund (one of the funds constituting John Hancock Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2026 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2026 the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period ended March 31, 2026 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to financial statements

#### Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Fundamental Equity Income Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term capital appreciation and current income.

The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class C shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase (certain exclusions may apply). Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

Class A, Class C and Class R6 shares commenced operations on April 4, 2025.

#### Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

**Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund's valuation designee.**

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed.

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_F_698bf27b-1d3d-46d0-9b99-f2e17635c61b_TofC)

The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

As of March 31, 2026, all investments are categorized as Level 1 under the hierarchy described above.

**Real estate investment trusts. The fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the fund will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.**

**Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.**

**Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.**

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

**Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.**

**Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.**

**Line of credit. The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit. Commitment fees for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $26.**

**Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.**

**Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are charged daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.**

**Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.**

As of March 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund's federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

**Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends quarterly. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.**

The tax character of distributions for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2026** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2025** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$291595 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$371237 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1183716 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;291694 |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$1475311** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$662931** |

---

Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. As of March 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $26,043 of undistributed ordinary income and $205,273 of undistributed long-term capital gains.

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund's financial statements as a return of capital.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to treating a portion of the proceeds from redemptions as distributions for tax purposes and wash sale loss deferrals.

#### Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

#### Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

**Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent on an annual basis to the sum of: (a) 0.600% of the first $1 billion of the fund's average daily net assets; (b) 0.585% of the next $1 billion of the fund's average daily net assets; and (c) 0.550% of the fund's average daily net assets in excess of $2 billion. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.**

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During the year ended March 31, 2026, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make payment to the fund, in an amount equal to the amount by which expenses of the fund exceed 0.71% of average daily net assets of the fund. For purposes of this agreement, expenses of the fund means all fund expenses, excluding (a) taxes, (b) brokerage commissions, (c) interest expense, (d) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund's business, (e) class-specific expenses, (f) borrowing costs, (g) prime brokerage fees, (h) acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and (i) short dividend expense. This agreement expires on July 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the expense reductions described above amounted to the following:

Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund's average daily net assets.**

**Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted distribution and service plans for certain classes as detailed below pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to the following contractual rates of distribution and service fees under these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund's shares:**

#### Sales charges. Class A shares may be subject to up-front sales charges. For the year ended March 31, 2026, no sales charges were assessed.
Class A and Class C shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares purchased, including those that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more, and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed. Proceeds from CDSCs are used to compensate the Distributor for providing distribution-related services in connection with the sale of these shares. During the year ended March 31, 2026, there were no CDSCs received by the Distributor for Class A or Class C shares.

**Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to three categories of share classes: Retail Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Retirement Share Classes and Retail Share Classes of Municipal Bond Funds. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.**

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent.

Notes to financial statements

#### Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Global Climate Action Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek to provide long-term capital growth by investing in a diversified portfolio of Climate Leaders. Climate Leaders are issuers that the manager determines are aligned with the principles of the Paris Agreement, an international treaty that aims to strengthen the global response to the threat of climate change. For further information on the fund's investment objective and strategy, see the fund's prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, defined terms have the same meaning as set forth in the fund's prospectus.

The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

#### Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

**Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund's valuation designee.**

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee,

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_G_6889dcb4-85db-4b9b-ba2d-30b703b574a5_TofC)

following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund's investments as of March 31, 2026, by major security category or type:

**Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.**

**Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_G_6889dcb4-85db-4b9b-ba2d-30b703b574a5_TofC)

and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

**Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.**

**Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.**

**Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.**

**Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.**

As of March 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund's federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

**Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.**

The tax character of distributions for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2026** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2025** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$187182 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$365235 |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;279891 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$467073** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$365235** |

---

As of March 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $155 of undistributed ordinary income and $230,784 of undistributed long-term capital gains.

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund's financial statements as a return of capital.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. The fund had no material book-tax differences at March 31, 2026.

#### Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

#### Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

**Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent on an annual basis to the sum of: (a) 0.850% of the first $500 million of the fund's average daily net assets; and (b) 0.830% of the fund's average daily net assets in excess of $500 million. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (US) LLC, an indirectly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. Prior to June 30, 2025, the Advisor had a subadvisory agreement with Manulife Investment Management (North America) Limited, also an indirectly owned subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation and an affiliate of the Advisor. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.**

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During the year ended March 31, 2026, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee or, if necessary, make payment to the fund, in an amount equal to the amount by which expenses of the fund exceed 0.84% of average daily net assets of the fund. For purposes of this agreement, expenses of the fund means all fund expenses, excluding (a) taxes, (b) brokerage commissions, (c) interest expense, (d) litigation and indemnification expenses and other extraordinary expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the fund's business, (e) class-specific expenses, (f) borrowing costs, (g) prime brokerage fees, (h) acquired fund fees and expenses paid indirectly, and (i) short dividend expense. This agreement expires on July 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The expense reductions described above amounted to $96,368 for the year ended March 31, 2026.

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended March 31, 2026, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.00% of the fund's average daily net assets.

**Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory reports, among other services. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund's average daily net assets.**

**Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to three categories of share classes: Retail Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Retirement Share Classes and Retail Share Classes of Municipal Bond Funds. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.**

**Trustee expenses. The fund compensates each Trustee who is not an employee of the Advisor or its affiliates. The costs of paying Trustee compensation and expenses are allocated to the fund based on its net assets relative to other funds within the John Hancock group of funds complex.**

#### Note 5 — Fund share transactions

#### Note 8 — Environmentally focused and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing risks
The fund's environmental criteria limit the available investments compared to funds with no such criteria. The fund's incorporation of environmental criteria may affect the fund's exposure to certain sectors and/or types of investments, and under certain economic conditions, this could cause the fund to underperform funds that invest in a broader array of investments depending on whether such sectors or investments are in or out of favor in the market. The data provided by third parties may be incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable, which could cause the manager to incorrectly assess environmental data related to a particular company.

Incorporating ESG criteria and investing primarily in instruments that have certain ESG characteristics, as determined by the manager, carries the risk that the fund may perform differently, including underperforming, funds that do not utilize an ESG investment strategy, or funds that utilize different ESG criteria. Although the manager has established its own process for evaluation of ESG factors, successful application of the fund's sustainable investment strategy will depend on the manager's skill in researching, identifying and analyzing material ESG issues, as well as on the availability of relevant data. ESG factors may be evaluated differently by different managers, and may not carry the same meaning to all investors and managers. The regulatory landscape with respect to ESG investing in the United States is evolving and any future rules or regulations may require the fund to change its investment process with respect to ESG integration.

#### Note 9 — Segment reporting
The management committee of the Advisor acts as the fund's chief operating decision maker (the CODM), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation. The fund represents a single operating segment, as the CODM monitors and assesses the operating results of the fund as a whole, and the fund's long-term strategic asset allocation is managed in accordance with the terms of its prospectus, based on a defined investment strategy which is executed by the portfolio management team of the fund's subadvisor. Segment assets are reflected in the Statement of assets and liabilities as "Total assets", which consists primarily of total investments at value. The financial information, including the measurement of profit and loss and significant expenses, provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented within the Statement of operations, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from operations", Statements of changes in net assets, which includes "Increase (decrease) in net assets from fund share transactions", and Financial highlights, which includes total return and income and expense ratios.

#### Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

------

#### To the Board of Trustees of John Hancock Investment Trust and Shareholders of John Hancock Global Climate Action Fund

#### Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the schedule of investments, of John Hancock Global Climate Action Fund (one of the funds constituting John Hancock Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 and for the period December 19, 2023 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2024 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of March 31, 2026 the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026 and the financial highlights for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 and for the period December 19, 2023 (commencement of operations) through March 31, 2024 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

#### Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Notes to financial statements

#### Note 1 — Organization
John Hancock Mid Cap Growth Fund (the fund) is a series of John Hancock Investment Trust (the Trust), an open-end management investment company organized as a Massachusetts business trust and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act). The investment objective of the fund is to seek long-term growth and capital appreciation.

The fund may offer multiple classes of shares. The shares currently outstanding are detailed in the Statement of assets and liabilities. Class A and Class C shares are offered to all investors. Class I shares are offered to institutions and certain investors. Class R6 shares are only available to certain retirement plans, institutions and other investors. Class NAV shares are offered to John Hancock affiliated funds of funds, retirement plans for employees of John Hancock and/or Manulife Financial Corporation, and certain 529 plans. Class C shares convert to Class A shares eight years after purchase (certain exclusions may apply). Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights to matters that affect that class. The distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees for each class may differ.

#### Note 2 — Significant accounting policies
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (US GAAP), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates and those differences could be significant. The fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of Accounting Standards Codification of US GAAP.

Events or transactions occurring after the end of the fiscal period through the date that the financial statements were issued have been evaluated in the preparation of the financial statements. The following summarizes the significant accounting policies of the fund:

**Security valuation. Investments are stated at value as of the scheduled close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), normally at 4:00 P.M., Eastern Time. In case of emergency or other disruption resulting in the NYSE not opening for trading or the NYSE closing at a time other than the regularly scheduled close, the net asset value (NAV) may be determined as of the regularly scheduled close of the NYSE pursuant to the Valuation Policies and Procedures of the Advisor, John Hancock Investment Management LLC, the fund's valuation designee.**

In order to value the securities, the fund uses the following valuation techniques: Equity securities, including exchange-traded or closed-end funds, are typically valued at the last sale price or official closing price on the exchange or principal market where the security trades. In the event there were no sales during the day or closing prices are not available, the securities are valued using the last available bid price. Investments by the fund in open-end mutual funds, including John Hancock Collateral Trust (JHCT), are valued at their respective NAVs each business day. Foreign securities and currencies are valued in U.S. dollars based on foreign currency exchange rates supplied by an independent pricing vendor.

In certain instances, the Pricing Committee of the Advisor may determine to value equity securities using prices obtained from another exchange or market if trading on the exchange or market on which prices are typically obtained did not open for trading as scheduled, or if trading closed earlier than scheduled, and trading occurred as normal on another exchange or market.

Other portfolio securities and assets, for which reliable market quotations are not readily available, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The frequency with which these fair valuation procedures are used cannot be predicted and fair value of securities may differ significantly from the value that would have been used had a ready market for such securities existed. Trading in foreign securities may be completed before the scheduled daily close of trading on the NYSE. Significant events at the issuer or market level may affect the values of securities between the time when the valuation of the securities is generally determined and the close of the NYSE. If a significant event occurs, these securities may be fair valued, as determined in good faith by the Pricing Committee,

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_M_c7be51f0-95f5-41f1-b567-0f8cdcb53cb6_TofC)

following procedures established by the Advisor and adopted by the Board of Trustees. The Advisor uses fair value adjustment factors provided by an independent pricing vendor to value certain foreign securities in order to adjust for events that may occur between the close of foreign exchanges or markets and the close of the NYSE.

The fund uses a three tier hierarchy to prioritize the pricing assumptions, referred to as inputs, used in valuation techniques to measure fair value. Level 1 includes securities valued using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities, including registered investment companies. Level 2 includes securities valued using other significant observable inputs. Observable inputs may include quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk. Prices for securities valued using these inputs are received from independent pricing vendors and brokers and are based on an evaluation of the inputs described. Level 3 includes securities valued using significant unobservable inputs when market prices are not readily available or reliable, including the Advisor's assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. Factors used in determining value may include market or issuer specific events or trends, changes in interest rates and credit quality. The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investing in those securities. Changes in valuation techniques and related inputs may result in transfers into or out of an assigned level within the disclosure hierarchy.

The following is a summary of the values by input classification of the fund's investments as of March 31, 2026, by major security category or type:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|

| **Total investments in securities** | **$1144075120** | **$1141108095** | **—** | **$2967025** |

---

**Real estate investment trusts. The fund may invest in real estate investment trusts (REITs). Distributions from REITs may be recorded as income and subsequently characterized by the REIT at the end of their fiscal year as a reduction of cost of investments and/or as a realized gain. As a result, the fund will estimate the components of distributions from these securities. Such estimates are revised when the actual components of the distributions are known.**

**Security transactions and related investment income. Investment security transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily NAV calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Interest income is accrued as earned. Dividend income is recorded on ex-date, except for dividends of certain foreign securities where the dividend may not be known until after the ex-date. In those cases, dividend income, net of withholding taxes, is recorded when the fund becomes aware of the dividends. Non-cash dividends, if any, are recorded at the fair market value of the securities received. Gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost and may include proceeds from litigation.**

**Securities lending. The fund may lend its securities to earn additional income. The fund receives collateral from the borrower in an amount not less than the market value of the loaned securities. The fund may invest its cash collateral in JHCT, an affiliate of the fund, which has a floating NAV and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment company. JHCT is a government money market fund and invests in U.S. Government securities and/or repurchase agreements. The fund will receive the benefit of any gains and bear any losses generated by JHCT with respect to the cash collateral.**

[**Table of Contents**](#JOB_JHF_M_c7be51f0-95f5-41f1-b567-0f8cdcb53cb6_TofC)

The fund has the right to recall loaned securities on demand. If a borrower fails to return loaned securities when due, then the lending agent is responsible and indemnifies the fund for the lent securities. The lending agent uses the collateral received from the borrower to purchase replacement securities of the same issue, type, class and series of the loaned securities. If the value of the collateral is less than the purchase cost of replacement securities, the lending agent is responsible for satisfying the shortfall but only to the extent that the shortfall is not due to any decrease in the value of JHCT.

Although the risk of loss on securities lent is mitigated by receiving collateral from the borrower and through lending agent indemnification, the fund could experience a delay in recovering securities or could experience a lower than expected return if the borrower fails to return the securities on a timely basis. During the existence of the loan, the fund will receive from the borrower amounts equivalent to any dividends, interest or other distributions on the loaned securities, as well as interest on such amounts. The fund receives compensation for lending its securities by retaining a portion of the return on the investment of the collateral and compensation from fees earned from borrowers of the securities. Securities lending income received by the fund is net of fees retained by the securities lending agent. Net income received from JHCT is a component of securities lending income as recorded on the Statement of operations.

Obligations to repay collateral received by the fund are shown on the Statement of assets and liabilities as Payable upon return of securities loaned and are secured by the loaned securities. As of March 31, 2026, the fund loaned securities valued at $1,687,694 and received $1,726,150 of cash collateral.

**Foreign investing. Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate. Purchases and sales of securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the date of the transaction. The effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the value of securities is reflected as a component of the realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments. Foreign investments are subject to a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency.**

Funds that invest internationally generally carry more risk than funds that invest strictly in U.S. securities. Risks can result from differences in economic and political conditions, regulations, market practices (including higher transaction costs), accounting standards and other factors.

**Foreign taxes. The fund may be subject to withholding tax on income, capital gains or repatriations imposed by certain countries, a portion of which may be recoverable. Foreign taxes are accrued based upon the fund's understanding of the tax rules and rates that exist in the foreign markets in which it invests. Taxes are accrued based on gains realized by the fund as a result of certain foreign security sales. In certain circumstances, estimated taxes are accrued based on unrealized appreciation of such securities. Investment income is recorded net of foreign withholding taxes.**

**Overdraft. The fund may have the ability to borrow from banks for temporary or emergency purposes, including meeting redemption requests that otherwise might require the untimely sale of securities. Pursuant to the fund's custodian agreement, the custodian may loan money to the fund to make properly authorized payments. The fund is obligated to repay the custodian for any overdraft, including any related costs or expenses. The custodian may have a lien, security interest or security entitlement in any fund property that is not otherwise segregated or pledged, to the extent of any overdraft, and to the maximum extent permitted by law.**

**Line of credit. The fund and other affiliated funds have entered into a syndicated line of credit agreement with Citibank, N.A. as the administrative agent that enables them to participate in a $1 billion unsecured committed line of credit, which is in effect through July 13, 2026 unless extended or renewed. Excluding commitments designated for certain funds and subject to the needs of all other affiliated funds, the fund can borrow up to an aggregate commitment amount of $750 million, subject to asset coverage and other limitations as specified in the agreement. A commitment fee payable at the end of each calendar quarter, based on the average daily unused**

portion of the line of credit, is charged to each participating fund based on an asset-based allocation and is reflected in Other expenses on the Statement of operations. For the year ended March 31, 2026, the fund had no borrowings under the line of credit. Commitment fees for the year ended March 31, 2026 were $6,160.

**Expenses. Within the John Hancock group of funds complex, expenses that are directly attributable to an individual fund are allocated to such fund. Expenses that are not readily attributable to a specific fund are allocated among all funds in an equitable manner, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the fund's relative net assets. Expense estimates are accrued in the period to which they relate and adjustments are made when actual amounts are known.**

**Class allocations. Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains (losses) are determined at the fund level and allocated daily to each class of shares based on the net assets of the class. Class-specific expenses, such as distribution and service fees, if any, and transfer agent fees, for all classes, are charged daily at the class level based on the net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.**

**Federal income taxes. The fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.**

For federal income tax purposes, net capital losses of $12,799,851 that are a result of security transactions occurring after October 31, 2025, are treated as occurring on April 1, 2026, the first day of the fund's next taxable year.

Qualified late year ordinary losses of $1,512,313 are treated as occurring on April 1, 2026, the first day of the fund's next taxable year.

As of March 31, 2026, the fund had no uncertain tax positions that would require financial statement recognition, derecognition or disclosure. The fund's federal tax returns are subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service for a period of three years.

**Distribution of income and gains. Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-date. The fund generally declares and pays dividends annually. Capital gain distributions, if any, are typically distributed annually.**

The tax character of distributions for the years ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
|  | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2026** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**March 31, 2025** |
| Ordinary income | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$55385721 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— |
| Long-term capital gains | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;60498050 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;— |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$115883771** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$—** |

---

Distributions paid by the fund with respect to each class of shares are calculated in the same manner, at the same time and in the same amount, except for the effect of class level expenses that may be applied differently to each class. As of March 31, 2026, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis consisted of $55,573,470 of undistributed long-term capital gains.

Such distributions and distributable earnings, on a tax basis, if any, are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from US GAAP. Distributions in excess of tax basis earnings and profits, if any, are reported in the fund's financial statements as a return of capital.

Capital accounts within the financial statements are adjusted for permanent book-tax differences at fiscal year end. These adjustments have no impact on net assets or the results of operations. Temporary book-tax differences, if any, will reverse in a subsequent period. Book-tax differences are primarily attributable to net operating losses and wash sale loss deferrals.

#### Note 3 — Guarantees and indemnifications
Under the Trust's organizational documents, its Officers and Trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust, including the fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the fund enters into contracts with service providers that contain general indemnification clauses. The fund's maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the fund that have not yet occurred. The risk of material loss from such claims is considered remote.

#### Note 4 — Fees and transactions with affiliates
John Hancock Investment Management LLC (the Advisor) serves as investment advisor for the fund. John Hancock Investment Management Distributors LLC (the Distributor), an affiliate of the Advisor, serves as principal underwriter of the fund. The Advisor and the Distributor are indirect, principally owned subsidiaries of John Hancock Life Insurance Company (U.S.A.), which in turn is a subsidiary of Manulife Financial Corporation.

**Management fee. The fund has an investment management agreement with the Advisor under which the fund pays a daily management fee to the Advisor equivalent on an annual basis to the sum of: (a) 0.875% of the first $200 million of the fund's aggregate net assets; (b) 0.850% of the next $300 million of the fund's aggregate net assets; (c) 0.825% of the next $2.7 billion of the fund's aggregate net assets; (d) 0.800% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate net assets; (e) 0.775% of the next $500 million of the fund's aggregate net assets and (f) 0.755% of the fund's aggregate net assets in excess of $4.2 billion. Aggregate net assets include net assets of the fund and Mid Cap Growth Trust, a series of John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust. The Advisor has a subadvisory agreement with Wellington Management Company LLP. The fund is not responsible for payment of the subadvisory fees.**

The Advisor has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its management fee and/or reimburse expenses for certain funds of the John Hancock group of funds complex, including the fund (the participating portfolios). This waiver is based upon aggregate net assets of all the participating portfolios. The amount of the reimbursement is calculated daily and allocated among all the participating portfolios in proportion to the daily net assets of each fund. During the year ended March 31, 2026, this waiver amounted to 0.01% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2027, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

The Advisor has contractually agreed to reduce its management fee by an annual rate of 0.07% of the fund's average daily net assets. This agreement expires on July 31, 2026, unless renewed by mutual agreement of the fund and the Advisor based upon a determination that this is appropriate under the circumstances at that time.

For the year ended March 31, 2026, the expense reductions described above amounted to the following:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Expense reduction** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;$36916 |
| Class C | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;139 |
| Class I | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5672 |

| **Class** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**Expense reduction** |
| Class R6 | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;$200951 |
| Class NAV | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;726174 |
| **Total** | &nbsp;&nbsp;**$969852** |

---

Expenses waived or reimbursed in the current fiscal period are not subject to recapture in future fiscal periods.

The investment management fees, including the impact of the waivers and reimbursements as described above, incurred for the year ended March 31, 2026, were equivalent to a net annual effective rate of 0.76% of the fund's average daily net assets.

**Accounting and legal services. Pursuant to a service agreement, the fund reimburses the Advisor for all expenses associated with providing the administrative, financial, legal, compliance, accounting and recordkeeping services to the fund, including the preparation of all tax returns, periodic reports to shareholders and regulatory**

reports, among other services. These expenses are allocated to each share class based on its relative net assets at the time the expense was incurred. These accounting and legal services fees incurred, for the year ended March 31, 2026, amounted to an annual rate of 0.02% of the fund's average daily net assets.

**Distribution and service plans. The fund has a distribution agreement with the Distributor. The fund has adopted distribution and service plans for certain classes as detailed below pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act, to pay the Distributor for services provided as the distributor of shares of the fund. The fund may pay up to the following contractual rates of distribution and service fees under these arrangements, expressed as an annual percentage of average daily net assets for each class of the fund's shares:**

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| **Class** | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Rule 12b-1 Fee** |
| Class A | &nbsp;&nbsp;0.25% |
| Class C | &nbsp;&nbsp;1.00% |

---

**Sales charges. Class A shares are assessed up-front sales charges, which resulted in payments to the Distributor amounting to $3,077 for the year ended March 31, 2026. Of this amount, $578 was retained and used for printing prospectuses, advertising, sales literature and other purposes and $2,499 was paid as sales commissions to broker-dealers.**

Class A and Class C shares may be subject to contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs). Certain Class A shares purchased, including those that are acquired through purchases of $1 million or more, and redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. Class C shares that are redeemed within one year of purchase are subject to a 1.00% CDSC. CDSCs are applied to the lesser of the current market value at the time of redemption or the original purchase cost of the shares being redeemed.

**Transfer agent fees. The John Hancock group of funds has a complex-wide transfer agent agreement with John Hancock Signature Services, Inc. (Signature Services), an affiliate of the Advisor. The transfer agent fees paid to Signature Services are determined based on the cost to Signature Services (Signature Services Cost) of providing recordkeeping services. It also includes out-of-pocket expenses, including payments made to third-parties for recordkeeping services provided to their clients who invest in one or more John Hancock funds. In addition, Signature Services Cost may be reduced by certain fees that Signature Services receives in connection with retirement and small accounts. Signature Services Cost is calculated monthly and allocated, as applicable, to three categories of share classes: Retail Share Classes of Non-Municipal Bond Funds, Retirement Share Classes and Retail Share Classes of Municipal Bond Funds. Within each of these categories, the applicable costs are allocated to the affected John Hancock affiliated funds and/or classes, based on the relative average daily net assets.**

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities, including the fund's investments, of John Hancock Mid Cap Growth Fund (one of the funds constituting John Hancock Investment Trust, referred to hereafter as the "Fund") as of March 31, 2026, the related statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2026, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period ended March 31, 2026, including the related notes, and the financial highlights for each of the periods indicated therein (collectively referred to as the "financial statements").

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits of these financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2026 by correspondence with the custodian, transfer agents and brokers; when replies were not received from brokers.

**I.Covered Officers/Purpose of the Code**

This code of ethics (this "Code") for John Hancock Variable Insurance Trust, John Hancock Funds[<sup>1</sup>](#divc8a84bc2-5f1c-4ec9-9806-396e06d1c144), and John Hancock Funds II, John Hancock Exchange-Traded Fund Trust and, each a registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended ("1940 Act"), which may issue shares in separate and distinct series (each investment company and series thereunder to be hereinafter referred to as a "Fund"), applies to each Fund's Principal Executive Officer ("President"), Principal Financial Officer ("Chief Financial Officer") and Treasurer ("Treasurer") (the "Covered Officers" as set forth in <u>Exhibit A</u>) for the purpose of promoting:

****honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships;

****full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Fund files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and in other public communications made by the Fund;

****compliance with applicable laws and governmental rules and regulations;

****the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code; and

****accountability for adherence to the Code.

1John Hancock Funds includes the following trusts: John Hancock Financial Opportunities Fund; John Hancock Bond Trust; John Hancock California Tax-Free Income Fund; John Hancock Capital Series; John Hancock Funds III; John Hancock Income Securities Trust; John Hancock Investment Trust; John Hancock Investment Trust II; John Hancock Investors Trust; John Hancock Municipal Securities Trust; John Hancock Premium Dividend Fund ; John Hancock Preferred Income Fund; John Hancock Preferred Income Fund II; John Hancock Preferred Income Fund III; John Hancock Sovereign Bond Fund; John Hancock Strategic Series; John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Dividend Income Fund; John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Global Shareholder Yield Fund; John Hancock Hedged Equity and Income Fund; and John Hancock Collateral Trust.

Each of the Covered Officers should adhere to a high standard of business ethics and should be sensitive to situations that may give rise to actual as well as apparent conflicts of interest.

**II.Covered Officers Should Handle Ethically Actual and Apparent Conflicts of Interest Overview**

A "conflict of interest" occurs when a Covered Officer's private interest interferes with the interests of, or his service to, the Fund. For example, a conflict of interest would arise if a Covered Officer, or a member of his family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his position with the Fund. Certain conflicts of interest arise out of the relationships between the Covered Officers and the Fund and already are subject to conflict of interest provisions in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act") and the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"). For example, Covered Officers may not individually engage in certain transactions (such as the purchase or sale of securities or other property) with the Fund because of their status as "affiliated persons" of the Fund. Each of the Covered Officers is an officer or employee of the investment adviser or a service provider ("Service Provider") to the Fund. The Fund's, the investment adviser's and the Service Provider's compliance programs and procedures are designed to prevent, or identify and correct, violations of these provisions. This Code does not, and is not intended to, repeat or replace these programs and procedures, and such conflicts fall outside of the parameters of this Code.

Although typically not presenting an opportunity for improper personal benefit, conflicts arise from, or as a result of, the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider of which the Covered Officers are also officers or employees. As a result, this Code recognizes that the Covered Officers will, in the normal course of their duties (whether formally for the Fund, for the investment adviser or for the Service Provider), be involved in establishing policies and implementing decisions which will have different effects on the investment adviser, the Service Provider and the Fund. The participation of the Covered Officers in such activities is inherent in the contractual relationship between the Fund and the investment adviser and the Service Provider and is consistent with the performance by the Covered Officers of their duties as officers of the Fund. Thus, if such participation is performed in conformity with the provisions of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act, it will be deemed to have been handled ethically. In addition, it is recognized by the Fund's Board of Trustees/Directors (the "Board") that the Covered Officers may also be officers or employees of one or more other investment companies covered by other Codes.

Other conflicts of interest are covered by the Code, even if such conflicts of interest are not subject to provisions in the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisers Act. The following list provides examples of conflicts of interest under the Code, but the Covered Officers should keep in mind that these examples are not exhaustive. The overarching principle is that the personal interest of a Covered Officer should not be placed improperly before the interest of the Fund.

\* \* \*

Each Covered Officer must:

****not use his/her personal influence or personal relationships improperly to influence investment decisions or financial reporting by the Fund whereby the Covered Officer would benefit personally to the detriment of the Fund;

****not cause the Fund to take action, or fail to take action, for the individual personal benefit of the Covered Officer rather than for the benefit of the Fund; and

****not use material non-public knowledge of portfolio transactions made or contemplated for the Fund to trade personally or cause others to trade personally in contemplation of the market effect of such transactions.

Additionally, conflicts of interest may arise in other situations, the propriety of which may be discussed, if material, with the Fund's Chief Compliance Officer ("CCO"). Examples of these include:

****serve as a director/trustee on the board of any public or private company;

****the receipt of any non-nominal gifts;

****the receipt of any entertainment from any company with which the Fund has current or prospective business dealings unless such entertainment is business-related, reasonable in cost, appropriate as to time and place, and not so frequent as to raise any question of impropriety (or other formulation as the Fund already uses in another code of conduct);

****any ownership interest in, or any consulting or employment relationship with, any of the Fund's service providers, other than its investment adviser, any sub-adviser, principal underwriter, administrator or any affiliated person thereof; and

****a direct or indirect financial interest in commissions, transaction charges or spreads paid by the Fund for effecting portfolio transactions or for selling or redeeming shares other than an interest arising from the Covered Officer's employment, such as compensation or equity ownership.

**III.Disclosure & Compliance**

****Each Covered Officer should familiarize himself or herself with the disclosure requirements generally applicable to the Fund;

****Each Covered Officer should not knowingly misrepresent, or cause others to misrepresent, facts about the Fund to others, whether within or outside the Fund, including to the Fund's directors and auditors, and to governmental regulators and self- regulatory organizations;

****Each Covered Officer should, to the extent appropriate within his/her area of responsibility, consult with other officers and employees of the Fund and the Fund's adviser or any sub-adviser with the goal of promoting full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in the reports and documents the Fund files with, or submits to, the SEC and in other public communications made by the Fund; and

****It is the responsibility of each Covered Officer to promote compliance with the standards and restrictions imposed by applicable laws, rules and regulations.

IV. Reporting & Accountability

Each Covered Officer must:

****upon adoption of the Code (or thereafter as applicable, upon becoming an Covered Officer), affirm in writing to the Fund's CCO that he/she has received, read, and understands the Code;

****annually thereafter affirm to the Fund's CCO that he/she has complied with the requirements of the Code;

****not retaliate against any employee or Covered Officer or their affiliated persons for reports of potential violations that are made in good faith;

****notify the Fund's CCO promptly if he/she knows of any violation of this Code (Note: failure to do so is itself a violation of this Code); and

****report at least annually any change in his/her affiliations from the prior year.

The Fund's CCO is responsible for applying this Code to specific situations in which questions are presented under it and has the authority to interpret this Code in any particular situation. However, any approvals or waivers sought by the Principal Executive Officer will be considered by the Fund's Board or the Compliance Committee thereof (the "Committee").

The Fund will follow these procedures in investigating and enforcing this Code:

****the Fund's CCO will take all appropriate action to investigate any potential violations reported to him/her;

****if, after such investigation, the CCO believes that no violation has occurred, the CCO is not required to take any further action;

****any matter that the CCO believes is a violation will be reported to the Board or, if applicable, Compliance Committee;

****if the Board or, if applicable, Compliance Committee concurs that a violation has occurred, the Board, either upon its determination of a violation or upon

recommendation of the Compliance Committee, if applicable, will consider appropriate action, which may include review of, and appropriate modifications to, applicable policies and procedures; notification to appropriate personnel of the Service Provider or the investment adviser or its board; or a recommendation to dismiss the Registrant's Executive Officer;

****the Board, or if applicable the Compliance Committee, will be responsible for granting waivers, as appropriate; and

****any changes to or waivers of this Code will, to the extent required, be disclosed as provided by SEC rules.

**V.Other Policies & Procedures**

This Code shall be the sole code of ethics adopted by the Fund for purposes of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the rules and forms applicable to registered investment companies thereunder. Insofar as other policies or procedures of the Fund, the Fund's adviser, any sub- adviser, principal underwriter or other service providers govern or purport to govern the behavior or activities of the Covered Officers who are subject to this Code, they are superseded by this Code to the extent that they overlap or conflict with the provisions of this Code. The Fund's and its investment adviser's codes of ethics under Rule 204A-1 under the Investment Advisers Act and Rule 17j-1 under the Investment Company Act, respectively, are separate requirements applying to the Covered Officers and others and are not part of this Code.

VI. Amendments

Any amendments to this Code, other than amendments to Exhibit A, must be approved or ratified by a majority vote of the Fund's Board, including a majority of independent directors.

VII. Confidentiality

All reports and records prepared or maintained pursuant to this Code will be considered confidential and shall be maintained and protected accordingly. Except as otherwise required by law or this Code, such matters shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the Fund's Board and its counsel, the investment adviser and the relevant Service Providers.

VIII. Internal Use

The Code is intended solely for the internal use by the Fund and does not constitute an admission, by or on behalf of the Fund, as to any fact, circumstance, or legal conclusion.
