Re: Financial Strength
Insuring Company: FEDERAL INSURANCE COMPANY

Dear JOHN HANCOCK FUNDS

Chubb continues to deliver strong financial performance. Our financial strength, as reflected in our
published reports and our ratings, should give you peace of mind that Chubb will be there for you when
you need us most.
o	Chubb's financial results during 2009 stand out in the industry.
o	Chubb's balance sheet is backed with investments that we believe emphasize quality, safety, and
	liquidity, with total invested assets of $42.0 billion as of September 30, 2009.
o	With 127 years in the business, Chubb is here for the long term, which is why we vigorously
	guard our financial strength and take what we believe is a prudent approach to assuming risk -on
	both the asset and liability sides of our balance sheet.
o	Chubb is one of the most highly rated property and casualty companies in the industry, which is a
	reflection of our overall quality, strong financial condition, and strong capital position.
o Chubb's financial strength rating is "A++" from A.M. Best Company, "AA" from
Fitch, "Aa2" from Moody's, and "AA" from Standard & Poor's - the leading
	independent evaluators of the insurance industry. o Chubb's senior unsecured corporate
	debt rating from Standard & Poor's was
upgraded from "A" to "A+" on December 15, 2008. Standard & Poor's also
	reaffirmed all of Chubb's ratings with a "stable" outlook o A.M. Best, Fitch, and Moody's
	recently affirmed all of Chubb's ratings with a
	"stable" outlook. (For reference, A.M. Best reaffirmed us on 12/23/08, Moody's on
	2/4/09, and Fitch on 2/13/09.) o For more than 50 years, Chubb has remained part of an
	elite group of insurers
	that have maintained A.M. Best's highest ratings.
o	Chubb was named to Standard & Poor's list of S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, one of 52
	companies in the S&P 500 index that have increased dividends every year for at least 25
	consecutive years.
o	Chubb's investment portfolio has held up extremely well. Chubb takes what we believe is a
	conservative approach to selecting and managing our assets. Furthermore, Chubb does not have
	any direct exposure to the subprime mortgage-backed securities market, and we stopped doing
	new credit derivative business in 2003 and put existing business in runoff.

Rarely has Chubb's business philosophy - to underwrite conservatively and invest judiciously -been more
important than it is today. By adhering to this philosophy, we now have the capacity and flexibility to
respond to opportunities, especially when you engage us in fully understanding your business risks.

We want you to know that Chubb is well-positioned to continue serving your needs with our underwriting
expertise; broad underwriting appetite across all property, casualty, and specialty lines; and claim
services. If you have any questions, feel free to call your agent or broker or your local Chubb underwriter.
As always, we appreciate the trust you place is us as your insurance partner.

99-10-0100 (12/2009)

Important Notice:

The SEC Requires Proof of Your Fidelity Insurance Policy

Your company is now required to file an electronic copy of your fidelity insurance coverage (Chubb's ICAP Bond policy) to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), according to rules adopted by the SEC on June 12, 2006.

Chubb is in the process of providing your agent/broker with an electronic copy of your insurance policy as well as instructions on how to submit this proof of fidelity insurance coverage to the SEC. You can expect to receive this information from your agent/broker shortly.

The electronic copy of your policy is provided by Chubb solely as a convenience and does not affect the terms and conditions of coverage as set forth in the paper policy you receive by mail. The terms and conditions of the policy mailed to you, which are the same as those set forth in the electronic copy, constitute the entire agreement between your company and Chubb.

If you have any questions, please contact your agent or broker.

POLICYHOLDER DISCLOSURE NOTICE OF

TERRORISM INSURANCE COVERAGE

(for policies with no terrorism exclusion or sublimit)

You are hereby notified that, under the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (the "Act"), effective December 26, 2007, this policy makes available to you insurance for losses arising out of certain acts of terrorism. Terrorism is defined as any act certified by the Secretary of the Treasury, in concurrence with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General of the United States, to be an act of terrorism; to be a violent act or an act that is dangerous to human life, property or infrastructure; to have resulted in damage within the United States, or outside the United States in the case of an air carrier or vessel or the premises of a United States Mission; and to have been committed by an individual or individuals as part of an effort to coerce the civilian population of the United States or to influence the policy or affect the conduct of the United States Government by coercion.

You should know that the insurance provided by your policy for losses caused by acts of terrorism is partially reimbursed by the United States under the formula set forth in the Act. Under this formula, the United States pays 85% of covered terrorism losses that exceed the statutorily established deductible to be paid by the insurance company providing the coverage.

However, if aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed $100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31), the Treasury shall not make any payment for any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion.

10-02-1281 (Ed. 1/2003)

If aggregate insured losses attributable to terrorist acts certified under the Act exceed $100 billion in a Program Year (January 1 through December 31) and we have met our insurer deductible under the Act, we shall not be liable for the payment of any portion of the amount of such losses that exceeds $100 billion, and in such case insured losses up to that amount are subject to pro rata allocation in accordance with procedures established by the Secretary of the Treasury.

The portion of your policy's annual premium that is attributable to insurance for such acts of terrorism is: $

-0-.

If you have any questions about this notice, please contact your agent or broker.

NOTICE

ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (“Underwriter”), in consideration of the required premium, and in reliance on the application and all other information furnished to the Underwriter by the Insured, and subject to and in accordance with the Declarations, General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations of this bond, agrees to indemnify the Insured for loss, discovered during the Bond Period, which would otherwise have been paid under the Primary Bond but for the fact that the loss exceeds the limit of liability of such Primary Bond. Coverage under this bond shall follow the terms and conditions of the Primary Bond, except with respect to:

a. Any coverage exceptions specified by riders attached to this bond;

b. The deductible amounts and limits of liability as stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations and;

c. The General Agreements, Provisions, Conditions and Limitations set forth herein.

GENERAL AGREEMENTS

A. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION OF PRIMARY BOND

If after the inception date of this bond the Primary Bond is changed or modified, written notice of any such change or modification shall be given to the Underwriter as soon as practicable, not to exceed thirty (30) days after such change or modification, together with such information as the Underwriter may request. There shall be no coverage under this bond for any loss arising from or in any way related to such change or modification until such time as the Underwriter is advised of and specifically agrees by written endorsement to provide coverage for such change or modification.

B. LOSS--NOTICE--PROOF--LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

This Bond is for the use and benefit only of the Insured and the Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss sustained by anyone other than the Insured (except that if the Insured includes such other loss in the Insured's proof of loss, the Underwriter shall consider its liability therefor.) As soon as practicable and not more than sixty (60) days after discovery of any loss covered hereunder, the Insured shall give the Underwriter written notice thereof and, as soon as practicable and within one year after such discovery, shall also furnish to the Underwriter affirmative proof of loss with full particulars. The Underwriter may extend the sixty day notice period or the one year proof of loss period if the Insured requests an extension and shows good cause therefor.

The Underwriter shall not be liable hereunder for loss of Securities unless each of the Securities is identified in such proof of loss by a certificate or bond number or by such identification means as the Underwriter may require. The Underwriter shall have a reasonable period after receipt of a proper affirmative proof of loss within which to investigate the claim, but where the loss is of Securities and is clear and undisputed, settlement shall be made within forty-eight (48) hours even if the loss involves Securities of which duplicates may be obtained.

The Insured shall not bring legal proceedings against the Underwriter to recover any loss hereunder prior to sixty (60) days after filing such proof of loss or subsequent to twenty-four (24) months after the discovery of such loss or, in the case of a legal proceeding to recover hereunder on account of any judgment against the Insured in or settlement of any suit or to recover court costs or attorneys' fees paid in any such suit, twenty-four (24) months after the date of the final judgment in or settlement of

such suit. If any limitation in this bond is prohibited by any applicable law, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended to be equal to the minimum period of limitation permitted by such law.

Notice hereunder shall be given to Manager, Professional Liability Claims, ICI Mutual Insurance Company, 1401 H St. NW, Washington, DC 20005.

PROVISIONS, CONDITIONS AND LIMITATIONS

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS

a. Deductible Amount means the amount stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations, applicable to each Single Loss. In no event shall this Deductible Amount be reduced for any reason, including but not limited to, the non-existence, invalidity, insufficiency or uncollectibility of any Underlying Bond(s), including the insolvency or dissolution of any Insurer providing coverage under any Underlying Bond(s).

b. Primary Bond means the bond scheduled in ITEM 5. of the Declarations or any bond that may replace or substitute for such bond.

c. Single Loss means:

(1) all loss resulting from any one actual or attempted theft committed by one person, or

(2) all loss caused by any one act (other than a theft or a dishonest or fraudulent act) committed by
one person, or

(3) all loss caused by dishonest or fraudulent acts committed by one person, or

(4) all expenses incurred with respect to any one audit or examination, or

(5) all loss caused by any one occurrence or event other than those specified in subsections (1)
through (4) above.

d. Underlying Bond means the Primary Bond and all other insurance coverage referred to in ITEM 4. Of the Declarations.

SECTION 2. SINGLE LOSS LIMIT OF LIABILITY

The Underwriter’s liability for each Single Loss shall not exceed the Limit of Liability as stated in ITEM 3. of the Declarations.

SECTION 3. DISCOVERY

For all purposes under this bond, a loss is discovered, and discovery of a loss occurs, when the Insured

(1) becomes aware of facts, or

(2) receives notice of an actual or potential claim by a third party which alleges that the Insured is
liable under circumstances, which would cause a reasonable person to assume that loss covered
by this bond has been or is likely to be incurred even though the exact amount or details of loss
may not be known.

SECTION 4. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS

Upon payment to the Insured hereunder for any loss, the Underwriter shall be subrogated to the extent of such payment to all of the Insured's rights and claims in connection with such loss; provided,

however, that the Underwriter shall not be subrogated to any such rights or claims one named Insured under this bond may have against another named Insured under this bond. At the request of the Underwriter, the Insured shall execute all assignments or other documents and take such action as the Underwriter may deem necessary or desirable to secure and perfect such rights and claims, including the execution of documents necessary to enable the Underwriter to bring suit in the name of the Insured.

Assignment of any rights or claims under this bond shall not bind the Underwriter without the Underwriter's written consent.

SECTION 5. COOPERATION OF INSURED

At the Underwriter’s request and at reasonable times and places designated by the Underwriter the Insured shall:

a.	submit to examination by the Underwriter and subscribe to the same under oath, and
b.	produce for the Underwriter’s examination all pertinent records, and
c.	cooperate with the Underwriter in all matters pertaining to the loss.

The Insured shall execute all papers and render assistance to secure for the Underwriter the rights and causes of action provided for under this bond. The Insured shall do nothing after loss to prejudice such rights or causes of action.

SECTION 6. TERMINATION

The Underwriter may terminate this bond as to any Insured or all Insureds only by written notice to such Insured or Insureds and, if this bond is terminated as to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to each such investment company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice.

The Insured may terminate this bond only by written notice to the Underwriter not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of the termination specified in such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the Insured terminates this bond as to any investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the effective date of termination shall be not less than sixty (60) days from the date the Underwriter provides written notice of the termination to each such investment company terminated thereby and to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C.

This bond will terminate as to any Insured entity that is not an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 immediately and without notice upon (1) the takeover of such Insured's business by any State or Federal official or agency, or by any receiver or liquidator, or (2) the filing of a petition under any State or Federal statute relative to bankruptcy or reorganization of the Insured, or assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Insured.

Premiums are earned until the effective date of termination. The Underwriter shall refund the unearned premium computed at short rates in accordance with the Underwriter's standard short rate cancellation tables if this bond is terminated by the Insured or pro rata if this bond is terminated by the Underwriter.

Upon the detection by any Insured that an employee (as defined in the Primary Bond) has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft, the Insured shall immediately remove such employee from a position that may enable such employee to cause the Insured to suffer a loss by any

subsequent dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft. The Insured, within two (2) business days of such detection, shall notify the Underwriter with full and complete particulars of the detected dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft.

For purposes of this section, detection occurs when any partner, officer, or supervisory employee of any Insured, who is not in collusion with such employee, becomes aware that the employee has committed any dishonest or fraudulent act(s) or theft.

This bond shall terminate as to any employee (as defined in the Primary Bond) by written notice from the Underwriter to each Insured and, if such employee is an employee of an Insured investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, to the Securities and Exchange Commission, in all cases not less than sixty (60) days prior to the effective date of termination specified in such notice.

SECTION 7. CONFORMITY

If any limitation within this bond is prohibited by any law controlling this bond’s construction, such limitation shall be deemed to be amended so as to equal the minimum period of limitation provided by such law.

SECTION 8. CHANGE OR MODIFICATION

This bond may only be modified by written Rider forming a part hereof over the signature of the Underwriter's authorized representative. Any Rider which modifies the coverage provided by Insuring Agreement A, Fidelity (or the equivalent insuring agreement) of the Primary Bond in a manner which adversely affects the rights of an Insured investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 shall not become effective until at least sixty (60) days after the Underwriter has given written notice thereof to the Securities and Exchange Commission, Washington, D.C., and to each Insured investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 affected thereby.

SECTION 9. DEDUCTIBLE AMOUNT; LIMIT OF LIABILITY

The Underwriter shall not be liable under any Insuring Agreement unless the amount of the loss covered thereunder, after deducting the net amount of all reimbursement and/or recovery received by the Insured with respect to such loss (other than from the Primary Bond or from any other bond, suretyship or insurance policy), shall exceed the applicable Deductible Amount; in such case the Underwriter shall be liable only for such excess, subject to the applicable Limit of Liability and other agreements, provisions, conditions and limitations of this bond.

The maximum liability of the Underwriter for any Single Loss covered by any Insuring Agreement under this bond shall be the Limit of Liability applicable to such Insuring Agreement, subject to the applicable Deductible Amount and the other agreements, provisions, conditions and limitations of this bond.

Most property and casualty insurers, including ICI Mutual Insurance Company, a Risk Retention Group (“ICI Mutual”), are subject to the requirements of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended (the “Act”). The Act establishes a Federal insurance backstop under which ICI Mutual and these other insurers will be partially reimbursed for future “insured losses” resulting from certified “acts of terrorism.” (Each of these bolded terms is defined by the Act.) The Act also places certain disclosure and other obligations on ICI Mutual and these other insurers.

Pursuant to the Act, any future losses to ICI Mutual caused by certified “acts of terrorism” will be partially reimbursed by the United States government under a formula established by the Act. Under this formula, the United States government will reimburse ICI Mutual for 90% of ICI Mutual’s “insured losses” in excess of a statutorily established deductible until total insured losses of all participating insurers reach $100 billion. If total “insured losses” of all property and casualty insurers reach $100 billion during any applicable period, the Act provides that the insurers will not be liable under their policies for their portions of such losses that exceed such amount. Amounts otherwise payable under this bond may be reduced as a result.

Coverage under this bond remains subject to all applicable terms, conditions and limitations of the bond (including exclusions) that are permissible under the Act. The portion of the premium that is attributable to any coverage potentially available under the bond for “acts of terrorism” is one percent (1%).
