                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

     Know all by these  presents,  that the undersigned  hereby  constitutes and
appoints  each of Susan S.  Newton  and  Avery P.  Maher,  signing  singly,  the
undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

      (1) execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the undersigned's
          capacity as an officer and/or director of John Hancock  Advisers,  LLC
          (the "Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 in accordance with Section 16(a) of
          the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules thereunder;

      (2) do and  perform  any  and  all  acts  for  and  on  behalf  of the
          undersigned  which may be  necessary  or  desirable  to  complete  and
          execute any such Form 3, 4, or 5,  complete and execute any  amendment
          or  amendments  thereto,  and  timely  file such form with the  United
          States  Securities  and Exchange  Commission and any stock exchange or
          similar authority; and

      (3) take any other action of any type  whatsoever in  connection  with
          the foregoing which, in the opinion of such  attorney-in-fact,  may be
          of benefit to, in the best  interest  of, or legally  required by, the
          undersigned,  it being understood that the documents  executed by such
          attorney-in-fact  on behalf of the undersigned  pursuant to this Power
          of  Attorney  shall be in such form and shall  contain  such terms and
          conditions   as   such    attorney-in-fact   may   approve   in   such
          attorney-in-fact's discretion.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such  attorney-in-fact full power and
authority  to do and perform any and every act and thing  whatsoever  requisite,
necessary,  or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
could do if personally  present,  with full power of substitution or revocation,
hereby  ratifying  and  confirming  all  that  such  attorney-in-fact,  or  such
attorney-in-fact's  substitute or substitutes,  shall lawfully do or cause to be
done by virtue of this  power of  attorney  and the  rights  and  powers  herein
granted. The undersigned acknowledges that the foregoing  attorneys-in-fact,  in
serving in such  capacity at the request of the  undersigned,  are not assuming,
nor is the Company assuming, any of the undersigned's responsibilities to comply
with Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     This Power of  Attorney  shall  remain in full  force and effect  until the
undersigned is no longer  required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's  holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the  undersigned in a signed writing  delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 31ST day of July, 2003.
