<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>To Our Shareholders,</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The future has arrived at John Hancock Funds.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>We have always been firm believers in the powerful role the Internet can play in providing fund information to our shareholders and prospective investors. Recently, we launched a redesigned, completely overhauled Web site that is more visually pleasing, easier to navigate and, most importantly, provides more fund information and learning tools without overwhelming the user.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Not long after we embarked on this major project, a study was released by the Investment Company Institute, the mutual fund industry&#146;s main trade group, which found that an overwhelming majority of shareholders consider the Internet the &#147;wave of the future&#148; for accessing fund information.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Our new site sports fresher and faster ways to access account information. New innovations allow investors to view funds by risk level, track the performance of the John Hancock funds of their choice or sort funds by Morningstar, Inc.&#146;s star ratings. Investors who own a John Hancock fund through a qualified retirement plan and don&#146;t pay sales charges when making a purchase have the option of sorting by a &#147;Load Waived&#148; Morningstar Rating, thereby creating an apples-to-apples comparison with no-load funds that may also be available in their retirement plan. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The new site also has more educational tools and interactive modules to educate and assist investors with their financial goals, from college savings to retirement planning. A new &#147;</FONT><I><FONT face=serif size=2>I want to</FONT></I><FONT face=serif size=2>&#133;&#148; feature allows investors to check performance, invest more money, update personal information or download prospectuses and forms quickly and easily. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>In another of our ongoing efforts to provide our shareholders with top-notch service, we also redesigned our shareholder reports, as you may have noticed with this report. We hope the larger size, more colorful cover and redesigned presentation of the commentary and data tables will draw you in and make them easier to read.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>After you&#146;ve read your shareholder report, we encourage you to visit our new Web site &#151; www.jhfunds.com &#151; and take a tour. It&#146;s easy, fast and fun and allows you to be in control of what you see and do. In short, it&#146;s the wave of the future!</FONT></P>

<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Preferred stocks and utility common stocks &#151; the two primary areas of emphasis for John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II &#151; posted solid gains for the 12-month period ended October 31, 2006.</FONT></B> <FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The period began on a weak note, as a bout of profit-taking hurt both segments. Conditions improved significantly from December 2005 through February 2006 as signs of a slowing economy bolstered hopes that the Federal Reserve Board would soon stop raising interest rates. Because preferreds and utility commons typically make fixed income payments in the form of dividends, their prices generally are sensitive to interest rate movements.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>From March through June, fixed income investments performed poorly, hurt by news of strong economic growth and mounting inflation pressures, which in turn fueled concerns about more rate hikes. During that period, preferreds also were forced to contend with a glut of new issuance, which typically came to market with higher yields than already-outstanding securities, making older issues less attractive and putting pressure on their prices. By August, preferreds and utility commons rallied strongly, bolstered by renewed optimism that the Fed would hold interest rates steady, which it did on August 8, 2006. Against that backdrop, preferred stocks that offered a certain tax advantage known as the dividends received deduction (DRD) outpaced those without the tax benefit.

The difference in the Fund&#146;s net asset value (NAV) performance and its market performance stems from the fact that the market share price is subject to the dynamics of secondary market trading, which could cause it to trade at a discount or premium to the Fund&#146;s NAV share price at any time. The Fund&#146;s yield at closing </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>market price on October 31, 2006 was 5.12% . By comparison, the average closed-end specialty/utilities fund returned 21.14% at net asset value, according to Morningstar, Inc. For the same 12-month period, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index gained 5.19%, the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock DRD Index rose 9.04% and the S&amp;P 400 Mid-Cap Utilities Index returned 18.97% .</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>was Alliant Energy Corp., pushed higher by renewed investor interest after the company decided to resume growing its dividend, to rid itself of money-losing foreign investments and to renew its focus on core regulated utility businesses. National Fuel Gas Co. also performed well, thanks in large part to strong pricing conditions for natural gas. Kinder Morgan, Inc. also helped boost returns, soaring on news that the company&#146;s senior management and co-founder were teaming up to take the major energy pipeline company private in a deal that would be one of the largest management buyouts in history. Two of our telecommunications holdings &#151; AT&amp;T, Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. &#151; also fared well due to growing recognition that these companies&#146; stocks provided attractive dividend yields, that their respective mergers were working and that they were gaining market share in the broadband and wireless segments.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Among our preferred holdings, we enjoyed strong performance from PNM Resources, Inc., a New Mexico electric utility. It was helped by the company&#146;s move to reopen one of its nuclear plants that had been shut down due to mechanical problems. Our holdings in MetLife, Inc. also served us well, aided by strong demand for DRD-eligible preferreds. Bank of America Corp. preferred holdings, which we purchased very recently, also enjoyed a strong performance, helped by investor demand for attractively priced tax-advantaged preferred stocks issued by high-quality companies amid a dearth of such securities. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>In contrast, high-quality companies that didn&#146;t offer the DRD tax advantage and carried a dividend yield lower than that of newly issued preferred stocks proved to be our biggest disappointments during the year, languishing amid a lack of investor interest. Even high-quality holdings such as Georgia Power Co. and Baltimore Gas &amp; Electric Co. languished because they couldn&#146;t buck investors&#146; growing preference for higher-yielding, tax-advantaged preferred stocks.</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Federal Reserve Board&#146;s 17 quarter-point interest rate increases since June 2004 have significantly increased the Fund&#146;s leverage costs, reducing the income available to the common shareholders.

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>issuance has weighed heavily on our existing preferreds. With many of our higher-yielding preferred securities being called, the Fund has been forced to reinvest the proceeds at lower yields. In order to maintain our approach of only paying dividends from income generated by underlying securities within the portfolio, the Fund&#146;s dividend has been reduced. </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>We believe this is necessary at this time to avoid a return of capital. We declared a new monthly dividend on July 3, 2006. The new dividend amount of $0.0480 per share equates to an annualized yield of 5.12%, based on the Fund&#146;s closing market price as of October 31, 2006.</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>At the end of the period, the bond market was pricing in at least two rate cuts by mid-2007. While we agree with the notion that the Fed&#146;s next move will be to lower rates, rather than raise them further, we believe that such action will come later than the market currently antici</FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>pates. For that reason, we believe the Treasury market could be due for a sell off amid any signs of economic strength, which likely would weigh on preferred and utility common stocks as well over the short term. Over the longer term, we remain quite optimistic that gradually slowing economic conditions will bode well for fixed income investments, including </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>preferred and utility common stocks. We also believe that long-term demand &#151; driven by the baby boom generation&#146;s increasing need for income-producing investments &#151; will continue to provide support for</FONT><FONT face=sans-serif> </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>

<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>The Fund normally will invest at least 25% of its managed assets in securities of companies in the utilities industry.

<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Note 1 Accounting policies</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II (the &#147;Fund&#148;) is a diversified closed-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Significant accounting policies of the Fund are as follows:</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Valuation of investments</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Securities in the Fund&#146;s portfolio are valued on the basis of market quotations, valuations provided by independent pricing services or at fair value as determined in good faith in accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees. Short-term debt investments which have a remaining maturity of 60 days or less may be valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. The Fund determines the net asset value of the common shares each business day. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Investment transactions </FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Investment transactions are accounted for on a trade date plus one basis for daily net asset value calculations. However, for financial reporting purposes, investment transactions are reported on trade date. Net realized gains and losses on sales of investments are determined on the identified cost basis. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Expenses </FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The majority of expenses are directly identifiable to an individual fund. Expenses that are not readily identifiable to a specific fund are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration, among other things, the nature and type of expense and the relative size of the funds.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Federal income taxes</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Fund qualifies as a &#147;regulated investment company&#148; by complying with the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will not be subject to federal income tax on </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>taxable income that is distributed to sharehold ers. Therefore, no federal income tax provision is required.

supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit, which
included confirmation of securities as of October 31, 2006 by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. The statement of changes in net assets of the Fund for the year ended October, 31 2005, and the

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Fund&#146;s investment objective is to provide a high current income consistent with modest growth of capital for holders of its common shares of beneficial interest. The Fund will pursue its objective by investing in a diversified portfolio of dividend paying preferred and common stocks.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Fund&#146;s nonfundamental investment policy, with respect to the quality of ratings of its portfolio investments, was changed by a vote of the Fund&#146;s Trustees on September 13, 1994. The policy, which became effective October 15, 1994, stipulates that preferred stocks and debt obligations in which the Fund will invest will be rated investment grade (at least &#147;BBB&#148; by S&amp;P or &#147;Baa&#148; by Moody&#146;s) at the time of investment or will be preferred stocks of issuers of investment grade senior debt, some of which may have speculative characteristics, or, if not rated, will be of comparable quality as determined by the Adviser. The Fund will invest in common stocks of issuers whose senior debt is rated investment grade or, in the case of issuers that have no rated senior debt outstanding, whose senior debt is considered by the Adviser to be of comparable quality.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>On November 20, 2001, the Fund&#146;s Trustees approved the following investment policy investment restriction change, effective December 15, 2001. Under normal circumstances the Fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in dividend-paying securities. The &#147;Assets&#148; are defined as net assets including the liquidation preference amount of the DARTS plus borrowings for investment purposes. The Fund will notify shareholders at least 60 days prior to any change in this 80% investment policy.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Bylaws</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>In November 2002, the Board of Trustees adopted several amendments to the Fund&#146;s bylaws, including provisions relating to the calling of a special meeting and requiring advance notice of shareholder proposals or nominees for Trustee. The advance notice provisions in the bylaws require shareholders to notify the Fund in writing of any proposal </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>that they intend to present at an annual meeting of share- holders, including any nominations for Trustee, between 90 and 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the mailing date of the notice from the prior year&#146;s annual meeting of shareholders. The notification must be in the form prescribed by the bylaws. The advance notice provisions provide the Fund and its Trustees with the opportunity to thoughtfully consider and address the matters proposed before the Fund prepares and mails its proxy statement to shareholders. Other amendments set forth the procedures that must be followed in orde
r for a shareholder to call a special meeting of shareholders. Please contact the Secretary of the Fund for additional information about the advance notice requirements or the other amendments to the bylaws.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>On December 16, 2003, the Trustees approved the following change to the Fund&#146;s bylaws. The auction preferred section of the Fund&#146;s bylaws was changed to update the rating agency requirements, in keeping with recent changes to the agencies&#146; basic maintenance reporting requirements for leveraged closed-end funds. Bylaws now require an independent accountant&#146;s confirmation only once per year, at the Fund&#146;s fiscal year end, and changes to the agencies&#146; basic maintenance reporting requirements that include modifications to the eligible assets and their respective discount factors. These revisions bring the Fund&#146;s bylaws in line with current rating agency requirements. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>On September 14, 2004, the Trustees approved an amendment to the Fund&#146;s bylaws increasing the maximum applicable dividend rate ceiling on the preferred shares to conform with the modern calculation methodology used by the industry and other John Hancock funds.</FONT></P>

<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Dividend reinvestment plan</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Fund offers its shareholders a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (the &#147;Plan&#148;), which offers the opportunity to earn compounded yields. Each holder of common shares may elect to have all distributions of dividends and capital gains reinvested by Mellon Investor Services, as plan agent for the common shareholders (the &#147;Plan Agent&#148;). Holders of common shares who do not elect to participate in the Plan will receive all distributions in cash, paid by check mailed directly to the shareholder of record (or, if the common shares are held in street or other nominee name, then to the nominee) by the Plan Agent, as dividend disbursing agent. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Shareholders may join the Plan by filling out and mailing an authorization card, by notifying the Plan Agent by telephone or by visiting the Plan Agent&#146;s Web site at www.melloninvestor. com. Shareholders must indicate an election to reinvest all or a portion of dividend payments. If received in proper form by the Plan Agent before the record date of a dividend, the election will be effective with respect to all dividends paid after such record date. Shareholders whose shares are held in the name of a broker or nominee should contact the broker or nominee to determine whether and how they may participate in the Plan.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>If the Fund declares a dividend payable either in common shares or in cash, nonparticipants will receive cash, and participants in the Plan will receive the equivalent in common shares. If the market price of the common shares on the payment date of the dividend is equal to or exceeds their net asset value as determined on </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>the payment date, participants will be issued common shares (out of authorized but unissued shares) at a value equal to the higher of net asset value or 95% of the market price. If the net asset value exceeds the market price of the common shares at such time, or if the Board of Trustees declares a dividend payable only in cash, the Plan Agent will, as agent for Plan participants, buy shares in the open market, on the New York Stock Exchange or elsewhere, for the participants&#146; accounts. Such purchases will be made promptly after the payable date for such dividend and, in any event, prior to the next ex-dividend date 
after such date, except where necessary to comply with federal securities laws. If, before the Plan Agent has completed its purchases, the market price exceeds the net asset value of the common shares, the average per share purchase price paid by the Plan Agent may exceed the net asset value of the common shares, resulting in the acquisition of fewer shares than if the dividend had been paid in shares issued by the Fund.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Each participant will pay a pro rata share of brokerage commissions incurred with respect to the Plan Agent&#146;s open market purchases in connection with the reinvestment of dividends and distributions. In each case, the cost per share of the shares purchased for each participant&#146;s account will be the average cost, including brokerage commissions, of any shares purchased on the open market plus the cost of any shares issued by the Fund. There will be no brokerage charges with respect to common shares issued directly by the Fund. There are no other charges to participants for reinvesting dividends or capital gain distributions. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Participants in the Plan may withdraw from the Plan at any time by contacting the Plan Agent by telephone, in writing or by visiting the Plan Agent&#146;s Web site at www.melloninvestor.com. Such withdrawal will be effective immediately if received not less than ten days prior to a dividend record date; otherwise, it will be effective for all subsequent dividend record dates. When a participant withdraws from the Plan or upon termination of the Plan, as provided below, certificates for whole common shares credited to his or her account under the Plan will be issued, and a cash payment will </FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>be made for any fraction of a share credited to such account.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Plan Agent maintains each shareholder&#146;s account in the Plan and furnishes monthly written confirmations of all transactions in the accounts, including information needed by the shareholders for personal and tax records. The Plan Agent will hold common shares in the account of each Plan participant in noncertificated form in the name of the participant. Proxy material relating to the shareholders&#146; meetings of the Fund will include those shares purchased as well as shares held pursuant to the Plan.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The reinvestment of dividends and distributions will not relieve participants of any federal income tax that may be payable or required to be withheld on such dividends or distributions. Participants under the Plan will receive tax information annually. The amount of dividend to be reported on 1099-DIV should be (1) in the case of shares issued by the Fund, the fair market value of such shares on the dividend payment date and (2) in the case of shares purchased by the Plan Agent in the open market, the amount of cash used by the Plan Agent to purchase shares in the open market, including the amount of cash allocated to brokerage commissions paid on such purchases.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Experience under the Plan may indicate that changes are desirable. Accordingly, the Fund reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plan as applied to any dividend or distribution paid subsequent to written notice of the change sent to all shareholders of the Fund at least 90 days before the record date for the dividend or distribution. The Plan may be amended or terminated by the Plan Agent after at least 90 days&#146; written notice to all shareholders of the Fund. All correspondence or additional information concerning the Plan should be directed to the Plan Agent, Mellon Bank, N.A., c/o Mellon Investor Services, P.O.

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Investment Company Act of 1940 (the &#147;1940 Act&#148;) requires the Board of Trustees (the &#147;Board&#148;) of John Hancock Patriot Premium Dividend Fund II (the &#147;Fund&#148;), including a majority of the Trustees who have no direct or indirect interest in the investment advisory agreement and are not &#147;interested persons&#148; of the Fund, as defined in the 1940 Act (the &#147;Independent Trustees&#148;), annually to review and consider the continuation of: (i) the investment advisory agreement (the &#147;Advisory Agreement&#148;) with John Hancock Advisers, LLC (the &#147;Adviser&#148;) and (ii) the investment sub-advisory agreement (the &#147;Sub-Advisory Agreement&#148;) with MFC Global Investment Management (U.S.), LLC (the &#147;Sub-Adviser&#148;). The Advisory Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the &#147;Advisory Agreements.&#148; </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>At meetings held on May 1&#150;2 and June 5&#150;6,</FONT><SUP><FONT face=serif size=2> </FONT></SUP><FONT face=serif size=2>2006,</FONT><SUP><FONT face=serif size=2>1</FONT></SUP><FONT face=serif size=2> the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser and the continuation of the Advisory Agreements. During such meetings, the Board&#146;s Contracts/Operations Committee and the Independent Trustees also met in executive sessions with their independent legal counsel.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>In evaluating the Advisory Agreements, the Board, including the Contracts/Operations Committee and the Independent Trustees, reviewed a broad range of information requested for this purpose by the Independent Trustees, including: (i) the investment performance of the Fund and a peer group of comparable funds (the &#147;Peer Group&#148;) selected by Morningstar Inc. (&#147;Morningstar&#148;), an independent provider of investment company data, for a range of periods ended December 31, 2005;</FONT><SUP><FONT face=serif size=2>2</FONT></SUP><FONT face=serif size=2> (ii) advisory and other fees incurred by, and the expense ratios of, the Fund relative to a Peer Group; (iii) the Adviser&#146;s financial results and condition, including its and certain of its affiliates&#146; profitability from services performed for the Fund; (iv) breakpoints in the Fund&#146;s&nbsp; </FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>and the Peer Group&#146;s fees and information about economies of scale; (v) th
e Adviser&#146;s and Sub-Adviser&#146;s record of compliance with applicable laws and regulations, with the Fund&#146;s investment policies and restrictions and with the applicable Code of Ethics, and the structure and responsibilities of the Adviser&#146;s and Sub-Adviser&#146;s compliance department; (vi) the background and experience of senior management and investment professionals and (vii) the nature, cost and character of advisory and non-investment management services provided by the Adviser and its affiliates and by the Sub-Adviser.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board&#146;s review and conclusions were based on a comprehensive consideration of all information presented to the Board and not the result of any single controlling factor. It was based on performance and other information as of December 31, 2005; facts may have changed between that date and the date of this shareholders report. The key factors considered by the Board and the conclusions reached are described below.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Nature, extent and quality of services</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board considered the ability of the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser, based on their resources, reputation and other attributes, to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory and supervisory personnel. The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser. In addition, the Board took into account the administrative services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and its affiliates. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Based on the above factors, together with those referenced below, the Board concluded that, within the context of its full deliberations, the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided to the Fund by the Adviser and Sub-Adviser were sufficient to support renewal of the Advisory Agreements.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Fund performance</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board considered the performance results for the Fund over various time periods ended December 31, 2005. The Board also considered these results in comparison to the performance of the Peer Group, as well as the </FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>Fund&#146;s benchmark index. Morningstar determined the Peer Group for the Fund. The Board reviewed with a representative of Morningstar the methodology used by Morningstar to select the funds in the Peer Group. The Board noted the imperfect comparability of the Peer Group and that Morningstar was not able to select a comparative Category for the Fund.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board noted that the Fund&#146;s performance during the five-year period was lower than the performance of the median of the Peer Group and its benchmark index &#151; the Merrill Lynch Preferred Stock DRD Eligible Index. The Board also noted that Fund&#146;s more recent performance during the one- and three-year periods was higher than the performance of the Peer Group median, and its benchmark index. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Investment advisory fee and sub-advisory fee rates and expenses</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board reviewed and considered the contractual investment advisory fee rate payable by the Fund to the Adviser for investment advisory services (the &#147;Advisory Agreement Rate&#148;). The Board received and considered information comparing the Advisory Agreement Rate with the advisory fees for the Peer Group. The Board noted that the Advisory Agreement Rate was equal to the median rate of the Peer Group. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board received and considered expense information regarding the Fund&#146;s various components, including advisory fees, and other non-advisory fees, including administrative fees, transfer agent fees, custodian fees and other miscellaneous fees (e.g., fees for accounting and legal services). The Board considered comparisons of these expenses to the Peer Group median. The Board also received and considered expense information regarding the Fund&#146;s total operating expense ratio (&#147;Expense Ratio&#148;). The Board received and considered information comparing the Expense Ratio of the Fund to that of the Peer Group median. The Board noted that the Fund&#146;s Expense Ratio was higher than the Peer Group median. </FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Adviser also discussed the Morningstar data and rankings, and other relevant information, for the Fund. Based on the above-referenced considerations and other factors, the Board&nbsp;</FONT><FONT face=serif size=2>concluded that the Fund&#146;s overall performance and expense results supported the re-approval of the Advisory Agreements.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board also received information about the investment sub-advisory fee rate (the &#147;Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate&#148;) payable by the Adviser to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services. The Board concluded that the Sub-Advisory Agreement Rate was fair and equitable, based on its consideration of the factors described here.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Profitability</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board received and considered a detailed profitability analysis of the Adviser based on the Advisory Agreements, as well as on other relationships between the Fund and the Adviser and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser. The Board concluded that, in light of the costs of providing investment management and other services to the Fund, the profits and other ancillary benefits reported by the Adviser were not unreasonable.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=1>Economies of scale</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board received and considered general information regarding economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund, including the Fund&#146;s ability to appropriately benefit from economies of scale under the Fund&#146;s fee structure. The Board recognized the inherent limitations of any analysis of economies of scale, stemming largely from the Board&#146;s understanding that most of the Adviser&#146;s and Sub-Adviser&#146;s costs are not specific to individual Funds, but rather are incurred across a variety of products and services.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>The Board observed that the Advisory Agreements did not offer breakpoints. However, the Board considered the limited relevance of economies of scale in the context of a closed-end fund that, unlike an open-end fund, does not continuously offer its shares. The Board noted that the Fund, as a closed-end investment company, was not expected to increase materially in size and that its assets would grow (if at all) through the investment performance of the Fund. Therefore, the Board did not consider potential economies of scale as a principal factor in assessing the fees payable under the Advisory Agreements, but </FONT></P>

<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">The Board received information regarding potential &#147;fall-out&#148; or ancillary benefits received by the Adviser and its affiliates as a result of the Adviser&#146;s relationship with the Fund. Such benefits could
include, among others, benefits directly attributable to the relationship of the Adviser with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in the business of the Adviser as a result of its relationship with the Fund (such as the
ability to market to shareholders other financial products offered by the Adviser and its affiliates).</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">The Board also considered the effectiveness of the Adviser&#146;s, Sub-Adviser&#146;s and Fund&#146;s policies and procedures for complying with the requirements of the federal securities laws, including those relating to
best execution of portfolio transactions and brokerage allocation.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<B><FONT size=1 face="sans-serif">Other factors and broader review</FONT></B></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">As discussed above, the Board reviewed detailed materials received from the Adviser and Sub-Adviser as part of the annual re-approval process. The Board also regularly reviews and assesses the quality of the services that
the Fund receives throughout the year. In this regard, the Board reviews reports of the Adviser and Sub-Adviser at least quarterly, which include, among other things, fund performance reports and compliance reports. In addition, the Board meets with
portfolio managers and senior investment officers at various times throughout the year.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">After considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board concluded that approval of the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for the
Fund was in the best interest of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board unanimously approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=serif size=2>When a portfolio manager is responsible for the management of more than one account, the potential arises for the portfolio manager to favor one account over another. For the reasons outlined below, the Fund does not believe that any material conflicts are likely to arise out of a portfolio manager&#146;s responsibility for the management of the Fund as well as one or more other accounts. The Adviser and the Sub-Adviser have adopted procedures, overseen by the Chief Compliance Officer, that are intended to monitor compliance with the policies referred to in the following paragraphs.</FONT></P>

<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">&#149; The Sub-Adviser has policies that require a portfolio manager to allocate investment opportunities in an equitable manner and generally to allocate such investments proportionately among all accounts with similar
investment objectives.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">&#149; When a portfolio manager intends to trade the same security for more than one account, the policies of the Sub-Adviser generally require that such trades for the individual accounts are aggregated so each account
receives the same price. Where not possible or may not result in the best possible price, the Sub-Adviser will place the order in a manner intended to result in as favorable a price as possible for such client.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">&#149; The investment performance on specific accounts is not a factor in determining the portfolio manager&#146;s compensation. See &#147;Compensation of Portfolio Managers&#148; below. Neither the Adviser nor the
Sub-Adviser receives a performance-based fee with respect to other accounts managed by the Fund&#146;s portfolio managers. </FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">&#149; The Sub-Adviser imposes certain trading restrictions and reporting requirements for accounts in which a portfolio manager or certain family members have a personal interest in order to confirm that such accounts are
not favored over other accounts. </FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">&#149; The Sub-Adviser seeks to avoid portfolio manager assignments with potentially conflicting situations. However, where a portfolio manager is responsible for accounts with differing investment objectives and policies,
it is possible that the portfolio manager will conclude that it is in the best interest of one account to sell a portfolio security while another account continues to hold or increase the holding in such security.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<B><FONT size=1 face="sans-serif">Compensation of Portfolio Managers</FONT></B><FONT size=2 face="serif"> </FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">The Sub-Adviser has adopted a system of compensation for portfolio managers and others involved in the investment process that is applied consistently among investment professionals. At the Sub-Adviser, the structure of
compensation of investment professionals is currently composed of the following basic components: fixed base salary and an annual investment bonus plan, as well as customary benefits that are offered generally to all full-time employees of the
Sub-Adviser. A limited number of senior portfolio managers, who serve as officers of both the Sub-Adviser and its parent company, may also receive options or restricted stock grants of common shares of Manulife Financial Corporation.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">Only investment professionals are eligible to participate in the Investment Bonus Plan on an annual basis. While the amount of any bonus is discretionary, the following factors are generally used in determining bonuses: 1)
The investment performance of all accounts managed by the investment professional over one- and three-year periods are considered. The pre-tax performance of each account is measured relative to an appropriate peer group benchmark. 2) The
profitability of the Sub-Adviser and its parent company are also considered in determining bonus awards, with greater emphasis placed upon the profitability of the Adviser. 3) The more intangible contributions of an investment professional to the
Sub-Adviser&#146;s business, including the investment professional&#146;s support of sales activities, new fund/strategy idea generation, professional growth and development, and management, where applicable, are evaluated in determining the amount
of any bonus award. </FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="serif">While the profitability of the Sub-Adviser and the investment performance of the accounts that the investment professionals maintain are factors in determining an investment professional&#146;s overall compensation, the
investment professional&#146;s compensation is not linked directly to the net asset value of any fund.</FONT></P>

standards when conducting our business.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>This means that:</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;
</FONT>You have a fiduciary duty at all times to place the interests of our
clients and fund investors first.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;
</FONT>All of your personal securities transactions must be conducted consistent
with the provisions of this code of ethics that apply to you and in such a
manner as to avoid any actual or potential conflict of interest or other abuse
of your position of trust and responsibility.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;
</FONT>You should not take inappropriate advantage of your position or engage in
any fraudulent or manipulative practice (such as front-running or manipulative
market timing) with respect to our clients' accounts or fund
investors.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;
</FONT>You must treat as confidential any information concerning the identity of

investors.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;

<HR align=center width="100%" noShade SIZE=2>
<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_2></A>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The General Principles discussed
above govern all conduct, whether or not the conduct is also covered by more
specific standards and procedures in this code of ethics. As described below
under the heading "Interpretation and Enforcement", failure to comply with the
code of ethics may result in disciplinary action, including termination of
employment.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><B><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>2. To Whom Does This Code
Apply?</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>This code of ethics applies to you if
you are a director, officer or employee of John Hancock Advisers, LLC, MFC Global Investment Management (U.S.), LLC, John Hancock Funds, LLC or a John Hancock open-end or
closed-end fund registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "'40
Act") and advised by John Hancock Advisers, LLC ("John Hancock funds"). It also
applies to you if you are trustee of the John Hancock Financial Trends Fund,
Inc. or an employee of Manulife Financial Corporation or its subsidiaries who
participates in making recommendations for, or receives information about,
portfolio trades or holdings of the John Hancock funds or accounts. However,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, it does not apply to any
trustees/directors of any open-end or closed-end funds advised by John Hancock
Advisers, LLC who are not "interested persons" of such funds as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the '40 Act, so long as they are subject to a separate Code
of Ethics (each, an "Excluded Independent Director"). Also, in some cases only a
limited number of provisions will apply to you, based on your access category.
For example, only a limited number of provisions apply to directors of the John
Hancock open-end funds and closed-end funds who are not Excluded Independent
Directors-- see Appendix C for more information.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Please note that if a policy
described below applies to you, it also applies to all accounts over which you
have a beneficial interest. </FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Normally, you
will be deemed to have a beneficial interest in your personal accounts, those of
a spouse, "significant other," minor children or family members sharing a
household, as well as all accounts over which you have discretion or give advice
or information. "Significant others" are defined for these purposes as two
people who (1) share the same primary residence; (2) share living expenses; and
(3) are in a committed relationship and intend to remain in the relationship
indefinitely.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>There are three main categories for
persons covered by this code of ethics, taking into account their positions,
duties and access to information regarding fund portfolio trades. You have been
notified about which of these categories applies to you, based on the JHF
Investment Compliance Department's understanding of your current role. If you
have a level of investment access beyond your assigned category, or if you are
promoted or change duties and as a result should more appropriately be included
in a different category, it is your responsibility to notify the Chief
Compliance Officer of your company.</FONT></P>

are Subject to the Code's Personal Trading Restrictions?</FONT></B></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>If this code of ethics describes
"Personal Trading Requirements" (i.e. John Hancock Mutual Fund reporting
requirement and holding period, the preclearance requirement, the ban on
short-term profits, the ban on IPOs, the disclosure of private placement
conflicts and the reporting requirements) that apply to your access category as
described above, then the requirements apply to trades for any account in which
you have a beneficial interest. Normally, this includes your personal accounts,
those of a spouse, "significant other," minor children or family members sharing
your household, as well as all accounts over which you have discretion or give
advice or information. This includes all brokerage accounts that contain
securities (including brokerage accounts that only contain securities exempt
from reporting). Accounts over which you have no direct or indirect influence or
control are exempt. To prevent potential violations of this code of ethics, you
are strongly encouraged to request clarification for any accounts that are in
question.</FONT></P>

do not apply to the following securities:</FONT></P>

<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>&#149;

Compliance Department must maintain a five-year record of all clearances of
private placement purchases by Investment Access persons, and the reasons
supporting the clearances.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The preclearance policy is designed
to proactively identify potential "problem trades" that raise front-running,

an Investment Access person trades a security on the same day as a John Hancock

<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>If you are an Investment Access
person or Regular Access person with a personal securities position that is
worth $100,000 or more, this is deemed to be a "Significant Personal Position".
This applies to any personal securities positions in the categories described
above in the section "Which Accounts and Securities are Subject to the Code's
Personal Trading Restrictions". Before you make personal trades to establish,
increase or decrease a Significant Personal Position, you must notify either the
Chief Fixed Income Officer or the Chief Equity Officer that (1) you intend to
trade in a Significant Personal Position and (2) confirm that you are not aware
of any clients for whom related trades should be completed first. You must
receive their pre-approval to proceed--their approval will be based on their
conclusion that your personal trade in a Significant Personal Position will not
"front-run" any action that John Hancock Funds should take for a client. This
Heightened Preclearance requirement is in addition to, not in place of, the
regular preclearance requirement described above--you must also receive the
regular preclearance before you trade.</FONT></P>

from time to time by the Board of Trustees of Trustees. In selecting Independent Trustees to serve on the Audit Committee, the Board should select members who are free of any relationship that, in the opinion of the Board, may interfere or give the
appearance of interfering with such member's individual exercise of independent judgment. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, no member of the Audit Committee may serve on the audit committee of more than two other public companies (other than
another John Hancock Fund). Except as otherwise permitted by the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange, each member of the Audit Committee shall be independent as defined by such rules and Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Exchange Act. Each member
of the Audit Committee must be financially literate, as such qualification is interpreted by the Board of Trustees in its business judgment, or must become financially literate within a reasonable period of time after his or her appointment to the
Audit Committee. At least one member of the Audit Committee must have accounting or related financial management expertise, as the Board of Trustees interprets such qualification in its business judgment.</FONT></P>

<!--$$/page=--><A name=page_2></A>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>the information provided by the
funds' management and independent auditors, in accordance with its business
judgment. Management is responsible for the preparation of the fund's financial
statements and the independent auditors are responsible for auditing those
financial statements. The Audit Committee and the Board of Trustees recognize
that management (including the internal audit staff) and the independent
auditors have more experience, expertise, resources and time, and more detailed
knowledge and information regarding a fund's accounting, auditing, internal
control and financial reporting practices than the Audit Committee does.
Accordingly, the Audit Committee's oversight role does not provide any expert or
special assurance as to the financial statements and other financial information
provided by a fund to its shareholders and others. The independent auditors are
responsible for auditing the funds' annual financial statements. The authority
and responsibilities set forth in this charter do not reflect or create any duty
or obligation of the Audit Committee to plan or conduct any audit, to determine
or certify that any fund's financial statements are complete, accurate, fairly
presented, or in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or
applicable law, or to guarantee any independent auditor's report.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>C. Oversight. The independent
auditors shall report directly to the </FONT><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>Audit
Committee, and the Audit Committee shall be responsible for oversight of the
work of the independent auditors, including resolution of any disagreements
between any fund's management and the independent auditors regarding financial
reporting. In connection with its oversight role, the Audit Committee should
also review with the independent auditors, from time to time as appropriate:
significant risks and uncertainties with respect to the quality, accuracy or
fairness of presentation of a fund's financial statements; recently disclosed
problems with respect to the quality, accuracy or fairness of presentation of
the financial statements of companies similarly situated to the funds and
recommended actions which might be taken to prevent or mitigate the risk of
problems at the funds arising from such matters; accounting for unusual
transactions; adjustments arising from audits that could have a significant
impact on the funds' financial reporting process; and any recent SEC comments on
the funds' SEC reports, including, in particular, any compliance comments. The
Audit Committee should inquire of the independent auditor concerning the
quality, not just the acceptability, of the funds' accounting determinations and
other judgmental areas and question whether management's choices of accounting
principles are, as a whole, conservative, moderate or aggressive.</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>D. Specific Responsibilities. The
Audit Committee shall have the following duties and powers, to be exercised at
such times and in such manner as the Committee shall deem necessary or

<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>A. Policy Objectives</FONT></P>
<P align=left><FONT face=sans-serif size=2>The objective of this policy is to
provide a mechanism by which complaints and concerns regarding accounting,
internal accounting controls or auditing matters may be raised and addressed
without the fear or threat of retaliation. The funds desire and expect that

<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">The funds' Secretary shall report to the Audit Committee as to whether those responsible for the Ethics Line or similar facility have a procedure in place to communicate promptly any such complaints or concerns to the
funds' Secretary, and whether any such communication would violate the terms thereof.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">All complaints and concerns received will be promptly forwarded to the Audit Committee or the chair of the Audit Committee, unless they are determined to be without merit by Secretary of the funds. If sent only to the
chair, the chair may determine the appropriate response or may refer the issues to the entire Audit Committee. In any event, the funds' Secretary will provide a record of all complaints and concerns received (whether or not determined to have merit)
to the Audit Committee quarterly.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">The Audit Committee will evaluate any complaints or concerns received (including those reported to the committee on a quarterly basis and which the funds' Secretary has previously determined to be without merit). If
the Audit Committee requires additional information to evaluate any complaint or concern, it may conduct an investigation, including interviews of persons believed to have relevant information. The Audit Committee may, in its discretion, assume
responsibility for directing or conducting any investigation or may delegate such responsibility to another person or entity.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">After its evaluation of the complaint or concern, the Audit Committee will authorize such follow-up actions, if any, as deemed necessary and appropriate to address the substance of the complaint or concern. The funds
reserve the right to take whatever action the Audit Committee believes appropriate, up to and including discharge of any employee deemed to have engaged in improper conduct.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Regardless of whether a complaint or concern is submitted anonymously, the Audit Committee will strive to keep all complaints and concerns and the identity of those who submit them and participate in any investigation
as confidential as possible, limiting disclosure to those with a business need to know or as required by law or recommended by legal counsel.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">

<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Any shareholder nomination must be submitted in compliance with all of the pertinent provisions of Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in order to be considered by the Governance Committee. In
evaluating a nominee recommended by a shareholder, the Governance Committee, in addition to the criteria discussed above, may consider the objectives of the shareholder in submitting that nomination and whether such objectives are consistent with
the interests of all shareholders. If the Board determines to include a shareholder's candidate among the slate of its designated nominees, the candidate's name will be placed on the funds' proxy card. If the Board determines not to include such
candidate among its designated nominees, and the shareholder has satisfied the requirements of Rule 14a-8, the shareholder's candidate will be treated as a nominee of the shareholder who originally nominated the candidate. In that case, the
candidate will not be named on the proxy card distributed with the funds' proxy statement.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">As long as an existing Independent Trustee continues, in the opinion of the Governance Committee, to satisfy the criteria listed above, the Committee generally would favor the re-nomination of an existing Trustee
rather than a new candidate. Consequently, while the Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by shareholders to serve as trustees, the Governance Committee may only act upon such recommendations if there is a vacancy on the Board, or
the Governance Committee determines that the selection of a new or additional Trustee is in the best interests of the fund. In the event that a vacancy arises or a change in Board membership is determined to be advisable, the Governance Committee
will, in addition to any shareholder recommendations, consider candidates identified by other means, including candidates proposed by members of the Governance Committee. The Governance Committee may retain a consultant to assist the Committee in a
search for a qualified candidate.</FONT></P>

<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">We believe in placing our clients' interests first. Before we invest in a particular stock or bond, our team of portfolio managers and research analysts look closely at the company by examining its earnings history,
its management team and its place in the market. Once we invest, we monitor all our clients' holdings, to ensure that they maintain their potential to produce results for investors.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">As part of our active investment management strategy, we keep a close eye on each company we invest in. Routinely, companies issue proxies by which they ask investors like us to vote for or against a change, such as a
new management team, a new business procedure or an acquisition. We base our decisions on how to vote these proxies with the goal of maximizing the value of our clients' investments.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Currently, John Hancock Advisers, LLC ("JHA") and MFC Global Investment Management (U.S.), LLC ("MFC") manage open-end funds, closed-end funds and portfolios for institutions and high-net-worth investors. Occasionally,
we utilize the expertise of an outside asset manager by means of a subadvisory agreement. In all cases, JHA or MFC makes the final decision as to how to vote our clients' proxies. There is one exception, however, and that pertains to our
international accounts. The investment management team for international investments votes the proxies for the accounts they manage. Unless voting is specifically retained by the named fiduciary of the client, JHA and MFC will vote proxies for
ERISA clients.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">In order to ensure a consistent, balanced approach across all our investment teams, we have established a proxy oversight group comprised of associates from our investment, operations and legal teams. The group has
developed a set of policies and procedures that detail the standards for how JHA and MFC vote proxies. The guidelines of JHA have been approved and adopted by each fund client's board of trustees who have voted to delegate proxy voting
authority to their investment adviser, JHA. JHA and MFC's other clients have granted us the authority to vote proxies in our advisory contracts or comparable documents.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">JHA and MFC have hired a third party proxy voting service which has been instructed to vote all proxies in accordance with our established guidelines except as otherwise instructed.</FONT></P>

<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">from many sources, including the portfolio manager, management of a company presenting a proposal, shareholder groups, and independent proxy research services. Proxies for securities on loan through securities lending
programs will generally not be voted, however a decision may be made to recall a security for voting purposes if the issue is material.</FONT></P>
<P align="left">
<FONT size=2 face="sans-serif">Below are the guidelines we adhere to when voting proxies. Please keep in mind that these are purely guidelines. Our actual votes will be driven by the particular circumstances of each proxy. From time to time votes
may ultimately be cast on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration relevant facts and circumstances at the time of the vote. Decisions on these matters (case-by-case, abstention, recall) will normally be made by a portfolio manager under the
supervision of the chief investment officer and the proxy oversight group. We may abstain from voting a proxy if we conclude that the effect on our clients' economic interests or the value of the portfolio holding is indeterminable or
insignificant.</FONT></P>

but will not support a board that has fewer than 3 directors or allows for the removal of a director without cause.</FONT></P>

voting service to assist with the voting of client proxies. The proxy service
coordinates with client custodians to ensure that proxies are received for
securities held in client accounts and acted on in a timely manner. The proxy
service votes all proxies received in accordance with the proxy voting
guidelines established and adopted by JHA and MFC. When it is unclear how
to apply a particular proxy voting guideline or when a particular proposal is
not covered by the guidelines, the proxy voting service will contact the proxy
oversight group coordinator for a resolution.</FONT></P>

responsible for identifying whether, when a voting issue arises, there is a potential conflict of interest situation and then escalating the issue to the firm's Executive Committee. For securities out on loan as part of a securities lending program,
if a decision is made to vote a proxy, the coordinator will manage the return/recall of the securities so the proxy can be voted.</FONT></P>

investment advice to, such as to pension plans.</FONT></P>
