About ABABX
John Hancock Asset-Backed Securities Fund is a continuously offered closed-end fund focused on generating a return that combines current income with capital appreciation. It primarily invests in a diverse range of asset-backed securities (ABS), which may include residential and commercial mortgages, collateralized loan obligations, and regulatory capital instruments. The fund is actively managed by a specialist team at Manulife | CQS Investment Management, who aim to provide steady and diversified sources of income by selecting ABS subsectors that historically show low correlation to traditional credit and equity markets. This approach seeks to enhance risk-adjusted returns, exploit market inefficiencies, and buffer portfolio volatility, thereby offering investors opportunities to diversify their credit allocations in the broader fixed income landscape. The fund caters to income-seeking investors looking for alternative strategies and plays a distinctive role in expanding access to the global ABS market, aligning with the growing demand for non-traditional credit solutions among advisors and institutional investors.
