About ABSBX

John Hancock CQS Asset Backed Securities Fund Class I is a closed-end management investment company focused on alternative fixed-income assets. The fund primarily pursues a dual objective of generating both current income and capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in asset-backed securities and related investments. Key components of its portfolio include commercial mortgage-backed securities, residential mortgage-backed securities (agency and non-agency), asset-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, significant risk transfer securitizations, and collateralized mortgage obligations. Through the use of credit default swaps, options, and foreign exchange contracts, the fund actively manages exposure to risks such as interest rate volatility and foreign currency fluctuations. This approach positions the fund to benefit from opportunities within the global credit and securitized asset markets, and its composition often results in an indirect concentration in the real estate sector due to its holdings in various mortgage-backed securities. The fund plays a specialized role in providing access and diversification to segments of the fixed-income and alternative credit landscape, appealing to investors seeking differentiated sources of income and return potential.
