We are delighted to announce the launch of the John Hancock CQS Asset Backed Securities Fund, our second fund with John Hancock Investment Management. https://bit.ly/3E5v6TA “ABS is at the very core of our alternative credit platform, a strategy we've been managing for the better part of 19 years,” said Soraya Chabarek, CEO, Manulife | CQS Investment Management. “Launching alongside our Multi Asset Credit strategy on the John Hancock fund platform will offer a line-up that is focused on income generation potential while mitigating the downside. We are excited about what ABS markets can offer John Hancock investors: a diversifier to their credit allocations and the potential for high levels of stable income through accessing the real economy. We think the real benefit of ABS is its global, diversified nature, allowing our dedicated ABS team to select the right geographies, sectors, and different parts of the capital structure to help seek consistent risk-adjusted returns.” #JohnHancockProduct #AlternativeCredit
