About the Fund

John Hancock Asset-Based Lending Fund is a Massachusetts business trust that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a continuously offered, non-diversified, closed-end management investment company.

 

Fund shares are illiquid and, therefore, an investment in the fund should be considered a speculative investment that entails substantial risks. Investors could lose all or substantially all of their investment. Shares of the fund are not listed on any securities exchange, and it is not anticipated that a secondary market for the fund's shares will develop; therefore, an investment in the fund may not be suitable for investors who may need the money they invest in a specified timeframe. Please see the fund's prospectus for additional risks. Request a prospectus from your financial professional, by visiting jhinvestments.com, or by calling us at 800-225-5291. The prospectus includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other information that you should consider carefully before investing.

About the Fund

The John Hancock High Yield ETF is an exchange traded fund that is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. The John Hancock High Yield ETF, driven by a consistent portfolio construction process and diversified approach, aims to deliver strong category returns with index-like risk.

Request a prospectus from your financial professional, by visiting jhinvestments.com, or by calling 800-225-5291. The prospectus includes investment objectives, risks, fees, expenses, and other information that you should consider carefully before investing.
