Of Average Experience for Leadership of Specialty Finance Program

Marathon provides financing to Specialty Finance originators and asset-rich companies with substantial financial or physical assets.

Our team collaborates across our global platform to source, structure, and underwrite specialty finance opportunities, primarily through senior or mezzanine secured bankruptcy-remote structures, asset acquisitions, and joint ventures.

Marathon's Specialty Finance Program includes the following asset classes:

Commercial Receivables
Equipment or Equipment Loans/Leases
Litigation or Settlements
Royalties
Regulatory Capital Relief, SRTs & CRTs
Corporate Asset-Based Solutions

Increased bank regulation has led to underbanked asset classes creating substantial opportunities for Marathon to provide regulatory capital relief and finance assets with tailored deal terms.

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.
