About John Hancock GA Senior Loan Trust

John Hancock GA Senior Loan Trust is a US-listed credit fund structured as a Delaware statutory trust and registered as a closed-end, non-diversified investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. It is part of the John Hancock / Manulife asset-management franchise, with principal executive offices at 197 Clarendon Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02116, United States. For French-, Belgian- and Swiss-based investors, this is best understood as exposure to the US leveraged-loan market rather than to a traditional operating company. The security is followed within the US listed-universe context on NYSE/NASDAQ, although recent SEC filings sometimes display the ticker as “N/A” in Form 4 and related regulatory documents. The fund’s investment objective is straightforward: to generate current income. Under normal market conditions, it invests at least 80% of net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, in senior loans. Those loans include first-lien and second-lien term loans, delayed-draw term loans, and revolving credit facilities. The fund focuses on below-investment-grade borrowers, placing it in the higher-yield, higher-risk segment of the credit market. Its stated approach is generally buy-and-hold, with purchases made either at primary issuance or in the secondary market. From a competitive standpoint, John Hancock GA Senior Loan Trust participates in a crowded but specialized segment of credit funds, where vehicles seek floating-rate income and exposure to syndicated corporate lending. Its relative strengths are the John Hancock brand, the broader Manulife platform, and access to an asset class that is often more institutional in nature. For global investors, the fund can serve as a portfolio diversifier, but its performance will be highly sensitive to US credit conditions, borrower quality, default trends, and interest-rate dynamics. Recent SEC reporting shows continued filing activity in 2025, including an annual report for the year ended December 31, 2025 and a semi-annual report for the period ended June 30, 2025. The filings also disclose that John Hancock GA Senior Loan Subsidiary Trust LLC was incorporated on October 10, 2024, as a wholly owned subsidiary used within the fund structure. In addition, recent Form 4 disclosures point to insider/affiliate transaction reporting within the trust’s regulatory perimeter, underscoring the compliance-heavy nature of a US registered fund operating in the United States.
