Boston-John Hancock Financial Services, the parent of John Hancock Real Estate Investment Group, is being acquired by Manulife Financial Corp. of Canada in an $11 billion transaction (Canadian $15 billion).

The group is a major commercial mortgage servicer, with a portfolio of $9.84 billion in total named servicing volume as of midyear, according to a Mortgage Bankers Association survey.

This makes it the 14th largest commercial mortgage servicer, according to the MBA.

The group also reported a greater than $2 billion commercial mortgage lending volume for 2002 and manages over $11.2 billion in real estate-related assets for clients.

The MBA did not provide a ranking for John Hancock as a commercial mortgage originator-lender. But, based on 2002 rankings by MSN statisticians in theMortgage Industry Directory, at $2 billion a year John Hancock has volumes comparable to those of the 13th and 14th ranked commercial mortgage originators.

The merger is expected to create the largest life insurance company in Canada, and the second largest in North America, valued at $25.6 billion (Canadian $34.7 billion).
