Janus Henderson regularly reviews its range of products to ensure that the firm’s product offering continues to meet client expectations and needs. After careful consideration, it was decided to proceed with a repositioning of the Fund.

The new investment objective of the Fund will be to seek total return consisting of income and capital appreciation, by investing primarily in investment-grade corporate notes and bonds.

The Fund will shift its focus from giving special consideration to certain environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors in its security selection process and, instead, integrate ESG factors as part of its investment process only. Janus Henderson has confidence the firm can deliver strong risk-adjusted returns with a commitment to ESG integration of financially material ESG issues.

Michael Keough and Brad Smith will continue as portfolio managers on the Fund, and there will be no changes to fees or Morningstar category as a result of the reposition.

This reposition aligns with the firm’s existing US Corporate Credit strategy, and the portfolio managers will continue to rely on a bottom-up, fundamental research process to seek the most compelling investment ideas for inclusion in the portfolio, within a rigorous risk management framework.

Subject to approvals, the Fund’s repositioning will be effective in mid-May of 2024.

Janus Henderson remains committed to responsible investing. ESG integration and JHI’s Brighter Future Funds—our ESG-focused strategies—continue to be a priority for the firm.

Janus Henderson is a pioneer in providing innovative fixed income solutions designed to meet clients’ long-term objectives. As of January 31, 2024, Janus Henderson’s US ETF suite has over $12.9B in AUM.
