Janus Henderson has launched its new Income ETF, aimed at achieving a high current income with a secondary focus on capital appreciation.
The fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing across fixed income sectors in a portfolio of US and non-US debt securities of varying maturities that the investment team believes have high relative income potential.
Janus Henderson’s research expertise across corporate credit, securitized credit, and emerging market debt research provides the foundation for security selection within the portfolio.
The Fund is managed by portfolio managers John Kerschner, CFA, and John Lloyd. They are supported by the full resources of the Janus Henderson fixed income team, including credit research, securitized research, quantitative research, trading, and risk management.
Kerschner and Lloyd have a successful track record in managing portfolios across fixed income sectors together over the past 10 years.
The investment team believes the fund’s overall volatility may be reduced by investing in multiple sectors that have lower correlation to each other.
John Kerschner, head of US securitized products and portfolio manager at Janus Henderson, said: “We believe the income solution space will be one of the fastest growing active ETF opportunities over the next five years. The launch of JIII demonstrates the expansion of our robust active fixed income ETF product offerings designed to meet client needs.”
John Lloyd, lead, multi-sector credit strategies and portfolio manager at Janus Henderson, said: “Our goal is to create a portfolio across all fixed income sectors, aiming to build a portfolio of best ideas across fixed income sectors, striving for higher yields than those of standard core-plus portfolios and greater diversification than single-sector, high-yield strategies.”
