Janus Henderson has launched its first active ETF in Europe: the Janus Henderson Tabula Japan High Conviction Equity UCITS ETF (JCPN).
Janus Henderson said in a statement today (21 October) that it has extensive expertise in Japanese equities, and the launch of this active ETF provides investors with an alternative way of accessing the firm’s deep knowledge and insights in this market.
The fund will adopt a high conviction approach and invest in an actively managed all-cap concentrated portfolio of 20 to 30 holdings, providing exposure to companies that are set to benefit from structural themes and trends in the Japanese Equity market, and showcasing the best of Janus Henderson’s stock selection skills.
The launch of this active ETF represents an important milestone for Janus Henderson, allowing the firm to cater to client demand globally for its investment strategies to include a UCITS ETF wrapper; and builds upon the firm’s extremely successful active ETF proposition in the US where it is fourth largest provider of actively managed fixed income ETFs.
Ignacio De La Maza, head of EMEA & LatAm Client Group at Janus Henderson, said: “At Janus Henderson, clients come first always, and the launch of JCPN is another example of how we are listening and responding to client demand.
“This launch marks the beginning of our journey; we are poised to introduce a series of active ETFs over the next twelve months, each of which will cater to a different customer need”.
Lucas Klein, Head of EMEA and Asia Pacific Equities, said: “This new offering brings high conviction active management to ETF Investors in Europe, and other important markets globally, while also providing existing clients with another way to access our world class investment teams.”
