Powerful environmental and social trends are going to transform the global economy over coming decades. Clients already place responsible investment at the heart of their portfolios. That is why Janus Henderson Investors has launched the Janus Henderson Horizon Global Sustainable Equity Fund. The fund has UCITS status, is denominated in USD ($) and domiciled in Luxembourg. It is registered for sale in various markets across Europe.
Leitender Portfoliomanager ist Hamish Chamberlayne, der seit Dezember 2011 für die Strategie verantwortlich ist. Dem neuen Fonds liegt der gleiche Investmentansatz zugrunde wie dem gleichnamigen OEIC-Fonds mit Sitz in Großbritannien.
Ausgangspunkt ist die Überzeugung, dass die besten Anlageergebnisse von Unternehmen generiert werden, die Lösungen für ökologische und soziale Probleme anbieten. Sie weisen attraktive Investmentcharakteristika auf, wie dauerhaftes Ertragswachstum und nachhaltige Cashflows.
Ziel des Fondsteams ist eine langfristige Outperformance des Markts durch Aufbau eines differenzierten globalen Aktienportfolios, bestehend aus den „besten Ideen“ im Nachhaltigkeitsbereich. Das Fondsteam verfolgt explizit einen Low-Carbon-Ansatz und durch Berücksichtigung von ESG-Faktoren (Umwelt, Soziales, Unternehmensführung) wird ein Portfolio mit günstigem Risikoprofil angestrebt.
Hamish Chamberlayne, Head of SRI (Socially Responsible Investment), erklärte: „Das bedeutendste Thema unserer Zeit – der Klimawandel – verlangt von uns den Übergang zu einer kohlenstoffarmen, nachhaltigen Wirtschaft bei gleichzeitiger Wahrung der notwendigen Produktivität, um das Angebot an Gütern und Dienstleistungen aufrechtzuerhalten. Nach unserer Überzeugung mindert ein SRI-Ansatz nicht die Chancen, positive Anlageerträge mit einem differenzierten globalen Aktienportfolio zu erzielen, das die ‚besten Ideen‘ im Nachhaltigkeitsbereich vereint: Unsere Strategie setzt auf Unternehmen, die strategisch auf einen positiven Lösungsbeitrag zu den ökologischen und sozialen Herausforderungen unserer Zeit ausgerichtet sind. ”
Ignacio de la Maza, Head of Continental Europe Wholesale & LatAm, ergänzte:
„Wir freuen uns, dass wir Kunden in Kontinentaleuropa nun unsere bewährte Global Sustainable Equity Strategy in einer leicht zugänglichen Form anbieten können. Die Strategie gibt Anlegern die Möglichkeit, verantwortungsvoll in Zukunftslösungen für ökologische und soziale Herausforderungen zu investieren.“
