Investing across the entire global natural resources supply chain

A world of opportunities

The long-term trends of increasing population, prosperity and urbanisation, particularly among developing economies, are leading to rising global consumption growth rates of natural resource minerals, energy and food. We believe that these long-term demand drivers, combined with constrained supply, mean the importance of natural resource equities relative to other sectors will continue to grow.

While Australia is fortunate to be home to two of the largest players in natural resources, BHP and Rio Tinto, the reality is that these companies only represent a small portion of the global natural resources investment opportunity – the global resource investment universe is almost 30 times the size of the Australian resources market and nine times the size of the Australian stock market1.

Capability

The Janus Henderson Global Natural Resources Fund is a high conviction equity portfolio invested across mining, energy and agriculture companies. A global investment approach broadens the scale and range of the natural resources investment universe and also improves the chance of early identification of profitable resource investment trends and pricing inefficiencies across global markets.

The Fund has the flexibility to move across the resource supply chain including the production, extraction, exploration, processing, distribution and transportation of natural resources or the provision of services to the industry. The broader natural resource approach means the Fund can take advantage of pricing shifts between upstream and downstream sectors and across a range of commodities.
