Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Janus Henderson Balanced Fund’s dynamic asset allocation strategy has the flexibility to defensively position ahead of market volatility while seeking strong risk-adjusted returns. Unlike many competitor products, where asset allocations are constrained by static targets, the fund’s asset allocations may vary between 35% and 65% equities depending on market conditions.

The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.
