Our approach to DC

Through our experience, we recognize that DC default design continues to evolve, responding to the growth in assets and changes to regulation. We structure our DC investment solutions by aiming to meet specific requirements across each stage of the glide path.

Investment priority

Protect accrued fund value for material falls in value and align investments with retirement

Key DC member risk

Falls in fund value

Investment solution

Defensive and diversified assets, namely diversified fixed income

Global Short Duration Income Fund (GBP)

A strategy that seeks positive returns above cash by investing primarily in fixed income securities and associated derivatives.

Asset-Backed Securities Fund

A high quality, conservatively managed fixed income solution aiming to provide downside resilience over cycles.

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income
from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

DC members select from a range of investment options

  • Annuity
  • Cash
  • Income Drawdown

The Pension Freedom legislation, introduced in 2015, have led to a dramatic change in the way in which DC members can convert their accumulated DC savings pot into a source of retirement finance. The need for income generating investment options is fast becoming an important component within decumulation investment design, as more people consider income drawdown.

At Janus Henderson we have a range of investment options where generating a sustainable level of income is central to the investment objective. These include:

Global Dividend Equities
Defensive Equities
Strategic and Multi Asset Fixed Income
Multi Asset Income
Property

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income
from it can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
