Janus Henderson Investors launches Absolute Return Fixed Income Fund in UK fund range

Filling the white space between money market funds and conventional core fixed income, absolute return fixed income products offer appeal to investors seeking returns with low volatility. That is why today, Janus Henderson Investors has launched the Janus Henderson Absolute Return Fixed Income Fund. The fund has UCITS status, is denominated in GBP and registered in England and Wales and will sit in the Investment Association’s Targeted Absolute Return sector.

Le fonds est géré par une équipe qui a fait ses preuves dans la gestion de fonds obligataires absolute return depuis 2006, date à laquelle Nick Maroutsos et Kumar Palghat ont fondé Kapstream, un groupe spécialisé dans la gestion de fonds obligataires de performance absolue. Ce nouveau fonds adoptera la même approche d’investissement que la stratégie Absolute Return Income existante.

The fund will be co-managed by Nick Maroutsos, Co-Head of Global Bonds, Dan Siluk, Portfolio Manager, and Tim Winstone, Credit Portfolio Manager, supported by a team with an average investment experience of 18 years.

Le fonds vise à générer des rendements positifs sur différents environnements de marché. L’accent est mis sur une volatilité réduite et sur la stabilité du capital, bien que ces dernières ne soient pas garanties. Les gérants investissent sur une base de titres investment grade à court-terme diversifiés à l’échelle internationale, ainsi que sur un nombre réduit de stratégies basées sur des produits dérivés afin de gérer les risques baissiers et de générer des rendements supplémentaires.

Nick Maroutsos, Co-Responsable de la gestion obligations internationales, commente :
“Notre objectif est de générer des rendements positifs en mettant l’accent sur une volatilité réduite et une faible corrélation aux autres catégories d’actifs. Nous ne suivons pas un indice mais partons de zéro et recherchons des opportunités à l’échelle internationale afin de générer des revenus et d’exploiter la valeur relative. Le lancement de ce fonds nous permet d’optimiser nos principaux investissements et de maximiser les rendements ajustés du risque pour les investisseurs basés dans la région.”

Simon Hillenbrand, Head of UK Retail added:
“We are excited to bring this proven absolute return fixed income approach in a form that has appeal to clients in the UK. We believe it provides a complementary strategy to traditional benchmark-orientated fixed income funds.”
