JGBSX Investment Objective and Strategy

Janus Henderson Global Bond Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Janus Investment Fund.

Investment objective

Janus Henderson Global Bond Fund seeks total return, consistent with preservation of capital.

Principal investment strategy

The Fund pursues its investment objective by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets (plus any borrowings for investment purposes) in bonds. Bonds include, but are not limited to, corporate bonds, government notes and bonds, convertible bonds, commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds. The Fund invests in corporate debt securities of issuers in a number of different countries, which may include the United States. The Fund invests in securities of issuers that are economically tied to developed and emerging market countries. The Fund may invest across all fixed-income sectors, including U.S. and non-U.S. government debt securities (sovereign debt). The U.S. Government debt securities in which the Fund may invest include inflation-linked securities, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities, also known as TIPS.

The Funds investments may be denominated in non-U.S. currency or U.S. dollar-denominated. The Fund may invest in debt securities with a range of maturities from short- to long-term. The Fund may invest up to 35% of its net assets in high-yield/high-risk debt securities, also known as junk bonds. The Fund may also invest in preferred and common stock, money market instruments, municipal bonds, asset-backed securities, other securitized and structured debt products, private placements, and other investment companies, including exchange-traded funds (ETFs). The Fund may also invest in commercial loans, euro-denominated obligations, buy backs or dollar rolls, when-issued securities, and reverse repurchase agreements. The Fund may enter into to be announced or TBA commitments when purchasing mortgage-backed securities or other securities.

Due to the nature of the securities in which the Fund invests, it may have relatively high portfolio turnover compared to other funds. Additionally, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives, which are instruments that have a value derived from, or directly linked to, an underlying asset, such as equity securities, fixed-income securities, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices, as substitutes for securities in which the Fund invests. The Fund has invested in and is expected to continue to invest in forward foreign currency exchange contracts, futures, options, and swaps (including interest rate swaps, total return swaps, and credit default swaps) for hedging purposes (to offset risks associated with an investment, currency exposure, or market conditions) and to increase or decrease the Funds exposure to a particular market, to manage or adjust the risk profile of the Fund related to an investment or currency exposure, to adjust its currency exposure relative to its benchmark index, and to earn income and enhance returns.

In particular, the Fund may use interest rate futures to manage portfolio risk, duration, and yield curve exposure. For purposes of meeting its 80% investment policy, the Fund may include derivatives that have characteristics similar to the securities in which the Fund may directly invest. The Fund may also enter into short positions for hedging purposes. The Fund may also invest in floating rate obligations, such as collateralized loan obligations, floating rate senior secured syndicated bank loans, floating rate unsecured loans, and other floating rate bonds, loans and notes. Floating rate obligations feature rates that reset regularly, maintaining a fixed spread over the London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR) or the prime rates of large money-center banks. The interest rates on floating rate obligations typically reset quarterly, although rates on some obligations may adjust at other intervals.

In addition to considering economic factors such as the effect of interest rates on the Funds investments, the portfolio managers apply a bottom up approach in choosing investments. This means that the portfolio managers look at income-producing securities one at a time to determine if a security is an attractive investment opportunity and if it is consistent with the Funds investment policies. The portfolio managers additionally consider the expected risk-adjusted return on a particular investment and the Funds overall risk allocations and volatility. The Fund may lend portfolio securities on a short-term or long-term basis, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
