JMIAX Investment Objective and Strategy
Janus Henderson International Managed Volatility Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Janus Investment Fund.
Investment objective
Janus Henderson International Managed Volatility Fund seeks long-term growth of capital.
Principal investment strategy
The Fund invests primarily in common stocks from the universe of the MSCI EAFE (Europe, Australasia, Far East) Index, utilizing Intech Investment Management LLCs (Intech) mathematical investment process, applying a managed volatility approach. The MSCI EAFE Index is an MSCI index that is designed to measure the performance of the developed markets of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East. The Fund may also invest in foreign equity and debt securities. The Fund seeks to produce returns in excess of the MSCI EAFE Index (the Funds benchmark index), but with lower absolute volatility than the benchmark index. The Fund seeks to generate such excess returns with absolute volatility that can range from approximately 0% to 45% lower than the MSCI EAFE Index. In this context, absolute volatility refers to the variation in the returns of the Fund and the benchmark index as measured by standard deviation.
This range is expected to be closer to 0% in less volatile markets and will increase as market conditions become more volatile. The Fund transitioned to a managed volatility strategy in December 2014. Since January 2015, when seeking to generate returns, the Fund has reduced volatility on average by approximately 18% relative to its named benchmark index (based on the standard deviation of monthly returns). As noted, the volatility reduction is expected to vary over time based on market conditions and other factors. The Fund pursues its investment objective by applying a mathematical investment process to construct an investment portfolio from the universe of stocks within the MSCI EAFE Index. In pursuing its investment objective, the Fund will have exposure to investments that are economically tied to a number of countries throughout the world.
The goal of this process is to combine stocks that individually have higher relative volatility, lower absolute volatility, and lower correlations with each other in an effort to reduce the Funds absolute volatility, while still generating returns that exceed the named benchmark index over a full market cycle (a time period representing a significant market decline and recovery). Although the Fund may underperform its named benchmark index in sharply rising markets, this strategy seeks to participate in normal rising markets and lessen losses in down markets. In applying this strategy, Intech establishes target proportions of its holdings from stocks within the named benchmark index using an optimization process designed to determine the most effective weightings of each stock in the Fund.
Once Intech determines such proportions and the Funds investments are selected, the Fund is periodically rebalanced to the set target proportions and re-optimized. The rebalancing techniques used by Intech may result in a higher relative portfolio turnover rate compared to a buy and hold fund strategy. 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.
