Janus Henderson Investors has expanded its active ETF offering with the launch of a new China equity fund.
According to the London-based asset manager, China’s structural transformation is creating areas of long-term growth potential. The Janus Henderson China Equity Active Core UCITS ETF offers investors access to these opportunities through an approach that combines fundamental and thematic insights with quantitative portfolio construction, balancing active conviction with systematic discipline and diversification.
The fund adopts an active, risk-controlled approach, investing in a diversified portfolio of approximately 100 to 150 Chinese companies.
“China is home to a wide array of companies, allowing investors to balance exposure between businesses positioned to benefit from structural growth themes and those offering attractive valuations and improving shareholder returns,” says Victoria Mio, head of Greater China equities at Janus Henderson.
“Current valuations appear attractive, while the dispersion of returns across Chinese companies and sectors creates opportunities for active managers to enhance performance. We believe a transparent, systematic and risk-controlled approach, coupled with a repeatable investment process, can identify China’s future winners and harness the alpha potential available in the region.”
Mio is one of the fund’s managers, along with Benjamin Wang and Zoey Zhu.
The Janus Henderson China Equity Active Core UCITS ETF ( JCHN ) is listed on the London Stock Exchange, with total expense ratio of 0.39%.
