Janus Henderson Dividend & Income Builder Fund - T Shares (HDTVX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Janus Henderson Investors that seeks income with the potential for capital growth over the long term by investing primarily in dividend-paying international equities. The fund normally invests at least 80% of its net assets in a core portfolio of 40-60 equity securities, including common stocks, preferred stocks, depository receipts, and other equity-related securities of companies located in developed and emerging markets outside the United States; it emphasizes undervalued companies with strong cash flows, sustainable dividends, and long-term growth prospects across sectors such as financial services, technology, industrials, healthcare, and consumer defensive. Geographic exposure includes major regions like the Eurozone, United Kingdom, Europe ex-Euro, developed Asia, and Japan, with top holdings such as Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing, RELX PLC, Sony Group, Zurich Insurance Group, and National Grid PLC.
Launched on June 5, 2017, the T Shares class forms part of Janus Henderson's broader suite of dividend-focused strategies offered through its U.S.-domiciled funds, with total net assets for the share class around $11 million as of recent data and an expense ratio of approximately 1.09%. Janus Henderson Investors, the fund's manager, resulted from the 2017 merger of Janus Capital Group (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (origins in 1934 in London), and maintains global operations with headquarters in London, United Kingdom, and key offices in Denver, United States.
In recent developments, Janus Henderson reported strong second-quarter 2025 results with net inflows of $46.7 billion, driven by a strategic partnership with The Guardian Life Insurance Company involving $46.5 billion in fixed-income assets and seed funding for the new Asset-Backed Securities ETF (JABS); the firm also increased its quarterly dividend by 3% to $0.40 per share and authorized $200 million in share buybacks through April 2026. These moves reflect ongoing expansion in fixed income and ETF offerings, alongside positive active flows amid industry challenges, positioning the firm to enhance its dividend and income product ecosystem that includes HDTVX.
