- Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Fund (HEMCX) is an actively managed open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in emerging market countries. The fund allocates at least 80% of its net assets, plus any borrowings for investment purposes, to equities and equity-related securities of companies domiciled in or conducting the majority of their business in emerging markets as defined by the MSCI Emerging Markets Index, World Bank developing economies, or the investment manager's assessment; it may invest up to 20% in developed market issuers, derivatives including total return swaps for efficient portfolio management and risk reduction, cash, and money market instruments. This style-agnostic, all-cap approach targets compelling opportunities across industries, company sizes including smaller capitalizations, and countries in varying stages of political and economic development, with a performance objective to outperform the MSCI Emerging Markets Index by 2% per annum before charges over any five-year period.
Managed by Janus Henderson Investors, a global asset manager formed in 2017 through the merger of Janus Capital Group (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (origins in 1934 in London), the fund benefits from the parent's expertise in active management across equities, fixed income, multi-asset, and alternatives. Janus Henderson, headquartered at 201 Bishopsgate in London with key U.S. operations in Denver and offices worldwide, serves institutional, retail, and high-net-worth clients globally, managing approximately $361 billion in assets as of mid-2024 across equity, fixed income, ETFs, and private markets strategies.
Recent strategic developments at Janus Henderson include the September 2024 completion of the NBK Capital Partners acquisition, rebranded as Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Private Investments Limited, enhancing private markets capabilities in emerging economies with a focus on alternative investments like private credit previously accessible mainly to large institutions. In October 2024, the firm acquired Victory Park Capital Advisors, a global private credit manager, bolstering securitized credit and asset-backed markets expertise with $6 billion in added assets. June 2025 saw a partnership with Guardian Life Insurance Company to manage its $45 billion investment-grade public fixed income portfolio, alongside up to $400 million in seed capital for fixed income product innovation, further expanding institutional reach and aligning with growing demand for differentiated emerging markets and private solutions.
