- Janus Henderson Asia Equity Fund (JAQNX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in equity securities of companies in Asian markets, including common stocks, preferred stocks, depositary receipts, convertible securities, equity-linked securities, and real estate investment trusts sponsored by Asian issuers; the fund generally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to such equities across companies of any market capitalization, with a focus on diversification across multiple Asian countries, including emerging markets, though it may concentrate in a single country under unusual circumstances. Managed by Janus Henderson Investors, the fund employs a bottom-up approach driven by fundamental research, blending value and growth opportunities while targeting outperformance of the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index by at least 2% per annum over any five-year period before charges. It serves institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to the Pacific/Asia ex-Japan stock segment, with operations spanning Asian emerging markets such as those defined in the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index. Inaugurated on July 29, 2011, and headquartered through its manager Janus Henderson Investors in Denver, Colorado, with additional key offices in London, the fund benefits from the parent's global presence across regions including the United States, United Kingdom, and Asia-Pacific. Janus Henderson Investors, formed in 2017 from the merger of Janus Capital (founded 1969) and Henderson Global Investors (roots in 1934), oversees the fund as part of its broader equities strategies. Recent strategic developments at Janus Henderson include the August 2024 announcement of its acquisition of Victory Park Capital, a global private credit manager, expected to close in Q4 2024 and enhance private market capabilities; a May 2024 strategic partnership with NBK Wealth to form an emerging markets private capital division; and an acquisition of Tabula to expand ETF offerings, reflecting active M&A to meet client demand in emerging markets and alternatives. In early 2025, related Asia-focused strategies underwent repositioning, such as the February rebranding of Janus Henderson Asia Pacific Capital Growth to Emerging Markets Asia with updated investment policy emphasizing Asian emerging markets equities and a shift in performance benchmark to the MSCI Emerging Markets Asia Index. These changes underscore Janus Henderson's focus on evolving its Asia equity and emerging markets platforms amid client needs for diversified, high-conviction strategies.
