- Janus Henderson Global Technology and Innovation Fund (JATNX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks long-term capital growth by investing primarily in equity securities of companies worldwide that create, benefit from, or enable advances in technology and innovation; it normally allocates at least 80% of its net assets (plus borrowings for investment purposes) to such securities, with at least 40% in issuers economically tied to countries outside the United States, including up to 20% in emerging markets. The fund employs a growth-oriented strategy focused on resilient companies with strong innovation cultures, long-term potential, and attractive valuations, supplemented by smaller positions in higher-optionality names offering significant upside in specific scenarios; its portfolio emphasizes technology (approximately 80%), consumer cyclical, and communication services sectors, with top holdings including Microsoft Corp., NVIDIA Corp., Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd., Apple Inc., and Broadcom Inc., representing over 43% of assets. Managed by Denny Fish since January 2016 and Jonathan Cofsky since March 2022, the fund targets institutional investors with a minimum initial investment of $1 million and maintains a net expense ratio of 0.66%.
The fund, domiciled in the United States and launched on January 27, 2017, operates within the technology sector category and is available for sale in the U.S., with total net assets of approximately $7.36 billion across share classes and geographic exposure heavily weighted toward the United States (74%), followed by developed Asia, Canada, the Eurozone, and Latin America. Janus Henderson Investors, the fund's sponsor, resulted from the 2017 merger of Janus Capital (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (origins in 1934 in London); the firm maintains dual headquarters in Denver at 151 Detroit Street and London at 201 Bishopsgate, with global operations across multiple offices worldwide.
Recent developments include strong quarterly performances, such as a 26.36% return in Q2 2025 driven by holdings in Apple, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Amphenol amid robust AI demand, and a Q3 2025 portfolio update reflecting ongoing adjustments to technology sector trends. In 2024, Janus Henderson pursued strategic growth through acquisitions, including a majority stake in Victory Park Capital to bolster private credit capabilities (expected close Q4 2024) and partnerships like one with NBK Wealth for emerging markets private capital; shareholders approved modifications to the fund's fundamental concentration policy in late 2024 to enhance investment flexibility. These moves align with the firm's broader expansion in alternatives and ETFs to meet client demand.
