- Janus Henderson Global Sust Eq C (JECTX) is an open-end mutual fund managed by Janus Henderson Investors that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing, under normal circumstances, at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of companies aligned with ten environmental and social sustainability themes, including resource efficiency, healthier and more inclusive societies, and sustainable living; the fund emphasizes high-conviction holdings in large-cap growth stocks with significant exposure to technology (27.84%), industrials (20.90%), and financial services (18.80%), primarily in the United States (62.99%), Eurozone (15.40%), and Canada (7.26%). Top holdings include Microsoft Corp. (5.29%), Spotify Technology SA (3.94%), NVIDIA Corp. (3.85%), McKesson Corp. (3.56%), and Progressive Corp. (3.53%), comprising 20.17% of the portfolio. The Class C share class, domiciled in the United States and available primarily to U.S. investors, features a net expense ratio of 1.91%, a 1.00% deferred load, and a minimum initial investment of $2,500.
Launched on June 25, 2020, the fund is led by portfolio managers Hamish Chamberlayne, who has overseen the sustainable equity strategy since 2014, and Aaron Scully since inception, drawing on Janus Henderson's 30-year history in sustainable investing. Janus Henderson Investors, formed by the 2017 merger of Janus Capital Group (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (roots in 1934 in London), is a global asset manager headquartered in London with over 25 offices worldwide, approximately 2,000 employees, more than 350 investment professionals, and $483.8 billion in assets under management as of September 30, 2025.
In recent strategic developments, Janus Henderson has pursued growth through multiple acquisitions and partnerships, including the 2024 acquisition of European ETF provider Tabula Investment Management to expand active ETF offerings globally; a strategic alliance with NBK Wealth to form an emerging markets private capital division; the acquisition of an infrastructure platform NDK focused on emerging markets; and a majority stake in U.S.-based private credit manager Victory Park Capital in August 2024, expected to close in Q4 2024 and enhance securitized credit capabilities amid growing client demand for private markets. The firm launched the Transformational Growth Equities ETF (JXX) in February 2025 and continues to prioritize active ETFs, M&A in illiquid assets, and European expansion, while receiving a purchase offer from Trian and General Catalyst in December 2025. These moves support diversification across equities ($254.2 billion AUM), fixed income, multi-asset, and alternatives for institutional, advisor, and individual clients globally.
