- Janus Henderson Global Real Estate Fund Class A (JERAX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks total return through a combination of capital appreciation and current income by investing at least 80% of its net assets in equity securities of real estate-related companies worldwide, including common stocks, preferred stocks, real estate investment trusts (REITs), and similar entities; these holdings primarily derive revenue from real estate ownership, management, development, or related industries. The fund employs a risk-aware, active management strategy with a high-conviction, all-cap portfolio selected from regulated exchanges globally, emphasizing in-depth company research, quantitative projections, and benchmark-aware positioning to capture global real estate fundamentals. Key holdings include Equinix Inc., Prologis Inc., Digital Realty Trust Inc., Welltower Inc., and Public Storage, with approximately 98% allocation to real estate sectors, 63% to U.S. stocks, and the balance diversified across regions such as Japan, the Eurozone, Developed Asia, and Australasia. Launched on November 28, 2007, and domiciled in the United States with a minimum initial investment of $2,500 and a net expense ratio of 0.99%, the fund is managed by Guy Barnard and Tim Gibson since June 2017 and Greg Kuhl since March 2019. Part of Janus Henderson Investors, formed from the 2017 merger of Janus Capital (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (roots in 1934, London), the firm maintains global operations including offices in North America, Europe, and Asia to support multi-local expertise in stock selection. Recent developments at Janus Henderson include the August 2024 announcement of a majority stake acquisition in Victory Park Capital, a global private credit manager, to expand private markets capabilities complementary to its securitized credit franchise; a strategic partnership with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and CNO Financial Group in 2025 to enhance fixed-income and multi-asset offerings; and launches of new ETFs such as the Janus Henderson Asset-Backed Securities ETF (JABS) and Transformational Growth Equities ETF (JXX), alongside the March 2025 Janus Henderson Anemoy Treasury Fund.
