- Janus Henderson Global Bond Fund Class A (JGBAX) is a mutual fund managed by Janus Henderson Investors that seeks total return through a combination of income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in global fixed-income securities. The fund normally allocates at least 80% of its net assets to bonds, including investment-grade corporate bonds, government notes and bonds, convertible bonds, mortgage-backed securities, and zero-coupon bonds issued by entities worldwide, with up to 35% in high-yield securities and potential exposure to developing markets; it benchmarks against the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Bond Hedged USD Index, targeting outperformance of 1.25% annually over five years before fees. Janus Henderson Investors, the fund's sponsor, operates globally with headquarters in Denver, Colorado, and was formed in 2017 through the merger of Janus Capital Group, founded in 1969, and Henderson Group; the firm manages assets across equities, fixed income, alternatives, and multi-asset strategies for institutional and retail clients in regions including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East.
In a major operational change, the Janus Henderson Global Bond Fund, including Class A (JGBAX), was liquidated on or about February 29, 2024, following a final distribution announcement in preparation for closure, rendering the share class inactive. This decision aligned with Janus Henderson's ongoing portfolio optimization, as evidenced by other recent fund closures such as the U.S. Sustainable Equity ETF planned for October 2025 and various credit and index funds in 2024. Concurrently, Janus Henderson pursued strategic growth through acquisitions including a majority stake in Victory Park Capital Advisors in 2024 to bolster private credit capabilities, Tabula Investment Management for ETF expansion, and NBK Capital Partners rebranded as Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Private Investments; the firm also announced a partnership with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America in April 2025, securing up to $400 million in seed capital for fixed income and securitized credit products, including the launch of the JABS asset-backed securities ETF.
