- Janus Henderson Global Select Fund (JORAX) is an open-end investment company that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in a portfolio of 40 to 70 domestic and foreign common stocks selected for their growth potential, focusing on companies worldwide where the market underestimates free-cash-flow growth; the fund employs both growth and value criteria across all-cap equities to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns over the long term, regardless of market conditions, with prudent portfolio construction emphasizing stock selection, risk management, and avoidance of persistent biases. The fund, domiciled in the United States and available for sale there with a minimum initial investment of $2,500, maintains allocations such as approximately 56% in U.S. stocks, 41% in non-U.S. stocks, and 3% in cash, diversified across sectors including technology (23%), financial services (17%), industrials (15%), consumer cyclical (13%), and communication services (12%), as well as regions like the United States (56%), Eurozone (10%), United Kingdom (10%), and developed Asia (7%). It is managed by Janus Henderson Investors, a global asset manager formed in 2017 from the merger of Janus Capital (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Global Investors (origins in 1934 in London), with dual headquarters in London, United Kingdom, and Denver, Colorado, and operations spanning multiple offices worldwide.
Recent developments for the fund include the appointment of Christopher O'Malley, CFA, as co-portfolio manager effective January 26, 2024, alongside lead manager Julian McManus (since January 2018), enhancing the team's focus on high-conviction global equity selection. On the parent company level within the last two years, Janus Henderson has pursued strategic expansions through key acquisitions and partnerships, such as the October 2024 acquisition of Victory Park Capital Advisors to bolster global private credit capabilities; the September 2024 formation of Janus Henderson Emerging Markets Private Investments Ltd. following the acquisition of NBK Capital Partners' team; the July 2024 integration of Tabula Investment Management to strengthen ETF offerings in EMEA; the June 2025 partnership with Guardian Life Insurance Company to manage a $45 billion fixed income portfolio and co-develop multi-asset model portfolios; and the June 2023 joint venture with Privacore Capital for alternative investments distribution to private wealth clients. These initiatives reflect Janus Henderson's broader push into private markets, alternatives, and specialized capabilities while maintaining robust performance for funds like JORAX, which reported net assets of approximately $3.05 billion as of late 2025 and a Q3 2025 return of 5.88%.
