- Janus Henderson Research Fund Class A (JRAAX) is a large-cap growth mutual fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing primarily in common stocks of U.S. companies with strong growth potential, leveraging the best ideas from Janus Henderson Investors' global research sector teams. The fund employs a bottom-up stock-picking approach focused on industry-leading companies with brand power, enduring business models, and competitive positioning; it maintains sector allocations aligned with the benchmark, such as the Russell 1000 Growth Index, while emphasizing high-conviction positions in sectors like technology (over 50% allocation), communication services, and consumer cyclical; top holdings typically include leading names such as NVIDIA Corp., Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc., Broadcom Inc., and Meta Platforms Inc., representing around 45% of the portfolio. Managed by Joshua Cummings, CFA, and John Jordan since January 26, 2024, the fund features a net expense ratio of 0.86%, a front-end load of 5.75%, daily pricing, and a minimum initial investment of $2,500, with total net assets exceeding $28 billion across share classes. Janus Henderson Investors, the fund's sponsor, is a British-American global asset manager formed in 2017 from the merger of Janus Capital Group (founded 1969 in Denver, Colorado) and Henderson Group (roots in 1934 in London), headquartered in the City of London, United Kingdom, with over 25 offices worldwide and approximately $484 billion in assets under management as of late 2025. The firm offers a broad range of investment products including equities ($254 billion AUM), fixed income ($153 billion AUM), and alternatives to individual, intermediary, and institutional investors globally, with a focus on active management, research-driven strategies, and geographic diversity across the U.S., Europe, Asia Pacific, and emerging markets. Recent developments at Janus Henderson include the October 2024 acquisition of Victory Park Capital Advisors, LLC, enhancing private credit and securitized credit capabilities; a June 2025 strategic partnership with The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America to manage a $45 billion fixed-income portfolio and develop multi-asset model portfolios; earlier 2024 moves such as the acquisition of Tabula Investment Management for European ETFs and a partnership with NBK Wealth for emerging markets private capital; and new ETF launches including the Janus Henderson Asset-Backed Securities ETF (JABS) and Transformational Growth Equities ETF (JXX). These initiatives reflect ongoing expansion into private markets, ETFs, and fixed income to meet client demand amid projected growth in active ETFs and illiquid assets. The JRAAX share class, part of an open-ended investment company domiciled in the United States and launched on July 6, 2009 (with the underlying Research Fund inception May 3, 1993), remains available primarily to U.S. investors through intermediaries.
