- Janus Henderson Securitized Income ETF (JSI) is an actively managed exchange-traded fund that seeks current income with a focus on capital preservation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in U.S. dollar-denominated securitized securities, including asset-backed securities (ABS), collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS), collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), and commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS), primarily rated Baa3/BBB- or higher. The ETF employs a fundamental, bottom-up security selection approach across varying maturities to identify high-income opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis within the U.S. securitized market, benchmarking performance against the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the ICE BofA US ABS & CMBS Index. It targets investors seeking income diversification, lower credit risk, reduced duration exposure, and higher average credit quality relative to traditional fixed income portfolios.
Launched on November 8, 2023, by Janus Henderson Investors US LLC under the Janus Detroit Street Trust and domiciled in the United States with administrative operations in Denver, Colorado, JSI forms part of Janus Henderson's suite of active fixed income ETFs. The fund is managed by portfolio managers John P. Kerschner, CFA, Head of U.S. Securitized Products, and Nick Childs, CFA. It operates exclusively in U.S. fixed income markets, providing exposure to underrepresented securitized sectors often absent from major benchmarks.
In a significant milestone, JSI surpassed $1 billion in assets under management (AUM) in August 2025, less than two years after launch, reflecting strong investor demand for its high-income, low-credit-risk profile amid growing interest in active securitized strategies. This achievement positions JSI as one of five Janus Henderson active fixed income ETFs exceeding $1 billion AUM, alongside JMBS, JAAA, JBBB, and VNLA, contributing to the firm's status as the second-largest active fixed income ETF provider with over $35 billion in total AUM. No major acquisitions, partnerships, or strategic shifts have been reported for JSI in the last 1-2 years beyond this rapid AUM growth and its integration into Janus Henderson's expanding securitized product lineup.
