- Janus Henderson Small-Mid Cap Value Fund - T Shares (JSVTX) is an open-end mutual fund that seeks capital appreciation by investing at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks of small- and mid-sized U.S. companies with market capitalizations generally below the 12-month average maximum market capitalization of companies in the Russell 2500 Value Index; the fund emphasizes high-quality companies exhibiting strong management teams, stable balance sheets, durable competitive advantages, and attractive valuations determined through a disciplined process prioritizing downside risk mitigation over upside potential. It offers multiple share classes including Class T (JSVTX), Class I (JVSIX), Class A (JVSAX), Class N (JVSNX), Class S (JSVSX), and Class C (JVSCX), with total net assets of approximately $85.14 million as of September 30, 2025; the portfolio typically comprises 30 to 50 high-conviction holdings, 51 equity issues as of the same date, with top sectors including financials (22.66%), industrials (18.36%), and information technology (12.04%), and leading positions in Vontier Corp, Helios Technologies Inc, and Fulton Financial Corp. The fund primarily targets North American markets, with 94.99% U.S. exposure and minor allocations to Europe (2.14%) and cash equivalents (2.87%), delivering lower volatility than the Russell 2500 Value Index over full market cycles through defensive value strategies incorporating ESG factors alongside fundamental analysis. Janus Henderson Small-Mid Cap Value Fund - T Shares was incepted on December 15, 2011, and is managed by the SMID Value Team at Janus Henderson Investors, a global asset manager founded in 1969 with headquarters in Denver, Colorado. Co-portfolio managers Justin Tugman, CFA (since 2019), and Kevin Preloger (since 2019) oversee the strategy, which features a performance-based fee structure, annual distributions, and an expense ratio of 0.94% (net) for Class T shares; the fund integrates ESG risks and opportunities as part of its process without deterministic exclusions. Recent developments at parent company Janus Henderson Group plc include confirmation of a non-binding acquisition proposal from Trian Fund Management and General Catalyst on October 27, 2025, under evaluation by a special committee of independent directors, amid ongoing dialogue with Trian board representatives; the fund reported Q3 2025 returns of 7.08% for Class T shares, trailing the Russell 2500 Value Index's 8.17%, with year-to-date performance at 1.84%.
