Investment objective & strategy

As of March 4, 2026 · prospectus

Objective. Janus Henderson Low Duration Multi-Sector Income Fund seeks to maximize total return and current income, consistent with preservation of capital.

Strategy. The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing, under normal circumstances, in a multi-sector portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. debt securities of varying maturities that portfolio management believes have high income potential relative to other fixed-income instruments available at a given point in time. The Funds investment sectors include, but are not limited to: (i) government notes and bonds; (ii) corporate bonds, including high-yield bonds (also known as junk bonds); (iii) commercial loans; (iv) agency and non-agency commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities; (v) asset-backed securities; (vi) convertible securities and preferred stock; and (vii) emerging market debt. Portfolio management believes that by investing in multiple sectors that potentially have low correlation to each other, the Funds overall volatility may be … The Fund pursues its investment objective by primarily investing, under normal circumstances, in a multi-sector portfolio of U.S. and non-U.S. debt securities of varying maturities that portfolio management believes have high income potential relative to other fixed-income instruments available at a given point in time. The Funds investment sectors include, but are not limited to: (i) government notes and bonds; (ii) corporate bonds, including high-yield bonds (also known as junk bonds); (iii) commercial loans; (iv) agency and non-agency commercial and residential mortgage-backed securities; (v) asset-backed securities; (vi) convertible securities and preferred stock; and (vii) emerging market debt. Portfolio management believes that by investing in multiple sectors that potentially have low correlation to each other, the Funds overall volatility may be reduced. The Fund may not have exposure to all of these investment sectors, and the Funds exposure to any one investment sector will vary over time. The Funds average portfolio duration typically ranges from zero to three years. While the Fund primarily invests in investment-grade debt securities, it may invest up to 35% of its assets in below investment grade securities. The Fund may invest up to 15% of its assets in emerging market debt. Securities in which the Fund may invest include bank loans, commercial paper, floating rate obligations, including collateralized loan obligations (and investments that provide exposure to collateralized loan obligations), credit risk transfer securities (CRTs), floating rate senior secured syndicated bank loans, floating rate unsecured loans, and other floating rate bonds, loans and notes, and fixed-rate notes. The Fund may enter into to be announced or TBA commitments when purchasing mortgage-backed securities or other securities. The Fund may also invest in securities that have contractual restrictions that prohibit or limit their public resale, which may include Rule 144A securities. Additionally, the Fund may invest its assets in derivatives. Derivative instruments have a value derived from, or directly linked to, an underlying asset, such as fixed-income securities, commodities, currencies, interest rates, or market indices. In particular, the Fund may use swaps, including interest rate, total return and credit-default swaps, options, forward contracts, and interest rate or bond futures. The Fund may use derivatives for various investment purposes including for hedging purposes, such as to manage portfolio risk or currency risk, to enhance returns, or manage duration. The Funds exposure to derivatives will vary. The Fund may engage in short sales of derivatives instruments. Portfolio managements investment process is research-driven, incorporating top-down and bottom-up factors to identify and manage exposure to risks across sectors, industries, and individual investments. Portfolio management evaluates expected risk-adjusted returns on a portfolio and position level by analyzing fundamentals, valuations, and market technical indicators. This research encompasses both traditional fundamental analysis and data driven quantitative models and signals from such models. As part of its investment process, portfolio management considers environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities (ESG Factors) that it believes are financially material, alongside other fundamental investment factors. Examples of potential financially material ESG Factors include: corporate governance, company culture, exposure to climate change, and human capital management. To assess ESG Factors, portfolio management uses issuer reports, third-party data, and internally-generated analyses and may engage directly with issuers. ESG Factors are one of many considerations in the investment decision-making process, may not be determinative in deciding to include or exclude an investment from the portfolio, and may not be considered for every investment decision. The Fund may seek to earn additional income through lending its securities to certain qualified broker-dealers and institutions, in an amount equal to up to one-third of its total assets as determined at the time of the loan origination.
