\nJanus Henderson Investors has been recognized for strong, risk-adjusted performance with two Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards. The annual awards are granted to funds and fund management firms for consistently strong risk-adjusted three-, five-, and ten-year performance relative to their peers.\n<\/p>\n
\nThis year\u2019s winning U.S. funds were the Janus Henderson Balanced Fund (NYSE: JABNX) and the Janus Henderson European Focus Fund (NYSE: HFERX).\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Janus Henderson Balanced Fund, which also won a Lipper award in 2021, won for the five-year period in the Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Moderate Funds category. The fund pairs large-cap growth equities with an active intermediate-term bond strategy to seek long-term capital growth, consistent with preservation of capital and balanced by current income. The fund was launched in 1992 and is currently managed by Portfolio Managers Jeremiah Buckley, Michael Keough, and Greg Wilensky.\n<\/p>\n
\nThe Janus Henderson European Focus Fund won for the three-year period in the European Region Funds category. HFERX is a regional equity fund that seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation through investment in European companies. The portfolio manager applies a high-conviction, style-agnostic approach, driven by fundamentals and bottom-up investing. The fund was launched in 2001 and is managed by Portfolio Manager Robert Schramm-Fuchs.\n<\/p>\n
\nThese awards demonstrate a track record that underscores the firm\u2019s mission of helping clients define and achieve superior financial outcomes through differentiated insights, disciplined investments, and world-class service.\n<\/p>\n
\nGeorge Maris, Head of Equities \u2013 Americas, at Janus Henderson Investors, said: \u201cIt is an honor for our strategies to be recognized for strong performance following a challenging year. These awards highlight the value active managers provide to our clients\u2019 portfolios. We appreciate the clients who made these awards possible by trusting us to deliver strong risk-adjusted returns over the years.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\nRobert Jenkins, Head of Research, Lipper, Refinitiv, said: \u201cThe 2023 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Awards recognize those award-winning managers who navigated their shareholders through the impacts of a global pandemic and then the perfect storm of economic shocks leading to generational inflation pressure and global central bank interventions.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cProspects for potential recessionary forces taking hold and subdued returns across most major asset classes in 2023, highlights the need for adept stewardship of one\u2019s investments. Fund managers will need to guide their investors through these challenging times and position them favorably for the eventual recovery.\n<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe applaud the 2023 Refinitiv Lipper Fund Award winners such as Janus Henderson for delivering outperformance and the accompanying comfort of consistency to investors\u2019 portfolios through a cross-current of global economic disruptions.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
