Janus Henderson Investors today announced the launch of the Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Equity Active Core UCITS ETF (ticker: JGBL), now listed on the London Stock Exchange .

The ETF targets a tracking error of around 1.5% relative to the MSCI World Index and is designed for investors seeking outperformance driven by fundamental research, while aiming for low levels of active risk. It is managed by John Jordan, Joshua Cummings and Jeremy Tjaden, who are part of a highly experienced investment team with a strong track record of delivering attractive long-term, risk-adjusted returns. Together, the team actively manages approximately $35 billion in assets across a range of research-led strategies.

“We believe that deep fundamental research can meaningfully enhance investment outcomes. JGBL gives investors with benchmark-constrained global equity allocations access to Janus Henderson’s high-quality research in an ETF format. While demand for ETFs remains strong, many investors are looking beyond passive exposure, and this latest ETF is designed to meet that need,” commented Ignacio De La Maza, Head of EMEA & LatAm Client Group at Janus Henderson Investors.

This marks the first time that the Janus Henderson Global Research Equity strategy is available via a UCITS ETF. JGBL delivers a version of the firm’s Global Research Equity strategy specifically tailored for the European ETF market.

“Our process captures the insights of our global research analysts in a portfolio engineered for core allocations, with an approximate 1.5% target tracking error for the ETF relative to the MSCI World Index, providing the potential for meaningful outperformance,” said John Jordan, Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson Investors.

JGBL is the latest addition to Janus Henderson’s growing active UCITS ETF proposition, bringing the total to eight. This year alone, the firm has introduced several products, including the EUR AAA CLO ETF (JCLO) in January, the USD AAA CLO ETF (JAAA) in March, the Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (JMBS) in May, the Euro Short Duration ETF (JHES) in June and the US Transformational Growth Equities ETF (JTXX) in July.
