Janus Henderson Investors (NYSE: JHG) has recently launched the Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ: JHAI), further expanding its equities ETF offerings for U.S. intermediary clients. The new ETF is designed to generate strong investment returns by identifying companies that are enabling, enhancing, or benefiting from the use of artificial intelligence (AI).

The JHAI ETF is actively managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers, including Denny Fish, Jonathan Cofsky, CFA, Brian Recht, and Chris Benway, CFA. The investment team believes that active and bottom-up fundamental research is additive to an AI-focused ETF, and that investing in companies that contribute to or benefit from AI could offer an opportunity for investors to benefit from significant disruption and durable growth [2].

The Fund seeks to help clients harness the long-term disruptive power of AI by utilizing the firm’s dedicated technology and industrial analysts, well-established history of investing in innovation, and its potential to identify trends over the long term. Janus Henderson has a long history of managing global technology and innovation portfolios dating back to 1998 in the U.S.

The JHAI ETF aims to target companies reshaping their business models with AI, beyond just traditional technology investments. The analysts are strategic investors with hands-on, deep domain knowledge, which they believe gives them an edge in identifying tomorrow’s AI leaders. The Fund continues the expansion of the Janus Henderson Americas Equities team into the ETF space, utilizing the team’s well-established fundamental research philosophy and process for global technology and innovation, including AI.

Investors should be aware of the risks associated with investing in AI-focused companies, including rapid product obsolescence, intense competition, and increased regulatory scrutiny. Additionally, actively managed investment portfolios are subject to the risk that the investment strategies and research process employed may fail to produce the intended results. Concentrated investments in a single sector, industry, or region will be more susceptible to factors affecting that group and may be more volatile than less concentrated investments or the market as a whole [2].

Before making any investment decisions, investors should carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses.
