Janus Henderson Launches AI-Focused ETF for U.S. Clients

Janus Henderson Group has launched the Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF, an actively managed fund that seeks to generate strong returns by identifying disruptive companies using AI. The fund is managed by Denny Fish, Jonathan Cofsky, Brian Recht, and Chris Benway, and aims to help clients harness the long-term power of AI through bottom-up fundamental research and the firm's history of investing in innovation.

Janus Henderson Group has expanded its equities ETF offerings with the launch of the Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (JHAI), an actively managed fund designed to generate strong returns by identifying disruptive companies leveraging artificial intelligence (AI). The fund, listed on NASDAQ under the ticker JHAI, is managed by a team of experienced portfolio managers: Denny Fish, Jonathan Cofsky, CFA, Brian Recht, and Chris Benway, CFA [1].

JHAI aims to capitalize on the long-term disruptive power of AI by focusing on companies that are reshaping their business models with the technology. The fund's strategy combines bottom-up fundamental research with Janus Henderson's established history of investing in innovation, dating back to 1998 in the U.S. [1].

The investment team believes that active and bottom-up fundamental research is additive to an AI-focused ETF, offering investors the opportunity to benefit from significant disruption and durable growth. The fund seeks to help clients harness the potential of AI by utilizing the firm's dedicated technology and industrial analysts, which have hands-on, deep domain knowledge [1].

Denny Fish, Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson, noted, "We believe artificial intelligence could be the greatest productivity booster since the Industrial Revolution and the biggest economic multiplier in history. We aim to target companies reshaping their business models with AI, beyond just traditional technology investments. Our analysts are strategic investors with hands-on, deep domain knowledge, which we believe gives them an edge in identifying tomorrow’s AI leaders" [1].

JHAI 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 [1].
