Janus Henderson Investors has expanded its equities ETF offerings with the introduction of the Janus Henderson Global Artificial Intelligence ETF (JHAI), which seeks to generate strong investment returns by identifying disruptive companies that enable, enhance, or benefit from the use of artificial intelligence (AI) [1]. The actively managed fund is designed to capture the long-term disruptive power of AI, focusing on companies reshaping their business models with the technology.

Managed by a team of experienced Portfolio Managers, including Denny Fish, Jonathan Cofsky, CFA, Brian Recht, and Chris Benway, CFA, JHAI is structured to invest in three categories of companies: enablers, enhancers, and end-users. Enablers provide the core technology and infrastructure for AI training and deployment, while enhancers refine and improve AI solutions. End-users apply AI tools to streamline operations and boost efficiency [2].

The fund's launch follows Janus Henderson's long history of managing global technology and innovation portfolios, dating back to 1998 in the U.S. The firm's investment team believes that active and bottom-up fundamental research is additive to an AI-focused ETF, and that investing in AI-focused companies could offer significant disruption and durable growth [1].

JHAI carries an expense ratio of 0.59% and is expected to hold between 40 and 60 securities. The fund aims to help investors 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 [2].
