Janus Henderson expands active ETF offering in Europe with new fund launch

Janus Henderson Investors is today announcing the launch of the Janus Henderson Tabula Pan European High Conviction Equity UCITS ETF (JCEU GY), the latest addition to the firm’s active ETF franchise in Europe.

The ETF will be managed by experienced portfolio managers Robert Schramm-Fuchs and Marc Schartz, and will adopt a high conviction approach, investing in a concentrated actively managed portfolio of approximately 20 to 25 large and mid-cap European companies. The fund is style-agnostic and invests wherever the best opportunities exist across Pan European equities, showcasing the managers’ exceptional stock selection skills.

Robert Schramm-Fuchs, European Equities Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson, said: “Europe is home to a wide array of world-leading companies, the diversity of which allows investors to balance exposure between cyclical businesses and those geared into secular growth themes. Current valuations appear attractive and the dispersion of returns across different European equity markets and sectors present opportunities for active managers to enhance performance. We believe a high conviction approach, coupled with a repeatable and disciplined investment process, can harness the alpha potential available in the region, and ultimately deliver for our clients”.

This new launch extends Janus Henderson’s offering of active ETFs in Europe, following the announcement of its inaugural active ETF in the region in October 2024, and builds on the firm’s extremely successful proposition in the US where it is the fourth largest provider of actively managed fixed income ETFs globally*.

Ignacio De La Maza, Head of EMEA & LatAm Client Group at Janus Henderson, said: “When we launched our first active ETF for European investors last month, we said it was just the beginning of our journey, and I am thrilled that we now have another product to offer to our clients.

Janus Henderson has a rich heritage of investing in European equities, with a history spanning over 40 years. The launch of this fund offers investors an alternative way of leveraging our significant expertise in this market”.

The fund will initially list on Xetra with ticker JCEU GY followed by a listing on Borsa Italiana and will be available in all major European markets.
