About JAFLX

Janus Henderson Flexible Bond Portfolio – Institutional Shares is an intermediate core-plus bond mutual fund that seeks to provide risk-adjusted returns and capital preservation for investors. The portfolio employs a flexible, actively managed approach, focusing primarily on investment-grade U.S. fixed-income securities, including government, corporate, and securitized debt. In addition to its core holdings, the fund has the discretion to allocate up to 35% of assets to non-core sectors such as high-yield (below investment grade) bonds, bank loans, emerging-market debt, and non-U.S. currency exposures, allowing it to adapt to diverse market conditions. The fund's strategy leverages bottom-up fundamental research, integrating insights from both fixed income and equity analysts to identify credit opportunities and manage risk. It maintains a moderate interest rate sensitivity, as reflected by an effective duration typically ranging from 3 to 7 years, ensuring balanced exposure to changing rate environments. The portfolio’s sophisticated risk management framework, including proprietary tools, further helps mitigate risks at multiple levels. Janus Henderson Flexible Bond Portfolio – Institutional Shares is positioned as a core holding within a fixed-income allocation, offering the versatility to pursue returns across broad sectors while maintaining a disciplined approach to credit quality and risk.
