JIII Income ETF: A Diversified Fixed-Income Solution from Janus Henderson

How JIII ETF Works

Janus Henderson Income ETF (JIII) is designed to capture high income potential by investing across a diverse mix of U.S. and international bonds, loans, and emerging market debt. By blending multiple sectors—like government bonds, high-yield corporate bonds, and commercial loans—the fund aims to reduce volatility and create a balanced income stream.

With active management using derivatives for smart risk control and an in-depth, research-driven approach, JIII combines flexibility and focus, making it a dynamic option for income-focused investors seeking both stability and growth in fixed-income markets.

As of November 13th, 2024, the fund primarily invests in investment-grade corporate bonds (30%), agency mortgages (22%), and CLOs (17.5%). The portfolio is tilted towards shorter-term maturities, with 35% of fixed-income holdings maturing in 1-3 years. Credit quality is diverse, with significant allocations to B-rated (30%) and AA-rated (20%) securities. The fund is heavily concentrated in North America, with 85% of holdings issued domestically.

JIII has a net expense ratio of 0.52% after an applied fee waiver of 0.03%.

Why Investors Should Consider JIII ETF

The JIII ETF offers a balanced approach to investing, combining rigorous research and disciplined risk management to aim for consistent performance. The team behind it works collaboratively, applying a research-first mentality to identify diverse opportunities that can enhance yield without significantly increasing risk.

With a focus on steady allocation adjustments, JIII is structured to manage risk carefully while seeking meaningful returns, making it a practical choice for investors looking for a thoughtful approach to portfolio growth.

John Kerschner, Head of U.S. Securitized Products and Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson, said: “We believe the income solution space will be one of the fastest growing active ETF opportunities over the next five years. The launch of JIII demonstrates the expansion of our robust active fixed income ETF product offerings designed to meet client needs.”

John Lloyd, Lead, Multi-Sector Credit Strategies and Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson, said: “Our goal is to create a portfolio across all fixed income sectors, aiming to build a portfolio of best ideas across fixed income sectors, striving for higher yields than those of standard core-plus portfolios and greater diversification than single-sector, high-yield strategies.”
