Janus Henderson Investors has announced the launch of the Janus Henderson Horizon Discovering New Alpha Fund (DNA), a global equity fund available exclusively to HSBC Private Bank and Premier clients in Asia, Europe, US Offshore, and the Middle East for an initial six-month period.
DNA is a globally diversified portfolio comprising approximately 50 high-conviction stocks aligned with structural trends that are expected to shape future markets. It was designed as a solution to address investors’ growing concern that performance is increasingly being driven by a small group of companies.
The fund employs a dynamic and innovative approach to global equities, going beyond traditional funds and indices to identify emerging opportunities and companies with long-term growth potential. A proprietary optimization process is used to minimize biases and enhance diversification.
Led by experienced portfolio managers Richard Clode and Nick Harper, DNA leverages Janus Henderson’s global team of experts across technology, healthcare, financials, real estate, emerging markets, sustainability, and natural resources, providing access to a wide range of exposures across sectors, market capitalizations, and geographies. This approach reflects Janus Henderson’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions that help clients discover new sources of alpha amid evolving global dynamics.
DNA uses themes to guide idea generation, focusing on seven areas of transformation, smarter automation, mobility, lifestyle shifts, longevity, biotechnology, sovereignty, and net zero 2.0, to identify companies with long-term growth potential. The fund is built on the best ideas of Janus Henderson’s seasoned stock pickers, combined to create a balanced global equity portfolio.
“When we set out to create the DNA fund, we wanted to tap into the true DNA of Janus Henderson, which is the differentiated and proven expertise of our teams in stock selection. Our goal is to identify today the winners of tomorrow,” said Richard Clode, Portfolio Manager at Janus Henderson.
For his part, Ali Dibadj, CEO of Janus Henderson, commented that this agreement with HSBC “reflects our shared commitment to putting clients first and delivering a differentiated proposition that helps investors navigate the evolving market landscape.” Likewise, Lavanya Chari, Global Head of Wealth and Premier Solutions at HSBC, added that this collaboration with Janus Henderson “enables our clients to uncover new investment opportunities beyond AI, while mitigating portfolio concentration risk.”
