Janus Henderson Investors has announced the launch of the Janus Henderson Tabula Pan European High Conviction Equity UCITS ETF, the latest addition to the firm’s active management ETF franchise in Europe. According to the firm, it is an equity fund that invests in around 20-25 large and mid-cap European companies. The fund will be managed by Robert Schramm-Fuchs and Marc Schartz and will adopt a high-conviction approach.
The firm clarifies that the strategy lacks a specific style and invests wherever the best opportunities in pan-European equities are found, highlighting the managers’ exceptional stock-picking ability. “We believe that a high-conviction approach, along with a replicable and disciplined investment process, can capture the available alpha potential in the region and ultimately benefit our clients. This new launch increases Janus Henderson’s active management ETF offering in Europe, following the announcement of its first such ETF in the region in October 2024, and builds on the firm’s highly successful proposition in the U.S., where it is the fourth-largest provider of active management fixed income ETFs globally,” said Robert Schramm-Fuchs, portfolio manager on Janus Henderson’s European equity team.
According to the manager, Europe is home to a wide range of global-leading companies, whose diversity allows investors to balance exposure between cyclical companies and those focused on long-term growth themes. “Current valuations are attractive, and the dispersion of returns across different European equity markets and sectors presents opportunities for active managers to enhance performance,” he stated.
Following this new launch, Ignacio De La Maza, Head of EMEA and Latin America Client Group at Janus Henderson, said, “When we launched our first active management ETF for European investors last month, we said it was just the beginning of our journey, and I am delighted that we now have another product to offer our clients. Janus Henderson has a long tradition of investing in European equities, with a track record of over 40 years. The launch of this fund provides investors with an alternative way to leverage our extensive experience in this market.”
The fund will initially be listed on Xetra with the ticker JCEU GY and will subsequently be available on Borsa Italiana, as well as in other major European markets.
