Janus Henderson has listed seven active UCITS ETFs on the London Stock Exchange, broadening the range of actively managed strategies available to UK and European investors.
The products cover short-duration high yield, emerging market government bonds, mortgage-backed securities, global equity and high-conviction US equity strategies, with fees ranging from 0.20% to 0.54% a year. The listings include GBP-hedged share classes for UK investors seeking to access overseas fixed income strategies while reducing currency risk.
The new LSE listings include the Janus Henderson US Short Duration High Yield Active Core UCITS ETF, the Janus Henderson US Transformational Growth High Conviction Equity UCITS ETF, the Janus Henderson Mexico Government Bond USD 10-30Y Core UCITS ETF, the Janus Henderson USD Mortgage-Backed Securities Active Core UCITS ETF, the Janus Henderson Global Research-Engineered Equity Active Core UCITS ETF and the Janus Henderson EUR Short Duration Income Active Core UCITS ETF.
Janus Henderson’s European active ETF platform has now passed $1bn in assets under management, following the group’s acquisition of Tabula Investment Management in 2024 and the subsequent rebranding of the ETF range under the Janus Henderson name in September 2025.
The firm describes its “Active Core” range as actively managed ETFs designed to sit at the core of portfolios, combining lower costs than traditional mutual funds with daily portfolio transparency. The product list now shows 18 ETF and ETC products with group assets of $2.74bn, including fixed income, equity, CLO and gold exposures.
The move strengthens Janus Henderson’s UK presence and extends a European ETF push that has already covered CLOs, mortgage-backed securities, credit, sovereign debt and actively managed equities.
Our view
David Batchelor, senior analyst at QuotedData, said: “These launches from Janus Henderson go beyond just another product expansion – they show how traditional active managers are increasingly treating ETFs as a core route to market, rather than a bolt-on format. For UK investors, the key development is the broadening of choice across fixed income and equity strategies in an ETF structure, particularly where GBP-hedged share classes make overseas exposures more accessible”.
